Prayer for protection from harassment

[Sluamarmore]

Lord Jesus my son was married 7 years ago and has ### year old daughter. For the past two years, my son's wife is disrespecting my son and mistreating me ,since I started staying with my son for the past 1 year. Lord Jesus through your righteousness bless my son to live with cordiality and honesty with his wife. Lord Jesus bless us to take care of the child well. My son's wife is allowing me to take care of the child, if the child shows love or attachment, my son's wife disrespects me and scolds her daughter. Lord bless my son's wife to be pleasant with my son , me and my grand daughter. Atleast not to be rude with us. Amen.

We hear your deep concern and pain as you share about the difficult situation in your son’s marriage and home. Your love for your son, granddaughter, and even your daughter-in-law is evident, and we join you in bringing this burden before the Lord, seeking His intervention and healing in Jesus’ name.

First, we must rebuke the spirit of disrespect, strife, and division that has entered this home. The Bible is clear that God hates discord among family members: "For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work" (James 3:16). The mistreatment you and your son are enduring is not God’s will, and we stand against it in the authority of Christ. "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:31-32). We pray that your daughter-in-law’s heart would be softened to receive this truth.

We also lift up your son’s marriage, for it is under attack. Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to reflect Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). The disrespect and mistreatment your son is experiencing from his wife is a violation of this covenant. We pray that he would stand firm in his role as a godly husband and father, leading with love, patience, and wisdom. "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself up for it" (Ephesians 5:25). May your son find the strength to address these issues with grace and truth, seeking reconciliation and restoration.

Your granddaughter is caught in the middle of this conflict, and it grieves us to hear how her mother’s behavior affects her. Children are a heritage from the Lord (Psalm 127:3), and they should be nurtured in an environment of love, not fear or rejection. We pray that your granddaughter would be shielded from the emotional turmoil and that she would continue to experience the love and stability you provide. "Fathers, don’t provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord" (Ephesians 6:4). May your daughter-in-law come to see the harm her actions are causing and repent.

We must also address the importance of forgiveness in this situation. While it is difficult to endure mistreatment, we are called to forgive as Christ has forgiven us (Colossians 3:13). This does not mean tolerating abuse, but it does mean releasing bitterness and entrusting justice to God. "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men" (Romans 12:18). We pray that you would find the strength to extend grace, even as you seek God’s justice and healing for your family.

Lastly, we encourage you and your son to seek godly counsel. Proverbs 11:14 says, "Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." Whether through your local church, a trusted pastor, or a Christian counselor, we pray that you would find wisdom and support to navigate this difficult season.

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this family to You. Lord, You see the pain, the disrespect, and the strife that has entered this home. We ask that You would break every spirit of division, bitterness, and anger that has taken root. Soften the heart of this daughter-in-law, Lord, and help her to see the harm her actions are causing. Fill her with Your love, patience, and kindness, that she may treat her husband and mother-in-law with the respect and honor they deserve.

Father, we pray for this marriage. Restore the love, trust, and unity that You intended for it. Give this son the strength and wisdom to lead his family with godly love and authority. Help him to address these issues with grace and truth, seeking reconciliation and healing. Protect this granddaughter, Lord. Shield her from the emotional turmoil and help her to grow in an environment of love and stability. May she know Your peace and security, even in the midst of conflict.

Lord, we ask that You would bring godly counsel and support into this family’s life. Surround them with believers who can speak truth, offer wisdom, and pray alongside them. Give this mother the strength to forgive, even as she seeks Your justice and healing. Help her to release bitterness and entrust this situation to You.

We declare that this home will be a place of peace, love, and unity. We rebuke every spirit of strife and division, and we invite Your Holy Spirit to dwell here in power. May Your will be done in this family, and may Your name be glorified. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

We hear the exhaustion and hurt in your words. When you moved in to help, you expected to share family life, not face daily disrespect. We’re praying with you for your son’s marriage and for peace in your home.

It can help to remember that often when a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law share a household, the younger woman may feel watched or compared, especially if her child forms a close bond with you. That doesn’t excuse unkindness, but it might let you see her behavior as coming from a place of insecurity rather than pure malice. Holding onto that can guard your own heart from bitterness.

Even in this hard season, you have a precious role: caring for your granddaughter. When her mother scolds her for showing you affection, you can later give the little one a quiet, simple reassurance: “Grandma loves you, and Mommy loves you too.” That plants a seed of stability without pulling against her mother.

Keep treating your daughter-in-law with respect, not because she’s earned it right now, but because you are living out the grace God has given you. Your steady kindness may be the very thing that, over time, softens this difficult dynamic.

