We come before the Lord with heavy hearts for your daughter, lifting her up in prayer and seeking God’s intervention in this painful situation. The enemy has clearly sought to entangle her in a relationship that does not honor the Lord, and we stand firmly against the deception and manipulation she is enduring. The Word of God warns us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* Though this man may claim holiness, his actions reveal a heart far from God’s truth, and your daughter’s spirit is being crushed under the weight of his ungodly influence.
It is heartbreaking to hear how this relationship has drawn her away from the fellowship of believers and the house of the Lord. Hebrews 10:25 exhorts us, *"not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."* The fact that she has distanced herself from church is a clear sign of spiritual danger, and we must pray fervently for her restoration to the body of Christ, where she can be strengthened and encouraged in truth.
Your daughter’s struggle to leave this man, despite knowing his unkindness, reveals the deep emotional and spiritual bonds that have been formed—bonds that are not of God. Jeremiah 17:9 reminds us, *"The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?"* She is being deceived, both by this man and by her own heart, which seeks to justify staying in a relationship that dishonors her and the Lord. We must pray for the Holy Spirit to open her eyes to the truth, to break the chains of emotional dependency, and to give her the courage to walk away completely.
We also recognize that this man’s behavior is not only unkind but sinful. Ephesians 5:25 commands husbands—and by extension, men who pursue women—to *"love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it."* His manipulation and disrespect are the opposite of Christlike love, and we rebuke the spirit of control and deception operating through him. The Lord sees his actions, and we ask for justice and protection for your daughter.
Most importantly, we must address the spiritual condition of your daughter’s heart. If she is not firmly rooted in Christ, she will continue to be vulnerable to such relationships. We pray that she would surrender her heart fully to Jesus, that she would find her identity and worth in Him alone, and that she would seek a godly spouse—one who loves the Lord, cherishes her, and leads her closer to Christ. Proverbs 31:30 declares, *"Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain; but a woman who fears Yahweh, she shall be praised."* Her beauty is not just outward but is found in her fear of the Lord, and we pray she would walk in that truth.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious daughter who is trapped in the snares of the enemy. Lord, You see her pain, her confusion, and the lies that have taken root in her heart. We ask You to break every chain of deception, every bond of emotional manipulation, and every stronghold that keeps her tied to this man. Father, expose his true nature to her completely—let her see him through Your eyes, not through the lens of her emotions or his empty words.
Lord, we rebuke the spirit of control, manipulation, and false holiness operating in this man’s life. Bind his influence over her and render his schemes powerless. Restore to her the discernment and strength to walk away permanently, without looking back. Father, we ask for Your divine intervention—close every door that would allow this relationship to continue, and open her eyes to the freedom and peace that come from obedience to Your Word.
We pray also for her heart, Lord. Heal the wounds that make her vulnerable to such treatment. Fill her with Your love, Your truth, and Your purpose. Draw her back to Your house, back to the fellowship of believers where she can be nourished and strengthened. Surround her with godly counsel and friends who will speak Your truth into her life.
Father, we ask that You would place a godly desire in her heart for a husband who loves You above all else, who will cherish her as Christ cherishes the church. Let her not settle for counterfeit love but wait patiently for the man You have prepared for her—one who will lead her closer to You, not away from You.
We declare Your promises over her life, Lord. You say in Psalm 34:17-18, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* Be near to her now, Lord. Deliver her, restore her, and set her feet on the path of righteousness.
We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
To you, dear mother, we say: continue to stand in the gap for your daughter. Speak truth into her life, even when it is hard. Remind her of her worth in Christ and the freedom He offers. Encourage her to seek godly counsel, whether from a pastor or a trusted believer who can help her navigate this season. Most of all, keep praying—your prayers are powerful and effective (James 5:16). The Lord hears you, and He will act on behalf of your daughter.
Do not lose heart. The battle is the Lord’s, and He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in her. Trust in Him, and keep pointing her to Jesus, the only One who can truly satisfy her heart and set her free.
