Disciple of Prayer
I'm asking for prayer for either my daughter to move out or start paying rent. We don't want to kick her out and want to support her with all that she needs, but it's been 2 years since she's graduated high school, has worked for over a year and a half making $45k/yr, and does not help out with either rent or groceries. She lives at home full time and we provide her all her necessities and always have food available to her. It's really starting to bother me because I feel she's taking advantage of us and has started to become even more inconsiderate. She doesn't have any chores and doesn't acknowledge any family members' birthdays or special events. I don't know what to do without upsetting her and causing a fight. I pray for my husband, her dad, to speak up and see the imbalance of our current household. I ask his eyes are opened to see that we are being taken for granted and ask her to either pay rent or move out. I can't do this anymore. I'm tired of cleaning up after her and working full time to take care of a household of now 3 adults (where only 2 pay for everything) and my other 2 boys that are still in school. Amen
 
We understand your concern and frustration, and we are here to support you in prayer and guidance through this challenging situation. It is important to approach this matter with love, wisdom, and a firm foundation in biblical principles.

Firstly, let us remind you of the importance of teaching responsibility and accountability. In 2 Thessalonians 3:10, the Apostle Paul writes, "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 'If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.'" While this verse speaks to the context of the church, the principle applies to our families as well. We are called to encourage responsibility and diligence in our children.

Additionally, Proverbs 22:6 instructs us, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." It is never too late to instill godly principles and values in our children, even as they transition into adulthood.

We also encourage you to consider the words of Ephesians 6:4, "You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." As parents, we must strive to guide our children with love, patience, and wisdom, always seeking to honor God in our actions and decisions.

Now, let us pray together for your daughter, your husband, and your family:

Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up this family and their needs. Lord, we ask that You open the eyes and hearts of both the parents and their daughter, that they may see the importance of responsibility, accountability, and gratitude.

We pray that You grant the mother wisdom and strength as she navigates this challenging situation. May she find the right words to speak to her daughter, words that convey love, concern, and the need for change. Lord, we ask that You soften the daughter's heart, that she may be receptive to her mother's guidance and willing to take on her fair share of responsibilities within the household.

Father, we also lift up the husband and father, asking that You open his eyes to the imbalance within the household. Grant him the courage to speak up and address this situation with love and wisdom. May he and his wife be united in their approach, presenting a strong and loving front to their daughter.

Lord, we ask that You help the daughter understand the value of hard work, responsibility, and gratitude. May she come to appreciate the efforts of her parents and be willing to contribute to the household, either through financial support or by moving out and establishing her own independent life.

Finally, Father, we pray that You bring unity, love, and understanding to this family. May they work together to create a harmonious and godly home, where each member contributes and supports one another. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

As you move forward, we encourage you to have an open and honest conversation with your daughter, expressing your love and concern for her well-being and growth. Be clear about your expectations and the changes you would like to see. Approach this conversation with a united front alongside your husband, demonstrating your shared commitment to her development and the harmony of your household.

May God grant you wisdom, strength, and unity as you navigate this challenging situation. Trust in His guidance and provision, and remember that He is always with you, supporting and encouraging you every step of the way.
 
We've been praying for you and your family, and we feel your frustration. We understand that it's hard to see our children, even grown ones, struggle or take advantage of our love and support. But remember, tough love is sometimes necessary for their growth. In Luke 15:11-32, the prodigal son had to hit rock bottom before he realized his mistakes and returned home. We're praying that your daughter comes to this realization soon.

We ask that you both, as parents, approach this situation with love, patience, and firmness. It's time to have an open and honest conversation with your daughter. Be clear about your expectations and the changes you'd like to see. Make it known that you love and support her, but that she needs to take responsibility for her actions. This might be tough, but it's necessary for her growth and the harmony of your household.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up this family. Lord, we ask that You open our daughter's eyes to see the importance of responsibility, accountability, and gratitude. Help her understand the value of hard work and the love and support her parents have for her. Give her the courage to take on her fair share of responsibilities within the household.

Father, we also ask that You grant her parents wisdom and strength as they navigate this challenging situation. Help them find the right words to speak to their daughter, words that convey love, concern, and the need for change. Help them approach this conversation with a united front, demonstrating their shared commitment to her development and the harmony of their household.

Lord, we pray that You bring unity, love, and understanding to this family. Help them work together to create a harmonious and godly home, where each member contributes and supports one another. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."

We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting your family before the Lord in prayer these past few days. It is a sacred privilege to stand with you in this season, asking God for wisdom, unity, and His perfect will in your household. We know how deeply this situation weighs on your heart, and we have been praying earnestly for softness—for your daughter’s heart to be open to responsibility and gratitude, for your husband to find the right words and courage to address this imbalance, and for you to be filled with supernatural strength and peace as you carry this burden.

We understand how exhausting it must feel to pour out so much without seeing change, and we’ve asked the Lord to renew your spirit and grant you patience as you wait on Him. If He has already begun to move in this situation—whether through a conversation, a shift in your daughter’s attitude, or clarity for you and your husband—we would love to rejoice with you. Please share a praise report so we can give God the glory together.

If this struggle remains unresolved, we want you to know we are still here, still praying, and still believing for breakthrough. Sometimes these battles are fought in stages, and we don’t want you to walk through it alone. Feel free to post an update or a new request, and we will continue to intercede with you, trusting that the Lord is working even when we can’t yet see it.

May God grant you rest in the midst of this storm and remind you daily that He sees your faithfulness. We are asking Him to bind your family together in love while also bringing conviction where it’s needed. You are not failing as a parent—you are seeking God’s best, and that is a beautiful thing. Keep trusting Him, even when the path forward isn’t clear.

We are praying for you in Jesus Name.
