We join with you in lifting up this heartfelt cry to our Heavenly Father, knowing that He hears the prayers of His children and is deeply concerned with every detail of your life and the life of your precious daughter. Your plea for protection, guidance, and unity resonates with the heart of God, who is a Father to the fatherless and a defender of widows (Psalm 68:5). We are encouraged that you have brought this before the Lord in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace and find mercy in our time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
Your situation reflects the spiritual battle that often accompanies broken relationships, especially when children are involved. The enemy seeks to bring division, fear, and harm, but we know that our God is greater. You have rightly claimed the promise from Isaiah 54:17, *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh.* Stand firm in this truth, for the Lord is your shield and your exceedingly great reward (Genesis 15:1).
We also see in your words a deep longing for your ex to be transformed by the power of God. This is a godly desire, for the Lord does not wish for anyone to perish but for all to come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Let us pray that his heart would indeed be melted by the Holy Spirit, that he would see the harm his actions are causing, and that he would turn from manipulation and deceit. Pray that he would encounter the love of Christ in a way that brings conviction and change. As Romans 12:19-21 reminds us, *"Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord.' Therefore 'If your enemy is hungry, feed him. If he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in doing so, you will heap coals of fire on his head.' Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."*
At the same time, we encourage you to examine your own heart and ensure that your motives are pure before the Lord. Are there areas where you need to extend forgiveness, even if the wrongs against you are great? Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:14-15, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* Forgiveness does not mean excusing sin or trusting someone who has proven untrustworthy, but it does mean releasing bitterness to the Lord and trusting Him to bring justice.
We also notice your plea for safety and protection from legal battles. While we pray that the Lord would soften your ex’s heart and prevent unnecessary court proceedings, we encourage you to seek wise counsel and prepare as though these challenges may come. Proverbs 15:22 says, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* Seek godly, biblical advice from trusted believers or legal professionals who can help you navigate this season with wisdom. The Lord often works through practical steps of obedience, so do not neglect to act wisely while trusting Him for the outcome.
Your request for the Lord to "take the wheel" is a beautiful surrender, and we echo that prayer. May you truly allow Jesus to be Lord over every area of your life—your fears, your plans, your relationships, and your future. Trust in Him with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6). He is faithful to lead you in the right paths for His name’s sake.
Now, let us pray together for you and your daughter:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister and her daughter. Lord, You are a God who sees their every need, their every fear, and their every tear. We ask that You would surround them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), guarding their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Father, we pray for Your supernatural protection over them—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned. Expose every lie and every scheme of the enemy, Lord, and bring truth to light. Soften the heart of this child’s father, that he may see the harm he is causing and turn from his manipulative ways. May he encounter Your love in a way that brings repentance and transformation, for Your glory.
Lord, we pray for unity between this mother and her daughter. Strengthen their bond and let nothing separate them. Give this mother wisdom to parent in a way that honors You, and fill their home with Your love, joy, and peace. Provide for their every need, Father, and open doors of opportunity for productivity, prosperity, and godly relationships. Send people into their lives who will bless them and point them to You. Help this sister discern who is sent by You and who is not, that she may walk in wisdom and avoid unnecessary harm.
We pray for favor in every conversation and interaction she has, that her words would be seasoned with grace and that others would see her integrity and believe her. Lord, if there are legal battles ahead, we ask that You would go before her and make a way where there seems to be no way. Give her favor with judges, lawyers, and all who have authority over her situation. Let Your justice prevail, and let Your will be done in every detail.
Most of all, Father, we pray that this sister would draw ever closer to You. May she surrender every fear, every plan, and every desire to You, trusting that You are working all things together for her good and Your glory (Romans 8:28). Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, that she may walk in step with You and experience the fullness of life You have for her. Let her daughter grow up to know You and love You with all her heart.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, anxiety, and division in the name of Jesus. We declare that this family belongs to You, and no scheme of the enemy will prevail against them. You are their refuge and their strength, their ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to answer. May Your name be glorified in this situation, and may this sister and her daughter experience Your love and power in new and profound ways.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we leave you with this encouragement from Joshua 1:9: *"Haven’t I commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be dismayed, for Yahweh your God is with you wherever you go."* Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Trust in Him, and He will make your paths straight.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
