We lift up this precious daughter to You, Father, with heavy hearts, grieving over the chains of deception and control that have taken hold of her life. Lord, we stand in the gap for her, declaring Your truth over her mind, heart, and circumstances. You see the chaos this young man has brought into her life—how he has manipulated her, drained her resources, and led her away from wisdom and obedience. We rebuke the spirit of rebellion in her heart that has caused her to disregard the godly counsel of her parents and the boundaries You have set for her protection. The Word is clear: *"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, break the hold of stubbornness and pride that blinds her to the destruction this relationship is causing. Soften her heart to receive Your correction and the loving guidance of her parents.
We declare that this relationship is not of You, Lord. It is built on manipulation, financial exploitation, and ungodly influence. We pray that You would expose every lie he has spoken over her, every false promise, and every scheme of the enemy designed to steal her joy, her purpose, and her future. Your Word warns us: *"Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company corrupts good morals’"* (1 Corinthians 15:33). We ask that You open her eyes to see this young man for who he truly is—not a protector, not a provider, but a stumbling block to the plans You have for her. Give her the courage to walk away, to resist his influence, and to reject the chaos he brings. We plead the blood of Jesus over her mind, that she would no longer be swayed by his words but would instead be anchored in Your truth.
Lord, we also address the financial bondage he has placed her under. You are the God who provides, and we declare that her resources are not his to take. We pray that You would block his access to her finances, expose any deceitful schemes, and restore to her what has been wrongly taken. Your Word says, *"The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender"* (Proverbs 22:7). We ask that You break this cycle of financial dependence and give her wisdom to steward her resources in a way that honors You.
Father, we also lift up her job, for we know that work is a gift from You and a means to provide for herself and others. The enemy seeks to disrupt her stability, but we declare that she will not be moved by fear or manipulation. Your Word says, *"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might"* (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Give her the strength to persevere in her work, to honor her commitments, and to resist the temptation to abandon her responsibilities. If this job is not where You want her long-term, we ask that You open doors for her to transition in a way that aligns with Your will, not the will of this young man.
We rebuke the spirit of idolatry that has taken root in her heart, Lord. This relationship has become her focus, her source of identity, and her false security. But You alone are worthy of her devotion. We declare that she is a daughter of the King, created for a purpose far greater than this temporary and toxic entanglement. Your Word says, *"For I know the plans I have for you... plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope"* (Jeremiah 29:11). Remind her of her worth in You, that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and that her value is not found in the approval of this man but in the love of her Heavenly Father.
We pray for a complete deliverance from this relationship, Lord. Break every chain of emotional attachment, every fear of loneliness, and every lie that tells her she needs him to be whole. Surround her with godly friendships and mentors who will speak life into her, encourage her in her faith, and hold her accountable to walk in Your ways. We ask that You would bring godly men into her life—brothers in Christ who will model integrity, respect, and selflessness. And when the time is right, we pray that You would bring a godly spouse into her life, a man after Your own heart who will love her as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). Until then, help her to find her fulfillment in You alone.
Father, we also pray for her parents, who are watching their daughter walk a path of destruction. Give them wisdom, patience, and discernment as they navigate this painful season. Help them to speak the truth in love, to set boundaries when necessary, and to trust in Your sovereignty even when they cannot see the outcome. Comfort them with the promise that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28), and that their daughter’s story is not over.
We declare that she will return home, Lord—not out of shame or defeat, but out of freedom and restoration. We pray that she would come to her senses, as the prodigal son did, and run back into the arms of her Heavenly Father and the loving embrace of her family. Let this season of rebellion be a turning point in her life, a testimony of Your grace and redemption. We ask that You would heal every wound, restore every broken piece, and use this experience to draw her closer to You.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would guard her heart from bitterness, regret, or shame as she walks away from this relationship. Your Word says, *"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9). Remind her that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1), and that You are making all things new. Fill her with Your peace, Your joy, and Your hope as she steps into the future You have prepared for her.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, the One who breaks every chain and sets the captives free. Amen.
