Peace, Protection and Restoration

[Cralmilan]

Please pray for our family. Father, today was a difficult day because I can see the manifestation of hatred that is stemming from this young man and his mother toward me and my other children. Lord, these people will not stop. My older daughter has been imitating these disrespectful and ungrateful behaviors toward me, our extended family, and her siblings in an effort to please this young man and his family. This week I have seen a manifestation of her not following the faith she was raised to obey, and instead allowing this young man's mother to guide her away from the biblical teachings she has known, the longer she remains in this relationship. Lord, I ask that You remove the scales from her eyes and let her see how dark the path is that she is living. Lord, I know that nothing is impossible for You, and I ask for Your divine intervention. I pray for mercy upon her life and ask that You lead her to leave this toxic relationship with no regrets. Lord, teach my daughter to obey You and to stop idolizing this toxic, manipulative, and ungodly relationship. The hatred that this young man and his mother have shown toward me and my other children has been overwhelming, but I place this burden into Your hands, trusting that You see everything and that nothing is hidden from You. Jesus, I pray for Your divine intervention and remove the stubborn hold and authority this young man has upon my daughter, he is not her husband, You have not anoint him to be her father, he is not ready for a relationship, he is lazy and cannot provide for himself and he exploit her finances for his own benefit. I pray Lord that this young man father will have his son move back home swiftly. Guide my daughter not disrecpect her supportive family God has blessed her with to please his young man and his mother anymore or give up her faith. Stop this young man's mother to stop treating my daughter as she is homeless. It is sad to see my inspiring daughter being lead astray. She is so exhausted and blame it on everything else expect for this toxic relationship. Thank You Lord for blessing her with this purposeful promotion, tomorrow. Grant her Your favor and statisfication today that she will still from work from home as they are not office spaces available on a daily basics. I pray that she will not feel belittle for not having an offfice, let her not be influence by this young man view of not having an office as a disrespect move from her employer. Lord, guide my daughter to stay humble, graceful and understanding toward her jobs the way she was raised. Lord I thank You for the many life she will be blessing with her new purposeful job. I pray for Your protection as she drives and Your peace and success. Jesus, I pray for my daughter to release herself completely from this very toxic relationship swiftly with no regrets. I pray that she will see clearly that living together outside of marriage is not a marriage and for her to stop treating this arrangement as a marriage/commitment. Lord my older daughter is being influenced by this young man's mother who encouraged them to live together outside of marriage, and now she is advicing them to have children. This is imitating the life she lived, Lord, my inspiring older daughter is going down a dark path with this young man and she is not listening. Please pray that her eyes would be opened to the deception and bondage she is in. Lord, remove the blinders from her heart and expose the toxicity of this relationship. Break the false sense of obligation and the ungodly influence this young man and his mother have over her. I declare that she will no longer defend this situation or carry burdens that are not hers to bear. Father, gently but swiftly remove her from this toxic environment, leading her back to a place of safety, wisdom, and freedom. Lord remove the overreach and disrespect of this young man’s mother. She has no authority to speak into your daughter’s life, especially with ungodly counsel such as encouraging children outside of marriage. Her jealousy, manipulation, control and pride are rooted in darkness, and we pray that her motives would be exposed and her plans frustrated. My daughter has a loving family that has raised her in the ways of the Lord, and I declare that the hold of this woman’s influence is broken. I pray that my daughter would see the truth about this young man and his mother and reject every lie that has been spoken over her life. Help her Lord to stop ignoring all the red flags and giving up her self worth. Lord let her see from now onward that living together outside of marriage is not Your will for her life. Jesus I ask that You protect my older daughter from this young man's ungodly selfish, disrespectful and jealous advice and lifestyle. I ask You Lord to guide my daughter out of this ungodly lifestyle and have her move back home swiftly with no regrets but only a feeling of restoring her self-worth, her respect for others, independence, and freedom in You, Lord and the unconditional love of her family you have blessed her with. I declare that this young man and his mother will not steal her peace, her purpose, or her love and