Someone incredibly close to me, who I love more than anything, became involved in an occult group a few years back. About 18 months ago, she was invited to join their leadership, and since then things have been extremely difficult; our relationship has become more tense, she has become more irritable and unhappy, and she's involving increasing numbers of new people in some of these rituals under the guise of, "healing" – as many as hundreds a year right now, with plans to expand. This past weekend she was given an ultimatum; either distance herself from me, or they will no longer work with her. I'm the only person close to her outside the group, and to the best of my knowledge the only Christian in her life at all. We've been extremely close up until the last year, but the further she goes into the group the more it seems to be physically painful for her to be around me; she says she becomes extremely anxious, her stomach roils, and she is often sick to her stomach for days at a time afterwards (she specifically states I haven't said or done anything to cause this or treated her poorly, it seems to just be my presence and my energy). I would appreciate prayer for the following if possible:
That she would open her eyes to what she is doing, and see the truth. This, above all. Right now she doesn't believe there is anything dark about what she's doing, and truly believes, with the full intent of her heart, that she's helping people heal. I absolutely believe she would stop and turn immediately if she realized what she was involved in.
That the group would experience strife and division, and the leaders would reveal their true character.
That she would be at peace in my presence. I'm trying to nudge her towards truth as gently as I can, but there will be no one left to do that if I'm cut off.
For protection for those she's working on, as well as for myself and my son (we've had multiple accidents and strange occurrences that seemed to be linked to her group).
