Family Protection

[Cralmilan]

Lord, I ask for Your Divine protection over me and my children. Protect us from the exhaustion, division, isolation, disrespect, chaos and torment that are stemming from this young man, his mother and negative influences. Lord I ask that You remove them from our lives. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over me and children. Lord, I ask that You saturate me and my children with Your peace, favor, unity and protection. The kind that surpasses all understanding. I declare that no weapon formed against us shall prosper, for greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). I declare Lord, by Your stripes my family unity, joy, fellowship, togetherness and relationship are completely healed, protected and restored forever. Lord, I ask for a ministry angels, hedge of protection, full armor over me and my children to protect us from the manifestation of the plots and scheme from this young man and his mother hatred, division, isolation and jealousy to destroy the unity of me and my family. It is difficult to see how this man disrespect our family, puts my daughter down and his mother encourage and enables this, then his mother tries to be the hero and ungodly mentors my daughter telling her to forgive him. This has been going on for years. Lord, I ask for Your divine intervention to remove the stubborn hold, the false obligaton this man and this mother has on her. Jesus, I ask for a special anointment of protection over my daughter today. Guide her to put You first in her life again, follow the biblical teachings, to honor her parent and be grateful for her jobs. Lord, have mercy upon her and guide her to block these people negative influences as I am witness now that it is negatively affecting her jobs, her relationship with our family and all aspect of her life. Lord restore my daughter's graceous humble personality and not project this young man authoritative, disrespectful, hateful personality toward her family. Lately my older daughter has be projecting this young man authoritative, disrespectful and ungrateful behaviors toward me and her work to please this young man and his mother. It is hurtful to witness this because she was alway graceous, grateful, thankful, polite, humble, charitable and follows the biblical teachings. Lord, I pray that my daughter will focus on her work, respect, honor her parent again and follow the biblical teachings. Lord, take away the authority, control, divisive and isolation this young man and his mother has upon my older daughter. Lord protect her workplace and keep this jealous disruptive woman and her son away from her workplace. I pray my older daughter will stop putting this young man and his mother before her supportive family, job and her faith. My older daughter could sometime be very distance toward me and her siblings to gain acceptance from this young man and his mother. These people will use divisive tactics to cause division between her brother and her younger sister just to prove to this young man and his mother that she would do anything for them and they are her new family but she is not married to the young man. My daughter demand that our family to obey her new family. She is not even married to his young man. She demand my younger daughter to look up to the disrespectful cunning young man. I don't understand this Lord. Please protect my younger daughter from these jealous people keep her away from these people. Now that she is living closer to her school they are preying on her good character. Please Lord block this young man and his mother from my children. This stubborn ungodly hold they have upon older daughter is changing her Godly personality and disobeying the Biblical teachings. The loyality this young man's mother demand to have over me is ungodly. Her jealousy, disrespect and hatred toward me. This woman always criticizes and mocks my parenting and me praying for my children. She encourages my daughters humiliate and disrespect me. Lord show this woman You are God and frustrate and block her influence in my children life. Let her focus on fixing her own children and release my children from these people. Lord, I ask that You have mercy upon my older daughter and gently guide her back to the biblical teachings and out of this toxic relationship with this young man and living environment with these people. It breaks my heart to see her so blinded and corrupted by these people. Break these stubborn chains and restore the years these people have stolen from our lives. Lord, I ask that You remove this young man, his mother and anyone else away from me and my children that have causes havoc in my family unity, division/isolation/chaos in my family, disrespect and mockery to our faith and my son disablities. Lord I ask for Your ministry angels, hedge of protection and full armor to shield us for all division, exhaustion, chaos, isolation, jealousy, negative influence and spiritual attacks. I pray that me and my family will have safe travel, let us be a beacon of Your light everywhere we go and everything we do. I pray Lord that we will all have a blessed day today and night fill will Your peace, favor, joy, protection, love, fellowship and satisfaction. The kind that surpasses all understanding. Fill us with the Holy Spirit and remove all darkness in our path and saturate and anoint our surrounding with Your light. Lord, gently remove my older daughter swiftly from this toxic ungodly relationship she is entangled in. Lord, direct my older daughter to stop ignoring the red flags in this relationship and to stop treating this lifestyle living together outside of marriage as a marriage. This situation has opened the door to deception, manipulation, financial exploitation, and spiritual bondage. Lord I ask that You remove this young man's rebellion, hateful, control, brainwashing and ungodly influence over my older daughter. I pray that her eyes would be opened to the truth, that this young man is not her husband, he is not her God, he is not her father, he is not her financial advisor nor is he ready for the responsibilities of marriage. The burden she carries for him is not hers to bear, and I ask the Lord to remove the false sense of obligation and committment that has been placed upon her. Lord remind her she is a child of the Most High God, she is not homeless, she has a