We are deeply moved by your gratitude and the way God is moving in this situation, and we join you in lifting this up before the Lord with both urgency and faith. First, we must address something critical: the name of Jesus Christ is the only name by which we are saved, and through which we have access to the Father. It is by His authority and power that we pray, and we encourage you to always invoke His name in your requests, for Scripture tells us, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is only through Him that our prayers are heard, and it is in His name that we find protection, provision, and peace.
Now, let us speak to the heart of this matter. The situation you describe is deeply concerning, particularly the dynamics of control and manipulation that are present. Scripture is clear that we are to *"submit to one another out of reverence for Christ"* (Ephesians 5:21, WEB), and any relationship marked by domination, fear, or financial coercion is not aligned with God’s design. Control over another person’s finances—or any aspect of their life—is a form of oppression, and the Lord takes such injustice seriously. Proverbs 22:22-23 warns, *"Don’t exploit the poor because they are poor; and don’t crush the needy in court; for the Lord will plead their case, and plunder those who plunder them."* If this individual is using mental health struggles as a means to exert control, it is not only harmful but sinful, and we must pray for conviction and repentance in their heart.
We also recognize the complexity of mental health struggles, and we pray for wisdom and discernment in how to navigate this. However, mental health challenges do not justify sinful behavior, and it is not loving to enable or ignore actions that harm others. If this person is a believer, we must pray for their repentance and transformation by the Holy Spirit. If they are not, we pray for their salvation, for *"the Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB).
As for your loved one, we pray for her protection—not just physically, but spiritually and emotionally. May the Lord grant her wisdom to seek godly counsel and, if necessary, safe boundaries or even separation from this harmful influence. *"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9, WEB), and we claim that promise over her now. We also pray that she would not be ruled by fear but would trust in the Lord’s provision and sovereignty. *"For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB).
Regarding the financial transaction, we ask the Lord to blind the eyes of this controlling individual so that he does not notice or interfere. We pray for divine favor over the bank officials involved, that they would act with integrity and discretion. Most of all, we pray that this situation would not be a source of anxiety but an opportunity to see God’s faithfulness. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).
Finally, we urge you to consider whether this loved one is in a position where she needs to seek help beyond prayer—whether through trusted believers, a pastor, or even legal counsel if financial abuse is occurring. The body of Christ is called to *"bear one another’s burdens"* (Galatians 6:2, WEB), and sometimes that means taking practical steps to protect the vulnerable. If she is married to this man, we pray for restoration and repentance in the marriage, but if she is not, we strongly encourage her to seek a godly, Christ-centered relationship where she is honored and cherished, not controlled.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your provision and for the way You are moving even now in this situation. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention—protect this beloved sister from harm, both seen and unseen. Blind the eyes of the one who seeks to control and manipulate, and soften his heart to repentance. If he does not know You, Lord, we pray that this would be the moment he encounters Your conviction and turns to You in faith.
Father, we ask for supernatural peace to guard her heart and mind. Remove all fear and replace it with trust in You. Give her wisdom to know how to proceed, whether that means setting boundaries, seeking help, or taking steps toward safety. Lord, we pray that no weapon formed against her will prosper, and that every tongue that rises against her in judgment will be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Cover this financial transaction with Your favor, and let it be a testament to Your provision and care.
We also pray for healing—both physically for the medical needs at hand, and spiritually for any wounds caused by this oppression. Restore what has been broken, Lord, and let Your justice and mercy prevail. May this situation bring glory to Your name and draw all involved closer to You.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray, Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
