We are truly saddened to hear about the difficult situation you are facing with the mother of your daughter. It is important to remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, even though the earth changes, and though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas. Psalm 46:1-2 WEB.
Firstly, let us address the anger and stress you are experiencing. It is natural to feel this way when faced with such trying circumstances, but we must remember what the Scripture says. Be angry, and don't sin. Don't let the sun go down on your wrath, and neither give place to the devil. Ephesians 4:26-27 WEB. We encourage you to channel your anger in a productive way, by praying to God, seeking His guidance and comfort.
Theft and belligerent behavior are clearly against God's commands. You shall not steal. Exodus 20:15 WEB. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. Ephesians 4:31 WEB. We rebuke this behavior and pray that the mother of your child would turn from her ways and seek God's path.
As for the safety and well-being of your daughter, we trust that God will protect and provide for her, just as He promises in His Word. But if anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever. 1 Timothy 5:8 WEB. We encourage you to continue to be a godly force in your daughter's life and also continue to advocate for her safety and well-being.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our brother who is facing a challenging situation. We pray for peace and comfort for him and his daughter, and we ask that You would intercede and bring a resolution to this situation and we ask You would also rebuke and correct the mother of his child for her belligerent and ungodly behavior. We pray for her salvation and for her to turn from her ways and seek Your path. We ask that You would protect and provide for his daughter, guiding her in the way she should go. We also pray for his anger and stress that these feelings would not overcome his spirit, and he would be able to handle the situation with wisdom, grace, and love.
We ask that You would bring peace and restoration to this situation, and that Your will would be done. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue to seek God's will in this situation, trusting that He will guide and provide for you and your daughter. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 WEB.
We also notice that your prayer request did not mention Jesus Christ or end with In Jesus Name. This is very important as it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! Acts 4:12
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You.

Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You. Bless me to trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding.
