We lift you up before the Lord with deep compassion, for we see the heavy burden of oppression and emotional exhaustion you are carrying. You have done well to call upon the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we find strength, deliverance, and true peace. The Scriptures remind us in **Psalm 34:17-19 (WEB)**, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* Your cry has not gone unheard, and we stand with you in faith, believing God will intervene mightily in this situation.
The behavior you describe—manipulation, verbal abuse, ungodly demands, and the exploitation of your vulnerability—is not only toxic but deeply contrary to the heart of God. **Ephesians 5:3 (WEB)** commands, *"But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints."* This man’s lifestyle of immorality and his attempts to force you into compromising your faith are an abomination before the Lord. You are right to resist his demands, for **1 Corinthians 6:18 (WEB)** warns, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* Your refusal to submit to his ungodly expectations is an act of obedience to Christ, and we commend you for standing firm in your faith.
Moreover, his treatment of you and your children—belittling, accusing, and withholding basic kindness—is not how a man of God should conduct himself. **Colossians 3:19 (WEB)** instructs, *"Husbands, love your wives, and don’t be bitter against them,"* and **Ephesians 6:4 (WEB)** says, *"You fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."* His actions are not only harmful but sinful, and the Lord sees the injustice you and your children are enduring.
We also recognize the financial bondage he has placed upon you by using your living situation as leverage. While the Bible encourages us to honor our commitments, it does not condone oppression or exploitation. **Proverbs 22:7 (WEB)** says, *"The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* However, our trust is not in man but in the Lord, who is our Provider. **Philippians 4:19 (WEB)** assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* We pray that God will open doors for you to gain independence, whether through employment, housing, or the support of the body of Christ. Do not lose hope, for the Lord is your Shepherd, and you shall not want (**Psalm 23:1**).
As for your children, we thank God that they are disciplined, respectful, and achieving—this is a testament to your godly parenting. The enemy may try to use this situation to discourage or harm them, but we declare **Isaiah 54:13 (WEB)** over them: *"All your children will be taught by Yahweh, and your children’s peace will be great."* We pray that God will shield their hearts and minds from the toxicity around them and that He will grant them supernatural peace and resilience. We also pray that God will soften their father’s heart toward them, that he may see the error of his ways and repent. If he does not, we trust that God will raise up godly mentors and father figures in their lives to fill the void.
Now, we must address something critical: your deliverance from this situation will require both divine intervention and practical steps of faith. While we pray for God to fight this battle, we also encourage you to seek wisdom and counsel from mature believers or a pastor who can help you navigate this season. If you are not already connected to a Bible-believing church, we urge you to find one where you can receive support, prayer, and practical assistance. Additionally, we encourage you to seek legal or financial counsel if possible, to explore your options for leaving this environment safely. The Lord may use these means to bring about your freedom.
Lastly, we want to remind you that your worth and identity are found in Christ alone. This man’s words and actions do not define you. **Psalm 139:13-14 (WEB)** declares, *"For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."* You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and God has a plan for your life and the lives of your children. This season of suffering will not be wasted; the Lord will use it to refine you, strengthen your faith, and ultimately bring you into a place of greater freedom and blessing.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who is weary, broken, and in desperate need of Your intervention. Lord, You see the oppression she faces—the verbal abuse, the manipulation, the ungodly demands, and the financial bondage. You hear the cries of her heart and the pain of her children. We ask that You rise up as her Defender, her Deliverer, and her Strong Tower.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of oppression, control, and immorality that has taken hold in this situation. We bind every demonic influence that seeks to destroy this family, and we command it to flee in the name of Jesus. Lord, expose every hidden scheme of the enemy and bring to light the truth that will set our sister free. We pray that You will confuse the plans of this man, that his words will fall to the ground, and that his heart will be convicted of his sin. Grant him no rest until he repents or removes himself from their lives.
Lord, we ask for supernatural provision for our sister. Open doors for her to find stable housing, employment, or support that will allow her to leave this toxic environment. Give her wisdom to know the right steps to take and the courage to walk in obedience, even when it feels impossible. Surround her with Your people who will come alongside her with practical help, encouragement, and prayer.
We lift up her children to You, Lord. Protect their hearts and minds from the poison of this situation. Let them know they are loved, valued, and cherished by You. Raise up godly influences in their lives to speak life, truth, and hope over them. Give them resilience and peace that surpasses understanding, and let them see Your hand at work in their lives.
Father, we pray for healing for our sister’s heart. Restore her strength, her joy, and her hope. Let her know that she is not alone, that You are with her, and that You will never forsake her. Fill her with Your peace that guards her heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Lord, we ask that You would bring justice to this situation. Vindicate our sister and her children, and let Your righteousness prevail. Break every chain of bondage—spiritual, emotional, and financial—and lead her into the freedom You have purchased for her through the blood of Jesus.
We thank You, Father, that You are already at work. We trust in Your timing, Your goodness, and Your power. Let this season of suffering produce a testimony of Your faithfulness that will bring glory to Your name. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
