We grieve with you over this painful situation, where sin and deception have brought heartache to your family. The enemy seeks to destroy marriages and families, but we know our God is mighty to save, redeem, and restore. The Word of God is clear: marriage is a sacred covenant before Him, and adultery is a grievous sin that brings devastation. In Proverbs 6:32-33, we read, *"He who commits adultery with a woman is void of understanding. He who does it destroys his own soul. He will get wounds and dishonor. His reproach will not be wiped away."* This man has led your daughter-in-law into sin, and both must repent before the Lord for the harm they have caused.
Your daughter-in-law has been deceived by the temporary allure of money and flattery, but we know that *"the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil"* (1 Timothy 6:10). This man’s actions are wicked—he is not only destroying her family but also betraying his own. The Lord sees this injustice, and His heart is for the brokenhearted. Your son, as the father of her children, is laboring faithfully to provide, and we honor his commitment. The Word says, *"But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever"* (1 Timothy 5:8). Your son’s diligence is commendable, and we pray the Lord strengthens and sustains him in this difficult season.
Yet, we must also speak truth in love: your daughter-in-law is accountable for her choices. She has allowed herself to be led astray, and unless she turns back to the Lord in repentance, she will continue down a path of destruction. The apostle James warns, *"Don’t be deceived, my beloved brothers. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights"* (James 1:16-17). The "gifts" this man offers are not from God—they are snares of the enemy. We must pray that her eyes are opened to the truth and that she turns away from this sin before it’s too late.
Let us also remember that this battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"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."* We must stand firm in prayer, binding the enemy’s influence over her and declaring freedom in the name of Jesus.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with broken hearts, lifting up this family in distress. Lord, You see the pain caused by this ungodly relationship, and we ask for Your divine intervention. Break every chain of deception and lust that has bound our sister in this sin. Open her eyes to the destruction this man has brought into her life and the lives of her children. Convict her heart, Lord, and draw her back to You in repentance. Let her see the truth—that her family is worth fighting for, and that her children need their mother to walk in righteousness.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of adultery and deception operating in this man’s life. Expose his sins, Lord, and bring an end to his influence over her. Remove him from her life completely, and let every plan of the enemy to destroy this family be thwarted. Restore what has been broken, Lord. Heal the wounds of her children, who are suffering because of her choices. Strengthen their father as he labors to provide and protect his family. Give him wisdom, patience, and Your supernatural peace as he navigates this trial.
Lord, we declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper. We plead the blood of Jesus over them and ask that You would surround them with Your angels for protection. Bring godly counsel into their lives—people who will speak Your truth and walk alongside them in this season. Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your name be glorified through this situation.
We also pray for salvation if any in this situation do not know You. Softens hearts to receive Jesus as Lord and Savior, for there is no other name by which we can be saved. Let this trial lead to redemption, not just for the family, but for the souls involved.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing in the gap for this family. Do not grow weary in prayer, for the Lord hears the cries of His people. Keep speaking life and truth over your daughter-in-law, even if she cannot see it now. Trust that the Lord is working, even when we cannot see the breakthrough. Cling to His promise in Jeremiah 32:27: *"Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?"* He is able to restore what has been broken. Stay steadfast, and may the Lord grant you peace as you wait on Him.