unity with her family. Completely remove the stubborn ungodly hold they have upon her swiftly. Lord I ask for protection for me and my family from the disrespect and strife from this young man. Lord, speak to my daughter, let her hear Your words, “You are Mine. You are My daughter. You belong to Me, and I will protect You with every ounce of My power from this ungodly relationship with this young man.” Please continue to join me in speaking to my older daughter’s mind, heart, and spirit, open her eyes, dear Jesus to all the red flags and not to make excuses for this young man anymore. Jesus let her know, she is not being loved; she is being used. Living together outside of marriage is not a marriage. He is not her significant other, she should not idolize and obey this young man anymore or put him and his family before her God-giving family, her faith and jobs with a purpose. Her finances are not his to manage, budget or spend, and I pray his father will intervene with authority and have him return home alone swiftly. He is dishonest, selfish, disrespectful and not ready for a relationship. This man’s greed and manipulation are not love; he does not have the right to exploit her finances for his selfish benefit and control. He and his mother should not be able to instigate havoc, disrespect, division, isolation in our family, and his lifestyle is not a home for my daughter. Show him Lord that he is not ready for a relationship. Jesus help my daughter to not change the way she was raised to please this young man and his mother. Show my daughter this is a dark path she is taking with this young man and show her that being ungrateful toward her family is not the biblical teaching she was raised to follow. Block her Lord from confiding in his mother and saying this that pleases this woman's ears. Let my daughter stop trying to prove to her that our family does not matter. Lord guide my daughter to stop giving up her self worth just to get this woman's approval. Show her Lord, that disowning her family that God blessed her with just to please this young man is not Your will for her life. Let her see the spiritual attacks she and our family are under because of this ungodly relationship. The division, isolation, chaos, ungratefulness, disrespect, and exhaustion this lifestyle and relationship has caused. Lord remove the stubborn hold these people have on her and let her not want to live this lifestyle anymore. Lord whisper to her right now: “Walk away. You do not belong to this young man and his family, You don't have to obey these people, Trust and respect your family. Trust Me. I will provide, protect, and restore everything he’s trying to take from you. I am praying for supernatural clarity to flood her mind, so she sees him for who he truly is, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, not a shepherd. Lord teach this young man’s mother to stop putting undue responsibilities upon my daughter and for her to stop overstepping her boundaries. It is overwhelming, Jesus, please block these people's disrespect. She is not her mother and her to have her son move back home alone. He is not ready for a relationship. I ask Lord that his father will see the destruction he has caused in my daughter's life, let him take authority, guide his son to move back home alone swiftly. Let him have his wife focus on fixing only her children and stop the manipulation and brainwashing behaviors toward my daughter. Speak to her firmly, Lord, that my daughter is not homeless, that You have anointed a family for her Lord and block her from guiding my daughter down a dark path and to be disobedient to her parents and disown her siblings and supportive network of extended family and friends. I know with my daughter's recent promotion that God has blessed her with this lazy young man is already spending it his way and it's starting to put her on a budget that benefits him. Please Jesus, block my daughter from listening to the young man's mother and help my daughter to stop enabling him to control her, show her Lord this is not security or love, it is exploitation. Lord guide my daughter to move back home swiftly with no regret. Restore her freedom, independence, self-worth, freedom, gratefulness for her family, and satisfaction swiftly. Jesus, guide me as I navigate the difficult situation. I ask that Your presence will go in front of me as a shield from all the attacks and disrespect that I experience from following the biblical teachings against this ungodly life. Bless me Lord with supernatural strength to overcome all obstacles I face with Your courage, grace, favor, protection, and strength. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over me and my children. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. I ask for know nothing is impossible for You, Lord. I believe in the power of prayers and I put all my faith and trust in You. Jesus, I ask for a special blessing upon my family today. I pray for a Godly respectful spouses for my daughters.Lord, fill us with Your Holy Spirit in every aspect of our lives. Saturate us with Your peace, love, favor, protection, and healing. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

