NOVENA Prayer to Our Lady, Undoer of Knots

Day 1: Freedom from Family Burdens and Generational Chains

Verse:“They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the Lord — Jeremiah 1:19

Reflection

Many of the deepest struggles we face are not only personal but generational. They are chains carried silently through bloodlines knots passed from fathers to sons, mothers to daughters, from the unseen choices of our ancestors to the reality of our lives today. Cycles of poverty, bitterness, separation, rejection, spiritual darkness, and emotional wounds often persist not because we choose them, but because we were born into battles we did not start. These knots are complex and deeply rooted, but they are not permanent. God, in His infinite love and mercy, gives us hope through the intercession of Mary, the Undoer of Knots.

Our Blessed Mother knows the weight of family sorrow. She watched her Son suffer, felt the pain of misunderstanding, and lived through moments of exile, uncertainty, and grief. Yet in all things, she trusted the plan of God. Because she understands suffering, she draws near to us in ours. She comes to stand beside us not to condemn or accuse but to gently take into her hands the knots we cannot loosen. Her intercession is not passive; it is powerful, tender, and persistent, always leading us to her Son, Jesus Christ, the only one who can bring lasting restoration.

When we invite Mary into the broken spaces of our families, we allow the grace of Heaven to flow through places long untouched by peace. We open the door to healing where there has only been hiding. We open the door to light where darkness has lingered. And as we surrender these family burdens, we do not do so in fear, but in hope hope that God can transform every curse into a blessing, every wound into a witness, every tear into a testimony of redemption.

So in this first sacred hour, let us bring our families before the throne of grace. Let us bring our histories, our memories, our regrets, and our longings. Let us not hide our pain but expose it to the light of Christ through the gentle hands of His Mother. For in her care, no knot is too tight, no story too twisted, and no heart too far gone. Let the healing begin.

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, source of all healing and hope, we come before You with open hearts and weary spirits. You know the burdens we carry within our families some spoken, many hidden. You see the tears we have cried for those we love, the fears we’ve held over what we cannot change, and the silent anguish over repeated patterns of pain. In this moment, we bring it all to You. Nothing is too difficult for You, O Lord, and no history is beyond Your power to redeem.

We call upon Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, to intercede for us. Her hands, which once cradled the Savior of the world, now reach out to touch the broken places of our families. We ask You, through her prayers, to bring peace to what has been chaotic, healing to what has been hurting, and unity to what has been divided. Send Your Holy Spirit to move freely among us, breaking every yoke, lifting every curse, and restoring every soul to its rightful place in Your divine order.

Prayer

Beloved Mother Mary, Undoer of Knots, I turn to you with the full weight of my family’s pain. I bring before you every memory that haunts us, every relationship that has turned cold, every history that continues to influence our present. I place into your maternal hands the sorrow of broken marriages, the wounds of parental absence, the scars of generational misunderstandings, and the silent shame that has never been named. You see what I cannot express, and yet you do not turn away.

Untie, dear Mother, the knots of bitterness and unforgiveness that have poisoned the hearts of loved ones. Where brothers no longer speak to one another, and spouses live in silent wars, bring reconciliation. Where children have walked away from faith or family, draw them back with cords of love. Let there be new beginnings in the places where everything seems lost, and let laughter return to the homes where only silence remains.

I entrust to you, O Mary, the financial struggles that have haunted my bloodline. I place into your hands the weight of debts, the despair of unemployment, and the pain of poverty that has followed us like a shadow. Undo these knots that keep us bound in cycles of lack and hardship. Let the abundance of Heaven replace every spirit of limitation and open new doors of opportunity for all those in my family.

Visit, Mother, every sick body and every tormented mind. Bring peace to those who cannot sleep and comfort to those who are anxious without reason. Heal the trauma of abuse, the sorrow of neglect, and the despair of isolation. Let your Son’s mercy flood every room and renew every heart with the hope that no one is beyond His reach.

I pray for divine intervention in every story where the enemy has planted seeds of destruction. Expose the lies we have believed. Uproot the curses we have unknowingly embraced. Cancel every spiritual inheritance that is not from God and replace it with the blessing of Abraham, the joy of salvation, and the strength of the Holy Spirit.

Above all, I place myself and my family into your hands, dear Mother. Guide us, protect us, purify us, and lead us into a future marked not by sorrow, but by the freedom and fullness that only comes from your Son. Undo the knots, and let the glory of God be revealed in our lives.

Declaration Prayer

I declare that my family is not forsaken. I declare that every chain of generational bondage is broken in Jesus’ name. I declare that healing flows into our past, present, and future. I declare that what was meant for evil shall turn to good by the power of God. I declare that our story is being rewritten in the language of grace. I declare that Our Lady is untying every knot, and the victory of Christ shall reign in our homes.

Closing Prayer

Lord Jesus, we thank You for this hour of grace. We believe that as we have prayed, You have begun a good work in our lives and in our families. We trust that what is surrendered to You through the heart of Your Mother is never lost but always transformed. Let peace now rest in every household represented in this prayer.

Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, continue to intercede for us as we walk forward. Teach us to wait with patience, to hope with courage, and to love without condition. Stay near us, guide us, and protect the work that has begun. May the next generation rise free, healed, and holy because of what You are untying today. Amen.

Day 2: Deliverance from Stagnation and Life Blockages

Verse:“See, I am doing a new thing. Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” 

Isaiah 43:19

Reflection

There are seasons in life when it feels as though everything has come to a standstill. Despite our efforts, our prayers, and our dreams, doors remain shut, opportunities slip away, and progress is painfully slow. We find ourselves repeating the same cycles, circling the same mountains, watching others advance while we are left behind. This spiritual condition marked by delay, dryness, and deep discouragement is a clear sign of hidden knots: blockages in the spirit that manifest in the natural. Yet these are not permanent. Through Mary, the Undoer of Knots, God makes a way where there was no way.

