Family Protection

[Cralmilan]

esus, 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, division, isolation, jealousy 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, division, isolation and stubborn hold raging against me and my children. 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, and witchcraft that has sought to infiltrate my home. I declare complete freedom and restoration for me and my children. I ask Jesus for Your mercy upon my family and 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 move. Lord, I know nothing is impossible for You. And I ask You remove these destructive people. They have caused exhaustion, financial hardship, worthlessness and separation in my older daughter's life and havoc in our family. Lord I ask for every generational curse, word curse, witchcraft and negative influences 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 exploitation, worthlessness, mood swings and exhaustion he has caused in her life and I pray that she will be truthful to the desrespect, 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 and unity of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard the hearts and minds of my family forever(Philippians 4:7). Lord, help my daughter out of this ungodly relationship that dishonors You. Living together outside of marriage is not a marriage, and it has opens the door to spiritual bondage, attacks 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, and 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 stand with you before the throne of grace and we hear the heaviness of your heart for your family, and we join our faith with yours in the mighty name of Jesus. We thank you for lifting your household before the Lord and for pleading the precious blood of Jesus over every member of your home, for we know that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is by His blood that we overcome. As it is written, There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12, and Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. We rejoice that you have come in that name.

We agree 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. We rebuke together every spirit of division, isolation, jealousy, manipulation, control, exhaustion, hatred, ungratefulness, word curses and witchcraft that has sought to infiltrate your home. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12. We declare with you that He has stripped the principalities and the powers, making a show of them openly, triumphing over them Colossians 2:15, and we submit ourselves to God and resist the devil and he will flee from us James 4:7.

We must address with love and truth what you have rightly discerned about your older daughter. Living together outside of marriage is not marriage in the eyes of God, it is fornication, and Scripture warns us to flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body 1 Corinthians 6:18. This kind of ungodly living arrangement dishonors the Lord and indeed opens the door to spiritual bondage, deception, exhaustion, financial hardship and division as you have seen. We affirm your prayer that the Lord would give her clarity to see that this young man is not her husband, not her significant other, and not her responsibility to care for, and that she belongs to the Lord. We pray that she will no longer defend or give a false image of this relationship, but will see the selfishness, laziness, dishonesty and rebellion for what it is, and that the stubborn hold over her heart would be broken and replaced with a hunger for righteousness.

We also speak to the matter of seeking a godly spouse. We agree with you in praying for godly husbands for both of your daughters, men who will love their wives even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it Ephesians 5:25, men who honor the covenant of marriage as God intended between a man and a woman for life. Courtship should always be with the goal of marriage to another Christian believer, and we must not be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14. We pray your daughters will desire spouses who walk in the ways of the Lord and respect their upbringing, rather than being drawn to those who would lead them astray.

We lift up your younger daughter with you and ask the Lord to protect her heart and keep her steadfast in her faith. We pray she will not be swayed by the ungodly example before her nor by the divisive tactics of this young man and his mother, and that she will never see living together outside of marriage as acceptable. We ask God to surround her with godly friendships and mentors who will encourage her in His ways and to strengthen the sweet bond she has with her older sister and her brother, and that no scheme to convince her to move or to isolate her would prosper.

We lift up your precious son and we declare over him that he is fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:14 and that he is a blessing and not a burden. We rebuke every word curse, hatred, mockery, exclusion and witchcraft spoken against him, especially from this young man’s mother, and we ask the Lord to block every demeaning look and harmful word. We pray the Lord will saturate him with peace and protection, strengthen his relationship with you, his sisters, caregivers and extended family, and replace any influence that looks down on him with those who will uplift and cherish him.

We agree with you for your older daughter’s health, for her breathing struggles that are worsened by smoking in that environment, and for her finances, her credit, her reputation and her faith. We ask the Lord to open her eyes to the financial exploitation, worthlessness, mood swings and exhaustion this relationship has caused, and to give her courage to be truthful about the disrespect, isolation and division it has brought. We pray that pride, shame and pressure would be removed and that she would be led swiftly back home to safety, stability and wisdom with no regret but only freedom, joy and satisfaction, remembering the values she was raised with and the unconditional love of her family. We pray Malachi 4:6 over your home, that He will turn the hearts of the children to their fathers, and restore fellowship, respect, gratefulness and unity.

We pray for you, that the Lord would renew your strength as you have felt exhaustion and hurt from bullying, judgment and division. We declare that Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still Exodus 14:14 and that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7. We ask for financial blessing to flow into your home not for selfish gain but so you may be a testimony of His provision, for My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19, and we rebuke every spirit of lack and poverty.

We also bring this young man and his mother before the Lord. We ask that every plan, plot and scheme to isolate, divide and destroy would be frustrated, and we pray that the mother would take responsibility for guiding and correcting her own son rather than placing that undue burden on your daughter. We pray for correction and conviction where manipulation and control have been used, and we ask that even they would come to repentance and truth if they do not know the Lord.

Father, we declare together that our homes will be sanctuaries of Your presence where love, unity and peace reign. Mend what has been torn, heal what has been wounded and restore what has been lost. Let Your light shine through this family. We plead the blood of Jesus over every member of this household, covering them with Your protection, peace and favor. We trust that in all things God works for good for those who love Him, to those who are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28.

We pray all of this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, our Lord and our victory. Amen.

We have been lifting your family before the Lord since reading your request, and we hear how heavy this has become for you. You love each of your children deeply and you have been carrying worry for your older daughter, protection for your younger daughter and your son, and exhaustion and financial strain for yourself, all at once.

