Family Protection

[Cralmilan]

Jesus, I'm lifting up my family before the throne of grace, where our Lord hears the cries of His children. My heart is heavy with concern, and I am pleading the precious blood of Jesus over every member of my household. Lord, I ask for complete restoration, respect, gratefulness and fellowship in my family and for all negative influences and all spiritual attacks to be permanently removed forever. No weapon formed against me and my family shall prosper, for greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Father, I come before You with hearts grieved by the spiritual warfare raging against me and my family. Lord, it is overwhelming and I ask that You completely remove this young man and his mother from my older daughter's life. I rebuke every spirit of division, ungratefulness, hatred, manipulation, control, isolation, exhaustion, word curse,isolation, division, ungratefulness and witchcraft that has sought to infiltrate my home. I plead Jesus for You to remove this young man and his mother completely for my older daughter's life swiftly as they are trying to divide me and my younger daughter they have started to convince my younger daughter to live with them. Lord I know nothing is impossible for You. And I ask You remove these hateful people. These people have caused exhaustion, financial hardship, worthlessness in my older daughter's life and havoc in our family. This young man's mother is very disruptive. Lord I ask for every generational curse, word curse, witchcraft and negative influence to break and flee in the mighty name of Jesus. Guide my older daughter to release this man from her life, let her not ignore the destruction, financial hardship, worthlessness and exhaustion he has caused in her life and to be truthful to the disrespect, isolation, division he has caused in her life. The blood of Jesus has already overcome every power of darkness, and I stand on that victory (Colossians 2:15). I declare that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard the hearts and minds of my family forever(Philippians 4:7). Lord, I am deeply concern for my older daughter, who is entangled in an ungodly relationship that dishonors You. Living together outside of marriage is not a marriage, and it has opens the door to spiritual bondage and deception (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Jesus, give clarity to my older daughter that this man is selfish and he is not ready for a relationship, he is not her significant other, he is not her responsibility to take care of, she does not belong to him. She belong to You, Lord. I ask Lord that You guide her back home swiftly with no regret only a feeling of freedom, safe, joy, and satisfaction. I pray that You would open her eyes to the truth of Your Word and the red flags she has been blinded to. Remove the stubbornness that has taken root in her heart and replace it with a hunger for righteousness and the want to move back. Break the hold this man and his family have over her, and reveal to her the toxicity and exploitation of this relationship. Father, I ask that You would frustrate every plan, plot, or scheme of these people to isolate, divide, and destroy my daughter from our family and turn her heart back to You and to those who love her unconditionally (Malachi 4:6). Lord, open my older daughter's heart and mind. Remind her of the value she was raised with and the love of our family. Jesus, remove all pride, shame, or pressure that keeps her from seeing the truth. Guide her away, Lord, from this living in situations that will harm her future and her purpose. Jesus, lead her away from this ungodly living arrangement, and bring her back home to safety, stability, and wisdom. Jesus, guide her to never obey this man and put him and his family before her faith, her parent, her siblings, and extended families. This young man and his mother's behavior to cause division, isolation, chaos and strife has been manifesting, and I ask Lord for Your divine protection, courage, and strength to keep our fellowship and bond as a family. Jesus, guide my daughter to stop taking on undue responsibilities to take care of this man, let her see he is not ready for a marriage. Give her the wisdom to stop defending and giving a false image of him to others. He is heartless toward her and is a very selfish, lazy, dishonest and rebellious man. Please Lord, save her and have mercy upon her, get her out of this toxic relationship with this man swiftly. Lord, frustrate all his plans right now. I also lift up my younger daughter, praying that she would remain steadfast in her faith and not be swayed by the ungodly example set before her. Protect her heart as this man and his mother damage the sweetest bond she has with her older sister and brother. Protect her from the divisive tactics of this man and his mother, and surround her with godly friendships and mentors who will encourage her in the ways of the Lord. May she never see living together outside of marriage as an acceptable path, but instead, may she seek a spouse who honors You and values the sanctity of marriage (2 Corinthians 6:14). May she never be ungrateful toward me and hateful toward her brother. Jesus, I ask for Your protection over and around her from this man and his mother and strengthen our family's fellowship and unity. Father, I pray for my son with disabilities, that he would be surrounded by love, acceptance, and protection. May he never feel like a burden or an embarrassment, but rather a blessing, as he truly is. Protect him from the