Stagnation is not always the absence of movement. Sometimes it is movement without direction, effort without fruit. It is the silent frustration of working hard but seeing no results. It is praying fervently but still feeling bound. And often, it is not a matter of failure but of spiritual hindrance something unseen that needs to be surrendered to the Lord. Our Lady understands this. She who lived in quiet obedience, trusted God even when the fulfillment of the promise seemed delayed. Her life teaches us that God’s silence is not His absence and that He is always working in the background, preparing the breakthrough.

In this hour, we cry out for movement. We ask God to break every barrier holding us back from our purpose, to remove every unseen resistance standing against our progress. We pray for a divine turnaround. Where there has been dryness, let new life flow. Where the ground has been hard, let it now break open with blessings. The same God who parted the Red Sea is still able to make a way in your wilderness. And through the intercession of Mary, the Mother who never stops interceding, we receive new oil, fresh fire, and renewed strength for the journey ahead

So let us approach this time of prayer not with despair but with holy expectation. Let us give to Mary the knots of limitation, delay, and resistance that have kept us stuck for too long. Let her untie what we cannot and lead us forward in the victory and power of her Son.

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, You are the God of movement, the Lord of progress and promise. You do not delight in seeing Your children stuck or wandering aimlessly. You have declared that Your plans for us are good, filled with hope and a future. In this hour, we present to You every area of our lives where we have experienced delay, stagnation, or defeat.

We come, Lord, not with entitlement, but with humility. We recognize that there are knots in our paths some of our own making, others planted by the enemy. But we also know that Your grace is sufficient and Your power is made perfect in weakness. We call upon Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, to intercede with maternal care and persistence. Let the blocks be lifted, the burdens be moved, and the way made clear for us to walk in the destiny You have ordained.

Prayer

Dearest Mother Mary, Undoer of Knots, I lift up to you every place in my life that feels stuck and weighed down. You see the dreams I carry, the visions I’ve received, and the promises I believe in yet I remain in the same place. I bring before you the frustration of unanswered prayers, the heaviness of slow progress, and the exhaustion of battles that seem never-ending. I give you this knot of stagnation and ask you to untie it gently with your loving hands.

Undo, Mother, the knots of spiritual blockages every unseen chain that keeps me from growing deeper in my relationship with God. Where there has been confusion, bring clarity. Where there has been dryness, let the living waters of the Holy Spirit flow. Renew my zeal for prayer, my hunger for righteousness, and my obedience to God’s voice. May my spirit rise again with new strength.

I bring to you the areas of delay in my career, my ministry, my calling, and my ambitions. Undo the knots of missed opportunities, forgotten potential, and the constant cycle of near-success. Where doors have remained shut, knock on my behalf. Where my name has been hidden, speak it before kings. Where my efforts have been unseen, shine your light upon them.

Break the knot of fear that keeps me from stepping forward. Deliver me from self-doubt and the lies of the enemy that whisper, “You are not enough.” Let your intercession silence the voice of limitation and awaken the courage to move. Let my feet walk in divine alignment with God’s timing and provision. May every delay now serve as preparation, and every hindrance become a stepping stone.

I surrender the stagnation in my relationships those connections that seem lifeless or broken beyond repair. Revive what has withered. Rebuild what has fallen. Bring divine alignment with those You have appointed for my journey. Let the wrong people be removed and the right ones be established by Your hand.

Finally, Mother, I ask that You untie the knots in my health, in my finances, in my decisions, and in my daily routines. Let nothing in me resist the movement of God. I am ready to rise. I am ready to walk forward. I am ready to see new beginnings. Be my guide, my strength, and my shield, as you lead me through the knots and into freedom.

Declaration Prayer

I declare that I am not stuck, for the hand of God is moving on my behalf. I declare that every blockage is being broken and every hindrance removed. I declare that divine acceleration is my portion, and I shall walk in my destiny. I declare that my spirit is refreshed, and I am filled with clarity and boldness. I declare that every knot of stagnation is undone through the prayers of Our Lady. I declare that this is the hour of release, breakthrough, and new beginnings.

Closing Prayer

Lord Jesus, we thank You for the grace of this hour. We believe that what has been delayed shall no longer be denied. We trust that Your Spirit is going before us to level mountains, lift valleys, and make every crooked path straight. We commit our movement, our decisions, and our timing into Your perfect hands.

Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, we thank you for interceding for us with such love and persistence. Continue to walk beside us, as we move from stagnation into progress, from dryness into fruitfulness, and from despair into divine destiny. May your prayers keep our path clear and our hearts set on God alone. Amen.

Day 3: Healing from Emotional Wounds and Inner Pain

Verse:“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” — Psalm 147:3

Reflection

There are wounds we carry that no one can see. They don’t bleed outwardly, but they ache in silence. These are the inner knots emotional pain tied deep into the soul. The hurt from betrayal, the abandonment of a parent, the rejection of a loved one, the trauma of abuse, the unspoken disappointments that have left us fractured. Many of us walk through life smiling on the outside but breaking inside. These wounds often become the hidden knots that hinder our peace, joy, and ability to trust both God and others. Yet, even in our brokenness, God is not far.

Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, is no stranger to pain. She felt the sorrow of loss, the anguish of misunderstanding, and the sword that pierced her heart. Her tears were real. Her suffering, though hidden in silence, was profound. This makes her a tender companion in our healing journey. She does not rush us or dismiss our pain. Instead, she cradles us in the same arms that once held the suffering Christ and gently presents our wounds to the Divine Healer.

In this hour, we give Mary access to our hidden griefs. We allow her to reach into the places we’ve tried to bury. For too long, we’ve managed our pain instead of healing from it. We’ve worn masks of strength while silently hoping for someone to understand. But healing is possible. Jesus desires to restore us completely emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Through Mary’s intercession, the balm of divine comfort flows into the places where words have failed and tears have not ceased.

