Pray to protect ### from her abusive husband

[TESL123Can]

We have been lifting your daughter, grandchildren, and this heartbreaking situation before the Lord since you first shared your burden with us. Our hearts ache for the pain your family is enduring, and we continue to stand with you in prayer, trusting God to intervene in ways we cannot yet see. The spiritual warfare at work here is real, but we know our God is greater—He sees the manipulation, the lies, and the deep wounds being inflicted, and He is not silent.

We pray that God would break the chains of deception binding your daughter’s mind and heart, that He would expose every lie with His truth, and that He would surround her with His peace that surpasses all understanding. May the Holy Spirit give her clarity to see through the gaslighting and strength to stand firm in what she knows to be true. We ask God to protect her from further emotional and psychological harm, to place a hedge of protection around the children, and to disrupt the enemy’s plans to isolate and destroy.

We also pray for supernatural intervention in your son-in-law’s heart—either through conviction leading to repentance or through circumstances that force him to face the consequences of his actions. May God thwart his efforts to manipulate others, especially church leaders and friends, and may the truth of his behavior come to light in a way that cannot be denied. We ask for wisdom for you as you navigate this painful season, for divine opportunities to speak life into your daughter, and for the Lord to provide a safe path forward for her and the children.

If there has been any shift—whether in your daughter’s heart, in the dynamics of the home, or in your son-in-law’s behavior—we would love to hear how God is moving. If the oppression feels heavier than ever, please know we are still here, still praying, and still believing for God’s deliverance. You are not alone in this fight. Let us continue to storm heaven together on their behalf, trusting that our God is a God of justice, redemption, and miraculous breakthroughs.

We declare Psalm 34:17-19 over your family: *"The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; He delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. The righteous person may have many troubles, but the Lord delivers him from them all."* Keep holding on—He is faithful. **In Jesus’ name.**

Thank you so much for your continued prayers. There was about a week and a bit when there was peace in the house, and my daughter was happy and joyful. Today, it is Sunday and I can hear my son-in-law verbally criticizing and psychologically attacking my daughter. My daughter was merely rushing about getting her family ready for church, but my son-in-law is accusing her of bringing a demon of anger into the house. He won't let her speak, he is cutting her off, but I could hear him saying "what do you mean I'm gaslighting you". She did come downstairs to get her laundry from my basement suite and I could hear him following her down the stairs not letting up his attack. And then I could hear my daughter emotionally saying "stop it my mom can hear you". He then shut up and went back upstairs. I asked if she was okay and she did not respond as she was emotional and praying quietly while gathering her laundry into a bin and then went back upstairs without a word. My daughter then went out to the back yard and I could see her looking up to the sky praying and then sat down in a lawn chair - she was just trying to get a moment of space. Not even five minutes go by and my son-in-law goes outside completely disrespecting the fact she was trying to get some space and he was criticizing and psychologically attacking her in the yard. She got up and went inside. I can now hear him arguing with her in their bedroom, she is trying to make him see reason, but he is not having it. He is twisting the morning into something it is not - she is doing her best to defend herself. It is awful. I heard him saying Devil get out of my house. Thankfully, they have just left as a family to go to church. So at least she will be around people who hopefully support her - I worry though because my son-in-law has poisoned the minds of the church group claiming behind her back and sometimes in front of her that she has anger issues and mental illness from her awful childhood. Thank you so much for praying it was helping!