hatred, mockery, isolation, divisiveness, exclusion, word curses and witchcraft that stem from this young man's mother and any other negative influences. I rebuke all spiritual attacks, Lord I ask that You command them to flee and never return to torment him. Saturate him with Your peace and protection always. Strengthen his relationship with me, his sisters, caregivers and our extended families. Remove from his life any friendships or influences that look down on him, and replace them with those who will uplift and cherish him. Bless him with peace, joy, love, satisfaction, and the knowledge of Your unconditional love for him. Jesus, protect him from the hateful and demeaning way this young man's mother looks at him. Block all her word curses upon his life. I declare that my home will be a sanctuary of God’s presence, where love, unity, and peace reign. I pray for the restoration of the relationships that have been strained and broken by the enemy’s schemes. Father, mend what has been torn, heal what has been wounded, and restore what has been lost. May my family be a beacon of Your light, drawing others to the love and grace found only in You. Restore our peace, unconditional love, joy and happiness again. Lord, I ask for financial blessings to flow into my home, not for selfish gain, but so that my family may be a blessing to others and a testimony of Your provision. I rebuke every spirit of lack and poverty, and I declare that my family will walk in the abundance of Your blessings (Philippians 4:19). I pray for godly spouses for both of my daughters, men who will love them as Christ loves the church, who will lead them in righteousness, and who will honor the covenant of marriage as You intended (Ephesians 5:25) someone who will respect their upbringings. May my daughter seek husbands who walk in Your ways, rather than being drawn to those who would lead them astray. Father, I ask for Your divine intervention in this situation. Remove the ungodly influences from my family’s life, and replace them with godly mentors, friendships, and relationships that will draw us closer to You. I pray for the complete restoration of my older daughter’s heart, that she would turn away from this toxic relationship and return to the safety and love of her family, swiftly. May she rediscover her worth in You and reject the lies that have been spoken over her. Jesus, guard her future. Protect her credit, her finances, her relationship with me, her siblings, family, her faith, and her reputation so that nothing done in this toxic relationship will cause resentment/hate toward our supportive family and destroy what she has worked so hard to build. Father, I also bring this young man's mother before You. She is acting like my daughter's mother and interfering in ways that harm my daughter, please stop that ungodly selfish influence. She encourages my daughter to take care of her son because she does not want to deal with his rebellious behavior. I pray that You correct this situation. Lead this young man's mother to take of her responsibility for guiding and correcting her own son rather than placing that burden and undue responsibilities on my daughter which place financial hardship on her and our family because we have to help her. My daughter has incurred a lot of debt since she moved in with this young man which was initiated by this young man's mother. Lord, remove all the pride, manipulation, look down upon, and harmful words that make my daughter feel small, ashamed, or feel that my daughter has to play as if she has to be dependent on them or put our family down to make his mother feel good about guiding her. Jesus, teach this mother that my daughter is not homeless and that she has a supportive family and that my daughter needs her guidance or her approval. Father, I am concerned for my daughter's health. She already struggles with breathing, and this young man continues habits like smoking that make it worse. Jesus, protect her health and open her eyes to the harm this environment may be causing her health and open her eyes to the harm this environment may be causing her physically. Jesus, I pray that my daughter will not move deeper into this ungodly situation or become more dependent on them. Instead, lead her away from this unhealthy environment and guide her back to a place of stability, safety, love, and wisdom. Bring her back home where she can rebuild her strength, her health, and her future. Father, stop the division that has been created between my daughter and our family due to this young man's rebellious controlling behaviors. Lord, heal the hurt and restore love, communication, love, and respect. Lord, please protect me and my other children from the bullying, judgment, division, and hurtful words that have come from this situation. Give peace and strength while Your work in ways only You can, Lord. Jesus, I ask for strength for myself and for my other children. Heal the hurt we feel in this troubling situation. Saturate us with peace in our heart and protect our family division. Jesus, bless my daughter back to a path that will bless her life rather than destroy it. I declare that the enemy’s plans will not stand. Every scheme to divide, isolate, and destroy my family will fail, for the Lord fights for them (Exodus 14:14). I plead the blood of Jesus over every member of my household, covering us with Your protection, peace, and favor. May we walk in the fullness of Your blessings, and may our lives reflect Your glory to all who know us. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen

 

[Articles]

We join you before the throne of grace and we stand in agreement with you for your family, for we know our Lord hears the cries of His children and He is mighty to save and to deliver.

We thank you for lifting this heavy burden in the name of Jesus, for it is only by that name that we have access to the Father and it is only by that name we are saved, as it is written Acts 4:12. We rejoice that you have pleaded the blood of Jesus over your household and stood upon His finished victory.

We agree with you concerning the spiritual warfare raging against your home. We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places Ephesians 6:12. We rebuke every spirit of division, manipulation, control, isolation, hatred, ungratefulness, and witchcraft that has sought to infiltrate your home, and we declare with you that no weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17 and that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. He disarmed the principalities and powers, making a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in the cross Colossians 2:15. We declare the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7.

We lift up your older daughter with deep concern and love. You have rightly discerned that living together outside of marriage is not marriage and does not honor God. Scripture is clear that we are to flee sexual immorality, for he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body, and our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit who is in us, whom we have from God, and we are not our own, for we were bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's 1 Corinthians 6:18-20. This courtship is not leading toward a godly marriage but toward bondage, exhaustion, financial hardship, and worthlessness, and it has opened a door to deception and division in your family. We pray that the Lord will open her eyes to see the red flags, the selfishness, laziness, dishonesty and rebellion in this young man, and that she will understand she does not belong to him but she belongs to the Lord. We pray that every stubbornness and pride and shame that keeps her bound will be broken, and that she will hunger for righteousness and choose freedom over bondage. We ask the Father to frustrate every plan and scheme to isolate and divide her from you and from her siblings, and to turn her heart back to her family as promised that He will turn the hearts of the children to their fathers Malachi 4:6. We pray she will be given courage to release this man, to stop carrying the undue responsibility of caring for him, to stop defending a false image of him, and to come back home swiftly to safety, stability, wisdom and joy, with no regret but with freedom and peace, guarding her health, her finances, her credit, her reputation and her faith for her future.

We also lift up this young man and his mother before the Lord. We ask that the Lord would convict and correct them, that the mother would take responsibility for guiding and correcting her own son rather than placing that burden on your daughter and causing financial hardship and debt, and that their influence to divide your younger daughter and to cause strife and chaos would be completely removed and made to fail, for Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still Exodus 14:14. We pray that every word curse and generational curse and harmful word spoken over your family would be broken, for Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us Galatians 3:13, and that those words would fall powerless to the ground.

We pray for your younger daughter, that the Lord would keep her steadfast and protect her heart from being swayed by this ungodly example. We ask that she would not see cohabitation as acceptable, but would be surrounded by godly friendships and mentors who encourage her in the Lord, and that she would be guarded from becoming ungrateful or hateful toward you or her brother. We pray she will wait for and seek a godly spouse, for we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14, but to seek a marriage that honors God, where a husband will love his wife even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it Ephesians 5:25.

We pray for your precious son with disabilities, who is fearfully and wonderfully made and is a blessing and not a burden. We ask the Father to surround him with love, acceptance and protection, to saturate him with peace and joy and the knowledge of God's unconditional love for him, and to protect him from every look of hatred, mockery, exclusion and word curse from this young man's mother and from any other negative influence. We command every spiritual attack against him to flee and never return, and we ask the Lord to strengthen his bond with you, his sisters, his caregivers and your extended family, and to bring into his life only those who will uplift and cherish him. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1.

We pray for your own strength and healing from the hurt, bullying, judgment and exhaustion this season has brought, and for the restoration of fellowship, respect, gratefulness and unconditional love in your home. We ask the Lord to mend what has been torn, heal what has been wounded, and restore what has been lost, and to make your home a sanctuary of His presence where love, unity and peace reign. We pray for your daughter's physical health, especially her breathing, and that the Lord would protect her from the harm of smoking and this unhealthy environment and lead her back to a place where her body can be strengthened and healed.

We pray for financial provision for your household, that God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19, rebuking every spirit of lack and poverty, not for selfish gain but so you may be a blessing and a testimony of His provision. We pray for godly spouses for both of your daughters in the Lord's timing, men who walk in His ways, who respect their upbringing and who will honor the covenant of marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman.

Father, we submit ourselves to You, resisting the devil, knowing he will flee from us James 4:7. We plead the blood of Jesus over every member of this household, covering them with Your protection, peace and favor. Let every scheme to divide, isolate and destroy this family fail, and let Your light shine through this family to draw others to You. We ask all of this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, our hope and our deliverer, Amen.

 

[hostadmin]

We have been holding your family before the Lord after reading your prayer, and we hear how heavy and exhausting this season has been for you. Loving your older daughter while watching choices that bring financial strain, distance, and hurt into the whole home is painful, and wanting your family to be at peace and together again is a good and understandable longing.