We hear the deep pain and concern in your heart for your daughter and your family, and we join you in fervent prayer before the throne of grace. The situation you describe is heartbreaking, seeing a beloved child stray from the faith she was raised in, entangled in a toxic relationship that dishonors God and undermines the values of her family. We stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ to rebuke every ungodly influence, break every chain of deception, and restore what the enemy has sought to steal.

First, we must address the sin of fornication that has taken root in this relationship. Scripture is clear: "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge" (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). Your daughter is living in direct disobedience to God’s design for intimacy and commitment. Cohabitation outside of marriage is not a substitute for holy matrimony, it is a counterfeit that leads to bondage, not blessing. The enemy has used this arrangement to blur the lines of authority, responsibility, and godly order. We declare that this ungodly union is broken in Jesus’ name. "For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ" (2 Corinthians 10:4-5 WEB). The hold of this young man and his mother over your daughter is a spiritual stronghold, and we command it to be torn down now.

The influence of this young man’s mother is particularly grievous. She has overstepped her bounds, speaking into your daughter’s life with ungodly counsel, even encouraging sin by promoting children outside of marriage. Scripture warns, "Do not be deceived! ‘Evil companionships corrupt good morals.’" (1 Corinthians 15:33 WEB). This woman’s jealousy, manipulation, and pride are rooted in darkness, and we rebuke her influence over your daughter. "For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth, proving what is well-pleasing to the Lord" (Ephesians 5:8-10 WEB). We declare that your daughter’s eyes will be opened to the deception she is under. No longer will she be swayed by the lies of this woman or the empty promises of this young man.

Your daughter’s exhaustion, disrespect toward her family, and abandonment of her faith are not coincidences, they are the fruits of an ungodly relationship. The enemy has used this situation to isolate her, drain her, and turn her heart away from the truth. But we serve a God who restores. "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit" (Psalm 34:18 WEB). We pray that the Holy Spirit will convict her heart, not with condemnation, but with the loving truth of God’s Word. May she hear the Lord whisper to her spirit: "You are Mine. You are My daughter. You belong to Me, and I will protect you with every ounce of My power from this ungodly relationship" (Isaiah 43:1 WEB). Let her see this young man for who he truly is, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, exploiting her finances, her kindness, and her future. "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves" (Matthew 7:15 WEB).

We also lift you up, dear parent, as you navigate this painful season. The disrespect and attacks you face for standing on biblical principles are not overlooked by God. "Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven" (Matthew 5:11-12 WEB). You are not alone in this battle. The blood of Jesus covers you and your family, and no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17 WEB). We plead the blood of Jesus over you, your children, and your home. Let every assignment of the enemy be dismantled, and let the peace of God guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7 WEB).

We pray for supernatural intervention in this situation. Father, we ask that You soften the heart of this young man’s father. Let him see the destruction his son has caused and take authority to call him home. Remove the stubborn hold this young man has over your daughter. Let her see that his laziness, dishonesty, and disrespect are not love, they are exploitation. Break the cycle of enabling and expose the truth: "For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows" (1 Timothy 6:10 WEB). May she no longer be a slave to his manipulation or his mother’s ungodly counsel.

We declare restoration over your daughter. May she return home swiftly, with no regrets, but with a renewed sense of her worth in Christ. Let her rediscover the joy of her family, the purpose in her promotion, and the freedom that comes from walking in obedience to God. "If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36 WEB). We pray that she will no longer seek the approval of man but will find her identity in Christ alone. Let her hear the Lord say, "You are fearfully and wonderfully made. My works are wonderful, and your soul knows it very well" (Psalm 139:14 WEB).

For your other children, we pray for protection from the division and chaos this situation has caused. May they stand firm in their faith and not be swayed by the disrespect or ungodliness they have witnessed. "Let no man despise your youth; but be an example to those who believe, in word, in your way of life, in love, in spirit, in faith, and in purity" (1 Timothy 4:12 WEB). We also pray for godly spouses for your daughters, men who will honor them, lead them in the Lord, and cherish them as Christ cherishes the Church (Ephesians 5:25 WEB). May your family be a testimony of God’s grace, healing, and restoration.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, but also with unwavering faith in Your power to redeem and restore. We lift up this family to You, Lord, and ask that You intervene in this situation according to Your perfect will. Break every ungodly soul tie between this young man and this daughter. Remove the blinders from her eyes and let her see the truth of her circumstances. Expose the lies she has believed and replace them with Your truth. Father, we rebuke the spirit of deception, manipulation, and control that has taken hold of her. We declare that she is free in Jesus’ name.

Lord, we ask that You soften the heart of this young man’s father. Let him take authority over his household and call his son home. Remove the influence of his mother from this daughter’s life. Let her no longer seek the approval of this woman or the validation of this young man. Instead, draw her back to You, Lord, and to the family You have blessed her with. Restore her joy, her peace, and her purpose. Let her walk in the freedom that comes from obedience to You.

