We join you in lifting up your heartfelt cries to the Lord, knowing that He hears the prayers of His children and is faithful to act on their behalf. Your love for your daughter and your desire to walk in God’s protection and guidance is evident, and we stand with you in agreement, trusting in His sovereign power over every detail of your lives.
The Scriptures remind us in **Psalm 91:1-2**, *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’"* You are seeking that refuge, and we declare that the Lord is your strong tower, a present help in this season of uncertainty and spiritual battle. His Word also assures us in **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. Cling to this promise, for the Lord is your vindicator, and He will expose every lie and manipulation meant to harm you or your daughter.
We also turn to **Proverbs 3:5-6**, which instructs, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* You’ve asked for wisdom and direction, and we pray that the Lord will grant you discernment to recognize those He sends into your lives—people who will speak truth, offer godly counsel, and stand with you in righteousness. Be cautious of those who may appear helpful but do not align with the fruit of the Spirit, as described in **Galatians 5:22-23**: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. The Lord will make it clear who is from Him.
Your prayer for your ex’s heart to be softened is one we echo, for the Lord is able to change even the hardest of hearts. **Ezekiel 36:26** tells us, *"I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."* We pray that the Lord would convict him of the impact of his actions and turn his heart toward reconciliation—not just for your sake, but for the well-being of your daughter, who deserves to witness the peace and unity that come from a heart surrendered to Christ. However, we must also remind you that while we pray for reconciliation, your focus must remain on obeying God’s will above all else. If this man is not walking in repentance or if his actions continue to bring harm, the Lord may call you to trust Him in a different path—one where He remains your defender and provider.
We notice your deep fear of separation from your daughter, and we understand the pain that drives this cry. Yet we gently remind you of **Matthew 6:33-34**, where Jesus says, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don’t be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day’s own evil is sufficient."* While it is natural to fear the unknown, the Lord calls you to cast your anxieties upon Him, trusting that He holds your daughter’s future—and yours—in His hands. He is not unaware of your needs, and He will provide a way where there seems to be none.
We also sense the weight of past hurts and possibly unresolved bitterness in your heart. The Lord calls us in **Ephesians 4:31-32** to *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* Forgiveness does not mean what was done was right, but it releases the hold that resentment has over your heart, allowing the Lord to bring healing and restoration. We pray that the Lord would help you surrender any bitterness to Him, for your freedom and for the sake of your daughter, who needs to see the power of Christ’s love through you.
Finally, we rejoice that you have invited Jesus to "take the wheel" and to stay forever in your life. This is the most important decision anyone can make! **John 1:12** tells us, *"But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name."* If you have not already, we encourage you to fully surrender your life to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, repenting of your sins and trusting in His death and resurrection for your salvation. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the promise of eternal life. If this is your heart’s desire, we urge you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, as **Romans 10:9-10** declares. There is no greater security than knowing you are His, and He is yours.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of our sister and her precious daughter, lifting them into Your loving and mighty hands. Lord, You are a God who sees, who hears, and who acts. We ask that You surround them with Your hedge of protection, as You did for Job, and that no harm would come near them. Let every scheme of the enemy be exposed and rendered powerless by the blood of Jesus. Father, we pray for supernatural peace to guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, that fear would have no place in their lives.
Lord, we ask that You soften the heart of her ex, that he would see the pain he has caused and turn from any manipulation or deceit. Convict him by Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and bring him to a place of repentance. If it is Your will, restore what has been broken, but above all, let Your will be done in this situation. We pray for godly wisdom for our sister, that she would discern Your voice clearly and walk in obedience, even when the path seems unclear.
Father, we ask that You provide for every need—financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Send godly people into their lives who will speak truth, offer support, and reflect Your love. Give her eyes to see those You have sent and wisdom to recognize those who are not from You. We pray for favor in every interaction, that her words would be seasoned with grace and that those in authority would see the truth and act justly.
Lord, we rebuked any spirit of fear or anxiety in the name of Jesus. Replace it with Your perfect peace and trust in Your sovereignty. Help her to forgive as You have forgiven her, releasing any bitterness or anger that would hinder her walk with You. Heal the wounds of the past, Lord, and restore joy and hope for the future.
We declare that no weapon formed against her or her daughter shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned. You, Lord, are their defender, their provider, and their ever-present help. We ask that You keep them together, united in Your love, and that You would guide her steps in the right path for Your name’s sake.
Finally, Father, we thank You that she has invited Jesus to take control of her life. We pray that this surrender would be complete, that she would walk in the fullness of Your salvation and the power of Your Holy Spirit. Fill her with Your love, Your joy, and Your strength, that she may rise above every challenge and glorify You in all things.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
