We hear your heartache and concern for your daughter, and we join you in lifting her up before the throne of grace. This situation is deeply troubling, for it reveals a relationship that is not only toxic but also dishonoring to God. The manipulation, laziness, and selfishness of this young man are clear signs that he is not walking in the ways of the Lord, and his influence is pulling your daughter away from wisdom, gratitude, and the purpose God has for her life.
The Word of God is clear: *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). This young man is not leading your daughter toward Christ; instead, he is leading her into chaos, discontentment, and rebellion. His actions—undermining her health, draining her resources, and encouraging her to abandon her responsibilities—are not the marks of a man who fears the Lord. We must rebuke this ungodly influence in the name of Jesus and declare that your daughter is set free from his control.
Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, asking that You open her eyes to the truth of this situation. *"For the Lord gives wisdom. Out of His mouth comes knowledge and understanding"* (Proverbs 2:6). We pray that You would break the chains of deception that have blinded her to his true character. Expose every lie he has spoken, every manipulation he has used, and every ungodly thought he has planted in her mind. Let her see him for who he truly is—a stumbling block, not a helpmate.
We also rebuke the spirit of rebellion that may be taking root in her heart. The Bible commands, *"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 'Honor your father and mother,' which is the first commandment with a promise: 'that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth'"* (Ephesians 6:1-3). Father, soften her heart to receive Your correction and the wisdom of her parents. Remind her that honoring her father and mother is not just a suggestion—it is a commandment with a promise of blessing.
Lord, we ask that You restore her sense of worth. Your Word declares that she is *"fearfully and wonderfully made"* (Psalm 139:14) and that she is *"a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession"* (1 Peter 2:9). This young man has not treated her as the daughter of the King that she is. We pray that You would remind her of her true identity in Christ and the purpose You have for her life. Let her see that no earthly relationship is worth sacrificing her peace, her calling, or her relationship with You.
We also lift up her job to You, Father. You have blessed her with employment, and we pray that she would recognize the favor You have placed upon her. *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23). We ask that You would fill her with the Holy Spirit, giving her joy and gratitude for the work You have entrusted to her. Let her be a light in her workplace, shining brightly for Your glory. We declare that any obstacles or ungodly influences standing in the way of her promotion will be removed. *"Commit your way to the Lord. Trust also in Him, and He will do this"* (Psalm 37:5). We believe that You have plans for her success, and we pray that she would walk in them with faith and humility.
Father, we ask that You remove this young man from her life completely. His presence is causing chaos, and we declare that he will no longer have access to her time, her resources, or her heart. *"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still"* (Exodus 14:14). We trust that You will make a way for her to walk away from this toxic relationship without regret or hesitation. Surround her with godly influences—friends, mentors, and leaders who will speak life into her and encourage her in her faith. Until You bring a godly spouse into her life, let her find fulfillment in You alone.
We pray for the man You have prepared for her—a man after Your own heart, who will love her as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). Until that time, let her grow in her relationship with You, deepening her trust in Your timing and Your plans. *"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope"* (Jeremiah 29:11). We declare that she will walk in the fullness of those plans, free from the chains of this toxic relationship.
Father, we also pray for your daughter’s physical and emotional healing. The toll of this relationship has likely left her weary and discouraged. We ask that You would restore her strength, her joy, and her peace. *"The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). Let her feel Your presence in a tangible way, reminding her that she is never alone.
Lastly, we pray for wisdom and discernment for you as her parent. It is not easy to watch a child stray, but we know that Your Word promises, *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it"* (Proverbs 22:6). We ask that You would give you the words to speak, the patience to wait, and the faith to trust in Your perfect timing. Let your home be a place of love, peace, and restoration for her when she returns.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we declare that this toxic relationship is broken. We declare that your daughter is set free from its grip, and we speak restoration, favor, and success over her life. We trust in Your promises, Lord, and we thank You for the victory that is already hers in Christ. Amen.