For this mother, we pray for strength, wisdom, and supernatural courage. Let her stand firm in the face of disrespect and attacks, knowing that You are her shield and her defender. Fill her with Your peace and remind her that her labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58 WEB). May she continue to trust in You, even when the path is difficult.

Father, we plead the blood of Jesus over this family. Let no weapon formed against them prosper. Let every assignment of the enemy be dismantled. Restore what has been broken, heal what has been wounded, and bring unity where there has been division. We declare that this family will walk in the fullness of Your blessing, favor, and protection.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the name above every name, the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12 WEB). Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your faithfulness to answer according to Your perfect will. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.

We can only imagine how heavy your heart must feel, watching your daughter choose a path that brings so much pain and distance. It’s exhausting to see someone you love, someone you raised in the truth, dismiss everything you gave her, while a manipulative influence tightens its grip. In those moments when nothing you say seems to reach her, please know you are not failing her. God sees your tears, and he hears every desperate prayer you’ve whispered.

Sometimes the most powerful thing we can do is release the outcome while refusing to release our love. Your daughter is caught in what feels familiar, even as it drains her dry. The exploitation and disrespect you describe are real, and we hurt with you. Yet the very exhaustion she’s carrying may eventually lead her to hunger for what she’s lost.

As you continue to stand in the gap, we’d encourage you to find a wise, grounded Christian counselor or a trusted pastor, someone who can help you set healthy boundaries for your own well-being and your other children’s peace. You cannot force her eyes open, but you can guard your own soul so you remain a steady, safe harbor when she’s ready to turn around. And right now, clinging to prayer is not weakness; it’s surrender to the only One who can truly change a heart.

Lord Jesus, we lift this mother and her family to You. Protect her and her other children from the strife and disrespect of this toxic relationship. Wrap them in Your peace and be a shield around their home. We pray for her older daughter, open her eyes to see the deception, break the false sense of obligation, and draw her away from everything that is not of You. Restore her self-worth and her bonds with the family You blessed her with. Give this mother supernatural strength and wisdom day by day, and fill her with the hope that comes from trusting You with what she cannot control. In Your name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

The cry of your heart has ascended before the throne of Grace, and He who counts the stars and sees the fall of every sparrow has not shut His ear to this anguish. In the long portraiture of the prodigal son, there is a single sentence that burns like a coal from the altar: “When he was yet a great way off, his father saw him.” That sight was not the cold observation of an offended judge; it was the deep, piercing, tender watchfulness of Love itself. Even now, amid the darkness you describe, the Father’s eye rests upon your daughter. Her wayward course, the false counsel she drinks in, the blind idolatry of this ungodly union, all lie bare before Him. And let your soul take hold of this: it is ours to pray, but it is His to open eyes. The adamant heart cannot yield though wooed by Divine love, yet one touch from the pierced hand of Christ can make the rock dissolve into rivers.

You speak of scales and blinders and deception. Truly, the stone wall of her character has been broken down by bad company and unholy counsel. A broken fence exposes the vineyard to every beast of the field; so her soul now lies open to spiritual wolves. But He who bound the sea with a decree of sand is able to rebuild what the enemy has torn down. The broken column of a life once full of purpose, cut short, as it were, in mid-sentence, can yet be restored by the Heavenly Builder. I remember that a bone once broken may knit and become stronger at the place of fracture than it was before. So even this grievous wound may in time display the surpassing skill of the Great Physician.

Her living outside of marriage, the advice to hurry into children, the exploitation of her finances, all this is the folly that chases after vanities. It is the prodigal feeding upon husks, spending her substance in riotous living while her Father’s house has bread enough and to spare. But note well: when that younger son returned, the father did not wait for a full confession; he ran, he fell on his neck, he kissed him. Those repeated kisses meant much love, much forgiveness, and full restoration. He stopped the word “servant” upon his son’s lips, and with that kiss reinstated him as a son. So stands the Lord, ready to receive your daughter, not with reproach but with the embrace that makes the bones which He has broken to rejoice. Do not despair of the miracle. The cure of a soul where every bone seems broken, faith shattered, hope bruised, love strained, must be a work of sovereign power, yet nothing is beyond Him who died of a broken heart to heal the brokenhearted.

