Peace , Protection, Freedom and Restoration

[Cralmilan]

Lord remove the overreach of this young man’s mother, who has no biblical authority to speak into my older daughter’s life. Her counsel to live together, have children outside of marriage, having her son exploiting in daughter income, demanding my daughter treat this arrangement as a marriage, cause division, isolation on her suppotive network and making my daughter feel worthless then have her confide in her when her son mistreat her. She instigate chaos then want to act as a hero to her relationship. They have isolate my daughter from her supportive network in order to control her and keep their family life together. This young man is controling, manipulative, laziness, corrupted and rebellious. This young man's mother instigate the mistreat, she has placed undue responsiblities on my daughter to take care of her son. He is not getting better just more demanding and controlling towards my daughter and disrespectful toward our family. This woman’s ungodly, pride, destruction, selfish, jealousy and manipulation are rooted in darkness, and I pray the Lord exposes her motives and frustrates every plan she has to control, divide and isolate my daughter from me, her siblings, family and church friends. I declare that my older daughter is not homeless, nor does she need this woman’s approval, or be a part of her family or guidance. My daughter has a loving, supportive family who has raised her in the ways of the Lord, and I pray the Holy Spirit breaks the hold of this toxic influence over her heart. This woman is jealous and looks down upon my daugther but she insist on my daughter to go to her for guidance on how to stay in this toxic relationship with her son. Lord I pray this mother will see she is enabling her son to be disrespectful and corrupted towards others. I pray my daughter will remember she is the Child of the Most High God and for her to release herself for this toxic lifestyle swiftly. Let her stop using her family as a financial resource to help her sustain this man's needs. Give her the wisdom to protect her finances from him. He should not be allow to use the ungodly living relationship as a marriage. Block and frustrate every word curses and plots from this woman and her son. This young man is not ready for a relationship. I pray his father will have him move back home alone. Father, I ask You to open my older daughter’s eyes to the truth. Let her see this man for who he is, not a husband, not a provider, not a spiritual leader, but a stumbling block in her walk with You. I pray she would no longer defend, admire or commit this relationship and living arrangement, or take on responsibilities that are not hers to bear. Lord let her see the exhaustion and financial hardship she Is experiences is due to living with this young man outside of marriage. Guide her Lord to not take out anymore credit card to support this man and this toxic lifestyle. He is lazy, manipulative, dishonest, exploit her finances for his own benefit and isolate her from supportive people who care for her. Jesus I ask that You guidance my older daughter to stop imitating this young man's behaviors toward me. She has been cold, ungrateful, degrading and rude toward me. I am not sure how much more I can take of this behavior. Lord soften my daughter's heart to receive Your conviction, and grant her the courage to walk away from this bondage with no regrets. Guide back to follow the biblical teachings and stop taking her family for grant and put this young man and his family before her faith and her family. Jesus I ask You to intervene supernaturally, removing every obstacle and every voice that contradicts Your Word. Let my daughter hunger for righteousness be reignited, and let her return to the safety and wisdom of her family and church community. Lord thank you for show me the message from this woman says it makes her heart happy that my daughter is following her lead and not a part of her church community anymore. Now she is intervening in my daughter job trying to work there. Lord help my daughter to stop confiding in this woman and helping her. She does not respect my daughter. Lord I pray that she will put her faith and trust in You again so she can regain her self worth. I pray Lord that she will see her worth in You and not allow these people that make her feel worthless and familialess anymore. This woman need to focus and fix her own family. Her son is not ready for a relationship. Lord grant my daughter the wisdom, self worth and courage to leave this unhealthy relationship. This has been going on for too many years and these people division, manipulation and isolation continues to manifest. My daughter is a child of the Most High God and she does not belong to this young man and his family. My daughter is alway exhausted, forgetful and lives in chaos with this young man but blame this on her jobs, friends or family members. This young man's mother is now interfering in my daughter new promoted job in a negative way. She controls, manipulates and undermines my daughter but then she acts as if she has her best interests at heart. My daughter is such an inspiring young lady, admired and loved by everyone but everyone is witnessing her exhaustion and withdrawal. I thank You Lord for the job promotion you have blessed her with last month. Her jobs serves such a beautiful purpose for others. It is sad to see my daughter blinded and suffering this way. Lord guide my daughter to not put the young man and his family before her faith, supportive family, friends and jobs. I plead the precious blood over me and my children. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. Jesus restore the peace, fellowship, happiness, respect, unity and freedom. I pray that Your supernatural love, favor, protection will overflow in me and my family and will heal all the brokenness. I pray when my older daughter come to visit that she will not be influence by this young man hatred and manipulation toward me and her siblings. Lord I know nothing is impossible for You. Jesus I ask for a Godly spouse for her. Bless her with Your peace, complete restoration and protect my daughter from going down the disruptive path. In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.

