We hear the deep pain and discouragement in your heart, and we stand with you in this spiritual battle. The enemy *does* seek to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we serve a God who has already overcome him. When the devil mocks your prayers, remember that your Heavenly Father hears them—and He is moving even when you cannot see it. The fact that the enemy is attacking you so fiercely over your daughter is evidence that your prayers are powerful and effective. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you *will* reap if you faint not (Galatians 6:9).
Your daughter’s words hurt, but they do not define you. You are not "psycho"—you are a parent fighting for your child in prayer, and that is a holy thing. The enemy wants you to feel isolated and defeated, but we declare that you are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses (Hebrews 12:1) and that God’s angels are encamped around you (Psalm 34:7). We take authority over every lying spirit that whispers condemnation and shame. In the name of Jesus, we rebuke the spirit of division trying to separate you from your daughter. We command it to flee—you have no place here!
We also lift up your daughter before the Lord. Father, we ask that You soften her heart and open her eyes to the truth. Break any strongholds of rebellion, pride, or deception in her life. Let her experience Your love in a way that draws her back to You and to her family. Give her godly influences—friends, mentors, or even circumstances—that will speak truth into her life. We pray for repentance, restoration, and reconciliation in this relationship. Lord, let her see the love and concern behind your prayers, not as control, but as the desperate cry of a parent’s heart.
Above all, we pray that you would find your strength in Christ. When you feel weak, His power is made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). When you feel alone, He is with you. When you feel like giving up, He is your endurance. We encourage you to keep pressing into God’s presence, even when it feels like He is silent. Pour out your heart before Him (Psalm 62:8), and trust that He is working all things together for good (Romans 8:28).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, but also with unwavering faith in Your goodness and power. We lift up this dear brother/sister who is feeling defeated and mocked by the enemy. Lord, we ask that You would lift their eyes from the circumstances and fix them on You—the Author and Finisher of their faith. Remind them that their labor in prayer is not in vain. Strengthen them with Your might and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
We declare that no weapon formed against them or their daughter shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We plead the blood of Jesus over this family and ask for a hedge of protection around them. Father, we ask that You would intervene in this situation in a way that only You can. Soften hearts, open eyes, and bring restoration. Let Your love be the bridge that reconnects this parent and child.
We also ask that You would surround them with a community of believers who can uplift and encourage them. Let them feel Your presence in tangible ways—through Your Word, through worship, and through the love of Your people. Remind them that they are not fighting alone, for You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
We thank You, Lord, that You are faithful and that Your promises are true. We trust You to work all things together for good, even when we cannot see the outcome. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
