We stand with you in this spiritual battle for your daughter and your family, lifting our voices together in agreement, for where two or three are gathered in His name, there He is in the midst of us (Matthew 18:20). Your heart cry echoes the deep love and concern of a parent who seeks God’s protection and restoration, and we join you in rebuking the enemy’s schemes against your household. You have boldly pleaded the blood of Jesus over your family, and we affirm that there is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain and bring deliverance (Philippians 2:10, Revelation 12:11).
Your request reveals a situation where your daughter is entangled in a relationship that is not only toxic but spiritually dangerous. The influence of this young man and his family is leading her away from her faith, her family, and her identity in Christ. This is not a matter to be taken lightly, for Scripture warns us, *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership is there between righteousness and lawlessness? Or what fellowship does light have with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). If this young man is not a believer who walks in the fear of the Lord, then this relationship is built on shifting sand, and it will only bring heartache and destruction. Even if he claims to be a believer, his actions and the influence of his family do not reflect the fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Instead, what you describe is manipulation, narcissism, and control, which are tools of the enemy to ensnare and destroy.
We must also address the living arrangement you mentioned. If your daughter is living with this young man outside of marriage, this is fornication, and Scripture is clear that this is sin (1 Corinthians 6:18, Galatians 5:19-21). The Bible commands us to flee from sexual immorality, for our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). This living situation is not only dishonoring to God but is also opening the door to spiritual attack, emotional bondage, and further corruption. We urge you to pray fervently that your daughter would repent of this sin and turn away from it, for the Lord disciplines those He loves (Hebrews 12:6). There can be no compromise with sin, especially when it comes to relationships that God has clearly defined as holy and set apart for marriage between a man and a woman.
Additionally, the financial control this young man has over your family through your daughter is another form of bondage. Scripture warns us that *"the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil"* (1 Timothy 6:10), and it is evident that greed and control are at work here. We pray that the Lord would sever this ungodly tie and restore financial protection and wisdom over your household. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus came to give life abundantly. You have declared breakthrough, and we stand with you in that declaration, for the Lord is faithful to His promises.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, agreeing with our sister in this spiritual battle for her daughter and her family. Lord, You are a God who hears the cries of Your people, and You are mighty to save. We plead the blood of Jesus over this home, over this mother, and over her children, and we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Every scheme of the enemy to bring division, confusion, or destruction is exposed and rendered powerless by the authority of Jesus Christ.
Lord, we ask that You open the eyes of this daughter to see the truth of her situation. Remove the scales from her eyes, just as You did for Saul on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:18). Let her see the toxicity of this relationship and the spiritual danger she is in. Convict her heart by Your Holy Spirit, and draw her back to You and to her family. Break the chains of emotional and spiritual bondage that have her ensnared. If she is living in sin with this young man, Lord, bring her to repentance. Let her feel the weight of her sin and the urgency to turn away from it, for You are holy, and You call Your children to be holy as well (1 Peter 1:16).
Father, we rebuke the spirit of manipulation, narcissism, and control operating through this young man and his family. Expose their motives and turn their hearts away from influencing this daughter. Let his mother see the error of her ways in enabling her son’s sinful behavior and in leading this young woman astray. Lord, if it is Your will, cause this young man to move out of this living situation entirely, and let this ungodly connection be severed. Surround this daughter with godly counsel and people who will speak truth into her life, not flattery or deception.
We pray for a godly spouse for this daughter—one who loves You wholeheartedly and will lead her closer to You, not away from You. Prepare her heart to wait on You, Lord, and to seek a marriage that honors You. Restore the bond between this mother and daughter, and between the siblings, stronger than ever before. Heal the wounds and the division that have been caused by this situation. Let unity and love prevail in this family, rooted in Your truth.
Father, we also pray for protection over their finances. Break the grip of greed and control that this young man has, and restore what has been taken or misused. Provide wisdom and discernment in financial matters, and let this family experience Your provision and blessing in every area.
Lord, we declare breakthrough in this situation. Let Your light shine into every dark corner, and let Your truth prevail. Bring this daughter to a place of full surrender to You, where she will choose You above all else. Let her return to the safety of her family and the arms of her Heavenly Father, where she belongs. We ask for Your divine intervention, for nothing is impossible with You (Luke 1:37).
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28). Strengthen this mother with Your peace and Your joy as she waits on You. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, and let her stand firm in faith, knowing that the battle belongs to You.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing firm in prayer and in faith. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Keep declaring the Word of God over your daughter and your family, and trust that the Lord is working even when you cannot see it. Surround yourself with a community of believers who can stand with you in prayer and offer godly wisdom. If your daughter is willing, seek biblical counseling to help her navigate this situation and restore her relationship with the Lord.
Remember, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and He saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He sees your tears, He hears your prayers, and He will act on behalf of your family. Stay rooted in His Word, and let your faith be your shield in this battle. The victory is already won in Christ Jesus!