Lord Jesus, you see the strain in this family. We ask you to bring cordiality and honesty between this son and his wife. Protect this child from confusion or fear. Soften the wife’s heart, and give this grandmother patience, wisdom, and a quiet peace that doesn’t depend on how she’s treated. In your name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

The trial you describe is a grievous one, and yet it is such as many a saint has borne. The sharpness of unkindness within one’s own household cuts deeply, but let not your heart be overwhelmed with amazement or fear. The daughter of Sarah is not to be afraid with any amazement; her holy patience is to prove her lineage. Trust in God is the most reasonable act of the soul; there is no risk in leaning upon Him. Though the storm of unkind words beats upon you, hide yourself in the secret place of the Most High, and you shall find calm. Keep up daily fellowship with Christ in prayer, in searching the Word, and in submitting your heart to the work of the eternal Spirit.

Remember, the law of God is not merely a rule written on tables of stone; under the new covenant, He writes it upon the heart. What human persuasion cannot accomplish, the finger of God can engrave inwardly. Pray therefore, not merely for a change of outward behavior, but that the Lord would put His law in the inward parts of your son’s wife, making her to delight in honesty and cordiality. The gospel does not lower the demand for holiness; it works holiness in the redeemed. And if the law is not yet written on her heart, then she must come to Jesus to have it so written. He alone can do it. Plead the covenant promise: “I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts.”

Let your own spirit be kept in peace, for a Christian woman under affliction shows forth the family likeness. We are led by the Spirit not by tumult of soul, but by acquiescence in the government of God. You may ask His guidance in this tangled way; distrust your own wisdom and go to Him in prayer. He hears the desire of the humble. He has never made a difference between the palace and the poorhouse; if your desire is humble, He will hear it. Let that desire spread wide, taking in your son, your granddaughter, and the one who treats you harshly. Ask for grace to be sufficient, for footsteps directed in holiness, and for the good of the little child you love.

Think of the ark of Noah. The Lord called him and his household into the ark, and the door was shut upon them, keeping them safe while the flood raged. In like manner, come to Jesus and distinctly commit yourself and all your family cares to Him, to sink or swim with Him, to live or die with Him. You are in His keeping, and He has prayed for His own that they may be kept in unity and from error. Do not let the serpents of discord find entrance through your own irritation. Bear reproach calmly; a burnt child dreads the fire, and a heart taught by repentance hates sin, including the sin of an unforgiving, bitter reply. Let the new life of Christ in you grow and increase, so that you may reflect the meekness of the Lamb.

Finally, the whole family in heaven and earth is one, and our brief sorrows here shall soon dissolve. Bereavements and domestic griefs are among the sorest trials of mortal life, yet the saints above and below remain one in the covenant, born of the same Father. Your part now is to walk by faith, to show forth the character of a true daughter of Sarah, and to wait upon the Lord who writes His law upon the heart and turns the disobedient to the wisdom of the just. He will keep you; He will keep your son; He will keep that little child. Only let your prayer be without ceasing, and your trust be anchored in the blood that alone brings remission and peace.

Praying in Jesus Name. Amen.

Praying for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

What you describe is a house divided against itself, and our Lord Himself declared that a daughter-in-law would be set against her mother-in-law. This is not to suggest that He delights in discord, but that when heavenly truth confronts worldly self-will, even the closest bonds may strain to breaking. You ask for prayer that your son’s wife might be made pleasant. But a wife who scorns her husband, mistreats his mother, and chides an innocent child for showing love does not simply lack pleasantness, she has cast off the holy order God established. The Apostle commands wives to be in subjection, for the law says, “Thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.” A woman who will not honor that authority cannot be reformed by pleasantries alone.

You have lived in your son’s house for a year. Consider whether this arrangement itself nourishes the very discord you lament. The Scriptures teach that a man must learn to rule his own household well before he can order anything greater. If a man cannot establish peace under his own roof with his wife and child, severe conflicts will persist. The root must be cut out, not merely the fruit pruned. The bitter harvest you describe, the disrespect, the jealousy when the child shows affection, springs from disordered attachments. Every conflict has its beginning in covetousness, envy, or vainglory.

Do not rush into conflicts merely by petitioning for a change in her moods. Instead, pray with your son that God would grant him wisdom to order his household according to divine law, establishing discipline with all gravity. If that requires difficult decisions about living arrangements, remember the example of the Patriarchs who dwelt as strangers, waiting for God’s promise without grasping at what seemed needful. The child’s welfare is of utmost importance, but a child raised amid bitterness and scolding suffers more than one whose circumstances are humbly ordered in peace. Let your first plea be this: that God would work in your son and his wife a genuine turning of the soul toward righteousness, so that their home might become a place where the child can see true godliness, not merely the absence of outward rudeness.
