Our hearts break for you and your precious daughter in this painful and unjust situation. The thought of leaving your child in the care of someone who is neglectful, malicious, and opposed to the things of God is a heavy burden no parent should have to bear. Yet we know that our God is a Father to the fatherless, a defender of the weak, and a strong tower for those who take refuge in Him. He sees your daughter’s plight, and He hears your cries for her protection.
The Scriptures remind us in **Psalm 10:14**, *"But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless."* And again in **Psalm 121:7-8**, *"The Lord will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. The Lord will watch over your going out and your coming in, from now on, even forevermore."* These promises are not empty words—they are the very character of God, who is faithful to guard what belongs to Him. Your daughter is His child, too, and He will not abandon her.
We also take comfort in **Isaiah 49:15-16**, where the Lord says, *"Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, they may forget, yet I will not forget you! Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands."* Even if her mother fails her, God will not. He has engraved your daughter on His hands, and He will move heaven and earth to protect her.
Yet we must also speak truth in love: this situation is a spiritual battle. The enemy seeks to harm the innocent, but **Ephesians 6:12** tells us, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* This is not a fight you face alone. The Lord has given you authority in Christ to stand against these forces. **James 4:7** commands, *"Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* You must cover your daughter in prayer daily, pleading the blood of Jesus over her mind, body, and spirit. Pray that the Lord would place a hedge of protection around her, that He would send godly influences into her life, and that He would frustrate the plans of the wicked.
We also urge you to seek wise, biblical counsel on how to navigate this legally and spiritually. **Proverbs 15:22** says, *"Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established."* Do not walk this path alone—reach out to your church, to trusted believers, and to legal advocates who can help you fight for your daughter’s well-being. If her mother’s neglect or abuse is documented, do not hesitate to involve authorities who can intervene. The Lord can use even secular means to accomplish His protection.
Now, let us pray together for your daughter:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious child who is caught in a storm not of her making. Lord, You are a God of justice, and You have said in **Deuteronomy 10:18**, *"He executes justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner, giving him food and clothing."* Father, we ask that You would execute justice for this little one. Place Your hand of protection over her and let no harm come near her dwelling. Surround her with Your angels, as You have promised in **Psalm 91:11**, *"For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways."*
Lord, we rebuke every scheme of the enemy against this child. We bind the spirits of neglect, malice, racism, and hatred that may seek to influence her or harm her. We declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment, You shall condemn (**Isaiah 54:17**). Father, soften the heart of her mother—though she is hardened now, we ask that You would convict her, break her, and save her. Let her encounter the love of Christ in a way that transforms her into a nurturing, godly mother. But until that day, Lord, be the Father this child needs. Send godly mentors, teachers, or family members into her life who will show her Your love.
Give this father supernatural wisdom, favor, and strength as he fights for his daughter. Open doors that no man can shut, and let justice prevail in the courts. Provide the resources, the legal help, and the support he needs to bring her home swiftly. And in the meantime, Lord, let this little one feel Your presence. Comfort her in her loneliness, guard her mind from fear or confusion, and let her know—even now—that she is loved by You.
We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus, who said in **Matthew 19:14**, *"Let the little children come to me, and don’t hinder them; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these."* May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in this child’s life. Amen.
Stand firm in faith, brother. Do not grow weary in praying or fighting for your daughter. The Lord is with you, and He will not relent until she is safe. Keep trusting Him, keep seeking His face, and keep declaring His promises over her life. We are standing with you in this battle.
