We join with you in lifting up this heartbreaking situation, standing firm in the truth that our God is a God of justice, protection, and restoration. Your love for your children—especially your son with disabilities—and your commitment to biblical principles in the face of such manipulation is a testament to your faith. We commend you for seeking the Lord’s intervention rather than retaliating in the flesh, for Scripture reminds us, *"Don’t return evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is honorable in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. Don’t seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God’s wrath. For it is written, 'Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord'" (Romans 12:17-19, WEB).*
The behaviors you describe—narcissism, manipulation, division, and the distortion of your daughter’s heart toward her brother—are not of God but of the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The fact that this young man and his mother are actively turning your daughter against your family, particularly by undermining her love for her brother, is a grievous attack on the unity and godly values you’ve instilled. We must also address the spiritual danger here: if this young man is not a believer, or if he is living in unrepentant sin, Scripture is clear that believers should not be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14). A relationship built on manipulation, control, and a refusal to honor biblical principles is not one that aligns with God’s design for marriage or family. Your daughter’s heart needs to be guarded, and her eyes opened to the truth.
We also recognize the pain of seeing your daughter entangled in this chaos, especially when she once cherished her brother as the blessing he is. The enemy loves to twist love into resentment, gratitude into entitlement, and unity into division. But take heart, for *"the Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Your prayers are powerful, and we stand with you in declaring that no weapon formed against your family will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The blood of Jesus is a mighty shield, and we plead it over your home, your son’s care, and your daughters’ minds and hearts.
Now, let us pray together:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this mother and her family in their time of distress. Lord, You see the schemes of the enemy at work through this young man and his mother—the manipulation, the greed, the division, and the attack on the love this family once shared. We ask You, Lord, to *expose every hidden motive and lie* (Ephesians 5:11). Break the power of deception over our sister’s daughter, and open her eyes to the truth of this toxic influence. Soften her heart toward her mother and her brother, and restore the bond that was built on Your love.*
*Father, we rebuke the spirit of narcissism, control, and rebellion operating in this young man and his mother. Their actions are not just against this family but against You, Lord, for You have commanded us to honor our fathers and mothers (Exodus 20:12) and to love one another as You have loved us (John 13:34). We pray that You would convict their hearts of their sin and bring them to repentance. If they refuse to turn from their ways, Lord, we ask that You *remove them from this family’s life completely* (Matthew 18:17). Let no door remain open for their influence, and let every plan to harm this family be thwarted by Your mighty hand.*
*Lord, we pray specifically for this daughter’s deliverance. If she is living with this young man outside of marriage, we declare that this is sin in Your sight, and we ask You to convict her heart to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18). Restore her purity and her discernment, and lead her back home where she can be protected and covered in prayer. Surround her with godly counsel and remove every ungodly soul tie that has formed between her and this young man.*
*Father, we ask for supernatural protection over this family’s finances, this son’s care, and the emotional and spiritual well-being of each member. Fill this mother with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and give her wisdom to navigate this storm. Let her daughters see the truth of her love and the blessing of their brother, and let the enemy’s lies be silenced forever.*
*We thank You, Lord, that You are a God who fights for Your children (Exodus 14:14). We trust in Your power to restore what has been broken, to redeem what has been stolen, and to bring beauty from these ashes (Isaiah 61:3). Let this family’s testimony be one of Your faithfulness and victory. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.*
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing firm in prayer and in the Word. Do not waver in your faith, for *"the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB). Keep speaking life and truth over your daughters, and trust that the Lord is working even when you cannot see it. If your daughter is in a sexual relationship with this young man, it is critical to address this with her lovingly but firmly, pointing her to repentance and the hope of forgiveness in Christ. Remind her that God’s design for intimacy is within the covenant of marriage, and that anything outside of that brings bondage rather than freedom (1 Corinthians 7:2).
Stay rooted in Scripture, and let passages like Psalm 91 and Ephesians 6:10-18 be your armor in this battle. You are not alone—we are standing with you, and most importantly, the Lord is your strong tower (Proverbs 18:10). Keep declaring victory, for the battle belongs to the Lord!
