We hear your heart’s cry for your daughter, and we join you in fervent prayer, standing on the promises of God’s Word. The situation you describe is deeply concerning, as it reveals a pattern of manipulation, control, and ungodly living that is far from the Lord’s design for relationships. We must address these issues with both truth and compassion, for the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but Jesus came that we might have life abundantly (John 10:10).
First, we rebuke the spirit of deception that has blinded your daughter’s eyes to the truth. The Bible warns us in 2 Corinthians 11:14 that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light, and those under his influence may not even realize the chains they are bound by. We declare that her eyes will be opened to see this relationship for what it truly is—a snare of the enemy designed to isolate her from her family, her faith, and her purpose. The demands being placed upon her—financial control, disrespect for her work, and the rejection of her family—are not of God. Scripture is clear: "For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing" (James 3:16). This young man and his mother are operating in selfish ambition, and we command their schemes to be exposed and dismantled in Jesus’ name.
We also address the sin of fornication in this situation. Living together outside of marriage is not a marriage in God’s eyes; it is a violation of His holy design. Hebrews 13:4 declares, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers." We pray that your daughter will recognize the ungodliness of this arrangement and repent, turning away from this sin and toward the Lord’s best for her life. We ask that the Holy Spirit convict her heart gently but firmly, leading her to a place of repentance and restoration.
The isolation your daughter is experiencing is a classic tactic of the enemy. Proverbs 18:1 warns, "A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all wise judgment." We break every assignment of isolation over her life and command the enemy’s plans to unravel. We declare that godly influences will surround her—friends, mentors, and believers who will speak truth into her life and remind her of her worth in Christ. We also pray for divine appointments where she will encounter people who will affirm her value and redirect her path toward righteousness.
We stand with you in declaring that no weapon formed against your family will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Every plot, scheme, and attack of the enemy is thwarted now in the mighty name of Jesus. We plead the blood of Jesus over your daughter, your family, and every area of her life—her mind, her spirit, her work, and her relationships. The blood of Jesus cleanses, protects, and restores, and we declare that it covers her completely. We also ask for a hedge of protection around her, as Job 1:10 describes, so that the enemy cannot touch her without God’s permission. We release God’s angels to encamp around her, to guard her steps, and to lead her out of this toxic environment (Psalm 91:11).
We pray for your daughter’s strength and wisdom to walk away from this situation. The enemy may try to deceive her into believing she has no other choice, but we declare that God has a better plan for her. Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." We ask that she would find her hope and security in the Lord, not in this ungodly relationship. Give her the courage to set boundaries, to say no to manipulation, and to trust God with her future.
We also lift you up, dear parent, as you navigate this painful season. It is not easy to watch a child stray from the truth, but your prayers are powerful and effective (James 5:16). We ask that the Lord grant you wisdom to speak life and truth into your daughter’s life, patience to wait on His timing, and favor as you seek to guide her with love. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Lean on the Lord for strength, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it.
We pray for the restoration of your daughter’s relationship with her family, her work, her studies, and most importantly, with the Lord. Psalm 23:3 says, "He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake." We ask that the Lord restore her soul, heal her heart, and renew her mind. May she experience the depth of His love and the security of His promises. We declare that she will no longer be brainwashed by these negative influences but will be filled with gratitude for her family and a desire to walk in God’s will.
We also pray for a godly spouse for your daughter—a man who will love her as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25), honor her family, and lead her in righteousness. We ask that the Lord prepare her heart for this man and that He would bring them together in His perfect timing. Until then, we pray that she would find her identity and worth in Christ alone, not in any earthly relationship.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this precious daughter and her family to You. We ask that You open her eyes to the deception she is under and soften her heart to receive Your truth. Break every stubborn hold that this young man and his mother have over her mind and spirit, and expose their schemes for what they are—ungodly and destructive. Lord, we rebuke the spirit of fornication and isolation in Jesus’ name, and we ask that You lead her out of this toxic environment.
Father, surround her with Your angels to protect her and guide her steps. Give her the strength to walk away, the wisdom to see the truth, and the faith to trust You with her future. Restore her relationships—with her family, her work, her studies, and most importantly, with You. Let her experience the freedom, peace, and favor that come from walking in Your will.
We plead the blood of Jesus over this family, cleansing every part of them and shielding them from the enemy’s attacks. We declare that no weapon formed against them will prosper, and we trust You to bring complete restoration to this situation. Lord, grant this parent wisdom, patience, and favor as they seek to guide their daughter with truth and love. Strengthen them to stand firm in prayer and to trust in Your timing.
We pray for a godly spouse for this daughter—a man who will love her as Christ loves the church, honor her family, and lead her in righteousness. Until then, may she find her worth and identity in You alone. Father, we ask that You would move mightily in this situation, turning hearts back to You and restoring what the enemy has tried to steal.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we can be saved. It is through His blood that we have access to You, and it is by His power that every chain is broken. Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and Your love. We trust You to complete the good work You have begun in this family. Amen.