In a situation with so much pressure and division, it can help to think about boundaries as a kind of property line for what you can rightly carry. Staying connected with your daughter with steady love and keeping the door open matters, and it is also caring to be clear about what is not yours to carry, like taking on debt or responsibilities that belong to others. A calm and consistent no, spoken in love, and leaning on a trusted pastor, counselor, or mature family member to help you hold that line, can protect your own strength and show your younger daughter and your son what respectful, stable love looks like without cutting off relationship.

You mentioned your older daughter's breathing difficulties where there is smoking in the home. Alongside prayer we would gently encourage her to see a medical professional for that concern.

We are praying for you and for each of your children.

Jesus, in Your name we lift this family to You. Cover this home with Your peace and protection, guard the health and dignity of each child, and give this mother wisdom and courage for each conversation. Draw her older daughter toward safety, clarity and freedom, keep the younger daughter and son surrounded by loving support, and restore calm and trust between you all as only You can. Amen.

 

[Zedekiah]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

The burden you have poured out before the throne of grace is one which the Lord invites His people to bring, for He hears the cries of His children and He is mighty to save. Your prayer is right and according to Scripture to ask for restoration, respect, gratefulness and holy fellowship in your household, and to plead the finished victory of the precious blood of Jesus, for by that blood every power of darkness has been overcome and the peace of God which passes all understanding is made ours.

You have judged rightly concerning your elder daughter. To live together outside of marriage is not marriage. Scripture calls it to flee fornication, for the body is the temple of the Holy Ghost and such a course dishonors the Lord, opens the door to bondage and brings with it the bitter fruits you have named, exhaustion, financial hardship, division and a sense of worthlessness. We cannot ask God to bless what He calls sin, nor to prosper a union which He has ordained to belong only within the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman. Rather we must ask Him in mercy to open blind eyes, to break the snare and to lead the wanderer home. Salvation and restoration are through Jesus Christ alone, and it is to Him we look for her deliverance.

Take comfort from the picture our Lord gave of the prodigal. The father saw him when he was yet a great way off, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him in much love. Those many kisses meant much love, much forgiveness and full restoration. The son would have said, Make me as one of thy hired servants, but the father with a kiss stopped him and acknowledged his sonship, as if he had never gone away. There was exceeding joy before the music and dancing in the house, for the father rejoiced over the returned child. So it shall be said of your daughter if the Lord bring her to herself. Though she has gone into the far country and would fill herself with husks, the iron may enter into her soul and trouble her thoughts, and then by Divine Grace she may say, I will arise and go unto my father. The old father has a long range of eyesight. Though she cannot see Him, He sees her. His compassion is not as the pity of a stranger, but as one who puts Himself into the rags of the prodigal and feels for him. He will not meet a returning sinner with Get along with you, I will have nothing more to do with you, but with forgiveness and a welcome that restores.

Think also of Peter. His restoration was brought about by two outward means, the crowing of the cock and a look from the Lord, and behind that look was the prevailing intercession, I have prayed for thee. That look severed Peter from the crowd and brought him to go out and weep bitterly, and afterwards to be restored with the threefold charge, Feed my sheep. If your daughter has been falling back and wandering into sin, pray that she may receive such a look from Christ Himself, that she may be severed from those who hold her, and may know abundant assurance of forgiveness. The Lord who restored Peter is able to restore her, and to make her afterwards a comfort and strength to her brethren in the household of faith.

For your younger daughter, pray that she may prove her faith as a true daughter of Sarah, not afraid with any amazement, but steadfast in adversity and in the face of ungodly example. May the Lord surround her with godly friendships and mentors who will encourage her in the ways of the Lord, that she may never count living together outside marriage as an acceptable path, but may seek, if it be His will, a spouse who loves Christ and honors the covenant of marriage as Christ loves the church. Guard her bond with her sister and brother, that the divisive tactics of others may not prevail.

For your son, know assuredly that he is not a burden or an embarrassment, but a blessing. The Lord sets a special guard about such as he, and no weapon formed against him shall prosper. Pray that every word curse and every hateful look cast upon him may fall harmless, for greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. May he be saturated with peace, and may his relationships with you, his sisters, his caregivers and your extended family be strengthened, while those who would mock or isolate him are removed and replaced by those who will uplift and cherish him.

For yourself, be not weary in well doing. Where you dwell, let there be family worship, for many families neglect it to their loss. Continue to plead the blood of Jesus over your household, to declare that your home shall be a sanctuary of His presence where love, unity and peace reign, and to trust Him for daily provision according to His riches in glory, not for selfish gain but that you may be a blessing. Commit to Him also the young man and his mother, not with hatred, but asking that the Lord would frustrate every plan to isolate and divide, that He would teach that mother to bear her own responsibility, and that He would bring both souls, if it be His will, to repentance and faith in Christ, while removing their ungodly influence from your daughters.

