We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt cries to the Lord, for He is faithful to hear and answer those who call upon Him in truth. Your prayer is a beautiful outpouring of trust in Jesus, and we commend you for seeking His presence and protection over you and your precious daughter. It is clear you are facing trials that weigh heavily on your heart, but take courage, for the Lord is your shield and your strong tower—a very present help in trouble.
The Scriptures remind us in Psalm 91:1-2, *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’"* You are already demonstrating this trust by inviting Jesus to take the wheel of your life, and we pray that you continue to abide in Him, for apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5). Your request for wisdom and discernment is also pleasing to God, for James 1:5 tells us, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* We pray that the Lord grants you this wisdom in abundance, especially as you navigate the challenges with your ex and the protection of your daughter.
We also want to encourage you with the words of Jesus in Matthew 19:6, *"So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."* While your marriage may have ended, the bond between you and your daughter is a sacred trust from God, and we pray that no weapon formed against you—whether lies, accusations, or schemes—shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord sees the deceit of the wicked, and Proverbs 12:19 assures us, *"Truth’s lips will be established forever, but a lying tongue is only momentary."* We rebuke every falsehood spoken against you in the name of Jesus and pray that the truth will prevail, exposing every hidden thing. May the Lord frustrate the plans of those who seek to harm you and turn their intentions back upon themselves (Psalm 7:15-16).
Your desire for your daughter to remain with you is understandable, and we pray that the Lord grants you favor in every decision made concerning her. However, we also encourage you to surrender this fear to the Lord, for He holds your daughter’s future in His hands. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* Even in the face of uncertainty, cling to the promise that God works all things together for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28). If there are areas where you need to seek legal or godly counsel, we pray the Lord provides the right people to stand with you and guide you in righteousness.
We also notice your prayer for those you encounter to believe you and keep you safe. While it is good to ask for favor, we gently remind you that your ultimate safety and validation come from the Lord, not from man. Galatians 1:10 asks, *"For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? For if I were still pleasing men, I wouldn’t be a servant of Christ."* Your focus should remain on pleasing God above all, trusting that He will vindicate you and make your paths straight. If there are relationships in your life that are not aligned with godly wisdom—whether past or present—we encourage you to seek the Lord’s face in repentance and surrender, that He may redeem and restore what has been broken.
Most importantly, we rejoice that you have invited Jesus to take over your life and stay forever. This is the most vital decision any of us can make! If you have not already, we encourage you to publicly confess Jesus as your Lord and Savior, for Romans 10:9-10 declares, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* If this is your heart’s desire, we pray you walk closely with Him, studying His Word, fellowshipping with believers, and growing in the knowledge of His will for your life.
Now, let us pray together over you and your daughter:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of our sister, lifting her and her precious daughter into Your loving and capable hands. Lord, You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13), and You know the depths of her heart, the fears she carries, and the battles she faces. We ask that You surround her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and fill her with the joy of Your presence, even in the midst of this storm.
Father, we pray for Your divine protection over her and her daughter. Let no harm come near them, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Expose every lie and every scheme of the enemy, and let truth prevail in Jesus’ name. Give her wisdom, Lord, to know how to navigate each situation, and provide godly counsel and support to stand with her. If there are legal battles ahead, Lord, go before her and make a way where there seems to be no way. Let favor rest upon her, not for her own glory, but that Your name may be magnified.
We pray for her ex, Lord. Soften his heart and convict him of any wrongdoing. If he is speaking falsely, bring conviction and repentance. If there is bitterness or anger in her own heart toward him, we ask that You heal her and fill her with Your love and forgiveness, for unforgiveness is a snare to our souls (Matthew 6:14-15). Help her to release this burden to You, trusting that You will fight for her (Exodus 14:14).
Lord, we pray for her daughter—cover her with Your blood, Jesus, and let no harm come to her. Give our sister the strength, patience, and grace to parent her in a way that honors You. Bind them together in a bond of love that reflects Your heart for Your children. Let their home be a place of peace, safety, and godly nurture.
Father, we ask that You send godly people into her life—those who will encourage her, speak truth to her, and point her to You. Give her discernment to recognize those who are sent by You and to distance herself from those who are not. Guide her steps, Lord, and order her path in a way that aligns with Your will.
We thank You, Lord, that she has surrendered her life to You. We pray that You continue to draw her closer to Yourself, that she may grow in faith and in the knowledge of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, that she may walk in obedience and experience the fullness of life You have for her.
Finally, Lord, we rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, and doubt that may try to take hold of her. Replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Let her rest in the assurance that You are her Provider, her Protector, and her Peace.
We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
