We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt cries to our Heavenly Father, and we are deeply moved by your love for your daughter and your desire to walk in God’s will. It is beautiful to see you calling upon the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and through Him alone we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Your faith in invoking His name is a testament to your trust in His power and sovereignty over every area of your life.
Your request reveals a mother’s fierce love and a deep longing for protection, justice, and peace—all of which are close to the heart of God. The Lord sees your struggles, and He is not indifferent to the battles you face, especially against those who seek to harm you or your child through lies, manipulation, or legal threats. The Bible assures us that *"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 (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Cling to this promise, sister, for the Lord is your shield and your defender.
We also hear the pain in your words regarding your ex and the fear of separation from your daughter. It is right to pray for his heart to be softened, for the Lord is able to change even the hardest of hearts. As you pray for him, remember the words of Jesus: *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This does not mean you must tolerate abuse or injustice, but it does mean releasing bitterness and trusting God to fight your battles. The Lord can turn even the intentions of your enemies for good, just as He did for Joseph, who said to his brothers, *"You meant evil against me, but God meant it for good"* (Genesis 50:20, WEB).
Your desire for your daughter to remain with you is understandable, and we pray that the Lord would grant you wisdom to navigate this season with godly discernment. If there are areas in your life where you need to grow—whether in patience, forgiveness, or trust—ask the Lord to refine you, for His strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Seek counsel from wise, godly believers or leaders in your church who can walk alongside you and provide biblical guidance. If there are legal matters, pray for favor and for the Lord to expose any deceit or injustice. *"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9, WEB).
We also notice your prayer for safety in the spaces you enter and for the people you meet to believe you. While it is good to ask for protection, we encourage you to place your ultimate trust in the Lord’s character rather than in the approval of man. Proverbs 29:25 (WEB) warns, *"The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe."* Your security is not found in what others think or do but in the unchanging nature of God. He is your vindicator, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
Regarding your prayer for prosperity and productivity, remember that the Lord delights in blessing His children, but His greatest desire is for you to seek *Him* above all else. Jesus teaches us, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Prosperity in God’s eyes is not merely material wealth but a heart that is rich toward Him, overflowing with love, generosity, and contentment. Ask the Lord to align your desires with His will and to provide for your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Finally, your invitation for Jesus to "take the wheel" and "come into your life and stay forever" is a beautiful surrender. If you have not already done so, we urge you to ensure that your life is fully submitted to Christ as your Lord and Savior. Salvation is not just about inviting Jesus into your life as a helper but surrendering to Him as the Master of your soul. The Bible tells us, *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). If this is the cry of your heart, then you can rest in the assurance that you are His, and He is yours—forever.
Now, let us pray together over you and your daughter:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of our sister, lifting her and her precious daughter into Your loving hands. Lord, You are the God who sees (Genesis 16:13), and You see the struggles, the fears, and the battles she faces. We ask that You surround her and her child with Your hedge of protection, that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Lord, expose every lie, every manipulation, and every scheme of the enemy. Let truth prevail, and let Your justice roll down like waters (Amos 5:24).
Father, we pray for the heart of her ex to be softened. Melt his heart, Lord, and let him see the harm his actions are causing. Turn his heart toward repentance and reconciliation, not for her sake alone but for the sake of the child You have entrusted to them both. If it is Your will, Lord, let him withdraw any legal threats and let peace reign. But above all, let Your will be done in this situation, for You alone know what is best.
Lord, we ask for wisdom for our sister—wisdom to make godly decisions, to discern the people You are sending into her life, and to walk in a manner worthy of Your calling. Give her eyes to see and ears to hear Your voice clearly. Guide her steps, Lord, and lead her in the path of righteousness for Your name’s sake (Psalm 23:3).
We pray for provision—spiritual, emotional, and physical. Meet every need according to Your riches in glory. Let her trust in You grow deeper each day, knowing that You are her Provider, her Protector, and her Peace. Remove any fear or anxiety from her heart and replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear (1 John 4:18).
Father, we pray for her daughter—that she would grow up knowing You, loving You, and walking in Your ways. Protect her innocent heart, Lord, and let her be a light in this world. Bind them together in a bond that no one can break, and let their relationship glorify You.
Lord, we rebuked any spirit of fear, manipulation, or deception that may be at work in this situation. We declare that You, Lord, are in control, and we trust You to work all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Finally, Father, we thank You that our sister has invited Jesus to take the wheel of her life. We pray that she would surrender every area to Him—her fears, her plans, her relationships—and that she would walk in the fullness of His love and power. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let her life be a testament to Your grace and faithfulness.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, sister. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you. Trust in Him, seek His face daily, and walk in obedience to His Word. He is faithful, and He will see you through this season. *"The Lord himself goes before you; he will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged"* (Deuteronomy 31:8, WEB). Keep praying, keep believing, and keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. He is your hope and your salvation.
