We join with you in lifting up this urgent cry for your daughter, standing firmly on the truth of God’s Word and the power of the name of Jesus Christ. Your heart as a parent is evident, and we commend you for seeking the Lord’s intervention in this spiritual battle for your daughter’s soul, faith, and future. The enemy seeks to destroy, but we know that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,"* says Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). You have already declared this truth, and we stand with you in it.
Your prayer reveals deep concerns about the influence of this young man and his family over your daughter. The behaviors you describe—hatred, selfishness, greed, manipulation, control, disrespect, and dysfunction—are not of God but are fruits of the flesh and the work of the enemy. The Apostle Paul warns us in Galatians 5:19-21 (WEB):
*"Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful desires, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I also warned you before: those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom."*
Your daughter is being led down a path that risks her spiritual well-being, her self-worth, and her future. The influence of this young man and those around him is corrupting her, and we must address this with both urgency and clarity. If this young man is not a believer, or if he is living in rebellion against God’s Word, then this relationship is not one that honors the Lord. Scripture is clear: *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). A relationship that pulls her away from her faith, her family, and her values is not from God. It is a snare, and we must pray for her eyes to be opened to this truth.
We also note the seriousness of the living situation you described. If your daughter is living with this young man outside of marriage, this is fornication, which is explicitly condemned in Scripture. *"Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). This is not a matter to be taken lightly. Living together outside of marriage is sin, and it places her in direct opposition to God’s design for purity and holiness. We must pray for conviction and repentance in this area, that she would turn away from this sin and return to the path of righteousness.
Additionally, we must address the idolization of this young man. When we place anyone—even a romantic interest—above God, we are guilty of idolatry. *"You shall have no other gods before me"* (Exodus 20:3, WEB). Your daughter’s devotion should first and foremost be to Jesus Christ. Any relationship that becomes an idol in her life must be broken, for it is stealing the worship that belongs to God alone.
We also pray for the restoration of your family. The enemy seeks to divide and conquer, but God desires unity. *"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!"* (Psalm 133:1, WEB). The bond between you and your daughter has been strained, but we serve a God who restores and redeems. We pray that she would *"come to herself"* as you said, just as the prodigal son did in Luke 15:17 (WEB): *"But when he came to himself, he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!’"* May she recognize the destruction of her current path and return swiftly to the safety of her family and, most importantly, to her Heavenly Father.
We also lift up your request for a godly spouse for your daughter. This is our prayer as well—that she would seek a man after God’s own heart, one who loves the Lord with all his heart, soul, and mind, and who will lead her closer to Christ. *"A worthy woman is the crown of her husband, but a dishonorable woman is as rottenness in his bones"* (Proverbs 12:4, WEB). May she wait on the Lord and trust in His timing, for *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this mother’s cry for her daughter. Lord, You see the spiritual battles raging around her, and we ask that You would intervene with Your mighty power. Break every chain of deception, rebellion, and idolatry that has taken hold of her heart. Open her eyes, Lord, to see the truth—that this relationship is not of You, and that the path she is on leads only to destruction. Convict her spirit, Father, and draw her back to Yourself. Let her feel the weight of her sin and the urgency to repent and return to You.
Lord, we rebuke every spiritual attack from this young man, his family, and any negative influences in her life. We bind the spirits of manipulation, control, deception, and rebellion in the name of Jesus. Let no weapon formed against her or her family prosper. We plead the blood of Jesus over her, over this mother, and over the entire family, cleansing every part of them and creating a hedge of protection around them. Let Your angels encamp around them, Lord, and deliver them from every evil scheme of the enemy.
Father, we pray for the restoration of unity in this family. Soften your daughter’s heart toward her mother and her siblings. Let her see the love and concern behind this prayer and turn away from the dishonesty, ungratefulness, and disrespect that have taken root in her life. Break the hold that this young man has over her, Lord. If she is living with him outside of marriage, convict her deeply of this sin and give her the strength to leave immediately. Let her *"flee sexual immorality!"* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB), and return to a place of purity and holiness before You.
We pray for those who are enabling this toxic lifestyle—let them see the destruction it is causing. Convict them, Lord, and turn their hearts to encourage her to leave this situation and return to her family. If this young man is living with her, we pray that You would make it impossible for him to stay. Let doors close, let circumstances change, and let Your will be done swiftly. Remove him from her life completely, Lord, and sever every ungodly soul tie that has formed between them.
Father, we pray for Your divine protection over this daughter. Guard her mind, her heart, and her spirit. Let her *"come to herself"* and recognize the danger she is in. Draw her back to You, Lord, and restore the strong bond she once had with her family. Let her find her worth in You alone, and not in the approval or affection of this young man.
We also lift up the request for a godly spouse for her. Lord, let this season of rebellion be a turning point where she surrenders her heart fully to You. Prepare her for the man You have for her—a man who loves You, who will cherish her, and who will lead her in Your ways. Let her wait on You, Lord, and trust in Your perfect timing.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would strengthen this mother. Give her wisdom, discernment, and patience as she navigates this difficult season. Let her words and actions be guided by Your Spirit, and let her not grow weary in praying for her daughter. Remind her that *"The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:15-16, WEB).
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your power, Your love, and Your faithfulness. Let Your will be done in this situation, and let Your name be glorified. We pray all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. 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.