Your prayer for divine intervention pleases the Lord, for He has given us the sacrifice of a broken spirit, a contrite heart He will not despise. Lay hold upon that promise. Bring this very grief before Him as the offering He will not refuse. And while you stand in the gap for your daughter, be on your watchtower. Let no root of bitterness spring up in your own soul against this young man or his mother, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood. Their meddling counsel, their disrespect, their overreach are the outward claws of a darker enemy. The Lord knows how to frustrate the devices of the crafty. The mother who encourages lawlessness and the son who manipulates for gain will find their proud webs torn through by the wind of the Spirit. His father may yet be stirred to call him home; the voice of authority in his own household may restore a measure of order. But the greater work must be within your child: “Walk away. You do not belong to this young man and his family. You are Mine. I will provide, protect, and restore everything he’s trying to take from you.”

This promise I breathe over your household: the Lord will give strength to His people; He will bless His people with peace. The peace He speaks is not a truce with sin; it is the deep quiet of a soul reconciled through the blood of the cross. Let your daughter hear that voice which says, “Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Her promotion, her daily path, her very safety on the road are all under the shadow of His wing. Pray that she may not be ashamed of a humble station at work, nor influenced by the world’s proud estimate of what is respectable. The One who had no place to lay His head is the same who now prepares a mansion for His own. Let her stay humble and graceful, as she was taught, for thereby she will walk in the footsteps of her Lord.

For yourself and your other children, I claim this weapon: No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Put on the whole armour that you might stand against the wiles of the devil. The hatred and strife you mention cannot prevail while you hide behind the shield of faith. The Lord will be a wall of fire round about, and the glory in the midst. He has not called you to faint but to fight, and in the battle He will give you the song of victory. I am persuaded that the prayer of faith, offered with fasting and tears, reaches the ear of the Lord of Sabaoth. He does not break the bruised reed; He does not quench the smoking flax. Your daughter is not beyond His reach. The very exhaustion you see in her may be the beginning of that holy weariness which says, “I will arise and go to my Father.” May the goodness of God lead her to repentance. May she soon see that living together outside of marriage is not a covenant but a counterfeit, that the obligation she feels is a snare and not a sacred bond, and that her true home is where the Word of God is loved and obeyed.

Lift up your head, then, and look to the horizon. The Father already sees her afar off. Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. I will join my prayer with yours, asking that the Holy Spirit will brood over this chaos and bring forth light, that the scales will fall, that the stubborn hold will be broken swiftly, that she will come home with no regret but with the restored sense of her worth in Christ, free from the tyranny of a usurping influence. And I pray for godly, respectful spouses for your daughters in due season, that their homes may be built upon the Rock. The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace, not the peace of surrender to sin, but the peace that passes all understanding, guarding your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

[Chrysostom]

Truly, your lament is not for the loss of her presence alone, but from a trembling of faith. Yet I say to you, if you would see the snare broken, do not fix your eyes on the hatred of that young man and his mother, nor on the stubbornness of your daughter, but on the power of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light. He who justified you when you were ungodly, who spared not His own Son, shall He not, now that you are a friend, deliver your daughter from this living death? You know well that where the Law of God is cast aside, wrath works, but faith in Christ establishes the promise and makes it sure to all the seed. Sarah herself, though she laughed from unbelief, afterward feared, and faith entered in. So also your daughter: the scales on her eyes are not of flesh but of spiritual delusion, brought on by giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons. For what is this teaching that living together outside marriage is not sin, that children outside the covenant of wedlock are to be sought? It is a falsehood whispered by those whose consciences are seared as with a hot iron. They draw her from the faith, not with swords but with soft words, exploiting her finances, isolating her from the family God gave her, and robbing her of self-worth. This is not love; it is the greed of wolves in sheep’s clothing.

But take courage: the Spirit also speaks expressly that those who depart from the faith shall not stand. Their schemes are vain. You have done well to plead the blood of Christ over your household, for no weapon formed against you shall prosper if you stand firm in the faith that works by love. Yet let your prayer be joined to a holy life. If you have all faith and all knowledge, yet walk not in good works, what does it profit? Almsgiving and a pure conversation send up a cry to God louder than any words. The tears of a mother’s intercession, when accompanied by a life of righteousness, pierce the heavens. Remember the widow who brings up children in the fear of God: she is saved through child-bearing, not by a husband’s provision, but by instilling the fear of the Lord as a wall that cannot be broken. So pour this fear into your other children, and trust that the seed sown in your older daughter’s heart from youth will not perish forever.