Let this hour be one of deep surrender. Let us offer up not just our memories but our reactions, our bitterness, and our fears. Let us ask Mary to help us forgive, to help us believe again, and to help us feel safe enough to heal. The heart that has been shattered can beat again. The mind that has been tormented can know peace. The soul that has grown numb can be revived in the warmth of God’s merciful love.

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, You are the God who sees behind every smile, who hears every unspoken cry, and who understands the depths of every wounded heart. In this hour, we bring to You the pain that lingers in silence the emotional weight that has become too much to bear. You alone know the full story behind our tears and the reasons behind our fears. We do not hide from You. We come openly and honestly, seeking the healing only You can give.

Through the gentle intercession of Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, we ask You to touch the innermost parts of our souls. May her presence bring comfort where comfort has been absent, and may her prayers lead us to the healing embrace of Your Son. We release to You every memory that still holds power over us and every emotion we struggle to name. Receive it all, O Lord, and restore us in Your mercy.

Prayer

Beloved Mother Mary, Undoer of Knots, I come to you as one who is hurting. I bring you the wounds of my past, the confusion in my present, and the fear I hold about the future. There are places in me that feel broken beyond repair. I have smiled through sorrow, served while silently suffering, and kept walking while bleeding within. But you see all things, Mother. You know what others don’t, and I trust you with the parts of me I can no longer carry alone.

I ask you now to untie the knots of emotional pain within me. Undo the knot of bitterness that has formed from betrayal. Undo the knot of rejection that has led me to question my worth. Undo the knot of shame that has silenced my voice and made me afraid to hope again. Break the patterns of self-doubt, insecurity, and silent anger that have taken root in my soul. Replace them with healing, confidence, and peace.

I place before you, dear Mother, every trauma I have tried to forget, every moment of abuse or neglect, every word spoken over me that left me wounded. Speak truth into those memories. Let your prayers reframe my story. Where I felt alone, remind me that God was there. Where I was blamed, restore my dignity. Where I was abandoned, wrap me now in the embrace of Heaven.

Help me to forgive, even where forgiveness feels impossible. Teach me to release those who hurt me, not to excuse their actions but to free my own heart. Let me no longer be bound by what was done to me. Untie the knots of resentment and let mercy flow. Free me from the need to explain my pain to people who cannot understand, and let me instead rest in the comfort of the One who knows all.

Bring healing to my identity, Mother. I am not my wounds. I am not my trauma. I am not what others said or did. I am a child of God, worthy of love, destined for peace, and chosen for restoration. Help me to walk in that truth. Help me to believe it, feel it, and live from it. Restore my joy. Restore my capacity to love. Restore my hope for relationships that are safe and pure.

Most gentle Mother, undo every knot in my mind and heart that keeps me in cycles of sorrow. May your prayers bring stillness to my racing thoughts and comfort to my troubled soul. Lead me to your Son, the Healer of hearts, and hold me until I am whole again.

Declaration Prayer

I declare that I am no longer a prisoner of emotional wounds. I declare that my heart is being healed by the mercy of Jesus. I declare that every hidden knot of pain is being untied through Mary’s intercession. I declare that my identity is being restored and I am learning to live in truth. I declare that peace is replacing panic, joy is replacing grief, and love is casting out fear. I declare that I will no longer live in silence—I will rise, healed and whole.

Closing Prayer

Lord Jesus, You are the healer of every wounded heart. You did not come only to save our souls but also to restore our minds and bind up our broken spirits. We thank You for the healing that is flowing even now. We may not understand the process, but we trust the One who walks with us through it. You waste nothing not even our pain

and we believe that beauty will rise from these ashes.

Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, thank you for your loving intercession. Stay near us as we continue to heal. Hold us when the process is heavy and remind us that your Son is close to the brokenhearted. Untie every remaining knot and help us to walk in freedom, unafraid, unashamed, and unburdened. Amen.

Day 4: Financial Breakthrough and Debt Freedom

Verse:“And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.” — Philippians 4:19

Reflection

Financial struggles can be some of the most exhausting and humiliating burdens we carry. The constant worry about how to pay bills, provide for loved ones, and meet even the most basic needs can wear down the spirit. Debt becomes a chain that tightens with every passing day, while opportunities feel few and doors remain closed. Many carry silent shame because of their financial condition, feeling unworthy, forgotten, or even cursed. Yet in these moments of difficulty, God reminds us that He is our Provider, our Sustainer, and the One who delights in lifting the poor from the dust.

The knots of financial stress are more than numbers they affect relationships, mental health, and even our ability to serve freely. They cloud our decisions and steal our peace. But these are not knots that we must carry alone. Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, tenderly invites us to place these struggles into her hands. As a mother who watched her Son suffer without comfort or home, she understands lack and sorrow. She is not indifferent to our needs she sees and she responds. She brings our concerns to her Son, who multiplied loaves and coins, who paid temple tax from the mouth of a fish, and who provides without measure.

This hour is sacred. It is an invitation to move from fear to faith. It is not simply a cry for money but a prayer for freedom freedom from anxiety, from shame, from the hopeless cycles of borrowing and never being able to give. It is a prayer for divine wisdom, to steward well what we receive, and for divine breakthrough, to receive what is beyond our efforts. When we give Mary our financial knots, we are not asking for riches we are asking for provision with dignity, for stability with peace, and for enough to fulfill our purpose in God’s kingdom.

Let us pray with confidence, believing that even now, God is releasing favor, opening new channels, and making a way through the desert. And let us trust that through Mary’s hands, our empty jars will be filled.

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, You are the source of all things. You hold the universe in Your hands, and nothing is beyond Your ability to supply. You feed the birds of the air and clothe the lilies of the field how much more do You care for us, Your children? In this hour, we come before You, not to beg, but to believe. We trust that You see the burdens we carry and You desire to provide in ways that are holy, timely, and full of peace.