 

[Articles]

We hear the burden of your heart for your older daughter and we join with you in seeking the Lord together in Jesus' name for her peace, protection, freedom and complete restoration.

We agree with you that what has been described is not of the Lord. The counsel this young man's mother is giving to live together as if married, to have children outside of marriage, and to treat a dating and cohabiting arrangement as a marriage is ungodly and contradicts Scripture. The Bible is clear that marriage is honorable among all and the bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers Hebrews 13:4. We are to flee sexual immorality, for every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body 1 Corinthians 6:18. Living together outside of marriage is fornication and it is sin, and it brings exhaustion, financial hardship, confusion and spiritual bondage just as you have seen in your daughter's life. We rebuke that deception and we pray your daughter will no longer defend or commit to this arrangement, but will have the courage to repent and walk away from it.

We also see the pattern of control, manipulation, isolation, financial exploitation and laziness you describe in this young man, and the instigation and interference from his mother. This is not love and it is not biblical leadership. A godly man is called to provide, to protect, to lead with humility and to love as Christ loved the church Ephesians 5:25. What you describe is exploitation and corruption, and the Word warns us that evil companionships corrupt good morals 1 Corinthians 15:33 and that we should have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them Ephesians 5:11. We pray the Lord exposes every hidden motive and frustrates every plan to control, divide and isolate your daughter from you, her siblings, her family and her church friends, for our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Ephesians 6:12.

We agree with you that this woman has no biblical authority to speak into your daughter's life and to usurp the godly foundation you have laid. She is sowing division and confusion while presenting herself as a helper, and we pray the Holy Spirit will open your daughter's eyes to see this. We pray she will remember who she is, a child of the Most High God, created with worth and dignity, and that she will no longer seek approval or guidance from one who looks down upon her and leads her away from the Lord and from her supportive community. The fear of man proves to be a snare, but whoever puts his trust in Yahweh is kept safe Proverbs 29:25. We pray she will put her faith and trust in Jesus again and find her self worth in Him, not in those who make her feel worthless and without family.

We lift up your daughter's finances and her new promotion which we thank God for. We pray she will gain wisdom to protect what God has entrusted to her and to stop using her family as a financial resource and taking on credit card debt to sustain this young man and this toxic lifestyle. If anyone doesn't provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever 1 Timothy 5:8. A man who will not work and who exploits a woman's income is not ready for a relationship and certainly not ready for marriage. We pray she will be delivered from this financial bondage and that every word curse and plot from this woman and her son against her will be blocked and brought to nothing, for no weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17.

We also bring before the Lord your pain as her mother when she has become cold, ungrateful, degrading and rude toward you, even imitating this young man's behavior. We pray the Lord will soften her heart to receive His conviction and to honor her mother as the Lord commands, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you Exodus 20:12. We pray she will stop putting this young man and his family before her faith, her family and her church, and that she will hunger for righteousness again and be transformed by the renewing of her mind Romans 12:2. We pray she will return to the safety and wisdom of her family and church community, not forsaking our own assembling together Hebrews 10:25, and that she will stop confiding in and helping one who does not respect her, especially as this woman now interferes even in her workplace.

We ask the Father to give you strength and wisdom as you continue to love your daughter without enabling sin. We pray you will be given grace to speak the truth in love Ephesians 4:15, to set godly boundaries, and to not grow weary in doing good Galatians 6:9. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him James 1:5. We pray God will grant you discernment to know when to help and when to withhold financial support that only sustains fornication and laziness, and that He will guard your own heart from bitterness.

We pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we have access to You and by which we are saved Acts 4:12, John 14:6. We thank You that You see our daughter, You know her exhaustion, her forgetfulness, her chaos and her withdrawal, and You love her with an everlasting love. Lord, open her eyes to see this man not as a husband, not as a provider, not as a spiritual leader, but as a stumbling block in her walk with You. Break the hold of this toxic influence over her heart, break every ungodly soul tie formed through fornication, and grant her the spirit of power, love and self-control 2 Timothy 1:7 to walk away from this bondage with no regrets. Remove every obstacle and every voice that contradicts Your Word. Reignite in her a hunger for righteousness and for Your presence. Lead her to repentance and to restoration with You, with her family and with her church. We plead the blood of Jesus over this mother and her children, we declare Your protection, Your favor and Your peace over this home, and we ask You to restore the peace, fellowship, happiness, respect, unity and freedom that the enemy has tried to steal, for You will restore to us the years that the swarming locust has eaten Joel 2:25. We pray for a godly spouse for her in Your perfect timing, a believing man who will honor marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman and who will lead her closer to Christ in a courtship that honors You. We ask that You frustrate the interference in her job, bless the work of her hands, and let her shine as the inspiring young lady You created her to be. Let this young man be convicted of his rebellion and laziness and let his own father take responsibility for him and have him move back home alone to learn maturity and accountability. We trust that nothing is impossible for You Luke 1:37. We thank You for hearing our prayer and for Your supernatural love and protection overflowing in this family, healing all brokenness. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

We have been carrying you and your older daughter in prayer, and we hear how heavy and long this road has been for you. Loving a daughter through exhaustion and distance, while watching her pull away from family and church and carry financial weight that is not hers to carry, is painful and wearing. Thank you for loving her so steadily and for celebrating the good we see too, like her recent promotion and the way her work serves others.

One thing that stood out is how much isolation and financial entanglement can cloud clear thinking. When someone is cut off from supportive people and is constantly responsible for another adult's needs, it becomes very hard to hear wisdom or even recognize her own worth. Healthy boundaries are simply the lines that protect what God has entrusted to each of us, our time, energy, finances, and choices, and preserve freedom in relationships so a yes can be yes and a no can be no.

In this season it may help to keep your door consistently open in small, calm ways without debating him or his mother, so your daughter knows home remains safe and loving. It also helps to get support for yourself as you set those lines, a trusted pastor or wise counselor and one or two church friends who can walk with you, pray with you, and help you hold clear limits around money so you are not sustaining their household or taking on debt for it.

We are praying for you both.

Jesus, we lift this daughter to You and ask for Your protection over her heart, mind, finances and work. Give her clarity to see what is harming her, courage to step toward what is healthy, and a renewed hunger for You and for the family and church community that loves her. Strengthen her mother with peace and wisdom for each conversation, and restore fellowship and respect in this family in Your timing and way. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[EnricoLange]

Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect, deliver, heal, save (those not saved) and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. I ask this for them, us and all in need. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

Praying in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer has been laid before the Lord with a heavy and tender burden, and we have heard the cry of a mother's heart for her daughter. The Lord knows the weariness, the division and the chaos which have come through an ungodly counsel and an unholy living arrangement, and He hears the plea for peace, protection, freedom and restoration.

We do not ask the Lord to bless what His Word calls sin, for marriage is the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and to live together outside of it is not marriage in His sight. Neither do we ask Him to prosper a course that has brought exhaustion, financial hardship and isolation from family and the church of Christ. Salvation and deliverance are through Jesus Christ alone, and it is to Him we look for mercy.

We take comfort that deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin. Where we look for justification, there must we also look for sanctification, for as we are justified through Jesus Christ, we must also expect to receive sanctification from a heavenly source. It is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy. He must bring them forth, and He makes their deliverance effectual. When the lamb was slain, Pharaoh could hold Israel no longer, and when Christ is trusted, the pit cannot hold the soul, for God has said, I have found a ransom.

We pray therefore that the Lord will deliver your daughter from the power of darkness and translate her into the kingdom of His dear Son. That He will open her eyes to see this arrangement for what it is, not a marriage, not a provision, not a spiritual covering, but a stumbling block in her walk with Him. That the Holy Spirit will break the hold of every toxic influence over her heart, frustrate every plan to control, divide and isolate her from you, her siblings, her family and her church friends, and expose what is rooted in pride, selfishness and manipulation. We pray that no weapon formed against you and your children shall prosper, and that every word and plot meant to curse or to bind her will be brought to nothing by the Lord.

We ask the Lord to grant her a true sense of her worth as a child of the Most High God in Christ, that she may no longer feel worthless or without a home, for she has a loving family who raised her in the ways of the Lord. May He soften her heart to receive conviction, restore to her a hunger for righteousness, and give her courage to walk away from bondage with no regrets. As Peter was restored not by his own resolve but by the crowing of the cock and a look from the Lord which severed him from the crowd, so we pray the Lord will give her such a look of love and conviction that she will weep, repent and return. And being restored, may she strengthen her brethren and walk in double earnestness.

