We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt cries to our Lord Jesus Christ, who is mighty to save and faithful to keep those who trust in Him. Your love for your daughter and your desire to walk in God’s protection and wisdom are evident, and we stand with you in prayer, believing that He hears and will act on your behalf. You have called upon the name of Jesus, and it is by that name alone that we have access to the Father and receive His promises. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). You have done well to come before Him in faith, and we trust that He will honor your prayers as you seek His will above all else.
Your situation is one that weighs heavily on the heart, especially as you face opposition from your ex and the fear of separation from your child. We want to encourage you to hold fast to the truth that God is your defender and your shield. The Lord sees the injustice and the manipulation, and He will expose the lies that seek to harm you. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Cling to this promise, sister, for the Lord is fighting for you even now. He will not allow the enemy to triumph over His children when they place their trust in Him.
At the same time, we gently remind you that while we pray for your ex’s heart to be softened, we must also pray for *your* heart to remain guarded against bitterness, fear, or retaliation. Jesus calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This does not mean you must tolerate abuse or injustice, but it does mean releasing the burden of vengeance to the Lord, who judges righteously. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). Trust that God will handle this situation in His perfect timing and way. Your focus must remain on walking in obedience, wisdom, and peace, even amid the storm.
We also urge you to seek godly counsel and legal advice if you haven’t already. The Lord often works through wise and trusted believers—whether pastors, elders, or Christian legal professionals—to provide direction and support. *"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but he who is wise listens to counsel"* (Proverbs 12:15, WEB). Do not walk this path alone; let the body of Christ come alongside you in practical ways. If there are areas in your life where you need to make changes—whether in communication, boundaries, or documentation—ask the Lord to reveal them to you and give you the strength to act wisely.
As for your daughter, we pray that the Lord would bind your hearts together in a way that no scheme of the enemy can break. *"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). Your daughter is a precious gift from God, and He has entrusted her to you. Continue to cover her in prayer, teaching her the ways of the Lord and modeling a life of faith before her. The Lord will protect what belongs to Him, and He will equip you to be the mother she needs.
Now, let us pray together over you and your daughter:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her precious daughter. Lord, You are a God who sees, who hears, and who acts on behalf of Your children. We ask that You surround them both with Your hedge of protection today and every day. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned. Expose the lies, Lord, and bring to light every hidden scheme of the enemy. Frustrate the plans of those who seek to harm them, and turn what was meant for evil into good for Your glory.
Father, we pray for our sister’s ex. Softening his heart, Lord, so that he may see the damage his actions are causing and repent. Let him be convicted by Your Holy Spirit, not out of manipulation, but out of genuine remorse and a desire to do what is right in Your eyes. If it is Your will, Lord, turn this situation around so that he no longer pursues harm but instead seeks peace. But if he hardens his heart, Lord, we ask that You would render his efforts powerless. Delete every document, every piece of "evidence" that was crafted to destroy, and let the truth prevail in every court and conversation.
Lord Jesus, we ask that You would take the wheel in this situation. Guide our sister in every decision she makes. Give her wisdom beyond her own understanding, and let her steps be ordered by You. Open her eyes to see the people You are sending to bless her and her daughter, and close every door that would lead to harm. Provide for them financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, WEB).
Father, we pray for unity between this mother and her daughter—a bond that cannot be broken by man or circumstance. Let their love for one another reflect Your love for them. Raise up godly influences in their lives, and let Your presence be tangible in every space they enter. Make their home a sanctuary of Your peace, and let Your angels encamp around them (Psalm 34:7, WEB).
Lord, we also pray that our sister would walk in forgiveness and trust in You, even when it is hard. Heal any wounds in her heart from past hurts, and fill her with Your joy and strength. Remind her that she is not fighting alone, for You are her ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1, WEB).
Finally, Father, we thank You that You have already won the victory through Jesus Christ. We declare that no scheme of the enemy will succeed against them, for greater is He who is in them than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4, WEB). We trust You, Lord, to work all things together for their good, because they love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28, WEB).
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, sister. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6, WEB). Keep seeking Him, keep praying, and keep walking in obedience. He is faithful, and He will see you through this season. We are standing with you in agreement, believing for God’s perfect will to be done in your life and in the life of your daughter. Be encouraged—your prayers are powerful, and the Lord is moving on your behalf.