We turn to Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, asking her to present to You our financial needs, our debts, our unpaid bills, our empty wallets, and our anxious hearts. We invite You, Lord, into our lack. Let Your abundance overflow where we have known scarcity. Let Your wisdom guide us where we have made mistakes. Let this be the hour where things begin to shift, for Your glory and our freedom.

Prayer

Mother Mary, Undoer of Knots, I come before you in this sacred hour with the weight of financial stress pressing upon my shoulders. I lay before you every unpaid debt, every overdue notice, every failed attempt to rise from poverty and lack. I place into your hands the shame I feel when I cannot provide, the fear that grips me when I think of the future, and the despair that tempts me to give up. I cannot carry this alone. I give it to you.

Undo the knots of debt that keep me enslaved. Where I have made poor choices, grant me the wisdom to change. Where I have faced injustice or misfortune, plead my cause before your Son. Where I have lacked guidance, bring me into divine alignment with opportunities that are pure, sustainable, and blessed. Show me how to walk in integrity and diligence, and reward my efforts with your heavenly favor.

I ask you, Mother, to speak to Jesus on my behalf. Let financial doors open where they were once shut. Let divine ideas be released. Let favor locate me. I surrender my career, my business, my job applications, and all pending opportunities to your intercession. Let the right connections come forth and the wrong distractions be removed. Let what is mine find its way to me in peace and confirmation.

Visit, Mother, every place in my life where money has brought pain where friendships were broken, marriages strained, dreams delayed, or dignity lost. Heal those places. Remind me that I am not defined by my bank account but by my identity as a child of God. Teach me to hold faith even when the numbers don’t make sense. Teach me to wait with hope and act with wisdom.

I place before you the knots of worry that steal my sleep and the thoughts of lack that cloud my prayers. Break every curse of financial failure. Cancel every word spoken against my progress. Close every door to unnecessary spending and open new doors to purposeful prosperity. Not just for myself, Lord, but that I may bless others, support the work of the Kingdom, and live in peace.

Above all, I thank you, dear Mother, for not turning away from my need. Thank you for caring enough to carry this to Jesus. I trust that you are working even now, untying the knots I cannot see. May this hour be marked in heaven as the beginning of new provision and lasting breakthrough.

Declaration Prayer

I declare that I am no longer a slave to financial fear. I declare that every debt is being paid and every need is being met. I declare that favor surrounds me like a shield and opportunities are opening for me.I declare that divine ideas, promotions, and provisions are flowing into my life. I declare that my hands are blessed and my household is under divine supply. I declare that through the intercession of Our Lady, I shall live free and fruitful.

Closing Prayer

Lord Jesus, You are the Bread of Life, the Provider of all things. You fed the multitude with little and satisfied every soul. We place our trust in You not in systems or salaries, but in Your unshakable faithfulness. May every need presented in this hour be met according to Your riches in glory.

Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, we thank you for interceding with such compassion. As you untie these financial knots, help us to remain humble, grateful, and generous. Guide our decisions, protect our resources, and keep our eyes on Christ, the true source of all abundance. May peace return where stress once ruled, and may we rise from this hour with a renewed hope that miracles are unfolding. Amen.

Day 5: Victory over Addictions and Spiritual Battles

Verse:“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.” — 2 Corinthians 10:3–4

Reflection

There are battles we fight that go beyond the physical realm. These are spiritual wars hidden, intense, and exhausting. They affect the mind, will, and soul. Addictions, compulsions, recurring sinful habits, depression, and spiritual dryness are all signs that there are knots in the soul that need divine untying. These battles can feel shameful and overwhelming, especially when we’ve tried to break free repeatedly without lasting change. But God does not abandon His children in the heat of the struggle. He sends help. He sends hope. And through the intercession of Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, He sends deliverance.

Addictions do not begin with weakness. Often, they begin with pain a need to escape, to numb, or to feel something again. Spiritual bondage often starts subtly, with compromise, exhaustion, or spiritual neglect. Before we know it, we feel bound by chains we once thought we could control. The good news is that Christ came to break every chain, and Mary, His mother, walks with us through the process of healing and freedom. She is not shocked by our struggle. She is moved with compassion and positioned with power to pray us through to victory.

In this sacred hour, we name our battles. We do not hide our weakness or pretend to be strong. Instead, we surrender everything our cravings, our fears, our spiritual weariness, our hidden sins, and our secret despair. We ask Mary to untie the knots of addiction whether to substances, screens, toxic relationships, unhealthy thoughts, or anything that controls us. We also surrender the spiritual knots: confusion, lukewarm faith, oppression, nightmares, and resistance to prayer. No bondage is greater than the cross. No knot is too tight for Mary’s intercession.

Let us pray with courage, not condemnation. Let us believe in a new beginning. The enemy is defeated, and we are not alone in this fight. Heaven is with us, and Our Lady walks beside us, determined to see us free.

Opening Prayer

Eternal Father, we lift our hearts to You, broken and bruised by battles we cannot fight alone. You see the strongholds that bind us and the addictions that torment us. You see the sins we confess again and again, the habits that drain our strength, and the lies that darken our minds. Yet, You are not a God of condemnation but of mercy. You are not far from the struggle you are near to deliver.

We ask now for the help of Heaven. We call upon Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, to join us in this hour of war. We are not victims we are Your children. And through the powerful name of Jesus and the maternal intercession of Mary, we rise to claim victory. Let every chain be broken and every knot unraveled. Let freedom come where bondage has reigned, and let light break through where darkness has lingered.

Prayer

Mother Mary, Undoer of Knots, I come to you today not as someone perfect, but as someone in need. There are parts of my life I no longer control habits that have grown stronger than my will, thoughts that pull me away from peace, desires that conflict with what is holy. I bring them to you without shame, because I know you do not condemn you comfort, you heal, and you help.

