Control

We understand your deep distress and the sense of being manipulated or controlled by others, and we join you in lifting this burden to the Lord. It is heartbreaking to feel betrayed, especially by those who should be trustworthy, such as family. Let us first address the spiritual foundation of your request, as it is critical to approach God through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can be saved or through which our prayers are heard by the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for He alone is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6). Without faith in Him, our prayers lack the power and authority that come through His name.
Now, let us turn to the matter of control and deception. The Bible warns us that the schemes of the wicked will ultimately be exposed, for *"Be sure your sin will find you out"* (Numbers 32:23, WEB). Those who seek to manipulate or deceive will not escape the justice of God, though it may tarry for a time. Proverbs 26:27 reminds us, *"Whoever digs a pit shall fall into it. Whoever rolls a stone, it will come back on him."* Trust that the Lord sees all things, and He will act in His perfect timing. Your role is to remain faithful, seek His will, and refrain from bitterness or retaliation. Romans 12:19 instructs us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.'"*
We also sense deep pain in your mention of your daughter and her father. If there has been deception or manipulation within your family, it is a grievous sin that must be addressed with truth and grace. Ephesians 4:25 commands, *"Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another."* If your daughter’s father has toyed with your emotions or led you to believe falsehoods, this is not of God. Marriage is a sacred covenant before the Lord, and any relationship outside of that covenant—whether through deception, adultery, or broken promises—is an affront to His design. If you are not married to your daughter’s father, we urge you to seek godly counsel on how to navigate this situation in a way that honors the Lord. If fornication or adultery has taken place, it must be repented of, for *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, ... will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9, WEB).
As for your daughter’s skepticism about your plans, it is important to seek wisdom and discernment. Proverbs 3:5-6 advises, *"Trust in the Lord 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."* If your plans align with God’s will, He will make a way. If they do not, He will redirect you. Pray for clarity and unity within your family, asking the Lord to soften hearts and open eyes to His truth.
Let us pray together for your situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who feels trapped under the weight of control and deception. Lord, You see the hearts of all people, and nothing is hidden from Your sight. We ask that You expose every scheme of the enemy and bring to light the deeds done in darkness. Let those who seek to manipulate or harm be caught in their own snares, and may Your justice prevail. Father, we pray for protection over this family—over this mother and her daughter. Shield them from further harm and surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we ask for healing in this family. If there has been sin—whether through deception, broken relationships, or immorality—we pray for conviction and repentance. Soften the hearts of those who have strayed, and bring them to a place of truth and restoration. Father, we lift up this daughter, that she may see Your hand at work and trust in Your plans. Remove any skepticism or fear, and replace it with faith in Your sovereignty.
We pray for wisdom and discernment for our sister as she navigates this difficult season. Guide her steps, Lord, and make Your will clear. If there are plans that are not aligned with Your purpose, redirect her. If there are doors You want to open, make the way plain. Let her trust in You wholeheartedly, knowing that You are her defender and provider.
Finally, Father, we rebuke the spirit of control and manipulation in the name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Let Your truth prevail, and let Your peace reign in their hearts. We ask all these things in the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily through prayer and His Word. Surround yourself with a community of believers who can offer godly counsel and support. If there are specific sins that need to be addressed—such as fornication, adultery, or deception—we urge you to repent and turn to the Lord for forgiveness and healing. He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Stay steadfast in your faith, and trust that the Lord will bring justice and restoration in His perfect timing.

We're here with you, sister, feeling your frustration and the weight of control you're under.

We've been praying for you, asking God to expose any hidden schemes and protect you and your daughter. We're also praying for healing and restoration in your family, that any broken relationships or sin would be brought to light and dealt with in truth and grace. We're asking God to give you wisdom and discernment, to guide your steps and make His will clear. Trust in Him, sister, He's got this. Keep seeking Him daily, and surround yourself with a supportive community of believers. We're here for you, praying with you, and believing in God's goodness and justice.

Be a Prayer Warrior: “Praying for others”
We want to thank you for allowing us the sacred honor of lifting your heartfelt request before the Lord these past several days. The burden you carry for justice and truth to prevail in this situation weighs heavily, and we have been earnestly praying for God’s mighty hand to intervene—exposing what is hidden, thwarting the schemes of those who seek to control, and making a way where there seems to be no way. Your faith in asking for a miracle, even when hope feels dim, is a testament to your trust in a God who specializes in the impossible.
We know the waiting can be agonizing, especially when the enemy whispers doubt through the words of others, even those as close as a daughter. But we stand firm with you in declaring that our God is not bound by human logic or the limitations others may place on Him. He is the God who parts seas, topples giants, and turns the hearts of kings—including those who believe they hold the power in your situation. We continue to pray for supernatural intervention, that every plan formed against you would be brought to light and rendered powerless, and that the truth would prevail in a way that leaves no room for doubt.
If the Lord has already begun to move in this—whether through small confirmations, shifted circumstances, or a full breakthrough—we would love for you to share a praise report with us. Your testimony could be the very encouragement someone else needs to keep believing for their own miracle. And if the battle still rages and the answer hasn’t yet come, we urge you to post this request again as a fresh cry for help. We are here to keep standing in the gap with you, to keep declaring God’s promises over your life, and to remind you that you are not forgotten by Him.
In the meantime, we pray that the Lord would guard your heart against discouragement and fill you with His peace that surpasses understanding. May He strengthen your faith, unite you with those who will speak life over this situation, and remind you that He sees every injustice and holds every outcome in His hands. Do not lose heart, dear sister or brother—our God is faithful, and He will fight for you.
We are believing with you for a mighty testimony of His power and provision. Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and keep holding on to the truth that nothing is impossible with God.
