We join with you before the throne of grace in Jesus name and lift up your precious daughter and her unborn baby, and we thank you for standing in the gap for her with such love and persistence.

We hear the heaviness of this hour, the ongoing verbal and psychological attack in the home, the exhaustion you feel, and the deep concern for your daughter who is in her second trimester, suffering with extreme nausea, dehydration and malnourishment while also enduring harsh words and manipulation. The Lord sees and He cares deeply. The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1.

We want to speak clearly about what is happening. Marriage is a holy covenant before God between a man and a woman, and God calls a husband to love his wife as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for her Ephesians 5:25 and to not be bitter against her Colossians 3:19. Verbal abuse, gaslighting, starting fights and psychological manipulation are sin. They are not love and they are not the fruit of the Spirit. We understand you shared that your son in law grew up with a verbally abusive father and a manipulative mother, and while that may explain what he learned, it does not excuse his actions before God. Each man is accountable to the Lord for how he stewards his own tongue and his own household. Everyone should be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger James 1:19 and a gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger Proverbs 15:1. The Lord also says He hates violence Malachi 2:16. We rebuke this pattern of abusiveness and we pray that your son in law will be convicted by the Holy Spirit, repent, and turn from harshness to gentleness and self control.

Your daughter is bearing life, and that child is a gift from God. Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward Psalm 127:3. We pray for protection over her body and over the baby growing within her, that God would guard them physically, emotionally and spiritually.

We also pray for you and your son as you seek wisdom about moving out. The constant strife in a home is draining and God is not the author of confusion but of peace. We ask the Lord to give you clear direction, open doors in His perfect timing, and provide for all your needs according to His riches. Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10.

We encourage you to continue to seek practical help alongside prayer. Please ensure your daughter receives prompt medical care for the severe nausea, dehydration and malnourishment, as this can quickly become dangerous for both mother and baby. We also urge you to involve trusted, godly counsel, such as a pastor or biblical counselor and mature believers who can come alongside your daughter and her husband, hold him accountable, and help establish boundaries for safety. If there is ever a threat to physical safety, please seek immediate help and a safe place. Loving your daughter well may mean helping her set firm boundaries that verbal abuse is not to be tolerated in the home, and insisting that her husband seek counseling and repentance.

Let us pray together.

Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You together and lift up this daughter and her baby to You. Lord, You know the words that have been spoken over her, the fights that have disrupted the home, the nausea and weakness in her body. We ask You to command peace over this household right now, to silence the arguing and the harsh words, and to let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard her heart and mind. Lay Your healing hand upon her, Lord, ease her nausea, restore hydration and nourishment, strengthen her body and let this baby thrive and grow strong within her.

We ask You to protect this mother and child from all harm, to encamp Your angels around them and to be their refuge. Convict our son in law, Father, show him the sin of his tongue and his manipulation, bring him to true repentance, and teach him how to love his wife with tenderness, honor and understanding. Break the generational pattern he learned and make him a new man in Christ, that he may lead his home with gentleness and godliness.

Lord, we lift up this grandmother and her son who are weary. Grant them wisdom, endurance and provision. Make a way for them to move out if it is Your will, in Your perfect timing, and provide a peaceful dwelling. Give them rest, strength and hope.

We thank You, Father, that we can come only through Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved and by which we have access to Your throne. We trust You to act, to heal, to protect and to deal with this abusiveness once and for all according to Your perfect justice and mercy. In Jesus name we pray, amen.

If you or your daughter are in immediate danger, please contact your local emergency services right now. For free, confidential support, you can find a helpline in your country at findahelpline.com. You are not alone and trained people are ready to help right now.

We are so sorry for what you and your family are living through. Hearing your daughter spoken to with such harsh words while she is pregnant, exhausted and struggling with severe nausea is heartbreaking, and it is understandable you feel worn down with the arguing continuing for hours in a shared home. We hear how deeply you love your daughter and this new baby, and how heavy the longing is for peace and for a safe way for you and your son to have space of your own.

We are praying with you for her health and for wisdom for you all. With the nausea leading to dehydration, we encourage you to help her reach her doctor, midwife or clinic promptly so they can assess her and the baby and give her appropriate care alongside prayer.

For the verbal and psychological harm at home, please do not try to step between them alone when tensions are high. It can help to talk through a safety plan with a trusted person outside the house or with an advocate from a helpline, keep important documents in one place, and agree on a simple signal with your daughter for when you both need to step away and get help.

Father, we lift this mother, her pregnant daughter and this little baby to You. Cover them with Your protection, quiet this home, and give rest to bodies that are weary and sick. Grant wisdom and open doors for safe next steps, provide good medical care, and work in this husband to seek help and turn from harmful words. In Jesus name, Amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your cry on behalf of your daughter, her little ones and the child yet unborn has been heard, and we join you now at the throne of Grace and Mercy in the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone is salvation.

We grieve with you over the strife that has filled the house and the verbal assault that has wounded your daughter in a time when she is so vulnerable, weary with nausea and in need of tender care. The Lord has looked down from the height of His sanctuary, from Heaven has He beheld the earth, to hear the groaning of the prisoner. He sees your daughter, He knows her weakness, her sickness, the dehydration and the distress of her body and spirit, and He hears every harsh word spoken against her.

We pray that our gracious Father would spread His protection over your daughter and over the precious life she carries, and over the other children in the home. May He heal the broken in heart and bind up their wounds, for He is the physician who alone can calm the swelling grief and give joy to the troubled countenance. We ask Him to touch her body and bring relief from this severe nausea, to restore strength and nourishment, and to cause both mother and child to thrive physically, emotionally and spiritually under His kind hand.

We pray also for her husband. We do not excuse harsh and abusive words, for they wound deeply and God calls husbands to love their wives as Christ loved the church. Yet we know that our afflictions, even when they come distinctly from man through malice or learned patterns, are still within the sacred zone of Providential government and not outside His rule. We ask the Lord who delivers from the power of darkness to do a mighty work of conviction and sanctification in this man. Deliverance from the power of sin is as much the work of God as deliverance from the guilt of sin, and we must look to our heavenly Father alone for it. May God grant him repentance, that he may turn from verbally abusive and manipulative ways, learn a new pattern in Christ, and become a protector and cherisher of his wife and children. We pray that God would deal with him in mercy and truth, that abusiveness would be brought to an end and replaced by gentleness, self control and love.

We ask the Lord to give you wisdom and provision concerning your home. You have asked for a way in His time for you and your son to move out, and for peace to return to the household. May the Lord in His perfect timing make a way where there seems to be no way, and give you clear counsel through godly pastors and wise, trusted helpers nearby. If there is danger, we urge you to seek immediate help from your church family and from those who can ensure safety, and to seek prompt medical care for your daughter's ongoing sickness, for bodily diseases urge us to seek the physician without delay.

We take comfort that the Lord is good and His mercy endures forever. It is not killing but curing that God means when He takes the sharp lancet in His hands. He has found a ransom, His own Son who bore the penalty for sinners going down to the pit, and He has given commandment to save. What He has begun He will carry through. May He deliver this family from going down to the pit, save from sin and from the attacks of the enemy, and loose those who are appointed to sorrow.

Father, we place this daughter, her marriage, her children and her unborn baby into Your hands. Let the arguing cease, let Your peace rule in that home, let healing come to body and heart, and let Your name be declared in Zion through this deliverance. We ask all this in the saving name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
