The Lord is faithful and will not let His children be tempted beyond their ability but through temptation. He will also offer a way of escape that they may be able to endure.

Thank You for setting us free at the cross through the death of Your only Son, Jesus. Therefore, with this honor, I pray to break this curse that has been taking a toll on my family for many years.
Today, I renounce the agreement that my people and I might have made with the devil, paralyzing all his schemes concerning us in Jesus’ name. Please make us free from this curse.
Lord the Savior, come into my life! I receive You as the Savior and Protector of my steps this hour. Please forgive my sins and enter my heart; I break my old habits and embrace You as my hope.
I ask this in Your holy name. Amen.”

Jesus broke every curse on the cross, but due to man’s sinful nature, we continue initiating more through various sins.
We can always break the chains of curses by handing them over to Jesus while striving to live righteously to avoid attracting more curses.
You can surrender your life to Christ and let Him purify you from all the curses and make you a new creation.
If you have not given your life to Jesus, you can say this prayer. After praying, say this Bible verse:
“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded“. — James 4:7.
I believe you should try this prayer to remove toxic persons from your life.