supportive family and she must not obey or look up to his man and his family. She does not have to change her faith to please his mother or give up the church she attended. Direct her back to her church family. Lord, I ask for Your divine intervention to direct my older daugther to not put this young man and his family, their believes before You, her supportive family you have blessed her with, the faith she was raise to follow and her purposeful job. Thank You Lord for granting my older daughter the well deserved purposeful promotion this month. Lord I ask that she will see clearly that this man is not ready for marriage and he is not her significant other. Gently remove her from this toxic bondage with this man, swiftly. Please pray for the overreach and disrespect of this young man’s mother toward me and the way I raise my children. Block her from advicing my daughter to live together and now to have kids before marriage. She has no authority to act as a parent in my daughter’s life, giving her ungodly directions and her jealousy and manipulation are rooted in pride, arrogance and selfishness. This woman’s influence is toxic, and I pray that the Lord would expose her motives and frustrate every plan she has to divide. isolate or corrupt our family. My daughter is not homeless, nor is she in need of this woman’s approval and guidance. Teach my daughter to not buy into this woman's manipulation. My daughter has a loving supportive family who has raised her in the ways of the Lord, and I pray that the Lord would break the hold of pride, manipulation, brainwashing and false committment that keeps her from seeing the truth. Father, I pray for your divine intervention in this situation. I ask that You would frustrate every plot, scheme, and plan of the enemy to isolate, divide, and destroy my family relationships. I ask for removal of division, manipulation, control, and witchcraft that has sought to infiltrate our home. Lord I ask that You completely remove any generational curse, word curse, and negative influence. I plead the blood of Jesus over me and my family, covering us with Your protection, peace, and favor. For my older daughter, I pray that You would gently guide her back home, not with regret, but with a deep sense of freedom, peace, and restoration. Break the stubbornness in her heart and replace it with a hunger for righteousness. Remove the blinders from her eyes so she can see the toxicity of this relationship and the exploitation she has endured. I pray that she would no longer defend this young man, want to live with this you man outside of marriage or take on undue responsibilities that are not hers. Father, open her eyes to the harm this environment is causing her health, her finances, her relationships and her future. This man has cause her financial hardship because she is financially taking care of him. I pray his father will intervene to stop his wife and son's manipulation and direct his son to move back home alone. Protect my daughter Lord from moving deeper into this ungodly situation, and lead her back to a place of safety, stability, and wisdom. For my younger daughter, I pray that she would remain steadfast in her faith and not be swayed by the ungodly example and lifestyle. Protect her heart from the divisive tactics of this young man my older daughter is living with and his mother. Lord, put a hedge of protection over my younger daughter and block this young man and his family from her life. Lord, thank You blessing my daughter's bright future and I pray for Your protection over her studies, her health and her faith. Let her stay humble and to honor her parent and be thankful for the family God has bless her with. Surround her with family, 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, many she never listen to this young man and his mother or negative influences but instead, may she seek a spouse who honors You and values the sanctity of marriage (2 Corinthians 6:14). Lord, keep her bright and remove all darkness. For my son with ###, Lord shine Your bright light in every dark spaces and grant him the peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord I dedicate our home to You, I ask that You anoint every room, every door, every window, every hallway, of our home and all corners of our property. Lord I ask that You restore his progress from last week with no more setbacks only victory and success. Thank You Lord for blessing him with a peaceful night last night. Jesus grant myself, my family, caregivers, doctors and care team with wisdom as we are working to bring out the best in him daily. I pray that my son will alway feel and be loved, acceptance, included nd protected in every aspect of his life. May he never feel like a burden or an embarrassment, but rather a blessing, as he truly is. I rebuke every spirit of hatred, mockery, and exclusion that has been directed toward him. I declare that his life is valuable and that he is deeply loved by You. Protect him from the harmful words and attitudes of this young man and his mother, and saturate my son with Your peace and joy. Grant him Your patience and the wisdom to use his funtional language and Godly manner to express his wants and needs. I pray he will be a beacon of Your light everywhere he goes and everything he does. Lord I ask that You will restore the loving, kind and beautiful relationship he had with his sister. Lord completely restore his peace, joy, freedom and happiness. Lord, I pray for strength, wisdom, and discernment. The enemy seeks to wear you down with worry, put me down, build fear, and division, but I declare that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). I pray 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 God’s provision (Philippians 4:19). I also pray for godly spouses for 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). Father, I ask that You would restore the relationships that have been strained and broken by the enemy’s schemes. Mend what has been torn, heal what has been wounded, and restore what has been lost. May me and my family be a beacon of Your light, drawing others to the love and grace found only in You. I declare that these people plans will not stand. Every scheme to divide, isolate, corrupt, and destroy my family will fail, for the Lord fights for us (Exodus 14:14). i pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen

