We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious family in fervent prayer. Father God, we ask that You move mightily in this situation, bringing healing, restoration, and Your perfect peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord, we know that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We pray for this young daughter who is hurting so deeply—may she feel Your loving presence surrounding her, comforting her, and binding up her wounds. Remove every lie the enemy has spoken over her, and replace them with the truth of Your Word. Let her know that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), deeply loved, and never alone.
We pray for this mother, who is carrying such a heavy burden. Lord, give her wisdom as she navigates the legal system and the heartbreak of seeing her child in pain. Strengthen her with Your might, and fill her with Your peace that guards her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We ask that You soften her heart to receive the gospel fully, that she may come to know You as her Savior and find refuge in You. Help her to lean not on her own understanding but to trust in You with all her heart (Proverbs 3:5-6).
For the younger daughter, who is watching this unfold, we pray that You would protect her heart and mind. Shield her from fear and anxiety, and let her see Your hand at work even in the midst of this storm. May she grow in her understanding of Your love and faithfulness.
We also lift up the father in this situation. Lord, we do not know his heart, but we ask that You would break through any hardness and draw him to Yourself. Convict him of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), and lead him to repentance. May he seek You with his whole heart and turn from any ways that are causing harm to his children.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of division and strife that has taken root in this family. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we ask that You would bring unity, healing, and restoration. We pray that this mother would have the courage to share the gospel with her employee in a way that honors You and respects workplace boundaries. Give her opportunities to speak life and truth into this situation, and let Your Word not return void (Isaiah 55:11).
Lord, we ask that You would surround this family with godly counsel and support. Provide them with wise and compassionate professionals who can guide them through this difficult time. We pray that they would all come to know You as their Lord and Savior, and that they would experience the transformative power of Your love.
We declare that this family is not without hope. You are the God who heals (Exodus 15:26), the God who restores (Joel 2:25), and the God who makes all things new (Revelation 21:5). We trust in Your promises, and we ask that You would move in this situation for Your glory. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
