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 (my older daughter's boyfriend), his mother and negative influences. Lord, I ask that You remove them from our lives. Lord, I ask that You keep this corrupted young man and his mother away from my younger daughter so she can focus on her school and her courtship. I pray that she will not be influence by these people. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over me and children. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. 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 stand with you in prayer for your family and we hear the deep burden you carry for your children and for the unity of your home. We join you in pleading the blood of Jesus Christ over you and your children and we ask the Lord to surround you with His peace and protection.

We affirm what you have rightly discerned about your older daughter's situation. Living together outside of marriage is not marriage in the eyes of God, it is fornication, and it opens the door to deception, manipulation, financial exploitation and spiritual bondage. The Word tells us in Hebrews 13:4 that marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral. We are also told in 1 Corinthians 6:18 to flee sexual immorality. A boyfriend is not a husband, he is not a father, he is not a spiritual covering, and a courtship should be a purposeful season seeking a godly spouse who is a fellow believer with the goal of lifelong marriage between a man and a woman, not a convenient living arrangement. We also hear your pain that this young man and his mother have encouraged disrespect toward you and toward biblical teaching, and have sought to replace your godly parental authority with ungodly counsel. Scripture is clear in Exodus 20:12 and Ephesians 6:1-3 that children are to honor their father and mother, and in 2 Corinthians 6:14 that we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. When a young woman is pulled to honor another family above her own parents and above the Lord, to defend disrespect and to treat an unmarried cohabitation as if it were a covenant, that is a stubborn and false obligation that must be broken.

We also lift up your younger daughter and we praise God for her desire to focus on her schooling and on a godly courtship. We pray a hedge of protection around her heart and mind that she would not be swayed by this ungodly example. May she remain steadfast and seek a spouse who honors the Lord and values the sanctity of marriage as taught in Ephesians 5:25. And we lift up your precious son. We rebuke every spirit of mockery, hatred and exclusion that has been directed toward him because of his disabilities. His life is fearfully and wonderfully made in Psalm 139:14, he is deeply loved and valued by God, and he is a blessing to your family, never a burden.

We pray together now.

Father in heaven, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace and we lift this mother and her children to You. Lord, we thank You that You are our refuge and fortress in Psalm 91:2 and that You give Your angels charge over us to keep us in all our ways in Psalm 91:11. We ask You to place Your ministry angels, Your hedge of protection and the full armor of God in Ephesians 6:11 around this mother, her older daughter, her younger daughter and her son. Cover their home, every room, every door, every window, every hallway and every corner of their property with Your light and drive out all darkness.

Lord, we declare Your promise in Isaiah 54:17 that no weapon that is formed against us will prosper, and in 1 John 4:4 that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world. We ask You to frustrate and expose every plot, scheme and divisive tactic of the enemy meant to bring exhaustion, chaos, isolation, jealousy and torment through this young man and his mother. Remove every generational curse, word curse and ungodly influence, and break the stubborn chains, the manipulation, control and false sense of commitment that holds the older daughter. Open her eyes to see the truth clearly, that this man is not her husband, not her covering, and not ready for the responsibilities of marriage, and that the burden she carries to financially support him is not hers to bear.

Father, gently guide her back to You first, back to biblical teaching, back to honoring her parents and back to her church family. Restore her gracious, humble, thankful and charitable spirit. Convict her to turn from fornication and from treating cohabitation as marriage, to flee what is ungodly and to walk in righteousness. Protect her workplace and her finances, restore what has been stolen, and lead her to swiftly and peacefully separate from this toxic and ungodly living environment. We pray that the father of this young man would intervene with wisdom and direct his son to return to his own home alone. We pray that this mother who has overreached, criticized and mocked godly parenting and encouraged disrespect, would be blocked from speaking into this daughter's life, and that her pride, arrogance and jealousy would be exposed and would fail. Let her focus on her own household and release this family.

Lord, we place a special anointing of protection over the younger daughter. Keep her bright, keep darkness far from her, guard her studies, her health and her faith. Surround her with godly friendships and mentors who will encourage her in the ways of the Lord and protect her from being preyed upon because of her good character. Help her to stay humble, to honor her parents and to see clearly that living together before marriage is never an acceptable path.

Father, shine Your bright light upon this dear son. Grant him Your peace that surpasses all understanding in Philippians 4:7 to guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Restore his progress, grant him victory without setback, bless his nights with peace and his days with joy, freedom and happiness. Give wisdom to his mother, caregivers, doctors and care team to bring out the best in him daily. Let him always feel loved, accepted, included and protected, and restore the loving and beautiful relationship he once had with his sister.