 

[Articles]

We join with you in lifting your family before the throne of grace and we hear the deep burden you carry for your children and for the unity of your home. Your desire for protection, peace, and restoration is righteous and we stand with you in Jesus' name, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is a blessing to see you pleading the blood of Jesus Christ over your family.

We affirm your stand for the sanctity of your home and we want to speak clearly about what you have discerned. Your older daughter living together with this young man outside of marriage as if married is not in alignment with biblical principles. Scripture calls sex before and outside of marriage fornication and it is sin before God. 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. Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers, Hebrews 13:4. What you described as living together outside of marriage opens the door to deception, manipulation, financial exploitation and spiritual bondage, just as you have seen with exhaustion, division, isolation and disrespect. We also affirm that a boyfriend or girlfriend relationship should be considered courtship with the goal being marriage to another Christian believer. Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity, 2 Corinthians 6:14. We pray for a godly spouse for your daughters in the Lord's timing, a man who will love her as Christ loved the church, Ephesians 5:25, and who will honor the covenant of marriage as God intended.

We also hear your pain regarding the disrespect and dishonoring of parents that has entered your home. God commands children to honor their father and mother, Ephesians 6:1, Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. Honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, Ephesians 6:2, and Honor your father and your mother, Exodus 20:12. When a daughter is taught to put a young man and his mother before her own supportive family, before her faith and before her work, and when she is encouraged to demand obedience from her siblings to this new ungodly authority, that is division and control that God does not honor. We rebuke that spirit of manipulation, jealousy, pride and control, and the ungodly counsel that encourages fornication and having children before marriage.

At the same time we stand on the promises of God for your protection. No weapon that is formed against you will prevail, Isaiah 54:17. You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world, 1 John 4:4. The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them, Psalm 34:7. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust, Psalm 91:1. We pray for that hedge of protection like Job had, Job 1:10, and for the full armor of God to shield you, Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil, Ephesians 6:11. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:6.

We pray together now.

Father in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before You and we plead the blood of Jesus over this dear mother, her older daughter, her younger daughter and her son. Lord, saturate this home with Your peace, favor, unity and protection. Place Your ministry angels around them and anoint every room, every door, every window, every hallway and every corner of their property with Your light and remove all darkness. We ask for a hedge of protection and the full armor of God over each of them to block every plot, scheme, word curse, generational curse and spiritual attack of division, isolation, chaos, jealousy and torment stemming from this young man, his mother and other negative influences. Frustrate every plan of the enemy to divide and destroy this family, for Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still, Exodus 14:14.

