We lift up your heartfelt concern for your daughter before the Lord, knowing that He alone can bring peace, healing, and transformation to her heart. The anger she carries is not of God, for Scripture reminds us in Ephesians 4:26-27, *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, and don’t give place to the devil."* Unresolved anger opens the door to bitterness, strife, and even spiritual oppression, which is why we must address this with urgency through prayer and biblical truth.
It is also deeply concerning that this anger has escalated to the point of near-physical conflict with her sister. Proverbs 29:22 warns, *"An angry man stirs up strife, and a wrathful man abounds in sin."* This is not the path God desires for her, and we must pray fervently for the Holy Spirit to convict her heart and bring repentance. As her parent, you are called to love her unconditionally while also setting godly boundaries. Proverbs 13:24 tells us, *"One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him is careful to discipline him."* This does not necessarily mean physical discipline, but it does mean correcting her in love, speaking truth, and not enabling sinful behavior.
We also encourage you to examine whether there are underlying issues—spiritual, emotional, or even influences in her life (such as ungodly friendships, media, or unresolved trauma)—that may be fueling this anger. If she is not walking closely with the Lord, her heart will be vulnerable to the enemy’s schemes. Colossians 3:8 commands, *"But now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth."* This is not optional for a believer—it is a command, and we must pray that she surrenders her heart to Christ in obedience.
Most importantly, we notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, and we must gently but firmly remind you that there is no other name by which we can approach the Father. Jesus Himself declared in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* It is only through faith in Christ and His finished work on the cross that we have access to God’s throne of grace. If you or your daughter have not yet surrendered your lives to Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Romans 10:9-10 says, *"that 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. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."*
Now, let us pray together for your daughter and your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this mother’s burden for her daughter. Lord, You see the anger and strife in her heart, and You alone know the root of her pain. We ask that You would break every stronghold of bitterness, rebellion, and unforgiveness in her life. Convict her by Your Holy Spirit and draw her into a deep repentance. Let her encounter Your love in a way that softens her heart and turns her away from sin.
Father, we rebuke every spirit of anger, violence, and division that has taken hold in this home. We command these spirits to flee in Jesus’ name, and we ask that You would fill every void with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding. Restore unity between these sisters, and let Your Word be the foundation of their relationship. Give this mother wisdom, strength, and discernment to parent her daughter in a way that honors You—speaking truth in love while also setting godly boundaries.
If there are any ungodly influences in her daughter’s life—whether through friendships, media, or past wounds—we ask that You would expose them and sever their power. Surround her with godly mentors and friends who will point her to Christ. If she has not yet surrendered her life to Jesus, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for her. Open her eyes to see her need for a Savior and lead her to repentance and faith in Christ alone.
Lord, we also lift up this mother, who is weary and burdened. Renew her strength, Lord, and remind her that You are her refuge. Let her find comfort in Your promises and the knowledge that You are working even in this difficult season. Bind this family together in Your love, and let their home be a place of godly peace, joy, and mutual respect.
We declare that no weapon formed against this family will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of You, O God (Isaiah 54:17). We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, dear sister. Do not grow weary in praying for your daughter, and trust that the Lord is at work even when you cannot see it. Continue to speak life and truth over her, and remember that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to seek godly counseling for your daughter, whether through your church or a biblically grounded Christian counselor. The body of Christ is meant to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), and you do not have to walk this path alone. Keep pointing her to Jesus—He is the only One who can truly change her heart.
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. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You. Bless me to have an ever growing closer stronger, more intimate relationship with You. Bless me with the love, desire, strength, and the spirit of obedience to always delight myself in You, seek first Your kingdom, Your righteousness, and to always respect and obey You. Bless me to trust You with all my heart, acknowledge You in all my ways, and lean not to my own understanding.