Undo the knots of addiction in my life, dear Mother. Whether it be to substances, pleasures, patterns of sin, or emotional dependencies, I lay them all before you. I am tired of trying to break free on my own. I need your prayers. I need the intervention of Heaven. I surrender my weakness to your strength and ask that you lead me to complete deliverance.

Untie the spiritual knots that keep me from intimacy with God. Where I have grown lukewarm, reignite my fire. Where I have doubted, restore my faith. Where I have fallen, lift me. Break the grip of demonic oppression, night terrors, generational curses, and mental torment. May the Blood of Jesus cover me. May your presence cast out every spirit that is not from God.

I surrender to you my battle with shame. Help me believe that I am not too far gone. Speak truth into my identity. Remind me that I am not what I struggle with I am who God says I am. Let your prayers restore my dignity. Help me to seek the sacraments, to return to confession, and to live again in grace.

Intercede for those around me who are also bound family members, friends, spouses, children. Let the chain-breaking anointing fall upon our homes. Let our atmospheres be cleansed. Let peace enter where torment once ruled. Let joy return where fear once lived. Let your prayers purify our lives from the inside out.

And finally, Mother, keep me close. Teach me to resist temptation. Remind me to call on you in moments of weakness. Walk with me daily, guiding my steps and keeping me under your mantle. I trust that as I pray, the knots are loosening. I believe that deliverance is near. And I know that the power of God, working through your intercession, will not fail me.

Declaration Prayer

I declare that I am no longer a prisoner to addiction. I declare that every stronghold is broken in the name of Jesus. I declare that the Holy Spirit lives in me and is renewing my mind. I declare that I am free, and whom the Son sets free is free indeed. I declare that my body, soul, and spirit are being healed and restored. I declare that through the prayers of Our Lady, every spiritual knot is undone.

Closing Prayer

Lord Jesus, You are the Deliverer, the One who heals the oppressed and sets captives free. We thank You for the power that flows from Your cross, and for the mercy that reaches even into the darkest places. We trust that chains are breaking, minds are renewing, and souls are rising into freedom by Your grace.

Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, continue to fight with us and for us. Cover us under your mantle of protection. Be our refuge in temptation, our shield in warfare, and our guide in the journey toward holiness. May we never lose hope, never give up, and never stop seeking freedom. Amen.

Day 6: Restoration of Broken Relationships

Verse:“Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace.” — Ephesians 4:3

Reflection

Relationships are among the most sacred gifts we are given in life yet they are also among the most fragile. Family ties, friendships, marriages, and even spiritual bonds can be strained, broken, or lost through wounds that often feel irreparable. Words spoken in anger, years of misunderstanding, betrayals that pierce the soul, or silence that grows longer with time all these can knot the strings of our relationships until they feel permanently tangled. Some wounds are so old we barely remember the cause, but the pain remains. And many of us carry this silent ache for reconciliation, connection, and peace.

Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, knows this pain well. She watched her Son suffer betrayal and rejection. She stood beneath the Cross where relationships broke in the most painful of ways. Yet her presence in the upper room at Pentecost also reminds us that she is a mother of unity, healing, and new beginnings. She gathers the scattered, softens hardened hearts, and gently removes the pride, pain, and fear that block restoration. Her maternal heart longs to see God’s children reconciled in love.

In this hour, we bring her the relationships that have fallen apart. We name the people we miss, the wounds we can’t heal alone, and the pride we can’t seem to let go of. We invite her into our homes, our marriages, our friendships, and our communities. We ask her to untie the knots of resentment, miscommunication, jealousy, infidelity, and betrayal. We pray for healing that goes beyond words and for peace that surpasses human logic. The same Jesus who reconciled us to the Father through the Cross can surely mend what has been broken between us and others.

This hour is not only a time of longing it is a time of hope. The Mother of Reconciliation stands with us. Through her intercession, even the most fractured relationship can become a testimony of grace.

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, You created us to live in communion not only with You but with one another. You placed us in families, built us into communities, and gave us the ability to love, forgive, and be loved. But sin has disrupted the harmony You intended. Hurt has replaced trust, distance has replaced closeness, and silence has replaced unity. In this sacred hour, we ask You to intervene. We open our hearts to Your healing touch.

We ask You to send Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, into every broken relationship in our lives. May her gentle prayers bring clarity where there is confusion, comfort where there is sorrow, and reconciliation where there is separation. Soften our hearts. Heal our memories. Restore what only You can restore.

Prayer

Dearest Mother Mary, Undoer of Knots, I bring before you the relationships in my life that are broken, strained, or wounded. I carry the pain of separation, the weight of anger, and the ache of lost connection. Some relationships ended with words that still echo painfully. Others died in silence, with no explanation or closure. And some remain present in my life, but broken in spirit, distant in heart.

Undo the knots of pride, unforgiveness, and bitterness. Where there has been betrayal, sow trust. Where there has been harshness, sow gentleness. Where there has been misunderstanding, sow patience. Take my pain into your hands and offer it to your Son, the Prince of Peace. Let His healing love flow between us like a river, washing away what words cannot fix.

I place into your hands my marriage, my family, my friendships, my workplace connections, and even the relationships within the Church. For every place where conflict reigns, let grace now enter. For every bond that has grown cold, rekindle warmth and affection. For every silent treatment, release a word of peace. For every fear of rejection, pour courage to reach out.

Help me, Mother, to forgive. Even when the other person does not apologize. Even when I am still hurting. Even when they seem unaware of the damage done. I cannot do this on my own. Teach me to let go, not for their sake alone, but for mine so that I may live free, without resentment or bitterness. Let your intercession purify my intentions, soften my speech, and guide me in wisdom when the time comes to reconcile.

I surrender the timing and the outcome to you. I don’t ask for things to return to what they were I ask for them to become what they were always meant to be. Whether reconciliation comes quickly or slowly, let peace grow in my heart now. Let me not waste my days rehearsing old wounds but use them as seeds for mercy. May those who are distant today become brothers and sisters again, by the power of love and the grace of God.

