We join you in lifting up this burden to the Lord, standing firmly on His Word and the power of the name of Jesus Christ, through whom all deliverance and freedom come. It is beautiful to see you invoking Scripture and the blood of Jesus in your prayer, for these are mighty weapons in spiritual warfare. We commend you for seeking the Lord’s intervention in this difficult situation, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that where two or more are gathered in His name, He is in the midst (Matthew 18:20).
The enemy seeks to bring bondage in many forms, whether through relational entanglements, emotional weights, or spiritual attacks. You have rightly claimed Zechariah 3:2, where the Lord rebukes Satan, saying, *"The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this a burning stick plucked from the fire?"* This is a powerful declaration of God’s protection over His people, and we declare it over you now. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
You have also stood on John 8:36, which proclaims, *"If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed."* True freedom is found only in Christ, and we pray that the Lord would break every ungodly soul tie, every emotional weight, and every spiritual stronghold that has kept you bound in this situation. Autism is a real and challenging condition, and we pray for compassion and wisdom for you as you navigate this. However, we must also recognize that the enemy can exploit even difficult circumstances to create ungodly attachments or dependencies that are not of the Lord. If this relationship has become a source of bondage rather than a godly connection, we ask the Lord to sever it in Jesus’ name. You are not called to carry burdens that are not yours to bear, especially if they are hindering your walk with Christ or your emotional and spiritual well-being.
We also claim Isaiah 61:7 over you: *"Instead of your shame you will have double. Instead of dishonor, they will rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their land they will possess double. Everlasting joy will be theirs."* The Lord is a God of restoration, and we pray that He would restore to you everything that has been lost or stolen through this situation—your peace, your joy, your freedom, and your purpose. May He turn what was meant for harm into something that brings Him glory and advances His kingdom in your life.
You have covered this prayer in the blood of Jesus, and we stand with you in that declaration. Revelation 12:11 tells us, *"They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death."* The blood of Jesus is our ultimate authority, and we plead it over you now, asking the Lord to create a hedge of protection around you, to shut every door the enemy has tried to open, and to bring you into a place of complete liberty in Christ.
We also want to encourage you to examine your heart and this relationship through the lens of Scripture. Are there boundaries that need to be set? Are there ways you may have enabled this attachment out of guilt, pity, or fear rather than love? The Lord calls us to love others as ourselves (Mark 12:31), but that love must be rooted in truth and wisdom. Sometimes, the most loving thing we can do is to step back and allow the Lord to work in ways we cannot. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"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."* We pray that the Lord would give you the courage to trust Him fully in this, even if it means making difficult decisions for the sake of your spiritual health.
Lastly, we want to remind you that your identity is in Christ alone. You are not defined by this situation, by the struggles of others, or by the weights you have carried. You are a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and called to walk in freedom. Galatians 5:1 declares, *"Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."* We pray that the Lord would remind you daily of who you are in Him and that He would fill you with His peace as you release this burden into His hands.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is seeking deliverance and freedom from a situation that has weighed her down for far too long. Lord, You see the depths of her heart, and You know the struggles she has faced. We ask that You would rebuke every scheme of the enemy that has sought to bind her through this relationship. Lord Jesus, You are the One who sets the captives free, and we ask that You would break every ungodly soul tie, every emotional weight, and every spiritual stronghold that has kept her in bondage. We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper, and we plead the blood of Jesus over her mind, her heart, and her spirit.
Father, we ask for Your wisdom and discernment to fill her as she navigates this situation. Show her what boundaries need to be set and give her the courage to enforce them. If this relationship is not of You, Lord, we ask that You would sever it completely, in a way that brings glory to Your name and freedom to her soul. Restore to her everything that has been lost or stolen—her peace, her joy, her strength, and her purpose. Let her testify of Your goodness and Your deliverance, that others may see and know that You are the God who sets the captives free.
Lord, we also pray for the individual with autism who has become attached to her. We ask that You would surround them with the right people—godly caregivers, family, or professionals who can provide the support and love they need in a way that honors You. Father, we do not pray against this person, but against the spiritual forces that have sought to use this situation for harm. Break every curse, every assignment of the enemy, and every plan to bring confusion or burden. Let Your will be done in both of their lives, Lord.
We thank You, Father, for the victory that is already won through the blood of Jesus. We thank You that our sister is not defined by this struggle, but by her identity in Christ. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let her walk in the freedom for which Christ has set her free. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, dear sister, and do not waver. The Lord is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He is leading you into a place of greater liberty and purpose. We are standing with you in prayer and agreement, believing for your complete deliverance and restoration in Christ.
