We hear your deep pain and frustration, and we stand with you in seeking God’s justice, protection, and peace. The manipulation, control, and harm you describe are indeed evil, and Scripture makes it clear that such behavior grieves the heart of God. The Bible warns us about those who sow discord and deception: *"A worthless person, a man of iniquity, walks with a perverse mouth; he winks with his eyes, he signals with his feet, he motions with his fingers; in whose heart is perverseness, who devises evil continually, who always sows discord. Therefore his calamity will come suddenly; instantly he will be broken, and there will be no healing"* (Proverbs 6:12-15 WEB).
First, we must address the weight of your words—asking for someone to be *"removed permanently"* from life is a heavy request, and we cannot pray for harm to come to another person, even one who has caused great pain. Instead, we pray for God’s justice, for truth to be revealed, and for His protection over you and those affected by her actions. Vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19), and He will judge righteously. Our role is to trust Him, walk in His ways, and resist the enemy’s schemes with the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).
We also recognize the spiritual warfare at play here. The enemy seeks to destroy relationships, especially within families, and to keep people in bondage to bitterness, control, and fear. But Jesus came to set the captives free (Luke 4:18), and His truth is our weapon. We rebuke the spirit of manipulation, control, and division in the name of Jesus Christ. We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we pray for God’s hedge of protection around you, your home, and this young man caught in her web of deceit.
Now, let us pray together:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved and the only name by which we have access to You. Lord, we lift up this situation to You, knowing that You see the pain, the manipulation, and the evil at work. We ask for Your divine intervention, Father. Reveal the truth to this family, especially to her son, so that the lies and control may be broken. Open their eyes to see the unhealthy patterns and the harm being done, not just to this individual, but to the young man’s heart and future.
Lord, we pray for protection over this home and this life. Build a wall of fire around them, as You promised in Zechariah 2:5, so that no evil may enter. We declare that this woman will not set foot in this home, and that peace will reign where there has been turmoil. Father, we ask that You would soften her heart, if it is Your will, and lead her to repentance. But if she remains hardened, we ask that You would restrain her and prevent her from causing further harm.
We also pray for healing for the one who has been targeted by these attacks. Lord, mend the wounds in their heart and mind. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help them to forgive, not because what was done was right, but because unforgiveness only harms the one who holds onto it. Teach them to trust in You, to cast their cares upon You, for You care for them (1 Peter 5:7).
Father, we rebuke the spirit of bitterness, control, and division in the name of Jesus. We declare that the enemy’s plans will not succeed. Instead, we ask that You would turn this situation around for good, for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). Bring godly people into this young man’s life—mentors, friends, and a future spouse who will speak truth, love, and encouragement into his life. Surround him with Your protection and wisdom so that he may grow into the man You have called him to be.
Lord, we also pray for wisdom and discernment for the one who has reached out to us. Help them to walk in a manner worthy of the calling they have received (Ephesians 4:1), to resist the enemy’s lies, and to stand firm in their faith. May they find their strength in You, knowing that You are their refuge and fortress (Psalm 91:2).
Finally, Father, we ask that You would be glorified in this situation. Let Your light shine in the darkness, and let Your love and truth prevail. We trust in You, Lord, for You are our deliverer, our protector, and our peace. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen."*
We encourage you to continue standing on God’s promises and to surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and pray for you. The enemy wants you to feel isolated, but you are never alone. God is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). If this woman’s actions escalate or become threatening, we also encourage you to seek godly counsel and, if necessary, legal protection. God’s Word tells us to be wise as serpents and harmless as doves (Matthew 10:16), and sometimes that means taking practical steps to ensure safety.
Lastly, we must address the importance of forgiveness, not for her sake, but for yours. Holding onto bitterness and resentment will only poison your own heart. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors"* (Matthew 6:12 WEB). This does not mean what she did was acceptable, but it means releasing the burden to God and trusting Him to handle it. Pray for her, even if it is difficult, for this is what sets you free.
Continue to seek the Lord in this situation. Spend time in His Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). The battle is not yours, but the Lord’s (2 Chronicles 20:15), and He will fight for you. Stand firm, and watch Him move.