Lord, we especially lift up the older daughter. Have mercy upon her and open her eyes to see the truth. Remove the blinders, break the stubborn chains, the false obligation and false commitment that keeps her bound. Remind her that this young man is not her husband, not her father, not her God and not her covering, and that the burden she carries to financially provide for him is not hers to bear. Show her clearly that he is not ready for the responsibilities of marriage and that living together outside of marriage is fornication that dishonors You. Grant her repentance and a hunger for righteousness, guide her to put You first again, to return to the church family where she was raised in the ways of the Lord, to honor her parents, to be grateful for her purposeful work and promotion You have so graciously given her. Lead her to block these negative influences and to swiftly come out from this toxic and ungodly entanglement into safety, stability and wisdom. Protect her workplace and keep this jealous and disruptive influence away from it. Restore her gracious, humble, thankful and charitable personality.

Father, we lift up the younger daughter who is now living closer to her school. Put a hedge of protection over her studies, her health and her faith. Keep her steadfast, humble and honoring to her parents. Surround her with godly friendships and mentors who will encourage her in Your ways and protect her heart from divisive tactics and from ever seeing living together outside of marriage as acceptable. May she seek a godly spouse in Your timing who honors You and values the sanctity of marriage.

Lord, we lift up the precious son. Thank You for his life, for his peaceful night and for the progress You have given him. We declare his life is valuable and deeply loved by You. We rebuke every spirit of hatred, mockery and exclusion directed toward him because of his disabilities and we ask You to shine Your bright light in every dark space, granting him peace that surpasses all understanding, joy, freedom and happiness. Grant him patience and wisdom to use functional language and godly manners to express his wants and needs. Restore the loving and beautiful relationship he had with his sister. Bless him and let him always feel loved, accepted, included and protected, never a burden but a blessing, and let him be a beacon of Your light wherever he goes. Grant wisdom to his mother, caregivers, doctors and care team to bring out the best in him daily with no more setbacks but only victory and success.

Father, we pray for this mother who is weary. Strengthen her with wisdom and discernment, guard her heart and mind with Your peace, and provide for her financially, for my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19. Help her to set healthy and biblical boundaries with love and truth, to continue in prayer and to trust You to expose motives rooted in pride and selfishness and to frustrate every plan to divide her family. We also pray for the young man and his mother, that if they do not know You, they would come to repentance and salvation, and that their overreach and disrespect would be stopped.

Lord, we dedicate this entire family and home to You. Restore the years that have been stolen, mend what has been torn, heal what has been wounded, and restore unity, joy, fellowship and togetherness completely by Your stripes. Let this family be a beacon of Your light, drawing others to Your love and grace, with safe travel and blessed days and nights filled with Your presence. We declare that no scheme to divide, isolate, corrupt or destroy this family will stand, for You fight for them. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you, James 4:7. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, Romans 12:2.

We thank You for hearing us and we trust You to gently and swiftly deliver and restore. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ our Savior and Redeemer we pray, amen.

We hear how heavy this has been for you, carrying love and worry for your children over so many years while feeling exhausted and divided at home. Wanting protection, peace and unity for them is a good and faithful desire, and we are standing with you in it.

What you describe with your older daughter is especially painful, watching someone you raised to be gracious and grateful seem distant and pulled in a different direction, while you also want to shield your younger daughter and your son. Loving well in that tension often means learning where your responsibility ends and another adult's begins. A boundary is simply like a property line around what God has entrusted to you, your home, your time, your words, and the care of the children still under your roof. It does not force another person to change, but it keeps your home steadier and lets you stay connected without carrying a weight that is not yours to carry. It also helps you keep saying yes and no clearly and kindly.

It may help to choose one or two quiet, consistent boundaries for your home and for your younger children's contact, write them down, and walk through them with a trusted pastor or counselor who knows your family and can support you week by week.

Father, we bring this mother and her children before You in Jesus' name. Cover them with Your peace and protection, guard their home and their travels, give this mom wisdom and rest, and gently lead her older daughter toward clarity, safety and a hunger for what is good. Keep her younger daughter and her son safe and surrounded by godly care. Restore what has been strained in this family in Your time and way. Amen.