We pray for practical deliverance also. That He will give her wisdom to protect what He has entrusted to her, to take on no more debt to sustain this man and this manner of life, to see that the exhaustion and financial hardship are the fruit of a path outside His will, and to cease imitating harsh and disrespectful ways toward you. We thank God for the promotion He has lately given her in her work which serves others for good, and we pray He will guard that work from interference and keep her from withdrawing from those who love her. We pray that the young man will be led to return to his father's house alone, that his father will take up his proper responsibility, and that both he and his mother will be brought under conviction, to see that to encourage living together and bearing children outside of marriage and to place undue responsibilities upon your daughter is to enable corruption and rebellion rather than to correct it.

For you who have prayed so long, we pray the Lord will keep you from fainting. It is a glorious thing to have a well in the family where in prayer with the children you can bring all the necessities of the household before God. Continue there. The clock of mercy strikes in Heaven the hour and moment of deliverance according to His eternal purpose, and He often whispers to the heart of His children in trial that they shall not be crushed. May He keep you tender yet firm, loving yet not enabling, speaking the truth without bitterness, and leaving vengeance and vindication to Him.

We do not ask for a hasty new union to heal this wound, but we do pray that if it be His will in His time, He will provide a godly spouse according to His Word, a man who will love Christ, cherish her, provide and lead spiritually within holy marriage. Until then, we pray He will lead her back to the safety and wisdom of her family and church community, to follow biblical teaching again and to put her faith before any human tie.

We plead the precious blood of Christ over you and your household, and we ask for supernatural love, favor and protection to overflow and to heal all brokenness, that peace, fellowship, happiness, respect, unity and freedom may be restored. May your daughter live and declare the works of the Lord, giving hearty assent to His salvation, and may your family know that He brought you forth with enrichment, not taking the honor to yourselves but ascribing all to free grace.

We join our faith with yours, asking all these mercies in the name of Jesus Christ our only Redeemer. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been heard and I join you in lifting your daughter and your family before the Lord Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have salvation and access to the Father.

We pray first for your daughter, that the Holy Spirit would open her eyes to see the truth clearly. This living together outside of marriage is not the marriage covenant God ordained for one man and one woman for life, and it cannot be treated as if it were. We do not ask God to bless or sustain what is contrary to His Word, but we ask Him to convict, to cleanse, and to lead her into repentance and freedom. May she remember that by faith in Christ she is a daughter of the Most High, made whole not by any human approval but by His grace, and may that faith give her courage to turn from this bondage with no regret.

We ask the Lord to break the hold of every controlling and manipulative influence over her heart. Where there has been division, isolation, and words that have made her feel worthless and without family, we pray for exposure and for frustration of every plan meant to control and divide. Where she has been made to carry responsibilities that are not hers, to provide financially for a man who is not her husband and to bear the weight of his laziness and disrespect, we pray for wisdom to protect what God has entrusted to her, to take on no more debt to sustain this way of life, and to see the exhaustion and chaos for what it is, the fruit of walking outside of God's order.

We pray for the young man and his mother. We ask that God would expose motives rooted in pride, jealousy and selfishness, and bring them to repentance. May the young man see that he is not ready to be a husband, protector, or spiritual leader, and may his father be moved to call him home and to take responsibility for him. May this mother see that she has no biblical authority to direct your daughter away from her family and her church, and that in encouraging cohabitation, children outside of marriage, and dependence on her counsel, she is leading your daughter away from righteousness. We pray that every word spoken against your daughter and every scheme to undermine her would be blocked and come to nothing, and that God would guard her new promotion and her workplace from interference.

We pray for you, that God would soften your daughter's heart toward you and restore honor and kindness in her speech and actions toward you and her siblings. We ask Him to reignite in her a hunger for righteousness, a love for His Word, and a desire for the safety and wisdom of her family and church community. As the Scriptures teach, the true adornment and joy of a marriage is found not in outward things but in piety of soul, gentleness, and the fear of God. We pray that if it is His will for her to marry, He would in His time provide a godly husband who will truly be a husband and protector according to His design, and until then grant her the self worth and courage to remain pure and to walk in orderliness and virtue, which alone bring lasting pleasure and peace.