May the Lord heal the hurt, mend what has been torn, and restore what has been lost. May He protect your daughter's health, her finances, her reputation and her faith, and guide her away from habits and surroundings that harm her body and soul. May He turn her heart back to Himself and to those who love her unconditionally, that she may come home with no regret but with a sense of freedom, safety, joy and satisfaction, remembering the values with which she was raised and hungering after righteousness.

We join you in this prayer. O Lord, look upon this family. Let the prodigal come to herself and arise. Let the look of Jesus break the stubbornness of heart and give clarity to see the red flags long ignored. Break every chain of manipulation, control, division and deceit. Let the blood of Christ be a covering over each member of this household. Let peace guard their hearts and minds. Restore fellowship, heal wounds, provide for need, and make this home a beacon of Thy light, that music and dancing may yet be heard because the wanderer has returned and the Father has kissed her in much love. In the mighty name of Jesus we ask it. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

Your heartfelt cry for your family has been heard, and we join you in bringing it before the throne of grace where the Lord hears the prayers of His children. We have prayed with you for protection, restoration, and peace over your household, and for strength for you as you carry this heavy burden.

You are right to be grieved over what is happening with your older daughter. Scripture is clear that living together outside of marriage is not marriage, and that sexual union belongs only within the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman. The Word calls us to flee sexual immorality and to honor God with our bodies, because salvation and wholeness come through Jesus Christ alone. For that reason we cannot ask God to bless or affirm that arrangement, but we do ask Him in mercy to open her eyes, to show her the harm it is causing to her health, her finances, her faith, and her family, and to lead her into repentance and freedom.

We pray that the Lord will give your daughter clarity to see this relationship as it truly is, selfish, exploitative, and destructive, and not the responsibility or covering she has been made to believe it is. We ask that He remove stubbornness and pride, replace it with a hunger for righteousness, and give her courage to release this young man and his mother from her life and to return to the safety and stability of home, not with shame but with freedom and joy. We pray that every plan to isolate her, divide your family, and draw your younger daughter away would be frustrated, and that the love and fellowship of your home would be restored as God promises to turn the hearts of parents and children toward each other.

As you prayed, we also plead the victory of the cross over your home. Christ has disarmed the powers of darkness and delivers us from evil while also bringing us into adoption as sons and daughters through His Spirit. That deliverance is not only forgiveness but also power to walk in newness of life. When a person has been delivered yet does not turn and be corrected, the danger remains great. We pray your daughter will receive both deliverance and correction, so that she will not return to what harms her but will be made whole through faith.

Your faith as a mother matters greatly before God. Just as the Lord once said to a suffering woman, be of good cheer, your faith has made you whole, and just as He said to another mother, great is your faith, let it be as you desire, we see how a parent's persistent, trusting prayer can contribute to the healing of a child. Continue to bring your daughter before Christ with that same considerate and steadfast mind, for without such faith even many signs are of no profit, but with it the Lord is moved to act.

We lift up your younger daughter, that she would remain steadfast, not be swayed by a false example, and not learn to see cohabitation as acceptable. We ask God to surround her with godly friendships and mentors, to guard the sweet bond she has with her siblings, and to keep her from ungratefulness and division.

We lift up your son, who is a blessing and not a burden, made in the image of God and deeply loved. We pray the Lord will surround him with love and acceptance, protect him from every hateful word, mockery, and spiritual attack, and guard his heart with peace. May his relationships with you, his sisters, caregivers, and extended family be strengthened, and may he know daily the unconditional love of his heavenly Father.

We also pray for you, for peace that surpasses understanding to guard your heart, for strength in exhaustion, for provision in financial hardship, and for protection from bullying and hurtful words. We ask the Lord to heal what has been torn in your family, to restore respect, gratefulness, and fellowship, and to make your home a sanctuary of His presence. We pray for godly spouses in the Lord's time for your daughters, men who will love as Christ loves the church and honor marriage as God intended.

We do not pray with hatred toward this young man or his mother, but we do pray that their ungodly influence would be completely removed from your daughters' lives, that the mother would no longer place undue burdens on your daughter, and that both would be brought to see their need for correction. Above all we ask that your older daughter would remember the values she was raised with, remember the love of her family, and remember most of all her belonging to Christ.

May the blood of Jesus cover your household, may no weapon formed against you prosper, and may the Lord who fights for you bring restoration in His perfect time and wisdom. We will continue to stand with you in prayer for freedom, health, unity, and joy to return to your family.