I prayed with you for this, in Jesus' powerful Name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer for your household has been laid before the Lord, and I join my heart with yours in carrying it to the throne of grace. I hear the heaviness of these years, the exhaustion and division, the grief of watching a beloved daughter drawn away from the ways she was taught, and the pain of seeing disrespect enter where once there was gratitude and humility. The Lord knows the sorrows of a family, for He has set Himself to be the dwelling place of His people in all generations, and He pities His children as a father pities his own.

We do not look to our own strength for deliverance, for deliverance from sin and from every dark influence is solely by the power of God. It is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy. He alone brings forth His people, and when the Lamb was slain the way was opened. He has found a ransom, and therefore the deliverance is certain, for God Himself has proclaimed it. The prisoner ready to go down to the pit is not left there, because the King's own Son has borne the penalty. In that truth we rest. What you cannot break, He can break. What you cannot remove, He can remove in His own time and way.

I pray with you that the Lord will set a hedge about you and your children, and cause His angels to encamp round about you, and clothe you in the whole armor of God, that you may stand against every scheme to divide and isolate and corrupt. May the peace of God which passes all understanding guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and keep your home as a place of prayer where every need of the household is spread before Him. There is great mercy in a family that prays together and mentions each child by name before the Lord.

For your older daughter I pray with special tenderness. The Lord calls His children to honor father and mother, to walk in purity, and to reserve the union of living together and the privileges of marriage for the covenant of marriage itself, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman before God. To treat living together outside of marriage as if it were marriage is not the path of blessing, but opens the door to deception, manipulation, financial hardship and spiritual bondage. I do not ask God to bless what He has not ordained, but I do ask Him to open her eyes, to remove the false sense of obligation and commitment that binds her, and to show her that she is not without a home nor without a family who loves her, and above all that she is a child of the Most High God through faith in Jesus Christ alone, for there is no other name by which we are saved. May the Lord gently break the stubborn chains, take away the blinding influence, and restore to her a humble and gracious spirit, a love for His Word, for His church, and for the work He has given her. May she see that this young man is not her husband, not her head, not her father, and not to be obeyed as such, and may she be given courage to step out of this entanglement into a place of safety and wisdom. I pray also for this young man and his mother, that the Lord would frustrate every divisive and proud plan, expose what is hidden, and bring them also to see their need of Christ and repentance, for our desire is not their harm but their salvation and that they trouble your household no more.

For your younger daughter I pray that the Lord will keep her steadfast, guard her studies, her health and her faith, and surround her with godly friendships and mentors who will encourage her in the way of the Lord. May she never be swayed to think that living together outside of marriage is an acceptable path, but may she in due time, if the Lord wills, be joined to a man who loves Christ and will love her as Christ loves the church and honor the covenant as God intended. Put a hedge about her, O Lord, and keep her from the preying influences that would draw her away.

For your dear son I pray that the Lord will shine His light into every dark place, grant him peace and joy, and cause him to know himself beloved and not a burden. The Lord values his life deeply, and so do you. May He rebuke every spirit of hatred, mockery and exclusion directed toward him, grant him functional language to express his needs, restore what has been wounded in his relationship with his sister, and continue the progress you have seen, with no more setbacks but only His kindness day by day. Give wisdom to you and to all who care for him, his caregivers and doctors, that you may bring out the best in him for the glory of God.

For yourself, I pray that the Lord who has chastened you sorely will also be your song of deliverance. You have declared that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and that greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world, and this is true. The Lord fights for you. You need only be still and trust Him. May He provide for your financial needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus, not for selfish gain but that your family may be a blessing and a testimony of His provision. May He give you strength and discernment, and keep you from being worn down with worry and fear.

Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our only Savior and Redeemer, we plead His blood over this family. Deliver them from the power of darkness and translate them more fully into the kingdom of Thy dear Son. Bring forth this household with enrichment, as Thou didst bring Israel forth with silver and gold, and let this trial end in a testimony. May they yet say, we shall not die but live and declare the works of the Lord, and may their home be a beacon of Thy light wherever they go. Restore what the years have stolen, mend what has been torn, heal what has been wounded, and let Thy Holy Spirit saturate every room and every heart with light. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been heard and we join you in bringing your family before the Lord with deep care and compassion. We see the exhaustion and division you have carried, the hurt of watching your older daughter pulled away, and the burden you bear for your younger daughter and your son, and we lift all of this to Christ who alone is our Savior and Redeemer.