Thank you, dear Mother, for never giving up on what seems impossible. Thank you for standing in the gap for relationships I no longer know how to fix. I trust that as you untie these knots, healing will come not just for me, but for generations to come.

Declaration Prayer

I declare that broken relationships in my life are being restored. I declare that hearts are softening and forgiveness is flowing. I declare that the love of Christ is rebuilding what was torn. I declare that pride and bitterness no longer have a place in my soul. I declare that healing is possible, peace is near, and grace is greater than any pain. I declare that through the intercession of Our Lady, reconciliation is beginning even now.

Closing Prayer

Lord Jesus, You are the restorer of all things. You reconciled the world to Yourself through love and forgiveness. We trust that no division is too great for Your mercy to mend. We thank You for hearing our prayers and for beginning a work of reconciliation even now, both in our hearts and in the hearts of others.

Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, continue to untie what we cannot. Walk with us as we take small steps toward healing. Give us the humility to seek peace, the courage to ask forgiveness, and the grace to accept those who return. May the relationships healed through your intercession become living testimonies of God’s redeeming power. Amen.

Day 7: Deliverance from Confusion and Mental Oppression

Verse:“For God is not the author of confusion but of peace.” — 1 Corinthians 14:33

Reflection

There are times when the mind feels like a battlefield thoughts racing, peace elusive, and clarity a distant hope. Confusion can be deeply tormenting, often paralyzing us from making decisions or trusting the path ahead. Mental oppression is real. It can come through fear, anxiety, chronic stress, spiritual warfare, or traumatic experiences that leave the soul unsettled. The knots of mental heaviness often wrap tightly around us, draining strength and dimming joy. In such moments, the enemy uses confusion to isolate us from others and from God. But even in the storm of the mind, Jesus is present, and Our Lady is near.

Mary, Undoer of Knots, knows what it means to carry a mystery and not have all the answers. She heard the prophetic words of Simeon that a sword would pierce her soul. She fled with Joseph and Jesus in the middle of the night, unsure of what awaited them. She stood beneath the Cross, watching her Son die, unable to fully grasp the plan of salvation unfolding before her eyes. And yet, in all this, she never succumbed to fear or despair. Her heart remained fixed on God. Her faith was steady. She trusted even in the silence. Because of this, she stands with us now, praying for peace where our minds are troubled.

This hour is for those feeling lost in a fog of indecision, fear, or mental exhaustion. It is for those who are overwhelmed by thoughts that do not bring peace thoughts of failure, doom, confusion, or despair. It is also for those in silent battles with depression, discouragement, and emotional fatigue. The mind is not meant to carry such weight. God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. Through the intercession of Our Lady, that promise is reclaimed.

Let us pray for the lifting of every mental knot. Let us release the noise and invite divine stillness. As Mary unties the cords of confusion, may the light of Christ flood our thoughts, calm our fears, and renew our clarity.

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, You are the God of clarity, wisdom, and peace. You do not speak in chaos or leave us lost in confusion. You are the light that guides our path and the voice that stills the storm. In this hour, we turn to You with weary minds and restless hearts. We ask You to restore peace where there has been torment, and to give direction where there has been uncertainty.

We invoke the help of Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, to stand with us in this hour of mental battle. Let her prayers be as oil upon troubled waters. Let every thought that does not come from You be silenced. Let her motherly presence surround us with stillness as she intercedes for clarity, peace, and a renewed mind.

Prayer

Beloved Mother Mary, Undoer of Knots, I come before you with a mind that is weary, clouded, and filled with unrest. There are too many voices, too many fears, too many unanswered questions that swirl through my thoughts. I feel trapped in loops of worry, guilt, regret, and uncertainty. I long for peace, but my thoughts keep racing. I ask you now to untie these knots of confusion and mental oppression that bind me.

Where fear has taken root, replace it with the peace of Christ. Where doubt has grown, plant seeds of faith. Where anxiety has taken hold, release divine calm. I surrender to you my thoughts, my decisions, my struggles to understand, and every place in my mind that feels dark or overwhelmed. Let the light of your Son shine there now.

Untie the knot of mental exhaustion. Renew my energy. Restore my ability to focus and to pray with clarity. Help me rest in God’s will, even when I do not see the full picture. Mother, I surrender the need to control or figure everything out. Teach me to be still. Teach me to wait in trust. Remind me that God is never confused, and as I stay close to Him, I too will walk in His peace.

I ask you to intercede for me where I have battled emotional heaviness, depression, and despair. Where hope has dimmed, reignite it. Where joy has been drained, pour it back in. Wrap your mantle around my mind, Mother, and shield me from the attacks of the enemy. Guard my thoughts from lies, distortions, and unhealthy patterns. Let the Blood of Jesus cover my memory, imagination, and inner world.

I lift up to you the decisions I need to make. Show me what is from God and what is not. Help me hear His voice above all others. Bring divine confirmation to the steps I take, and help me to move forward with confidence. Give me discernment, wisdom, and holy counsel. I renounce confusion and receive divine order in every area of my life.

Thank you, Mother, for not turning away from my mental struggle. You do not see me as weak but as one worth fighting for. I trust that even now, as I pray, the knots are loosening. My mind is being renewed, and my soul is being calmed. Stay near, dear Lady, and keep interceding until full peace is restored.

Declaration Prayer

I declare that my mind is not a battlefield it is a sanctuary of peace. I declare that confusion has no hold on me, for God gives me clarity and truth. I declare that fear, anxiety, and torment are broken by the power of Christ. I declare that my thoughts are ordered, my decisions are guided, and my heart is at rest. I declare that the Spirit of God within me is stronger than any lie or darkness. I declare that through the intercession of Our Lady, my mind is whole and free.

