We understand your distress and we are here to pray and support you in this difficult time. Firstly, we thank God for the precious gift of your baby and we pray for God's protection and wisdom upon your life as a new mother.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is in need of your divine protection and support. Lord, she is a new mother, with a beautiful one-month-old baby, and she is facing emotional and psychological distress from her own mother. Please, Lord, be her comfort and guide. Grant her the serenity to trust in you and the courage to set boundaries that protect her child and herself.
Lord, we also bring before you the situation with her mother. We ask that you soften her heart and open her eyes to the impact of her actions. We rebuke the spirit of manipulation and deceit that has caused division and mistrust within the family. Lord, we know that your heart is for reconciliation and unity, but we also know that you do not tolerate abuse or dismissiveness, as it is written in Proverbs 17:15 WEB, 'He who justifies the wicked, and he who condemns the righteous, both of them alike are an abomination to Yahweh.'
Father, we pray for a safe haven for this new mother and her baby. We ask that you provide for them and lead them to a place of peace and security. We also pray for her extended family, that the truth may be revealed to them and that healing and trust can be restored.
Lastly, Lord, we pray that our sister may find strength and hope in you. That she may know that you are her refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble, as it is written in Psalm 46:1 WEB. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to stay strong in your faith and trust that God has a plan for you and your baby. Remember, Jesus said in Matthew 19:14 WEB, "But Jesus said, 'Let the little children come to me, and donβt hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these.'" God has a special place in his heart for children, and he will protect and provide for you both.
We also want to remind you that it is important to set boundaries to protect your child and yourself. It is not wrong to do so, especially when there is a pattern of dismissive and hurtful behavior. Trust in God, and he will make a way for you.
Lastly, we noticed that your request did not mention Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it is only by his name that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 WEB says, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" We encourage you to believe in Jesus Christ and his saving power.