We pray with you for divine protection over you and your children. We plead the blood of Jesus Christ over your home and ask the Lord to surround you with His hedge of protection, His ministering angels and the full armor of God, that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. For greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

For your older daughter we pray especially for clarity, freedom and restoration. Scripture teaches that marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that living together and sexual union belong within that covenant. To treat living together outside of marriage as if it were marriage is not God's design, and as you have rightly discerned, it opens the door to deception, manipulation, financial exploitation and spiritual bondage. We do not ask God to bless that arrangement, we ask Him to lead her out of it. We pray that the Lord would open her eyes to see that this young man is not her husband, not her father and not her head, that the false sense of obligation she carries is not hers to bear, and that she would be released from control, stubbornness and confusion. May her faith make her whole, and may she remember that she is a daughter of the Most High, that she has a supportive family, a purposeful work that God has blessed, and a church family to return to. We pray that God would restore her gracious, humble, grateful and charitable character, that she would again honor her parents, be thankful for her work, and hunger for righteousness and the biblical teachings in which she was raised.

We also pray concerning the influence of this young man and his mother. We ask the Lord to frustrate every divisive and isolating scheme, to expose motives rooted in pride and selfishness, and to block every plan to divide your children from one another and from you. We pray that this mother would cease to speak into your daughter's life as if she held parental authority, and that she would be turned to care for her own household. We ask God to show His power by breaking the hold of manipulation and false commitment, and to draw your daughter back to wisdom, stability and safety, not with regret but with freedom and peace.

For your younger daughter we pray for steadfastness. May the Lord put a hedge of protection over her studies, her health and her faith as she lives near her school, and keep her from being swayed by ungodly example. May she remain humble, honor her parents, and be surrounded by godly friendships and mentors who encourage her in the ways of the Lord, that she would seek a spouse who honors Christ and values the sanctity of marriage and not be unequally yoked.

For your son we thank God for his life and declare his great value and dignity before the Lord. We rebuke every spirit of hatred, mockery and exclusion directed toward him and pray that he would always feel loved, accepted, included and protected. We ask the Lord to shine His light in every dark place, to grant him peace and joy, to restore his progress and grant him continued victory and success, and to give you, his caregivers, doctors and care team wisdom to bring out the best in him each day. May the loving bond between him and his sisters be restored.

For you we pray for strength, wisdom and discernment as you continue as a pattern of modesty, virtue and orderliness in your home. Nothing is more pleasurable than virtue and nothing sweeter than a home ordered by the fear of God. Continue to commit this matter into His hands and beseech Christ to be present in your home, for He delights to be sought in such decisions, especially in the matter of marriage. Seek not money or outward splendor for your daughters, but piety of soul, gentleness and the fear of God, and trust Him to provide godly spouses who will love as Christ loves the church and honor the covenant of marriage.

We dedicate your home to the Lord anew and ask Him to anoint every room, door, window and corner of your property, to fill it with the Holy Spirit and to remove all darkness with His light. We pray for financial provision to flow into your home according to His riches, not for selfish gain but so your family may be a blessing to others. We pray for safe travel and that your family would be a beacon of His light in all you do. We declare that every scheme to divide, isolate, corrupt and destroy your family will fail, for the Lord fights for you.

May the Lord deliver you from evil and bring you into the full blessing of adoption as His children through Jesus Christ, in whom alone is salvation, and may He mend what has been torn, heal what has been wounded, and restore the years that have been stolen. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your love for your children and your faithfulness in praying for them comes through so clearly, and the burden you are carrying is heavy. It is painful to watch a child you raised to love the Lord and to honor her family become distant, disrespectful, and entangled in a relationship that pulls her away from those foundations. God sees what you are enduring, He hears your cries, and He is able to protect, to restore, and to bring peace that goes beyond what we can understand.