Closing Prayer

Lord Jesus, Prince of Peace, we thank You for the renewal of our minds and the quieting of our spirits. You have promised us peace that surpasses understanding, and we now receive it with open hearts. Let Your Spirit dwell richly in our thoughts and choices, and lead us beside still waters.

Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, thank you for your prayers in this hour. Continue to stand between us and every attack against our minds. As you untie each knot, may we grow in clarity, wisdom, and peace. May our minds be instruments of praise, our thoughts filled with light, and our lives governed by God’s perfect will. Amen.

Day 8: Hope for the Hopeless and Strength for the Weary

Verse:“Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” — Isaiah 40:30–31

Reflection

There are moments in life when hope feels distant when the burdens we carry are too heavy, the prayers we offer feel unanswered, and the road ahead appears dark and uncertain. Hopelessness does not always arrive loudly; often it creeps in gradually through delays, disappointments, betrayals, and long seasons of waiting. We begin to lose confidence in the future. Fatigue sets in, not only in the body, but in the heart and spirit. In these hours, many silently cry out for strength to simply keep going. They look for a reason to hold on, to believe again, and to rise one more time.

Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, is a companion to the weary and a mother to the hopeless. She is not only the Virgin most powerful, but also the Mother most tender. She stands at the foot of our crosses, silent yet strong, gazing upon our suffering with understanding and compassion. She does not turn away from pain she steps into it with us. Through her intercession, the weary are lifted, and the hopeless are renewed with purpose and courage. Her presence is not loud, but it is steady, sure, and healing.

This hour is for those at the edge of giving up. It is for those who are holding on by a thread, whose hearts are exhausted from waiting, striving, or grieving. It is for those who feel forgotten, passed over, or broken beyond repair. But there is hope. There is always hope. Even when we cannot see it, hope is present in the promises of God and in the prayers of His saints. Our Lady invites us to place into her hands every fear, every disappointment, and every unanswered prayer. She reminds us that no night lasts forever, and that even in silence, God is working behind the scenes.

Let this be the hour where hope rises again not from emotion, but from faith. Not from what we see, but from Who we believe in. The same God who raised His Son from the tomb will lift us from despair. And the same Mother who waited through Holy Saturday will stand with us now.

Opening Prayer

Father in Heaven, we come to You in our weariness. We come as those who have labored and longed, prayed and waited, cried and believed yet still feel the weight of emptiness and silence. You are the God who strengthens the weak and lifts up the broken. In this hour, we ask You to breathe new life into us. Restore what is fading, and rekindle what is almost extinguished.

We invite Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, into the places where we feel lost. Let her prayers carry us into the heart of hope. May her presence restore light where darkness has lingered. May her compassion be a healing balm for tired souls. Through her intercession, help us to rise again, to believe again, and to keep moving forward with renewed strength.

Prayer

Mother Mary, Undoer of Knots, I bring to you now the heaviness in my heart. There are knots of discouragement that have tightened with time. I have prayed and waited, hoped and tried, but the answers have not yet come. My soul is tired. My strength is nearly gone. I feel alone in this fight, and the silence has begun to crush my spirit. I hand all of this over to you.

Untie the knots of hopelessness that have wrapped around my mind. Help me believe again not because I see change, but because I know that God is faithful. Speak truth to the lies that tell me I am forgotten. Remind me that delay is not denial, and silence is not abandonment. Help me to wait with courage and not despair.

Mother, you know what it means to hope against all odds. You watched promises unfold slowly, through mystery and sorrow. You saw darkness, yet never stopped trusting. I ask you now to walk beside me in this hour of exhaustion. Take my hand and hold it firmly. Let your presence remind me that I am not alone and that this trial will not be the end of my story.

Where my strength has run out, intercede for a divine renewal. Let the Spirit of God breathe new energy into my body and soul. Lift my gaze from the dust and help me see the light that still shines ahead. Where grief has dimmed my spirit, pour your comfort. Where anxiety has drained me, bring peace. Where disappointment has silenced my joy, restore my song.

I surrender the pressure to be strong on my own. I surrender the fear that things will never change. I surrender the lie that my efforts are in vain. Into your hands, dear Mother, I place the weight of my heart. Carry it to your Son. Let His love resound in the places that feel forgotten. Let His promises awaken in my soul again.

Thank you for not growing weary of praying for me. Thank you for bending down to lift the ones who feel too weak to rise. I trust that through your prayers, new strength is coming, new hope is dawning, and the knots that have long bound my heart are being gently undone.

Declaration Prayer

I declare that I am not forgotten—God sees me and is working for my good. I declare that I will rise again, not by my own strength, but by divine grace. I declare that hopelessness is broken and joy is returning to my heart. I declare that this delay is not the end, and my testimony is being written. I declare that my soul will rest in peace, for my help comes from the Lord. I declare that through the intercession of Our Lady, new hope is being born within me.

Closing Prayer

Lord Jesus, You are the anchor of our souls and the lifter of our heads. We thank You for meeting us in our lowest places and for renewing our strength when we thought we had none left. We praise You for the hope that does not disappoint and the promise that endures through every storm.

Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, we thank you for standing with us in this hour. Continue to untie the cords of despair. Be our shelter when the journey grows long. Teach us to wait with faith, to walk with endurance, and to cling to hope even when nothing makes sense. May this be the hour where despair ends and hope begins anew. Amen.

Day 9: Healing of the Sick

Verse:“But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed.” — Isaiah 53:5

Reflection

Sickness comes in many forms physical pain, chronic illness, terminal diagnoses, and unseen afflictions that weigh on the heart and spirit. Whether we experience it ourselves or watch someone we love suffer, sickness tests our strength, our faith, and sometimes even our will to hope. It can feel like a knot tightening over time a slow, suffocating grip that affects every aspect of life. Long nights in hospital rooms, countless medications, unending fatigue, and waiting for results can leave the soul tired and discouraged.

