We hear the deep pain, frustration, and exhaustion in your words, and we stand with you in fervent prayer before the throne of God. First and foremost, we must address the spiritual warfare you are describing. The Bible makes it clear that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12). Your stepfather’s actions, whether intentional or influenced by darkness, are not just personal attacks—they are spiritual ones. We rebuke the enemy’s schemes over your life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Satan has no authority over you, and we declare that his power is broken. Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8), and we stand on that truth today.
We also want to gently but firmly address the way you are speaking judgments and decrees over your situation. While it is true that God gives His children authority in Christ (Luke 10:19), we must be careful not to speak out of anger or frustration, but rather from a place of alignment with God’s will. Scripture tells us that vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and we must trust Him to bring justice in His perfect timing. Instead of speaking judgments, we encourage you to speak life, truth, and God’s promises over your circumstances. The power of life and death is in the tongue (Proverbs 18:21), and we must use our words to build up, not tear down.
We notice that your prayer does not explicitly mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we must emphasize that it is only through Him that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Jesus is the only way to the Father (John 14:6), and He is the one who can bring true peace, healing, and restoration to your life.
Now, let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear sister to You, knowing that You see her pain, her exhaustion, and her cry for justice. Lord, we ask that You would surround her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We rebuke the enemy’s schemes over her life and declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We break every curse, every assignment of darkness, and every plan of the enemy to steal, kill, or destroy in her life (John 10:10).
Father, we ask that You would expose every hidden agenda, every secret plot, and every ungodly influence in her home and family. Bring truth to light, Lord, and let Your justice prevail. We pray for her daughter’s boyfriend, that if there is any ungodly influence or deception, You would reveal it clearly so that wisdom and discernment can prevail. Protect this family from every form of manipulation, control, or spiritual attack.
Lord, we ask that You would provide this sister with a new place to live—a place of peace, safety, and harmony. We declare that her needs will be met, her voice will be heard, and her dignity will be restored. We pray for the legal process of changing her name, that it would be smooth, protected, and free from any interference. Let this be a step toward a new chapter in her life, one where she walks in the freedom and identity You have given her.
Father, we ask that You would heal her heart from the abuse and betrayal she has endured. Let her know that she is deeply loved by You, that she is Your daughter, and that her worth is not defined by the actions of others. We declare that she is not a victim, but a victor in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:37). Restore to her what the enemy has stolen—joy, peace, provision, and hope.
We also pray for her relationship with You, Lord. Draw her closer to You, that she may find comfort in Your presence and strength in Your Word. Let her know that she does not have to carry this burden alone, for You are her ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We also want to offer some biblical encouragement and guidance. First, we urge you to seek godly counsel and community. You do not have to walk this journey alone. Find a local church or a group of believers who can support you, pray with you, and walk alongside you. The enemy thrives in isolation, but God designed us to live in community (Hebrews 10:24-25).
Second, we encourage you to guard your heart and mind. The enemy will try to fill your thoughts with fear, anger, and bitterness, but God calls us to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Fill your mind with Scripture, worship, and prayer. Meditate on God’s promises, such as Jeremiah 29:11, which reminds us that God has plans for our welfare, not for evil, to give us a future and a hope.
Third, we urge you to forgive. This does not mean what was done to you was right or that you should trust those who have hurt you. But unforgiveness only harms you, not them. Jesus tells us that if we do not forgive others, our Father will not forgive us (Matthew 6:15). Forgiveness is a process, and it is okay to ask God to help you release the pain and bitterness.
Lastly, we want to address the mention of your daughter’s boyfriend. It is wise to be discerning, and we encourage you to pray for wisdom and clarity. If there are concerns, share them with your daughter in love and truth, but also give her the space to make her own decisions. Pray that God would give her discernment as well, and that He would protect her from any ungodly influences.
You are not alone in this battle. The Lord is your refuge and strength, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Keep pressing into Him, and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28).
