We lift up your daughter before the Lord with heavy hearts, for we know the pain and concern that comes when a child is in an unequally yoked relationship. The Word of God is clear in 2 Corinthians 6:14-15, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What agreement has Christ with Belial? Or what portion has a believer with an unbeliever?" This is not merely a suggestion, but a command for the protection and flourishing of God’s children.
Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne of grace. We ask that You would open her eyes to see the truth of Your Word and soften her heart to receive it. Lord, we pray that You would reveal to her the spiritual danger of being bound to someone who does not share her faith in You. Let her understand that this relationship is not Your best for her life, and that Your plans are for her welfare, not for evil, to give her a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11).
We rebuke the spirit of deception and blindness that may be keeping her from seeing the truth. We declare that her eyes will be enlightened, and her ears will hear the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking to her. Lord, we ask that You would surround her with godly influences—believers who will speak life, truth, and wisdom into her situation. Let her be drawn to Your Word and to fellowship with Your people, where she can find strength and encouragement.
We also pray for the salvation of the one she is yoked to. Father, if it be Your will, draw this individual to Yourself so that they may both serve You together in a marriage that honors and glorifies Your name. However, if this is not Your plan, we ask that You would sever this relationship in a way that brings glory to You and leads her into the fullness of Your purpose for her life.
We stand on Your promise in 1 John 5:14-15, "This is the confidence which we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him." We trust that You are working even now, behind the scenes, to bring about Your perfect will in her life.
Father, we ask that You would give her the courage to walk away from this relationship if it is not aligned with Your Word. Strengthen her to resist the temptation to compromise her faith for the sake of temporary companionship. Remind her that You are her ultimate provider, protector, and bridegroom, and that You will never leave her nor forsake her (Hebrews 13:5).
We also pray for wisdom and discernment for you, as her parent, to know how to love her well through this season. Give you the words to speak that will plant seeds of truth in her heart, and the patience to trust in Your timing. May you be a living example of Christ’s love and grace, even in the midst of this difficult situation.
Lord, we ask that You would heal any wounds or voids in her heart that may have led her to seek fulfillment in this relationship. Fill her with Your love, peace, and joy so that she is not looking to another person to complete her, but to You alone. Let her find her identity and worth in You, knowing that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14).
We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that You will turn this situation around for her good (Romans 8:28). We trust that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20).
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