Scripture teaches that God Himself puts a protection around His people. As with Job, there is a hedge that the enemy cannot cross unless God permits it, and He gives His angels charge over you to guard you. When you plead the blood of Jesus and put on the full armor of God, you are asking for what God has already promised to provide, a shield around you, your daughters and your son, against division, manipulation, exhaustion and every scheme meant to isolate and wear you down. Continue to ask Him to guard your home, every room and every heart within it, and to let His light fill every dark place.

For your older daughter, your discernment is right. Living together outside of marriage is not marriage in God's eyes, and it is not to be treated as if it were. Marriage is a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and intimacy and shared life belong within that covenant. Outside of that covering, what looks like commitment often becomes a false sense of obligation that leads to confusion, financial hardship, spiritual bondage and the taking on of burdens God never intended her to carry. This young man is not her husband, not her father, and not her spiritual head, and she does not owe him the loyalty and obedience that belong to the Lord and, in due time, to a godly husband.

Pray that God will gently open her eyes, remove the blinders, and break the hold that keeps her defending and providing for a relationship that is harming her health, her finances, her work and her fellowship with family. Like God called Jacob to return to the land of his family with the promise that He would be with him and deal well with him, pray that the Lord will call her back to Himself first, and then back to the family and church family who love her and raised her in His ways. A life lived in the midst of a corrupt and ungodly environment, even when a person has a strong background, will in time cost much in terms of family and moral clarity, as it did for Lot. Pray that she will hunger again for righteousness, honor her parents as Scripture commands, be grateful for the purposeful work God has given her, and see that she is not homeless or without support but is a daughter of the Most High with a loving family to come home to.

For the influence of this young man and his mother, it is right to pray that God would frustrate every divisive and jealous plan and block their ability to isolate, control and corrupt. They have no God given authority to direct your daughter away from her faith, to advise her to live together or to have children before marriage, or to mock your parenting and your prayers. Ask the Lord to expose what is rooted in pride and selfishness and to cause their efforts to divide your family to fail, for the Lord fights for you and no weapon formed against you will prosper. At the same time, pray that God would work in their hearts to turn from manipulation and to take responsibility for their own household.

For your younger daughter, pray for that same hedge of protection to remain around her studies, her health and her faith. Ask that God will surround her with godly friendships and mentors who encourage her in the Lord, keep her humble and thankful, and help her to see clearly that she is not to be unequally yoked but to one day seek a spouse who honors Christ and values the sanctity of marriage. Pray that she will not be swayed by the example she sees, but will hold fast to what she has been taught.

For your son, be assured that his life is precious and deeply loved by God. He is not a burden or an embarrassment, he is a blessing. Pray that the Lord will rebuke every word of hatred, mockery and exclusion spoken over him, saturate him with peace and joy, grant him patience and help him use the language God has given him to express his needs in a godly way, and restore the sweet fellowship he once shared with his sister. Thank God for the peaceful nights and the progress you have seen, and ask Him to continue to give wisdom to you, your family, caregivers and medical team as you bring out the best in him each day.

For yourself, ask for the peace of God which surpasses all understanding to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus, so that worry and fear do not wear you down. God promises to supply what you need, not for selfish gain but so your family can be a testimony of His provision and a blessing to others. Ask Him for strength, wisdom and discernment, and for godly husbands for your daughters in His timing, men who will love them as Christ loves the church and lead them in righteousness.

Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we ask You to cover this mother and her children with Your protection, peace and favor. Place Your hedge around them and command Your angels to guard them from every form of division, control and spiritual attack. Open the eyes of the older daughter to see the truth about this relationship, break the false commitment and financial bondage, and gently lead her out of this entanglement and back to You, to her family and to her church. Guard the younger daughter and the son from harmful influence and keep their hearts steadfast. Frustrate every plan meant to divide this family, heal what has been wounded, restore what has been stolen, and let this home be a beacon of Your light. We declare that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world, and that You fight for Your people. Fill this family with the Holy Spirit, anoint their home with Your presence, and grant them safe travels, joyful fellowship and rest filled with Your love. Amen.
