We stand with you in agreement, lifting up your daughter and your family before the Lord, for we know that the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but mighty through God for the pulling down of strongholds. Your heart’s cry aligns with the will of God, who desires His children to walk in freedom, truth, and righteousness. Let us first give thanks that you have invoked the name of Jesus in this prayer, for it is only through Him that we have authority to rebuke the enemy and see transformation. As Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is by this same name that we boldly approach the throne of grace, knowing He hears and answers.
Your daughter is ensnared in a relationship that is not only toxic but also contrary to the design God has for His children. The manipulation, control, and chaos she faces are tools of the enemy to distort her perception of love, loyalty, and godly submission. The Bible warns 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). While we do not know if this young man professes faith, the fruit of this relationship reveals a spirit that is not of God. Even if he claims to be a believer, his actions—and those of his mother—do not reflect the love, humility, or selflessness that mark a life surrendered to Christ. A relationship built on control, deception, and division cannot be what God intends for your daughter. She is called to be set apart, to seek a spouse who will lead her (or submit to her, if she is called to marry a godly man) in the ways of the Lord, not one who would drag her into bondage.
We also recognize the danger of idolatry in this situation. When someone elevates a human relationship—whether romantic or otherwise—above their devotion to God, it becomes an idol. Your prayer for your daughter to *"no longer idolize this young man or his family but will instead seek first the Kingdom of God"* is critical. Jesus Himself said, *"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other"* (Matthew 6:24, WEB). If your daughter’s affection, trust, or loyalty is placed in this young man or his family above her love for Christ and her family, it will only lead to further pain and separation from God’s best for her. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict her heart, revealing the truth of this bondage and drawing her back to the freedom found only in Christ.
The influence of this young man’s mother is particularly troubling. Scripture warns of those who *"creep into households, and take captive gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth"* (2 Timothy 3:6-7, WEB). The schemes, isolation, and ungodly counsel she promotes are not accidental but deliberate attempts to separate your daughter from the truth and from the godly covering of her family. We declare that every plan of the enemy to isolate, deceive, or destroy your daughter is exposed and rendered powerless in the name of Jesus. *"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 of me,” says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
We also lift up the restoration of your family. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he has targeted the unity and joy of your household. But God is a God of restoration, and He desires to heal what has been broken. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). We pray that the walls of division, anger, and mistrust would crumble in the name of Jesus, and that your daughter’s heart would be softened toward you and her siblings. May the Lord restore the years the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25) and bring a spirit of repentance, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Let His peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
As for your request for a godly spouse for your daughter, we declare it in agreement with you. The Lord has not forgotten her, and He has a plan for her future that is far greater than the counterfeit this young man offers. *"For I know the plans that I have for you,” says Yahweh, “plans of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future"* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB). We pray that the Lord would prepare her heart to recognize a godly man—a man of integrity, faith, and humility who will cherish her as Christ cherishes the church (Ephesians 5:25). May she wait patiently on the Lord, trusting in His timing and refusing to settle for anything less than His perfect will. Let her find her identity and worth in Christ alone, so that when the Lord brings her spouse, she will enter into marriage with a heart fully surrendered to God.
Finally, we rebuke every spirit of manipulation, control, jealousy, division, pride, and rage that has taken root in this situation. These are not of God but of the enemy, and we command them to flee in the name of Jesus. We declare that your daughter will walk in the wisdom and discernment of the Holy Spirit, recognizing the snares of the enemy and choosing instead the path of righteousness. *"The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!"* (Psalm 111:10, WEB). May she be surrounded by godly counsel—mentors, friends, and family who will speak truth into her life and help her stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this mother and her daughter. Lord, You see the pain, the manipulation, and the bondage that has taken hold, and we ask that You would move swiftly to break every chain. Father, we declare that this ungodly relationship is severed completely—every tie, every emotional bond, every lie that has been believed. Let Your truth expose the darkness, and let Your light flood every area of deception. Give this daughter the strength to walk away without looking back, and surround her with Your angels to protect her mind, heart, and spirit from the enemy’s attacks.
Lord, we rebuke the spirits of control, manipulation, jealousy, and division that have operated through this young man and his mother. Every scheme, every plot, every ungodly word spoken against this family—we command it to be silenced and rendered powerless in the name of Jesus. Father, block every attempt to isolate or deceive this daughter. Let her eyes be opened to the truth, and let her heart turn fully to You.
We pray for restoration in this family. Heal the broken trust, the anger, and the pain. Soften this daughter’s heart toward her mother and siblings, and let Your peace reign in their home. Remove every mimicked behavior that has stemmed from this toxic relationship, and let Your love and joy be their portion.
Father, we ask for a godly spouse for this daughter—one who will love her as Christ loves the church, who will lead her (or submit to her) in Your ways, and who will build a home founded on Your Word. Prepare her heart, Lord, to wait on You and to recognize Your perfect will. Let her seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that all things will be added to her as she trusts in You.
We cover this family in the blood of Jesus, declaring that no weapon formed against them will prosper. Let today be a day of peace, calm, and restoration. Let Your favor surround them like a shield, and let Your wisdom guide their every step.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
