We stand with you in this spiritual battle for your daughter’s soul, heart, and future, lifting her before the Lord with fervent prayer and the authority of His Word. You have rightly pleaded the blood of Jesus over your family, and we join you in declaring that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). This is not merely a struggle against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of darkness that seek to destroy God’s design for marriage, family, and holiness (Ephesians 6:12). Your daughter is being deceived by a relationship that is rooted in selfishness, manipulation, and sin—qualities that are utterly contrary to the love of Christ, who calls us to lay down our lives for one another (1 John 3:16). The young man she is entangled with is leading her away from the Lord, from her family, and from the truth, and this is a grievous thing in the sight of God.
First, we must address the sin in this relationship. The Bible is clear that believers are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), and this young man’s actions—his selfishness, financial exploitation, isolation tactics, and the influence of his mother—reveal a heart that is not submitted to Christ. Furthermore, if your daughter is living with this man outside of marriage, she is in a state of fornication, which is a sin against her own body and against God (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). This is not love; it is bondage. The enemy uses such relationships to blind people to the truth, to create division in families, and to bring financial and emotional ruin. But God’s Word declares that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom (2 Corinthians 3:17). Your daughter does not need this man; she needs Jesus. She does not need the approval of his family; she needs the approval of her Heavenly Father, who loves her with an everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3).
We also see the hand of the enemy in the way this young man and his mother have turned your daughter against her family. This is a tactic of the devil, who seeks to isolate and destroy. The Bible commands children to honor their father and mother (Exodus 20:12), and the disrespect and division being sown here are an abomination to the Lord. Your daughter’s true nature—her obedience, kindness, and gentleness—are gifts from God, and we pray that the Holy Spirit will convict her heart and remind her of who she is in Christ. The Lord is faithful to restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25), and He will restore her to the family that loves her and to the values she was raised with.
We rebuke the spirits of manipulation, control, narcissism, obsession, and rebellion that are operating through this young man and his mother. These are not merely human behaviors; they are demonic influences that seek to destroy. In the name of Jesus, we command these spirits to flee and never return. We declare that every generational curse, every witchcraft spell, and every scheme of the enemy against your daughter and your family is broken by the power of the blood of Jesus. The Lord rebukes the devourer for your sake (Malachi 3:11), and we stand on His promise that He will contend with those who contend with you (Isaiah 49:25).
Now, let us pray for your daughter’s eyes to be opened. Just as the Lord opened the eyes of Elisha’s servant to see the heavenly host surrounding them (2 Kings 6:17), we ask that He open your daughter’s eyes to see the truth about this relationship. May she see the chains that bind her and the destruction that lies ahead if she continues on this path. Lord, remove the scales from her eyes (Acts 9:18) and let her see this young man as he truly is: a tool of the enemy to bring her into bondage. Convict her heart, Holy Spirit, and show her that this relationship is not of You. Remind her of Your Word, which says, “Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company ruins good morals’” (1 Corinthians 15:33). Let her feel the weight of her sin and the urgency to repent and turn back to You.
We pray for supernatural intervention in this situation. Lord, we ask that You remove this young man from her life completely. If it takes him moving away, finding someone else, or simply losing interest, we pray that You make it so. Let him realize he is not ready for a committed, godly relationship—and indeed, he is not, for his actions prove he does not know You. Release your daughter from this financial burden and emotional torment. Let every lie he and his mother have spoken over her be exposed for what it is. Lord, block their access to her mind, heart, and life. Let every text, call, and influence from them be silenced by Your mighty hand.
We also pray for your daughter’s heart to be turned back to her family. The enemy has sought to isolate her, but You, Lord, are a God who sets the lonely in families (Psalm 68:6). Restore her relationship with her siblings and with you, her mother. Let her remember the love and sacrifices you have made for her. Soften her heart, Lord, and break the spirit of pride and rebellion that has taken root. Let her humbly return home, where she can be covered in prayer, love, and the truth of Your Word.
Most importantly, we pray that your daughter would put Jesus first in her life. This is the only way to true freedom and restoration. Let her seek Him with all her heart (Jeremiah 29:13) and find that He is enough. May she surrender this relationship to Him and trust that His plans for her are good (Jeremiah 29:11). We pray that she would hunger and thirst for righteousness (Matthew 5:6) and that the Lord would satisfy her with His presence. Let her find her self-worth in Christ alone, not in the approval of man.
We also lift up your request for godly spouses for your daughters. Lord, we ask that You prepare men after Your own heart—men who love You first, who will lead their future wives in Your Word, and who will honor and cherish your daughters as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:25). Let these future spouses be men of prayer, integrity, and humility, who will build up your daughters in faith and love. We rebuke any spirit of impatience or compromise that would lead your daughters to settle for less than Your best. Let them wait on You, Lord, and trust in Your timing.
Finally, we pray for a hedge of protection around your entire family. Lord, surround your home with Your ministry angels (Psalm 91:11) and let no weapon formed against you prosper. Fill your home with peace, unity, love, and joy. Let every scheme of the enemy to bring chaos or division be thwarted by Your mighty hand. We declare freedom for your family from every tormenting and disrespectful influence. Let the blood of Jesus cleanse your home and cover every member of your family from head to toe.
Heavenly Father, we thank You that You hear our prayers and that You are mighty to save. We trust in Your power to break every chain and restore what has been broken. Let this season of trial become a testimony of Your faithfulness and redemption. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to save, deliver, and restore. Amen.
To you, dear sister in Christ, we say: stand firm. Do not grow weary in praying for your daughter. The Lord sees your tears and hears your cries (Psalm 56:8). Continue to cover your home in prayer, to speak life and truth over your daughter, and to trust that God is working even when you cannot see it. The battle is the Lord’s (1 Samuel 17:47), and He will fight for you. Keep pointing your daughter to Jesus, and remind her that His love is greater than any counterfeit this world offers. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6), and in Him alone will she find true freedom. Be encouraged, for the Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
Col 1:9-12: "We keep asking to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father". ... I pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