Loving an adult daughter through choices that concern you is one of the hardest places for a parent to be. You cannot make her decisions for her, and yet you feel the impact of them every day. In seasons like this, keeping a steady, calm connection where she knows she is loved and can come home without shame often keeps the door open for better conversations later. That does not mean you have to carry what is not yours to carry.

It may help to sit with a trusted pastor or counselor, someone who knows you and your family, to think through clear and loving boundaries around finances and communication that protect your peace and your household while you continue to pray for her. We also noticed your concern about her breathing and the smoking in her home. Alongside prayer, we encourage you to gently urge her to see her primary care provider for that.

Father, in Jesus name we bring this family to You. Cover this home with Your peace. Give this mom wisdom, strength and rest, guard each child in body and heart, and draw them toward You and toward one another with respect and kindness. Guide their next steps and let them know Your nearness each day. Amen.

 

[EnricoLange]

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

 

[Antitypogeo]

Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Wernad]

May the Lord restore her family, remove all ungodly influences, and bring her daughter home. May He protect her son and fill their home with peace. In Jesus' name, Amen.

- *"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."* — Exodus 14:14
- *"The peace of God will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus."* — Philippians 4:7

 

[Spurgeon]

Your heavy burden for your household has been laid before the throne of grace, and we join you in earnest prayer to our Lord who hears the cries of His children. We have heard your pleading of the precious blood of Jesus over your family, and we stand with you upon the victory declared in Colossians 2:15, that Christ has overcome every power of darkness, and upon the promise that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world, and that the Lord Himself will fight for you as it is written in Exodus 14:14.

We do not ask God to bless what dishonors Him, for salvation is through Jesus Christ alone and His Word teaches that marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that living together outside of that covenant does not honor Him and opens the door to bondage and deception as you have rightly noted from 1 Corinthians 6:18-20. Rather we pray with you that your older daughter would be delivered from this ungodly arrangement and brought to see it clearly for what it is. We pray that the stubbornness which now holds her would be broken, that the pride and shame and pressure that blinds her would be removed, and that she would come to herself as the prodigal did in the far country.

You have described so well the waste and weariness of that far country, where the prodigal would gladly have filled his belly with husks and no man gave unto him, where the iron entered into his soul. So we pray your daughter may see the exhaustion, the financial hardship, the worthlessness and division that this path has brought, and may hear the gracious call to arise and go unto her Father. The father in the parable had a very long range of eyesight, and though the prodigal could not see him in the distance, he could see the prodigal. And when he saw him afar off, he ran and fell on his neck and kissed him in much love. Those many kisses meant much love, much forgiveness, and full restoration. Before the servants had prepared the meal, before there was music and dancing in the family, his father kissed him. So we pray your daughter will know that to return to the Lord and to the safety and love of home is not to return to condemnation but to full restoration, as if she had never gone away, with music and dancing and joy.

We pray also for the young man and his mother, not that their plans to divide and isolate would prosper, for no weapon formed against those who are in Christ shall finally stand, but that the Lord would frustrate every scheme to isolate and destroy, turn hearts, and bring conviction and correction. We ask that this mother would take up her proper responsibility for her own son rather than laying undue burdens upon your daughter, and that both would come to know the truth that sets free.

For your younger daughter we pray steadfastness. May she not be swayed by the example set before her, nor see living together outside of marriage as an acceptable path, but may she keep herself pure and seek a spouse who honors the Lord and values the sanctity of marriage, as taught in 2 Corinthians 6:14. Surround her, Lord, with godly friendships and mentors who will encourage her in Your ways, and guard the sweet bond she has with her sister and brother from divisive tactics. Keep her from ungratefulness and hatred, and strengthen her fellowship with you and with her family.

For your son we give thanks, for he is not a burden but a blessing. We pray the Lord would saturate him with peace and protection, that he would know himself cherished and accepted, and that every hateful look, word curse, and mocking influence would flee and never return to torment him. Strengthen his relationship with you, his sisters, his caregivers and extended family, and give him joy and the knowledge of Your unconditional love. May your home be a sanctuary of God's presence where love, unity and peace reign, where the peace of God which surpasses all understanding guards hearts and minds according to Philippians 4:7.

For yourself we pray courage and strength not to be afraid with any amazement, but to rest in holy patience as a true daughter of Sarah, trusting the Lord in adversity and in prayer. We pray for your health and for your daughter's health, especially for her breathing, and that the Lord would protect her body from harm and open her eyes to the danger of the environment she is in. We pray for financial provision according to Philippians 4:19, not for selfish gain but that your family may be a testimony of His provision and a blessing to others. We pray for godly spouses for your daughters in the Lord's time, men who will love as Christ loves the church and lead in righteousness according to Ephesians 5:25, men who will respect their upbringing and honor the covenant of marriage.

We pray for the complete restoration of what has been torn and wounded. As Peter was restored not by a single rebuke but by the crowing of the cock and a look from the Lord that severed him from the crowd and brought him to weeping and then to abundant assurance when Christ charged him to feed His sheep, so we pray your daughter would receive such a look of love from Christ that she would be severed from this entanglement and restored to more earnest love for Him and for her family. And as it is your duty when restored to the family to strengthen your brethren, we pray she may yet be one who strengthens her brother and sister.

May the Lord turn the heart of the children to their parents and the heart of the parents to their children as promised in Malachi 4:6, mend what has been broken, heal what has been wounded, and restore what has been lost. We plead the blood of Jesus over every member of your household and ask for the fullness of His blessing, that your family may be a beacon of His light.

We will continue to bear you up before the Lord, asking for swift deliverance, for clarity, for freedom, safety, joy and satisfaction in Christ, and for a home where fellowship is kept in love and respect. Amen.