Do not be amazed that she defends this ungodly union or that the mother of that young man speaks lies in hypocrisy. The Enemy specializes in counterfeits, calling a sinful cohabitation a marriage, and urging children outside the covenant as if it were a blessing. It is the same deception that makes her believe the loss of an office is a disrespect from her employer, when you know God has given her a purposeful promotion. But when a soul is darkened, it sees light as darkness and darkness as light. Intercede, then, that the true Light, which enlightens every man, would shine into her heart and dissolve that mental darkness. He does not need the young man to move back home, nor the father to intervene, though He may use such means. He can simply whisper into her spirit, “You are Mine, you belong to Me, not to this man or his mother.” And she will rise and come to herself, as one waking from a nightmare.

Contend not in anger against the young man’s laziness or his mother’s manipulation; leave them to God, who says, “Vengeance is Mine.” Instead, fight on your knees with the weapons of faith and patience. Consider that Abraham, when the promise seemed impossible, was fully persuaded that what God had promised He was able also to perform. Look not at the worsening symptoms but at the Healer. Declare, in the face of every new report, “I believe, Lord, help my unbelief.” Let your daughter see in you not a mother panicked and broken, but a woman whose hope is anchored in the age to come, whose righteousness shines brighter than gold, and whose joy is not in circumstances but in the God who saves sinners. When she mocks or avoids you, answer with the same fear that made Sarah, after her laugh, say “I did not laugh.” For faith casts out fear of man and fears only God.

Now, concerning the exploitation of her finances: it is a proof that this man does not love her but uses her. Yet your daughter has become blind to all red flags because she has first departed from the truth. Remind her, if you have opportunity, that she was not baptized into the name of a lazy youth or a manipulative woman, but into the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. She has for her Father the God of heaven, a protector better than any earthly father, yet she seeks approval from a household that treats her as homeless. This is a spell of the Evil One, to make the beloved child of a most wealthy Father beg for crumbs from a table of demons. But the spell is broken by prayer and fasting, by the persistent cry of faith.

Therefore, do not grow weary. The promise is to you and to all your seed who share Abraham’s faith, not those who rest in fleshly relationships. Your daughter is in the far country now, but the way back is shorter than she thinks. She need only look upon her true condition and say, “I will arise and go to my Father.” As for you, let your life be a beacon calling her home. Be not contentious or bitter; let peace rule your household. For if Christ reconciled you when you were an enemy, can you not extend grace, hoping for her repentance? Yet grace is not surrender to sin. Speak the truth in love, hold to the biblical teaching that living together outside marriage is not marriage at all, and refuse to bless what God curses. Then stand still and see the salvation of the Lord.

Remember also the spiritual warfare: what you see with your eyes, the disrespect, the financial drain, the isolation, is but the outward sign of an inward demonic assault. These are not mere human enemies but doctrines of demons, seducing spirits that entice through the lust for love and security. Therefore, put on the whole armor of God. Plead the blood of Jesus, yes, but also walk in the Spirit. Let your own soul be saturated with Scripture, so that when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord lifts up a standard against him. Make your home a house of prayer, a place where the fragrance of Christ drives away every foul influence.

I pray with you that the Father of mercies will remove the scales from her eyes, swiftly and with such gentleness that she leaves with no regret, only relief. Do not faint if the answer tarries. For sometimes God allows a tree to be shaken by a great wind so that the rotten fruit falls off, and the roots grow deeper. In the end, you shall see that the trial works a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. The young man’s father will be moved, or the young man’s own laziness will bring his schemes to nothing. But it is better that your daughter return of her own will, purified and wise, than be dragged out unwillingly.

To you and your children I say: let your faith not consist merely in asking for miracles, but in the daily obedience that makes miracles possible. Raise the younger ones in the fear of God, and they shall be a wall of protection to you. The God who called Abraham our father, who makes the barren woman rejoice and the sinner righteous, shall not fail you now. Only believe, and everything is possible to him who believes. You shall yet see your daughter, like the prodigal, seated at the table of her true Father, clothed in her right mind, and the ungodly alliance forgotten as a dream when one awakes. Until that day, let the peace of Christ order your steps, and let no root of bitterness spring up. For the battle is the Lord’s, and He has already overcome the world.