But in the midst of illness, God remains our Healer. He is not distant from our pain. He wept at Lazarus' tomb. He touched lepers. He restored sight, lifted the paralyzed, and spoke life where there was death. And through His cross, He bore our sorrows and carried our infirmities. Healing may come in many ways instantly, progressively, or eternally but God always moves in love. And Mary, as the compassionate Mother of the suffering, stands close to the sick and those who care for them.

In this hour, we entrust the sick into the hands of Our Lady, Undoer of Knots. She walks the hospital corridors in prayer. She visits the lonely, comforts the caregivers, and lifts the broken-hearted. She knows the pain of watching a loved one suffer and the strength it takes to keep believing when the body weakens. We ask her to present our petitions before her Son, the Divine Physician, and to untie the knots of fear, despair, delayed healing, misdiagnosis, and medical hardship.

Let this be the hour where healing flows—where faith rises again, and where the peace of God visits every heart and every bed of pain. For with God, all things are possible.

Opening Prayer

Lord of Life and God of all compassion, we come before You in this sacred hour on behalf of the sick. You formed our bodies in love and breathed life into us. You know our wounds, our conditions, and every cell within us. You see the suffering that medicine cannot always reach. You are our refuge in weakness and our strength in affliction. We ask for Your healing touch.

We invoke the intercession of Our Lady, Undoer of Knots. May she carry our cries to Your throne and gently unravel every knot of illness that afflicts us or our loved ones. May her maternal love be a source of hope for those lying on hospital beds, those receiving treatments, those battling pain in silence, and those preparing for surgery or facing uncertainty. Lord, stretch out Your healing hand, and through Mary’s prayer, bring relief and restoration.

Prayer

Mother Mary, Undoer of Knots, I come to you with the weight of sickness in my life or in the life of someone I love. Whether it is a lingering condition, a sudden diagnosis, or unexplained pain, I surrender it now into your hands. These knots have brought fear, worry, exhaustion, and sorrow. We do not understand the reasons behind every suffering, but we choose to trust in your prayers and your maternal care.

Untie the knots of physical affliction, chronic illness, and life-threatening disease. Present these needs to your Son, the Divine Healer, who walked among the sick and never turned away from their cries. Let healing flow where doctors have found no cure. Let comfort visit where pain has been long endured. Let strength return where weakness has reigned. And where healing must still wait, bring deep peace and divine endurance.

I lift up the hospitals and wards, the homes and nursing facilities, the places where people wait and hope. Visit them, Mother. Bring consolation to the weary, joy to the discouraged, and light to those in dark valleys. Be present with caregivers, nurses, doctors, and family members who pour out their strength day after day. Give them the grace to continue in love, and replenish what has been poured out.

Mother, I pray for those who suffer in silence those who smile while hiding their pain, those whose illnesses are misunderstood, and those who are afraid to ask for help. Intercede for their courage. Break the knots of isolation. Lead them to people who will walk with them, and remind them that God has not abandoned them.

If healing must come gradually, help us wait in faith. If healing comes through medical hands, bless every medicine, every treatment, every surgery. If healing will come through acceptance and surrender, grant us the grace to trust the journey. And if healing will come only in eternity, may we still live every day in peace, praising God for His presence and promise.

Thank you, dear Mother, for never leaving the bedside of the suffering. Thank you for bending low to lift those in pain. I believe that through your intercession, healing is at work, peace is entering, and strength is being renewed. May your Son be glorified through every healing, every prayer, and every act of love born from this hour.

Declaration Prayer

I declare that the healing power of Jesus is working in my body and soul. I declare that sickness is not my portion—God’s mercy is.I declare that every knot of disease, pain, and weakness is being undone. I declare that I will rise again with strength and vitality in God’s perfect time. I declare that fear and despair are broken, and hope is alive in me.I declare that through the intercession of Our Lady, restoration is near

.

Closing Prayer

Jesus, our Divine Physician, thank You for being close to the broken and the sick. Thank You for hearing every cry, collecting every tear, and being near in every moment of pain. We trust that You are healing bodies, calming hearts, and making all things new.

Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, thank you for your faithful intercession. Remain near those who suffer. Walk with them as a loving Mother. Untie every knot of affliction and bring peace to every troubled soul. May healing flow like a river, and may every testimony bring glory to God. Amen.

THANKSGIVING AFTER THE HOURLY NOVENA TO OUR LADY, UNDOER OF KNOTS

I give thanks to God, the Father of all mercy, for the grace, strength, and presence He has poured out upon us during this powerful Hourly Novena. From the very first hour to the last, He has walked with us healing the sick, restoring peace, renewing hope, and loosening the knots that have bound our lives for far too long. What a faithful God we serve.

I thank Our Lady, Undoer of Knots, for her constant intercession. Like a gentle mother, she has carried our intentions to her Son. She has stood with us in every moment of pain, confusion, and need. I believe she is still untying knots even now silently, lovingly, patiently because her heart never tires of praying for us.

I thank all who joined in this novena hour by hour, intention by intention, even from afar. Your prayers, your faith, your tears, and your hope have created a sacred offering before the Lord. Together we have planted seeds of healing, freedom, and breakthrough. We may not see all the answers yet, but I believe testimonies will follow this offering of prayer.

To those who sent in their intentions: know that you were not forgotten. Each request was lifted in prayer and wrapped in the love of our Blessed Mother. And to those still waiting for an answer, do not lose hope God is never late. He is working in ways seen and unseen, and what He has begun, He will surely complete.

Today, I rejoice in faith for what God has done, what He is doing, and what He will yet do. I give Him glory for every healing, every restored relationship, every breakthrough, and every moment of peace experienced during this novena. I seal this day with praise and surrender the rest into His perfect hands.

To God be the glory. To Mary, our Mother, all love and honor. Let us go forth with faith, for the knots are being undone, and grace has already begun to unfold.
