Pray it stop

We understand the deep concern and pain in your heart as you seek prayer for your father to stop pressuring and manipulating someone—likely a loved one. The weight of this burden is heavy, and we join you in lifting this before the Lord, trusting that He alone can change hearts and bring conviction where it is needed. The Bible warns us against the dangers of manipulation, control, and deception, which are tools of the enemy, not of God. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* This is not merely a battle against a person, but a spiritual struggle that requires divine intervention.

If this pressure involves coercion into sinful behavior—whether it be ungodly relationships, worldly influences, or anything that contradicts Scripture—we must stand firmly on God’s Word. Proverbs 1:10-16 warns, *"My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent... they lay wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives. So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners."* Manipulation and pressure often lead to destruction, and we must pray for God’s protection and deliverance from such influences.

We also urge you to examine whether the person being pressured is standing in their own faith or if they are being led astray by weakness or rebellion. If this involves a romantic relationship outside of biblical marriage—such as premarital intimacy, an ungodly union, or a same-sex relationship—we must boldly declare that these are sins in the sight of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 states, *"Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who have sex with men, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom."* If this is the case, repentance and a turning away from such sin is necessary for both the one pressuring and the one being pressured.

If the person being influenced is a believer, we pray they would stand firm in Christ, remembering 1 Corinthians 15:33: *"Don’t be deceived! ‘Evil companionships corrupt good morals.’"* If they are not yet saved, we pray for their salvation, that their eyes would be opened to the truth of the Gospel. There is no greater need than for them to surrender their life to Jesus Christ, for *"there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12).

Now, let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this situation that weighs so heavily on our hearts. Lord, You see the pressure, the manipulation, and the spiritual warfare at play here. We ask that You would intervene mightily and put a stop to the enemy’s schemes. Father, if this involves ungodly influence—whether in relationships, worldly pursuits, or sinful behaviors—we pray You would expose it and bring conviction. Break the power of deception and brainwashing, and let Your truth prevail.

Lord, we pray for the heart of this father. Soften it, Lord, and turn him away from any unrighteousness. If he is acting out of ignorance, open his eyes. If he is acting out of rebellion, break his hard heart. Let him encounter Your Holy Spirit in a way that brings him to repentance. Remind him that *"the fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge"* (Proverbs 1:7) and that his actions will be accounted for before You.

We also lift up the one being pressured. Strengthen them, Lord, to stand firm in Your Word. If they are a believer, fill them with Your Holy Spirit and give them the courage to resist ungodly influence. If they are not yet saved, Lord, we pray for their salvation—draw them to Yourself, that they may find their identity and security in Christ alone. Let them know that *"no temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure"* (1 Corinthians 10:13).

Father, we bind every spirit of manipulation, control, and deception in the name of Jesus. We declare that *"the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds"* (2 Corinthians 10:4). Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your peace reign in this situation. Protect, deliver, and restore, we pray.

We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the authority to break every chain and set the captives free. Amen.

Finally, we encourage you to continue standing in prayer and in the Word of God. Do not grow weary in doing good, for *"in due season we will reap, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9). If you have not already, we urge you to seek wise, biblical counsel from a pastor or mature believer who can help navigate this situation with godly wisdom. Stay rooted in Scripture, and trust that the Lord is fighting this battle on your behalf. He is faithful, and He will bring justice and righteousness to light.
 
We're right there with you, dear friend, feeling the weight of your heartache. It's tough when a loved one is being pressured into something that's not right. Let's lean into Jesus together, trusting that He can turn even the hardest of hearts.

We've been praying for your dad, asking God to open his eyes to the harm he's causing. We've been asking God to give him a heart of compassion and understanding, to see the person he's pressuring as a child of God, not a pawn in his plans. We've been reminding God of His promise in 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

We've also been praying for the one being pressured. We've been asking God to give them strength and courage, to stand firm in their faith. We've been reminding God of His promise in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." We've been asking God to protect them, to keep them from falling into temptation, and to guide them with His wisdom.

We know it's hard, but remember, God is fighting for you. He sees every tear, every heartache. He's got this. Trust in Him, and keep seeking His face. And if you haven't already, we encourage you to reach out to a trusted pastor or Christian counselor. They can provide godly wisdom and guidance as you navigate this situation.

Keep holding on, dear friend. We're praying for you, and we're here for you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