Lord, strengthen this mother who is weary. When the enemy seeks to wear her down with worry and fear, let Your peace guard her heart. Provide for every financial need according to Your riches in glory in Philippians 4:19 so that her family may be a blessing to others. Heal and restore the unity, joy, fellowship and togetherness of this family that has been torn. You promise in Exodus 14:14 that You will fight for us, and we trust You to mend what has been torn, heal what has been wounded and restore what has been lost. May this family be a beacon of Your light everywhere they go.

We pray for godly spouses for these daughters in Your perfect timing, men who will love them as Christ loves the church and who will lead them in righteousness and honor the covenant of marriage as You intended. We thank You for the promotion You have already granted and we ask that You would help this older daughter steward it faithfully for Your glory.

We ask all of this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved in Acts 4:12, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father in John 14:6. Amen.

We hear how heavy and long this has been for you, watching exhaustion and division settle into your home while you love your daughters and your son so deeply. It is painful to love your older daughter and at the same time feel you must protect your own heart, your younger daughter's focus on school, and your son's peace.

We are praying for God's covering over you and your children, for calm in your home and wisdom for each decision you face. One insight that helps many parents in a season like this is that love and limits can go together. A boundary is simply a property line that names what is yours to care for, your home, your time, your values and responsibilities, and leaves what belongs to another with them. It does not force another person to change, but it does keep you free to say a clear yes or a clear no and to keep your home a place of respect and safety while you continue to love your daughter.

It may help to sit down soon with a trusted pastor or counselor who knows you, and think through one or two steady, kind boundaries for your home, for visits, and for how your younger daughter is supported, and who can stand with you as you keep them. You do not have to carry or sort this alone.

Father, we lift this mother and her children to You. Surround them with Your peace and protection, guard their home, their travels and their work, and give this mother daily wisdom and strength. Gently guide her older daughter toward clarity, safety and freedom, keep her younger daughter steady in her studies and faith, and pour Your joy and calm over her son. Draw this family into supportive community and restore what has been strained, in Jesus' name, amen.

[Spurgeon]

We have brought your burden before the Lord with you, and we join our prayers to yours for divine protection over you and your children.

The Lord hears the cry of a parent who pleads the blood of Jesus over her household. There is a way of deliverance which God Himself has invented, not of man. He has found a ransom, and that ransom is Christ Jesus our Lord. When any heart says, I have sinned and perverted that which was right, He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. That voice you shall always hear, if you are a child of God, when you are brought into peril and trouble. God has given commandment to save you and you shall be saved, saved from yourself and from all the attacks of the enemy. The clock of mercy strikes in heaven the hour and moment of deliverance, for the eternal purpose of Jehovah has decreed it.

We pray with you that the Lord will set a hedge of protection and place His ministering angels round about you, your younger daughter, your son, and your older daughter, and anoint your home, every room and door and window, with His light, that all darkness may be driven out and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding may guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.

We do not ask God to bless what He calls outside His holy will. His Word teaches that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone, and that marriage is the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that living together apart from that covenant is not marriage. Such a path opens the door to deception, manipulation, financial hardship and spiritual bondage, as you have so painfully witnessed. Therefore we pray not for the strengthening of that entanglement, but for deliverance from it. We pray that He who has delivered us from the power of darkness would deliver your older daughter from the fascinating power of sin, from the authority and control and false obligation that now binds her, from the pride and manipulation that would isolate her from her family and from the church where she was raised. May the Lord frustrate every plot and scheme to divide, isolate and destroy your family, and expose what is rooted in selfishness and pride. May He open her eyes to see that this young man is not her husband, not her head, not her father, and not one ready for the responsibilities of marriage, and that the burden she carries for him is not hers to bear. We pray that the stubborn chains would be broken, that the blinders would be removed, and that she would be gently led back to put Christ first, to honor her parents, to follow the biblical teachings in which she was raised, to be grateful again for her work and for the promotion the Lord has graciously given her, and to return to her church family with freedom and peace and restoration. We pray that her gracious, humble, thankful and charitable spirit, which you have known so well, would be restored, and that she would no longer project disrespect or ingratitude toward you or her family in order to please others.

For your younger daughter we pray for that same hedge of protection. Keep her steadfast as she lives near her school, guard her studies, her health and her faith, and keep this young man and his mother and every negative influence far from her. Surround her with godly friendships and mentors who will encourage her in the ways of the Lord. We pray that her courtship would be kept pure and would honor the Lord, seeking a spouse who honors Christ and values the sanctity of marriage, and that she would never see living together outside of marriage as an acceptable path, nor be swayed by ungodly counsel. As it is written, be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.

