We join with you in lifting up this urgent and heartbreaking situation, crying out to our Heavenly Father for divine intervention, protection, and restoration for your daughter and your family. Your prayers are saturated with a mother’s love and a deep longing for your daughter’s freedom from this toxic bondage, and we stand with you in the authority of Jesus Christ to declare liberty over her life.
First, we commend you for recognizing the spiritual gravity of this situation and for taking a bold stand in prayer. The enemy has sought to entangle your daughter in a relationship that is not only emotionally and spiritually destructive but also in direct opposition to God’s design for marriage and relationships. The Bible warns us in 2 Corinthians 6:14, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* While we do not know the spiritual state of this young man, his actions reveal a heart that is not submitted to Christ. A relationship built on control, manipulation, jealousy, and narcissism is not of God—it is a counterfeit that seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Your daughter deserves a godly spouse who will cherish her as Christ loves the Church (Ephesians 5:25), not one who tears her down.
We also address the grave concern of this couple living together outside of marriage. This is fornication, and Scripture is clear that sexual immorality is a sin against God and one’s own body (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). It is not God’s will for His children to live in such arrangements, as it defiles the sanctity of marriage and opens the door to spiritual bondage. We pray that your daughter’s eyes will be opened to the truth of God’s Word and that she will repent of this sin, turning away from this ungodly union. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, *"Or don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom."* This is not said to condemn, but to call her—and all of us—to holiness. God’s desire is for her to walk in freedom and purity, not in bondage to sin.
We also rebuke the spirit of idolatry that has taken hold in your daughter’s heart. When we elevate a person—whether a romantic partner, a friend, or even a family member—above God, we are guilty of idolatry (Exodus 20:3). Your prayer for her to stop "mimicking this young man’s behaviors and idolizing him and his family" is critical. The Lord commands us in 1 John 5:21, *"Little children, keep yourselves from idols."* We pray that she will turn her heart fully to Jesus, the only One worthy of her worship and devotion. May she find her identity, worth, and security in Christ alone, not in the approval or affection of this young man or his family.
To your daughter, we say this in love but with urgency: This relationship is not from God. It is destroying you, and if you continue in it, it will lead to further heartache, spiritual compromise, and possibly even greater sin. The Bible warns in Proverbs 22:24-25, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger: lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* You are being ensnared, beloved, and it is time to break free. The Lord has so much more for you—a future filled with hope, a godly husband who will honor and protect you, and a life of peace and joy in Christ. But you must choose to walk away from this toxicity. Repent of the sin of living together outside of marriage, and turn to Jesus for forgiveness and restoration. He is faithful and just to cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
We also lift up the parents of this young man. It is tragic that they have enabled his destructive behavior and placed undue financial and emotional burdens on your family. We pray that their eyes will be opened to the damage their son is causing and that they will take responsibility for him, as you have requested. Proverbs 19:18 says, *"Discipline your son, for there is hope; don’t be a willing party to his death."* By allowing him to continue in his sinful and manipulative ways, they are contributing to his spiritual destruction—and yours. We ask God to convict their hearts and lead them to repentance, that they may no longer be complicit in this harm.
Finally, we stand with you in praying for your daughter’s complete restoration. The enemy has sought to steal her self-worth, her faith, her relationships, and her future, but we declare in the name of Jesus that *"the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; [but Jesus] came that [she] may have life, and may have it abundantly"* (John 10:10). We pray for the healing of her heart, mind, and spirit. May the Lord restore to her the joy of her salvation (Psalm 51:12) and surround her with godly friendships that encourage her in the faith. We pray that she will return home swiftly, Lord, where she can be loved, supported, and discipled in the ways of the Lord.
We also pray for your family’s unity and peace. The enemy has sought to divide and conquer, but we declare that *"though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken"* (Ecclesiastes 4:12). May the Lord knit your hearts together in love, patience, and mutual encouragement. May your home be a refuge of God’s presence, where His peace reigns and His truth is proclaimed.
Here is our prayer for you all:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this mother’s cry for her daughter and her family. Lord, You see the pain, the manipulation, and the destruction that this toxic relationship has wrought. We ask You to intervene supernaturally—break every ungodly soul tie, every spiritual stronghold, and every lie that has kept our sister bound. Open her eyes, Lord, to see this young man for who he truly is: a tool of the enemy to steal her destiny. Convict her heart of the sin of living together outside of marriage, and lead her to repentance and freedom.
Father, we rebuke the spirits of control, manipulation, jealousy, narcissism, and idolatry that have operated in this relationship. We bind them in the name of Jesus and command them to flee, never to return. We declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we plead the blood of Jesus over every member, breaking every curse and every assignment of the enemy.
Lord, we pray for the parents of this young man. Soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth. Convict them of their enabling behavior, and lead them to take responsibility for their son. May they no longer place burdens on this family but instead seek to make things right.
Father, we ask that You would restore our sister’s self-worth, her faith, her relationships, and her future. Surround her with godly counsel and friendships that point her to You. Bring her home swiftly, Lord, where she can be loved and nurtured in Your truth. Prepare her heart for the godly spouse You have for her—a man who will love her as Christ loves the Church, who will honor and protect her, and who will lead her closer to You.
We pray for unity and peace in this family. Heal the wounds that have been inflicted, and restore joy, love, and respect among them. Let Your presence be their strength and Your Word be their guide.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would expose every hidden thing in this situation. Bring to light what has been done in darkness, and let Your truth prevail. We trust You to work all things together for good (Romans 8:28), and we thank You in advance for the victory You are bringing.
In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen."*
We encourage you to continue standing in faith, speaking life and truth over your daughter, and covering her in prayer. Do not grow weary in doing good, for *"at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up"* (Galatians 6:9). Trust that the Lord is working, even when you cannot see it. Keep pointing your daughter to Jesus, reminding her of His love and His promises for her life. And remember, *"the battle is not yours, but God’s"* (2 Chronicles 20:15). He will fight for her. Stay strong in the Lord, and may His peace guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
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.