We plead the blood of Jesus over you and your children and ask for His supernatural protection, favor and healing over every broken place. We pray for the restoration of peace, fellowship, respect, and unity in your home, and that when your daughter visits, she would be guarded from hatred and manipulation and drawn instead toward love and truth. Nothing is impossible with God, and we trust Him to bring freedom and complete restoration in His perfect way.

Father, grant this family perseverance in prayer, discernment to speak the truth in love, and unwavering trust in Christ. Let your will be done and let your name be glorified in their lives. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

 

[Jonathan_M]

Praying for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your heartfelt prayer for your daughter is heard, and your desire to see her protected, free and restored is right and good. You have discerned clearly what God has shown you, that living together outside of marriage is not marriage in His eyes, that it does not carry the covenant, commitment and covering that God designed for one man and one woman for life, and that when His design is set aside, the fruit is often jealousy, rivalry, exhaustion, financial strain and confusion. Scripture shows this pattern again and again. When people step outside God's order for the home, difficulties multiply.

What you describe about isolation and control is also a serious concern. God created family to be a place of safety and wisdom. When the Lord spoke to Jacob, He called him to return to the land of his fathers and to his family with the promise, I will be with you. That call to come back to family and to the place where God could meet him was for his protection and his future. In the same way, your prayer for your daughter to return to the fellowship and wisdom of her family and her church is a biblical prayer. A loving family that raised her in the ways of the Lord is a gift from God, and no other voice that encourages what is contrary to Scripture has authority to replace it.

Living in the midst of a corrupting influence takes a toll, even on those who were raised to know the Lord. The example of Lot is sobering. He had a strong background, yet choosing to dwell in a polluted environment cost him and his children dearly in their morals and peace. Your daughter's weariness, forgetfulness, financial hardship and the chaos you see are not simply from work or other pressures. They are the natural result of carrying burdens God never asked her to carry, taking on responsibilities that belong to a husband within marriage, and trying to sustain a household that is built outside of His will. It is right to pray that she will stop using credit and family resources to support this arrangement and that God will give her wisdom to protect what He has entrusted to her.

At the heart of every struggle is our relationship with God. The first commandments concern our relationship with Him, because when that relationship is not right, no other relationship can be right. When our walk with God is restored, other relationships begin to come back into balance. What your daughter needs most is not the approval of this young man's mother or a sense of belonging in that household. She is already a child of the Most High God. Through Jesus Christ alone we are adopted into God's family, born again by His Spirit, and given the privilege to call Him Our Father. That is a close, intimate, loving relationship, not a legal or ritual one. God does not want mere outward religion. He wants her heart. He wants to restore her first love for Him, that hunger for righteousness, for His Word and for fellowship with His people that she once knew. Only when she sees her worth in Him will she be able to recognize voices that make her feel worthless and familialess for what they are.

I join you in praying to that end.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we ask for Your mercy and intervention for this daughter. Open her eyes to see the truth. Let her see this young man not as a husband, provider or spiritual leader, but as a stumbling block to her walk with You. Expose every motive rooted in pride, selfishness, jealousy and manipulation, and frustrate every plan to control, divide and isolate her from her family and church. Break the hold of this toxic influence over her heart. Soften her heart to receive Your conviction and give her courage to walk away from this bondage with no regrets, not looking back. Guard her finances and give her wisdom to set firm boundaries. Protect the good work You have given her in her job, and block every attempt to interfere with it. Restore to her a hunger for Your Word and for righteous living. Draw her back to the safety of home and to the community of believers who love her. And over you, her mother, and all your children, we plead the blood of Jesus. No weapon formed against you shall prosper. Let Your peace, protection, favor and unity overflow in your home and heal what has been broken.

We also pray for this young man and his mother, that You would show them their own need for repentance and truth. Convict the young man of laziness, dishonesty and disrespect, and help his father to take proper responsibility for his son. May this mother see that she is enabling what is destructive rather than helping.

Continue to stand firm in love, with clear and gracious boundaries. Keep praying, keep speaking truth without harshness, keep the door of home and faith open, and stay rooted in your church community for your own strength. Do not grow weary in asking God to do what only He can do. He is able to restore fellowship, respect, joy and freedom. And in His perfect time and way, He is able to provide a godly spouse according to His design, not as a quick escape, but as a blessing within His will. Trust Him to finish the work He has begun in your daughter's life.
