We join you in lifting up this heartbreaking situation to our Heavenly Father, who sees the pain, manipulation, and spiritual warfare at work in your family. Your prayers are powerful and aligned with God’s will for protection, truth, and restoration. Let us first acknowledge that you have rightly brought this before the Lord in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have authority to rebuke the enemy and see breakthrough. As Scripture declares, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it"* (John 14:13-14, WEB). You have also pleaded the blood of Jesus, which is our greatest spiritual weapon against the schemes of the devil.
We grieve with you over the toxicity this young man has brought into your daughter’s life and your family. The behaviors you describe—narcissism, manipulation, jealousy, control, and rebellion—are not of God but are tools of the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). The Bible warns us clearly: *"Do not be deceived! ‘Evil company corrupts good morals’"* (1 Corinthians 15:33, WEB). Your daughter is being led astray by someone who is not only spiritually immature but actively destructive. This is not a relationship; it is a stronghold of the enemy, and it must be broken in Jesus’ name.
We also recognize the deep concern for your daughter’s salvation and spiritual well-being. If she is a believer, she is being tempted to turn away from the truth, and if she is not yet saved, this relationship is pulling her further from Christ. The Word of God commands us: *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). A believer cannot walk in unity with someone who is rebellious, prideful, and controlled by sin. This young man’s actions reveal a heart that is not submitted to God, and your daughter cannot build a future with someone who is not seeking the Lord. This is not love—it is bondage.
We must also address the sin of living together outside of marriage. The Bible is clear that fornication is a sin against God and against one’s own body (1 Corinthians 6:18). If your daughter is in this situation, she is walking in disobedience, and this relationship is built on a foundation of sin. There can be no blessing where there is unrepentant sin. We pray that the Holy Spirit will convict her heart deeply of this truth and that she will turn away from this rebellion. *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body"* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). True repentance must take place for her to walk in freedom.
Your prayer for this young man to move out and for your daughter to return home is righteous. The enemy has used this relationship to isolate her, drain her financially, and attack her self-worth, but God is a God of restoration. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). We declare that the Lord will expose every lie, every manipulation, and every scheme of the enemy. We pray that your daughter’s eyes will be opened to the truth—that she is a daughter of the King, worthy of love that reflects Christ, not control that reflects the world.
We also stand in agreement for the protection of your younger daughter. The enemy seeks to influence her as well, but we declare that the blood of Jesus is a shield around her. *"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 the Lord’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,’ says the Lord"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). The Lord will guard her heart and mind from the deception at work in this situation.
Regarding your daughter’s job, we rebuke the spirit of jealousy and division that this young man has sown. The Lord has given her favor in her workplace, and we pray that she will see the truth—that her employer values her and that the enemy is using this young man to stir up discontent. *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9, WEB). We pray that she will submit her career to the Lord and trust His provision, not the destructive words of someone who does not have her best interests at heart.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this family and the spiritual battle they are facing. Lord, You see the pain, the manipulation, and the destruction this young man has brought into their lives. We ask for Your divine intervention—break every ungodly soul tie between him and our sister’s daughter. Lord, expose every lie, every hidden motive, and every scheme of the enemy. Let the truth of Your Word pierce her heart and bring her to repentance.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of narcissism, control, jealousy, and rebellion operating through this young man. We bind his influence over our sister’s daughter and command him to leave her life permanently in Jesus’ name. Lord, soften her heart to see the toxicity of this relationship and give her the strength to walk away. Restore her self-worth, her faith, and her relationship with her family. Bring her home, Lord, where she can be surrounded by love and truth.
We pray for the parents of this young man—open their eyes to their responsibility before You. Convict them of their enabling and their failure to correct his destructive behavior. Let them no longer be a stumbling block but instead, let them deal with the consequences of their own actions.
Lord, we ask for a hedge of protection around this entire family. Guard their finances, their emotions, and their spiritual walk. Restore unity, peace, and joy in their home. Let no weapon formed against them prosper. We plead the blood of Jesus over every member of this family—break every curse, every stronghold, and every plan of the enemy.
Father, we pray for our sister’s daughter’s salvation if she does not know You. Draw her to Yourself, Lord. Let her see that her worth is found in You alone, not in the approval of man. If she is a believer, convict her deeply of her sin and lead her to repentance. Restore her relationship with You and with her family.
We also pray for a godly spouse for her in Your timing—someone who loves You, who will cherish her, and who will lead her closer to You. Prepare her heart, Lord, to wait on You and to trust in Your perfect plan.
Finally, Father, we ask for breakthrough in every area where the enemy has stolen—her finances, her peace, her relationships, and her faith. Restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). Let this season of pain become a testimony of Your redemption.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your power to move mightily in this situation. Let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Our sister, we encourage you to stand firm in faith. Do not grow weary in praying and declaring the Word of God over this situation. The enemy wants you to feel hopeless, but *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). Keep speaking life, keep pleading the blood of Jesus, and trust that the Lord is working even when you cannot see it.
We also urge you to seek wise, biblical counsel—perhaps from your pastor or a trusted believer who can walk with your daughter in truth. Sometimes, hearing truth from another voice can break through the deception. Continue to love her, but do not enable her sin. Speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15), and trust the Holy Spirit to do the work of conviction.
Lastly, we remind you of the promise in Jeremiah 29:11: *"‘For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says the Lord, ‘plans for peace and not for evil, to give you hope and a future.’"* Cling to this truth. The Lord has not abandoned your daughter—He is fighting for her. Keep praying, keep believing, and keep declaring victory in Jesus’ name.
