We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your precious daughter in this difficult season. Father God, we know that You see every tear she cries and hear every silent prayer of her heart. The pain of rejection and exclusion is deep, especially for a young one trying to navigate friendships and the cruelty of others. We ask You, Lord, to move mightily in this situation.
Heavenly Father, we rebuke the spirit of division and strife that is at work among these girls. Your Word tells us in James 3:16, *"For where envy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed."* We declare that this confusion and evil will not stand in the life of this young girl. We pray for a reversal—yes, Lord, a supernatural reversal—where those who once sought to tear her down will instead be drawn to her light. Let Your love shine so brightly through her that others cannot help but be attracted to it.
We also pray for your daughter’s heart, Lord. Comfort her in her sorrow, as You promise in Psalm 34:18, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Remind her daily that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), that she is loved beyond measure by You, and that her worth is not defined by the opinions of others. Strengthen her identity in Christ so that she may stand firm, even when others falter.
Father, we ask that You would soften the hearts of these girls who are causing pain. Your Word says in Proverbs 16:7, *"When a man’s ways please Yahweh, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him."* We pray that their hearts would be turned toward kindness and inclusion. Let them see the error of their ways and choose to extend friendship rather than exclusion. If it is Your will, Lord, bring godly friends into her life who will uplift, encourage, and stand by her.
We also encourage you, as her parent, to speak life into her daily. Remind her of who she is in Christ—chosen, beloved, and called for a purpose. Help her to see this trial as an opportunity to grow in resilience, compassion, and faith. Teach her to pray for those who mistreat her, as Jesus commanded in Matthew 5:44, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you."* This is not easy, Lord, but we know that with You, all things are possible.
Finally, we want to gently remind you of the importance of keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus in all things. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and it is only in His name that we can come boldly before the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). If your daughter does not yet know Jesus as her Lord and Savior, we pray that this season would draw her closer to Him. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). May she find her hope, peace, and identity in Christ alone.
Lord, we trust You to work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). We believe that You are turning this situation around for Your glory and for her good. We declare that her tears will be turned into joy, her sorrow into dancing, and her loneliness into fellowship. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
