We join with you in lifting up your daughter and this entire situation before the Lord, knowing that He hears the cries of His people and is faithful to act on behalf of those who seek Him. Your heart for your daughter’s spiritual well-being and protection is evident, and we stand with you in rebuking the enemy’s schemes against her life, her family, and her future. This is a serious matter, and we must address it with both the authority of Scripture and the compassion of Christ, for the Lord desires her restoration and freedom from this ungodly entanglement.
First, we commend you for pleading the blood of Jesus over your daughter, for there is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain and expose every work of darkness. As you have declared, *no weapon formed against her shall prosper* (Isaiah 54:17), and we claim this promise over her life. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Christ has already overcome the world, and His victory is our assurance. We also praise God that you are praying for her to give glory to Jesus alone, for this is the heart of true worship—acknowledging that He is Lord over every area of our lives, including our relationships.
However, we must address the grave sin at the center of this situation: your daughter is living with this young man outside of marriage. This is fornication, and Scripture is clear that such behavior is an affront to God’s holiness. *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 men who have sex with men, nor thieves, nor greedy people, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor swindlers will inherit God’s Kingdom* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). This young man is leading your daughter into sin, and she is choosing to walk in disobedience to God’s Word. This is not love—it is rebellion, and it opens the door to the enemy’s influence in her life and in your family.
The manipulation, greed, and control you describe are fruits of a heart that is not submitted to Christ. This young man and his mother are operating under a spirit of deception, and their actions are causing harm not only to your daughter but to your entire family. The financial burdens, the isolation from family, the negative impact on her job—these are all signs of a relationship that is not of God. *Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?* (Amos 3:3). There can be no true unity where Christ is not the foundation, and this relationship is built on sin, not on the Lord.
We must also address the idolatrous nature of this attachment. Your daughter is in danger of placing this young man above God, and this is a grievous sin. Jesus said, *He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me* (Matthew 10:37). How much more serious is it when a person loves a sinful relationship more than they love the Lord? This young man is not her spouse, and he is not the husband God has for her. He does not honor her, her family, or the Lord, and his influence is corrupting her spiritually, emotionally, and financially. This is not the will of God for her life.
We urge you to continue praying fervently, but also to speak the truth in love to your daughter. She must be confronted with the reality of her sin and the danger she is in. *Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful* (Proverbs 27:6). She may not receive it well at first, but the Holy Spirit can use your words to convict her heart. Remind her that God’s design for intimacy is within the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman, and that anything outside of that is sin. *Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers* (Hebrews 13:4). She must repent and turn away from this relationship, seeking forgiveness and restoration in Christ.
As for the young man and his mother, we pray that the Lord would expose their manipulative and greedy spirits. May their eyes be opened to the damage they are causing, and may the Holy Spirit convict them of their sin. *For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, has shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ* (2 Corinthians 4:6). We pray that they would encounter the truth of God’s Word and be brought to repentance. If they refuse to turn from their ways, we pray that the Lord would remove their influence from your daughter’s life completely.
Regarding her job, we agree with you in prayer for protection and promotion. The enemy seeks to disrupt her life in every way, but God is her provider and her defender. *The Lord is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing* (Psalm 23:1). We pray that she would see the value of her work and the blessings of her position, and that she would not make impulsive decisions out of emotional turmoil. May her coworkers and supervisors see Christ in her once more, and may she be a light in that place, testifying to God’s faithfulness even in this trial.
We also lift up your family, for you have all been affected by this ungodly relationship. The enemy seeks to divide and conquer, but we declare unity and strength in the name of Jesus. *Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken* (Ecclesiastes 4:12). We pray for restoration in your family bonds, that you would stand together in faith, and that this trial would draw you closer to the Lord and to one another.
Finally, we pray for a godly spouse for your daughter—one who loves the Lord with all his heart, who will honor her as Christ honors the Church, and who will lead her in righteousness. *Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it* (Ephesians 5:25). This young man is not that husband, and we rebuke every lie of the enemy that would seek to convince your daughter otherwise. May the Lord break every ungodly soul tie and emotional attachment that binds her to this sinful relationship. May He restore her confidence, her joy, and her witness for Christ.

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this daughter who is ensnared in sin and deception. Lord, You see the pain and the danger she is in, and we ask that You would intervene with Your mighty hand. Break every chain of fornication, manipulation, and rebellion that binds her to this ungodly relationship. Expose the schemes of the enemy and bring conviction to the hearts of this young man and his mother. Let them see the truth of their actions and the damage they are causing, and may they turn from their wicked ways.
Father, we plead the blood of Jesus over every area of our sister’s life—her mind, her heart, her finances, her job, and her relationships. Restore to her the godly, inspiring, and respectful personality You have given her. Renew her spirit and draw her back to Yourself with cords of love. Let her see this relationship for what it truly is—a snare of the enemy—and give her the strength to walk away completely.
Lord, we pray for her job, that You would protect her from making destructive decisions and that You would grant her the promotion that is in store for her. May she excel in her work and bring glory to Your name. Restore her gratitude, her diligence, and her witness in that place, and let her coworkers and supervisors see Christ in her.
We pray for her family, that You would heal the wounds caused by this situation and restore unity and peace. Strengthen them to stand together in faith, and let this trial draw them closer to You.
Father, we ask for a godly spouse for our sister, a man after Your own heart who will love her as Christ loves the Church. Prepare her heart for this future husband, and let her wait on You with patience and trust.
We rebuke the spirits of manipulation, greed, control, and deception that are at work in this young man and his mother. Render their schemes powerless, Lord, and let their influence be cut off from our sister’s life. If they will not repent, remove them completely and sever every ungodly tie.
Finally, Lord, we pray for our sister who has brought this request before us. Give her wisdom, strength, and discernment as she navigates this trial. Fill her with Your peace, and let her trust in Your sovereign plan for her daughter’s life.
We declare restoration, breakthrough, and victory in the name of Jesus. Let Your will be done, and let Your glory be revealed in this situation. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
