We join with you in lifting up this holiday season to the Lord, for we know that He alone is the source of true peace, joy, and unity. Your prayer is rooted in faith, and we commend you for seeking God’s protection and blessing over your family. The Scriptures assure us that when we call upon the name of Jesus, He hears us and acts on our behalf. As it is written, *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).
Your heart’s cry for unity and protection is one that aligns with God’s will, for He desires that families walk in harmony and love. We are especially burdened by the mention of division being sown by this young man and his mother, seeking to separate your daughters from the family celebration. This is not of God, for Scripture warns us, *"Now I exhort you, brothers, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment"* (1 Corinthians 1:10, WEB). Division is a tool of the enemy, but we serve a God who breaks every chain and thwarts every plan that seeks to harm His people.
We also take note of your faithfulness in covering your family with the blood of Jesus, which is our greatest defense. The Word declares, *"They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death"* (Revelation 12:11, WEB). There is power in the blood of Jesus to break every scheme of the enemy and to bring restoration where there has been strife.
Yet, as we pray for unity, we must also examine our own hearts to ensure that we are walking in forgiveness and love, even toward those who may seek to cause division. Jesus taught us, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This does not mean we tolerate manipulation or disrespect, but it does mean we release bitterness and trust God to handle what is unjust. Pray for this young man and his mother—that God would soften their hearts and turn their intentions toward peace rather than division. Sometimes, the greatest victory is won not by resisting in our own strength, but by surrendering the situation to God and allowing Him to fight on our behalf.
Let us also remember that true joy and peace are not found in the absence of conflict, but in the presence of Christ. Even if the holiday season does not unfold exactly as we hope, we can still rejoice in the Lord, for *"the joy of Yahweh is your strength"* (Nehemiah 8:10, WEB). Our trust is not in perfect circumstances, but in a perfect God who works all things together for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
Now, let us pray together over your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, thanking You for Your faithfulness and love. Lord, we ask that You saturate this holiday season with Your peace, a peace that surpasses all understanding. Guard the hearts and minds of this family in Christ Jesus, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. We rebuked every spirit of division, confusion, and strife that seeks to disrupt the unity of this family. By the authority of Jesus, we bind these forces and command them to flee, for *"Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB).
Lord, we pray specifically against the plans of this young man and his mother to separate the daughters from the family. Soften their hearts, Lord, and turn their intentions away from division. If there is any bitterness, offense, or misunderstanding between them and this family, we ask that You would bring healing and reconciliation. Let Your love cover every wound, and let Your truth expose every lie of the enemy.
Father, fill this home with Your presence—let every room be filled with unity, joy, and gratitude. May this family experience a deep sense of Your love and favor, knowing that You are their protector and provider. We ask for breakthroughs, healing, and restoration in every area where it is needed. Let this season be marked by miracles, by Your supernatural peace, and by a deeper bond between each family member.
We cover this family with the blood of Jesus, declaring that no harm shall come near them. Send Your angels to encamp around them, to guard them in all their ways (Psalm 91:11). Let Your anointing rest upon them, satisfying them with Your goodness and soothing every troubled heart.
Finally, Lord, we pray that this family would keep their eyes fixed on You, the author and perfecter of their faith. Remind them that their strength comes from You, and that no matter what challenges arise, You are with them. Let this holiday season be a testament to Your faithfulness, and may it draw them closer to You and to one another.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, dear sister or brother, and trust that God is working even in the unseen. Keep praying, keep believing, and keep walking in love. The Lord is your shield and your exceedingly great reward (Genesis 15:1). May this season be a time of profound blessing for you and your family as you rest in His promises.