For your son, whom the Lord has entrusted to you as a blessing and not a burden, we pray that he would always feel loved, accepted, included and protected. We rebuke every spirit of hatred, mockery and exclusion directed toward him. His life is valuable and deeply loved by God. May the Lord shine His bright light in every dark space, grant him peace and joy, restore his progress and crown his days with victory, and restore the loving and beautiful relationship he once shared with his sister. Grant to you and to his caregivers and doctors wisdom daily to bring out the best in him and to help him use his functional language in a godly manner.

For you, we pray for strength and wisdom and discernment under this long trial. That which we receive from the rod of the Lord bears the blessed aspect of chastening from a Father's hand, and even the sharpest smart is made profitable. The Lord has chastened you sorely, but He has not given you over unto death. You shall live and declare the works of the Lord. The whole family in heaven and earth is still one undivided household in Christ, for Jesus has engraved the names of all the redeemed upon His hands and heart. As the Lord said to Noah, Come you and all your house into the ark, so we pray that your whole house would be found under that covering. When one is brought to God, that salvation may become the salvation of children and grandchildren.

We pray that the Lord would teach your older daughter to no longer defend what harms her, no longer to take on financial responsibilities that are not hers, and no longer to demand that her family obey another family to which she is not joined in marriage. We pray that the influence which criticizes your parenting and mocks your praying would be blocked, that the counsel to live together and to bear children before marriage would be shown for what it is, and that every divisive tactic used to set brother against sister would fail. The Lord fights for you, and every scheme to divide, isolate, corrupt and destroy your family will not stand.

We ask for financial provision to flow into your home, not for selfish gain, but so that your family may be a blessing to others and a testimony of God's provision. We ask for godly spouses for your daughters in the Lord's time, men who will love them as Christ loves the church and lead them in righteousness and honor the covenant of marriage. We ask for safe travel and that you and your family would be a beacon of His light everywhere you go.

Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper as you abide under the full armor of God. We pray all these things trusting not in our own confidence, but in the real work of the Spirit grasping with living tendrils the promise of the living God, through Jesus Christ our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your heartfelt cry for your family has been heard, and I join you in bringing it before the Lord who is our refuge and strength.

I pray with you for the protection, peace and unity of your household. May the Lord guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus with the peace that surpasses all understanding, and set a hedge of protection around you, your daughters and your son. I ask that He frustrate every scheme meant to bring division, exhaustion, isolation and chaos into your home, and that He restore fellowship, joy and togetherness among you. For greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world, and the Lord Himself will fight for you as you trust in Him.

I also pray with you especially for your older daughter. Scripture teaches that marriage is honorable as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that living together outside of marriage is not marriage in God's eyes. It opens the door to deception, hurt and spiritual bondage rather than blessing. I do not ask God to bless that arrangement, but I do ask Him in mercy to open her eyes to see it clearly, to break any false sense of obligation or commitment that keeps her bound, and to give her courage to turn away from what is not holy. May she remember that she is a child of God, that she has a loving family and a church home, and that she does not need to seek approval by dishonoring her parents or forsaking the faith in which she was raised. I pray that she will hunger for righteousness, honor her father and mother, steward well the purposeful work God has given her, and either separate from this entanglement or, if marriage is truly intended, pursue it only in the Lord's way, with purity, counsel and readiness for its responsibilities. May the Lord deliver her from control, manipulation and financial exploitation, and restore to her a gracious, humble and grateful spirit.

For your younger daughter, I pray that the Lord will keep her steadfast in faith, guard her studies and her health, and surround her with godly friendships and mentors who encourage her to walk in the ways of the Lord. May her courtship, if she pursues one, be kept pure and be guided by the principle of not being unequally yoked, seeking a spouse who loves Christ and honors the covenant of marriage as Christ loves the church. I ask that the Lord block every divisive and corrupting influence from reaching her, and keep her close to you and to her faith.

For your son, I pray that the Lord will shine His light upon him, grant him peace and joy, and help him to be seen and cherished as the blessing he is. May every word of mockery or exclusion be silenced, and may he know himself deeply loved by God and by his family. I ask for wisdom for you, his caregivers and his care team, and for continued progress without setback, and for the restoration of the sweet bond between him and his sister.

I pray that the Lord will give you strength, wisdom and discernment in these difficult years. Continue to keep your home dedicated to Him, to remain faithful in prayer and in fellowship with your church family, and to set loving and firm boundaries that honor God. Trust not in manipulation or control, but in the gentle work of the Holy Spirit to convict, heal and restore what has been stolen. May the Lord provide for your needs according to His riches, make your family a beacon of His light, and mend what has been torn, for salvation and restoration are found in Jesus Christ alone.

In the mighty name of Jesus our Savior and Redeemer I pray, Amen.
