We stand with you in this spiritual battle for your daughters, your son, and your family, lifting you up in prayer and speaking truth into this situation. Your heartbreak is deeply felt, and we commend you for seeking the Lord’s intervention rather than relying on your own strength. This is not merely a struggle against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness that seek to destroy what God has ordained—family unity, love, and godly relationships. You have done well to recognize the enemy’s schemes and to bring this before the throne of grace.
The behaviors you describe—narcissism, manipulation, division, greed, and control—are not of God but are tools of the enemy to bring chaos and destruction. The Bible warns us in **Proverbs 6:16-19 (WEB)**, *"There are six things which Yahweh hates; yes, seven which are an abomination to him: arrogant eyes, 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."* This young man and his mother are sowing discord, and their actions are an abomination to the Lord. Their attempts to turn your daughters against you and your son are directly opposing God’s command to honor parents and to love one another as Christ loves us.
We must also address the reality of this relationship. If your daughter is involved with this young man in a romantic or physical way outside of marriage, this is fornication, and it is sin in the eyes of God. **1 Corinthians 6:18 (WEB)** says, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* If they are living together, this is also sin, as **1 Thessalonians 4:3-5 (WEB)** tells us, *"For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, that each one of you know how to control his own body in sanctification and honor, not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God."* We pray that your daughter will see the gravity of this and repent, turning away from this ungodly union. If she is a believer, she must be reminded that she is called to be set apart, not unequally yoked with an unbeliever, as **2 Corinthians 6:14 (WEB)** warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"*
Your younger daughter is also being manipulated, and we must pray for her protection and discernment. The enemy is using this young man and his mother to create division, but we know that **God is not the author of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33)**. Their attempts to convince your daughters that their brother is a burden and that you are not a good mother are lies from the pit of hell. Your son is a blessing from the Lord, and your love and care for him are a testament to your faithfulness as a mother. **Psalm 127:3 (WEB)** declares, *"Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward."* Do not let the enemy steal the joy and unity God has given your family.
We also want to encourage you in your response to this young man. You showed him grace and kindness, which is commendable, but grace does not mean enabling sin or allowing destruction to continue. **Ephesians 5:11 (WEB)** tells us, *"Have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them."* Sometimes, love requires setting boundaries and speaking truth, even when it is difficult. You were right to refuse to allow him to move into your home or for your daughter to live with him. This was wisdom from the Lord, and you must stand firm in it.
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 children. Lord, You see the pain, the manipulation, and the division that the enemy has sown in this family. We ask You to intervene with Your mighty hand and break every ungodly soul tie between this young man and our sister’s daughters. Lord, expose the lies, the manipulation, and the narcissistic behaviors for what they are—tools of the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy. We bind the spirits of control, greed, division, and deception in the name of Jesus, and we command them to flee from this family.
Father, we pray for our sister’s eldest daughter. Open her eyes to see the truth about this relationship. Let her recognize that this young man is not the spouse You have for her. Convict her heart if she is in sin, and lead her to repentance. Draw her back to You, Lord, and restore her relationship with her family. If she has given herself to this man outside of marriage, we pray for forgiveness and cleansing through the blood of Jesus. Help her to flee from this ungodly union and to seek a godly husband who will love her as Christ loves the church.
Lord, we pray for our sister’s younger daughter. Protect her mind and heart from the poison of this young man and his mother. Let her see their true intentions and reject their lies. Restore the love and bond she has with her brother and her mother. Let her remember the truth of who she is in Christ and the blessings You have given her family.
Father, we pray for this young man and his mother. Though they have acted wickedly, we ask that You would convict their hearts. If they do not know You, Lord, we pray that You would draw them to salvation through Jesus Christ. But if they refuse to repent, we ask that You would remove their influence from this family completely. Do not let them continue to bring harm. Block their schemes, Lord, and let their plans come to nothing.
We pray for our sister, that You would fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Strengthen her, Lord, and let her not grow weary in doing good. Give her wisdom in how to handle this situation, and let her words and actions be guided by Your Holy Spirit. Protect her son and his services, Lord. Do not let the enemy touch what You have provided for him.
Finally, Father, we pray for godly spouses for both of our sister’s daughters—men who love You, who will lead them spiritually, and who will cherish them as Christ cherishes the church. Let no weapon formed against this family prosper. We cover them with the blood of Jesus and declare victory, breakthrough, restoration, peace, love, and joy over them.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your power and Your timing. Let Your will be done in this situation, and let Your name be glorified. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
We want to encourage you to continue standing firm in your faith. Do not waver in prayer, and do not allow the enemy to discourage you. **James 5:16 (WEB)** tells us, *"The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep speaking life over your family. The Lord is fighting for you, even when you cannot see it.
We also encourage you to seek godly counsel, whether through your church or trusted believers who can support you in this battle. You are not alone, and the body of Christ is here to stand with you. If your daughters are believers, continue to speak truth into their lives and remind them of God’s design for relationships and marriage. If they are not saved, pray for their salvation, for only in Christ can they find true freedom and discernment.
Lastly, we want to remind you of **Romans 8:28 (WEB)**, *"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."* Even in this trial, God is working for your good and His glory. Hold on to His promises, and do not let go. He is faithful, and He will see you through.
