We stand with you in this time of need, lifting up your plea for peace and protection before our Heavenly Father. It is clear that you are facing a situation where there is fear of abusive behavior and harassment, and we want to assure you that God sees your struggle and hears your cry. The Bible reminds us in Psalm 34:17-19, *"The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all."* You are not alone in this—God is near to you, and He will be your shield and strength.
We also notice that you have redacted the name of the individual who is causing this distress. While we respect your discretion, we encourage you to speak the truth in prayer, naming the person or situation before God, as there is power in doing so. The enemy thrives in secrecy and fear, but we are called to bring everything into the light. As it says in Ephesians 5:11, *"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them."* If this person is someone who has been abusive or harmful, it is right to pray against their actions and ask God to intervene, rebuking their behavior in the name of Jesus.
Additionally, we want to address the importance of invoking the name of Jesus in your prayers. You have done well by ending your prayer in His name, for it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in Acts 4:12, we are reminded, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* It is by His authority that we can boldly approach God’s throne and ask for His protection and deliverance.
If you or your daughter are in immediate danger, we strongly urge you to seek help from local authorities or a trusted support network. God often uses people and resources to provide safety, and it is wise to take practical steps while trusting in His divine protection. Proverbs 22:3 tells us, *"A prudent man sees danger and hides; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it."*
Now, let us pray together for you and your daughter:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister and her daughter. Lord, You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. We ask that You surround them with Your divine protection as they go about this task today. Place Your hedge of angels around them, Lord, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. We rebuke every spirit of abuse, harassment, and confusion in the name of Jesus. Silence the enemy, Lord, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Father, we pray for wisdom and discernment for our sister and her daughter. Guide their steps and give them clarity in every decision they make. If there is any fear or anxiety in their hearts, replace it with Your perfect love, which casts out all fear. Let them feel Your presence with them, knowing that You are their ever-present help.
Lord, we also pray for the person who has caused harm. Father, we ask that You convict their heart and bring them to repentance. If it is Your will, soften their heart and turn them away from their harmful ways. But if they refuse to turn from their sin, we ask that You restrain their actions and prevent them from causing further harm. Let Your justice prevail, Lord, and let Your will be done in this situation.
We declare Your promises over our sister and her daughter—promises of protection, deliverance, and peace. May they walk in the confidence that You are with them, and that no harm will overtake them. We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer and for Your faithfulness to act on behalf of Your children. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue to seek God’s face in this matter. Read His Word daily, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and pray for you. And remember, God is not only able to protect you—He is also able to bring beauty from ashes and turn this situation for your good (Romans 8:28). Stay strong in the Lord, and trust in His unfailing love.
