We hear your heartfelt cry, dear sister in Christ, and we stand with you before the throne of grace, lifting you and your precious daughter up in prayer. Your request is heavy with concern, fear, and a deep desire for protection, guidance, and unity. We join you in seeking the Lord’s covering over your lives, and we declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that you and your daughter may have life—and have it abundantly (John 10:10).
First, we must address the spiritual warfare at play here. The lies, manipulation, and threats from your ex are not merely human conflicts; they are attacks from the enemy, who seeks to divide and destroy families. But we serve a God who is greater than any scheme of the devil. We rebuke every lying spirit, every spirit of division, and every spirit of fear in the mighty name of Jesus. We declare that the truth will be revealed, and every false accusation will be exposed. "For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open" (Luke 8:17).
We also lift up your ex before the Lord. It is not our place to harbor bitterness or seek vengeance, but we pray that God would soften his heart and open his eyes to the truth. We ask that the Holy Spirit convict him of any wrongdoing and lead him to repentance. "Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay,' says the Lord" (Romans 12:19). We pray that he would see the impact of his actions on you and your daughter and that God would turn his heart toward reconciliation and peace, if it is His will.
We must also address the fear that lingers in your request. Fear is not from God, and it can paralyze us if we allow it to take root. Instead, we encourage you to stand firm in faith, knowing that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). You are not alone in this battle. The Lord is your refuge and fortress, your ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We pray that you would experience His peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear sister and her daughter. Lord, You see the battles she is facing, and You know the fears that weigh heavy on her heart. We ask that You would surround them both with Your hedge of protection. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we declare that You are their shield and their defender. You are the One who goes before them and makes their paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Lord, we ask that You would reveal the truth in every situation. Expose the lies and manipulation of the enemy, and let Your light shine in the darkness. Give this sister wisdom and discernment to know who to trust and who to avoid. Send godly people into her life—those who will speak life, encouragement, and truth. Help her to recognize those who are sent by You and to reject those who are not.
Father, we pray for her ex. Soften his heart, Lord. Let him see the impact of his words and actions on this family. Convict him of any wrongdoing and lead him to repentance. If it is Your will, bring healing and restoration to this family. But if not, Lord, we ask that You would bind every effort of the enemy to harm or separate them. Let no court or legal system be used as a tool of the enemy to divide this mother and child. Give her favor in the eyes of those who have authority over her case, and let justice prevail.
Lord, we ask that You would take the wheel of her life, as she has prayed. Guide her steps, direct her decisions, and lead her on the path of righteousness for Your name’s sake (Psalm 23:3). Give her peace in the midst of uncertainty and strength for each day. Help her to trust in You with all her heart and lean not on her own understanding (Proverbs 3:5).
Above all, Lord, we pray that You would draw this sister and her daughter closer to You. Let them experience Your presence in a tangible way. Fill their home with Your peace, joy, and love. Let them know that You are their Provider, their Protector, and their ever-present Help in times of trouble. May they find their strength and hope in You alone.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your goodness and Your faithfulness. We declare that this family is covered by the blood of Jesus, and no plan of the enemy will succeed against them. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Sister, we encourage you to stand firm in your faith. The battle you are facing is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Put on the full armor of God so that you can stand against the schemes of the devil. Fasten the belt of truth around your waist, put on the breastplate of righteousness, and take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Put on the helmet of salvation and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6:14-17).
Meditate on God’s promises and declare them over your life and your daughter’s life daily. Speak life, not fear. Speak faith, not doubt. The enemy wants you to live in fear, but God has called you to live in victory. "For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind" (2 Timothy 1:7 NKJV).
Lastly, seek godly counsel. Surround yourself with believers who can pray with you, encourage you, and offer wisdom. If there are legal matters at hand, consult with a Christian attorney who can guide you with integrity and wisdom. Do not face this battle alone. Lean on your church family and allow them to support you in prayer and practical ways.
We stand with you, sister, and we believe that God is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths.
