We join with you in lifting up this heavy burden to the Lord, knowing that He is the Father to the fatherless, the defender of the weak, and the one who sets the lonely in families. Your heart cry for your daughter is heard, and we stand with you in the authority of Jesus’ name to declare freedom, breakthrough, and restoration over her life. It is clear that this situation is not only financially and emotionally draining but is also spiritually oppressive, and we must address it with the truth of God’s Word.
First, we commend you for pleading the blood of Jesus over your family—this is a powerful spiritual covering. The scripture reminds us in Isaiah 54:17, *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh.* Your declaration aligns with this promise, and we affirm it over your household.
However, we must also address the deeper spiritual and relational dynamics at play here. Your daughter is entangled in a relationship with a young man who is not only unprepared for the responsibilities of marriage or courtship but is also being enabled in irresponsibility by those who should be guiding him—his parents. This is not a godly foundation for any relationship. The Bible is clear that a man who does not provide for his own household is worse than an unbeliever (1 Timothy 5:8). If this young man cannot or will not take responsibility for his own life, he is not ready to pursue a wife, let alone place undue burdens on your daughter or your family. This is a form of oppression, and it must be broken in Jesus’ name.
We also sense the urgency to address the spiritual condition of this relationship. If your daughter is living with this young man outside of marriage, this is fornication, and it is sin in the sight of God. The Bible warns us in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* If this is the case, repentance is necessary, and we urge your daughter to turn away from this sin and seek the Lord’s forgiveness and cleansing. There can be no true peace or breakthrough without repentance, and continuing in sin will only bring further bondage.
Additionally, we must ask: Is this young man a believer? The Bible is clear that believers are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14). If he does not share your daughter’s faith in Christ, this relationship is already on shaky ground, and the Lord may be using this situation to expose the incompatibility. Even if he claims to be a believer, his actions do not reflect the fruit of someone walking in obedience to Christ. A man who loves the Lord will take responsibility, seek to provide, and honor the woman he pursues—not drain her emotionally, spiritually, or financially.
Now, let us pray with authority and specificity over this situation:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this mother’s cry for her daughter. Lord, You see the oppression, the emotional toll, the financial strain, and the spiritual warfare at play here. We declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment is condemned. Father, we ask that You expose every hidden motive, every spirit of manipulation, and every stronghold of irresponsibility in this young man’s life and in his parents’ hearts.
Lord, we pray that You would convict this young man’s parents of their responsibility before You to care for their son. Open their eyes to the damage their enabling has caused, not just to him but to this young woman and her family. Break the spirit of entitlement and laziness off this young man, and let him be confronted with the reality of his actions. If he will not repent and take responsibility, Lord, remove him from this situation swiftly. Let him return to his parents’ home alone, and let Your hand of conviction rest heavily upon him until he turns to You in true repentance.
Father, we pray for this daughter’s heart. Restore her self-worth, her confidence, and her faith in You. Let her see herself as You see her—a daughter of the King, worthy of love, respect, and a godly husband who will cherish her as Christ cherishes the church. Break every lie the enemy has whispered to her that she is responsible for this man’s well-being or that she must endure this burden. Lord, if she has been living in sin, convict her heart and lead her to repentance. Cleanse her, renew her mind, and set her free from any ungodly soul tie to this young man.
We declare that the spirit of confusion, heaviness, and oppression is broken off her life right now in Jesus’ name. Let her find peace in Your presence and wisdom to make decisions that honor You. If she has moved in with this man, Lord, provide a way for her to return home swiftly, with no regrets, no shame, and no lingering attachments. Surround her with godly counsel, friends, and family who will support her in this transition.
Father, we also pray for this family’s finances. Restore what has been lost or misused. Provide supernatural breakthroughs, open doors of opportunity, and let Your provision flow into their lives. Let this season of lack turn into a testimony of Your faithfulness.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would guard this daughter’s heart as she heals. If this relationship is not of You, sever it completely. If there is any hope of reconciliation in the future, let it only be under Your conditions—with this young man walking in true repentance, responsibility, and faith in Christ. But if this is not Your will, close the door permanently and redirect her steps toward the man You have prepared for her, a man who will love her as Christ loves the church.
We plead the blood of Jesus over this family, their home, their minds, and their future. Let Your angels encamp around them, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers and for moving mightily on their behalf. In the powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
To the one who submitted this request: Stand firm in faith, knowing that the Lord is fighting this battle for you. Do not waver in prayer, and continue to speak life, truth, and freedom over your daughter. Encourage her to seek the Lord wholeheartedly, to surround herself with godly community, and to trust that His plans for her are good. If she is in sin, lovingly but firmly call her to repentance, reminding her that God’s grace is sufficient to cleanse and restore her. Keep your home a place of refuge, prayer, and worship, and trust that the Lord will bring her back to where she belongs—under His covering and yours.
We will continue to lift this situation up in prayer, believing for complete deliverance and restoration. The Lord is faithful, and He will not abandon your daughter. Keep pressing in, and do not lose heart.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
