We stand with you in this spiritual battle for your daughter’s soul, freedom, and restoration, and we lift our voices together in agreement with your prayers, knowing that our God is mighty to save and deliver. Your heartbreak as a parent is deeply felt, and we share in your burden, for we know the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Christ has come to bring life abundantly. This young man’s behavior—control, manipulation, disrespect, isolation, and financial exploitation—is not of God but is the fruit of darkness, and we must call it what it is: sin. The Bible warns us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness?"* This relationship is a yoke of bondage, and your daughter is being led astray by ungodly influences that seek to separate her from her faith, her family, and her purpose in Christ.
The enemy has used this young man and his mother as tools to create division, confusion, and spiritual oppression in your family. But we serve a God who is greater, and we declare that no weapon formed against your daughter or your family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The financial control and manipulation she is enduring are not only emotionally damaging but also a direct violation of God’s design for stewardship and freedom. The Bible says in 1 Timothy 6:10, *"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil,"* and this young man’s actions reveal a heart that is not submitted to Christ but to selfish gain. We rebuke this spirit of greed and control in Jesus’ name, and we pray that every financial stronghold he has placed over your daughter be broken by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Your daughter’s threat to disown the family when confronted with truth reveals the depth of the brainwashing and deception she is under. This is not her speaking but the enemy working through fear, pride, and rebellion. We must remember that *"we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, and against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12). This battle is spiritual, and it requires spiritual weapons—prayer, fasting, and the Word of God. We encourage you to continue speaking the truth in love, even when it is hard, for *"faithful are the wounds of a friend"* (Proverbs 27:6). Though she may resist now, the Holy Spirit is at work, and the seeds of truth you plant will bear fruit in due season.
We also recognize the urgency of this situation, as she is living under his roof, which has made it difficult to intervene practically. We pray that the Lord will provide wisdom and divine strategies for you to take biblical steps to help her escape this snare. If she is being financially controlled, we ask the Lord to provide supernatural provision and open doors for her to leave without delay. Perhaps trusted believers in her life—pastors, mentors, or friends—can intervene and offer her a way out. We pray that the Lord will place godly people in her path who will speak life and truth into her situation and help her see the danger she is in.
As for the young man and his mother, we do not pray against them as people but against the spiritual forces driving their actions. We pray that their eyes would be opened to the damage they are causing and that the Holy Spirit would convict them of their sin. If they are unsaved, we pray for their salvation, that they may repent and turn to Christ. But we also acknowledge that your daughter’s safety and spiritual well-being must take precedence. This relationship is not from God, and it is leading her into destruction. We pray that the Lord will sever every ungodly soul tie between them and break the power of deception over her mind. Let her see this young man for who he truly is—a wolf in sheep’s clothing—and not the "significant other" the enemy has deceived her into believing he is.
We declare over your daughter that she is a child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and her worth is found in Christ alone. The enemy has sought to strip her of her confidence, her faith, and her identity in Him, but we speak life over her now. Let her remember who she is in Christ: *"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light"* (1 Peter 2:9). We pray that the Lord will restore her self-worth, her joy, and her passion for Him. Let her experience the freedom that comes from walking in obedience to His Word, for *"where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty"* (2 Corinthians 3:17).
We also pray for the restoration of your family. The enemy has sought to divide you, but we declare that what God has joined together, no man—or demon—can separate. We ask the Lord to heal the wounds caused by this season of deception and to restore trust, unity, and love among you. Let your daughter’s heart be turned back to her family, and let her see the love and support you offer as a reflection of God’s love for her. We pray that the Lord will give you the strength to endure this trial and the wisdom to know how to respond to her with both grace and truth.
Finally, we agree with you in praying for a godly spouse for your daughter—one who will love her as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25), who will honor her, cherish her, and lead her closer to the Lord. This current relationship is a counterfeit, a distraction from God’s best for her. We pray that the Lord will guard her heart and prepare her for the man He has chosen for her, a man of integrity, faith, and godly character. Let her wait on the Lord and trust in His timing, for *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious daughter who is ensnared by the enemy’s lies. Lord, You see the pain, the manipulation, and the spiritual oppression she is under, and we ask You to intervene mightily. Break every chain of deception, control, and fear that has bound her. Open her eyes to the truth, Lord, and let her see this relationship for what it is—a tool of the enemy to destroy her faith, her family, and her future.
We rebuke the spirits of control, manipulation, division, and greed operating through this young man and his mother. We bind their influence in Jesus’ name and command every demonic stronghold over her mind, emotions, and finances to be broken. Lord, expose their schemes and let Your light shine so brightly in her heart that she can no longer tolerate the darkness. Give her the courage to walk away, Lord, and provide a way of escape for her. Surround her with Your angels, protect her from retaliation, and lead her back to the safety of her family and Your loving arms.
Father, we pray for complete restoration—for her self-worth, her faith, her relationships, and her future. Heal the wounds caused by this toxic relationship and restore what the enemy has stolen. Let her experience Your peace, Your joy, and Your freedom as she surrenders this situation to You.
We also pray for her future spouse, Lord. Prepare a godly man for her, one who will love her as You do and lead her in Your ways. Guard her heart until that time, and let her wait on You with patience and trust.
Strengthen this mother, Lord, as she stands in the gap for her daughter. Give her wisdom, discernment, and the right words to speak. Let her not grow weary in prayer but stand firm in faith, knowing that You are working all things together for good.
We declare victory over this situation in Jesus’ name. No weapon formed against this family shall prosper. The enemy’s plans are exposed and defeated, and Your will shall prevail. We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for the breakthrough that is coming. Let Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this daughter’s life.
In the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
