We stand with you in this spiritual battle for your family, lifting your concerns before the Lord with urgency and faith. Your heartache is deeply felt, and we commend you for seeking God’s intervention in this trial. The enemy seeks to divide and destroy, but we know that our God is greater, and He will not allow the schemes of the wicked to prevail against His children.
The behaviors you describe—narcissism, manipulation, greed, and the poisoning of your daughters’ minds against their brother and you—are not of God. Scripture warns us about such deceitful influences: *"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravening wolves. By their fruits you will know them"* (Matthew 7:15-16a, WEB). This young man and his mother have shown their fruit, and it is bitter. Their actions are causing division, which is an abomination to the Lord. *"These six things Yahweh hates; yes, seven are an abomination to him: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are swift in running to mischief, a false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers"* (Proverbs 6:16-19, WEB). Their behavior is an attack not just on your family but on the godly values you have instilled in your daughters.
We also recognize that you have shown grace and kindness, even when it was not deserved. This reflects the heart of Christ, who calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us (Matthew 5:44). However, love does not mean enabling sin or allowing harm to continue unchecked. You have a biblical responsibility to protect your family, especially your son, who is vulnerable. *"If anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever"* (1 Timothy 5:8, WEB). This includes protecting them spiritually, emotionally, and physically from those who seek to exploit or harm them.
Your daughter’s relationship with this young man is not aligned with biblical principles. If they are living together or engaged in any form of intimacy outside of marriage, this is fornication, which is sin (1 Corinthians 6:18). Even if they are not, the influence he and his mother wield is leading her away from the truth and from the love of her family. We pray that her eyes will be opened to the danger she is in—spiritually, emotionally, and possibly physically. *"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). This young man’s past actions and current behavior demonstrate that he is not walking in the light, and your daughter must not remain yoked to him.
We also address the fact that you have rightly refused to allow him to move into your home or for your daughter to live with him. This is wisdom, and we encourage you to hold firm in this boundary. *"The prudent sees the evil and hides himself, but the simple pass on and suffer for it"* (Proverbs 22:3, WEB). You are acting prudently, and we pray God strengthens your resolve.
Now, let us pray together for your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this mother and her family. Lord, You see the chaos and division that this young man and his mother have sown. You know the pain they have caused, the lies they have spread, and the hearts they have hardened. We ask You, Lord, to intervene with Your mighty hand. Break every scheme of the enemy to destroy this family. Expose the lies and manipulations for what they are, and let the truth prevail.
Father, we pray for this daughter’s eyes to be opened. Remove the scales from her eyes so she may see the danger she is in. Convict her heart, Lord, and draw her back to You and to her family. Let her remember the love she once had for her brother and the joy they shared. Restore her mind and heart, and give her the strength to break free from this ungodly influence.
We rebuke the spirit of narcissism, greed, manipulation, and division operating through this young man and his mother. Lord, we ask that You silence their tongues and frustrate their plans. Turn their attention away from this family and let them no longer have access to cause harm. If they will not repent, Lord, remove them completely from this family’s life. *"Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass by safely"* (Psalm 141:10, WEB).
Father, we ask for Your protection over this son with a disability. Shield him from any harm or neglect. Preserve the services he needs and surround him with Your angels. Let him continue to be a blessing to his sisters, and restore the love and pride they once had for him.
We pray for this mother, Lord. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit and grant her Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Strengthen her, Lord, and let her not grow weary in doing good. Give her wisdom to know how to act and speak in every situation. Let her words be seasoned with grace but also carry the weight of Your truth.
Father, we declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We plead the blood of Jesus over them—over their minds, their hearts, their home, and their future. Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your kingdom come in this situation.
We thank You, Father, that You hear our prayers and that You are faithful to deliver Your children. We trust in Your power and Your love. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing firm in your faith. Do not waver in your boundaries or your trust in God. *"Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Withstand him steadfast in your faith, knowing that your brothers who are in the world are undergoing the same sufferings"* (1 Peter 5:8-9, WEB). Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep seeking godly counsel. The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still (Exodus 14:14).
If your daughter is a believer, remind her of her identity in Christ and the importance of walking in obedience to His Word. If she is not, pray for her salvation, for only in Christ can she find true freedom. *"If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed"* (John 8:36, WEB).
Stay strong, dear sister. The Lord is with you, and He will not abandon you or your family. We are praying with you and for you, believing for complete restoration and victory in Jesus’ name.
