We lift up your heartfelt concerns for your daughter and grandchildren before the Lord, knowing that He is the God of all comfort and wisdom. Mental health is indeed a real and serious matter, and we pray earnestly that your daughter’s eyes and heart would be opened to recognize her need for help. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came to give life abundantly (John 10:10). We rebuke the spirit of confusion, instability, and fear that may be influencing her decisions, and we ask the Lord to surround her with godly counsel, wisdom, and the courage to seek the help she needs.
It is clear that her actions are causing distress not only to herself but to those around her, including her children. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 11:29, *"He who troubles his own house shall inherit the wind,"* and in Proverbs 15:1, *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."* We pray that she would be convicted by the Holy Spirit to consider the well-being of her children above her own fears or struggles. Her hesitation to allow the children to spend time with their father, despite his proven care for them, is not only unfair to him but also robs the children of the love and stability they deserve. The Bible instructs us in Ephesians 6:4, *"You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."* This responsibility falls on both parents, and it is clear that your son-in-law is seeking to fulfill this role faithfully. We pray that your daughter would release her grip on control and trust that the Lord will protect her children, even as she takes steps to heal herself.
We also urge you to continue to speak truth in love to your daughter, reminding her that her actions have consequences for her children’s emotional and spiritual well-being. If she is unwilling to seek help, it may be necessary for others to intervene for the sake of the children’s stability. The Bible tells us in Galatians 6:2, *"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."* This may mean having difficult conversations, seeking pastoral guidance, or even professional intervention if her behavior continues to harm those around her.
As for your son-in-law, we pray for his strength and patience. We ask the Lord to encourage his heart as he seeks to love and parent his children well, despite the challenges. May the Lord grant him wisdom in how to navigate this situation with grace and firmness, always pointing his children—and their mother—to Christ.
Finally, we lift up your grandchildren, that the Lord would shield their hearts from the turmoil around them. May they feel His peace and know His love deeply, even in the midst of their parents’ struggles. We pray that this fall break would be a time of refreshment and joy for them, and that their mother’s heart would soften to allow it.

**Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this daughter and mother who is struggling. Lord, You know the depths of her pain and confusion, and we ask that You would break through the darkness that surrounds her mind. Convict her by Your Holy Spirit to seek the help she needs, whether through counselors, medical professionals, or godly mentors. Remove the spirit of fear and distrust that is causing her to withhold blessings from her children and their father.
Lord, we pray for her children—that You would protect their hearts and minds from the stress and instability they are witnessing. Surround them with Your peace and let them know they are deeply loved by You. We ask that You would soften their mother’s heart to release them into their father’s care for this fall break, that they may experience joy, rest, and the love of a parent who is seeking to honor You.
Father, we also lift up their father, that You would strengthen him in this season. Give him patience, wisdom, and discernment as he navigates co-parenting with a woman who is struggling. Help him to respond with grace and truth, always pointing his children—and their mother—to You.
Lord, we rebuke the enemy’s hold on this situation. We declare that You are a God of order, not confusion, and we ask that You would bring clarity, healing, and restoration to this family. Let Your will be done in their lives, and may Your name be glorified through their story.
We pray all these things in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.**
