We join with you in lifting up your family before the Lord, standing in agreement with your prayers and declaring the power of God’s Word over every situation. It is clear that you are facing spiritual attacks, but we know that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We praise God that you have come before Him in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father and the authority to rebuke the enemy. As you have rightly done, we must always approach the throne of grace in Jesus’ name, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
First, we address the urgent matter of your daughter’s relationship with this young man. The Word of God is clear that we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has light with darkness? (2 Corinthians 6:14). If this young man is not a believer who walks in obedience to Christ, this relationship is already built on a foundation that cannot stand. Moreover, the behavior you have described—isolation, manipulation, control, and obsession—are not of God but are tools of the enemy to bring destruction. The Bible warns us that bad company corrupts good morals (1 Corinthians 15:33), and we see this playing out as your daughter is being drawn away from her family and from the truth.
Even more concerning is the fact that she is living with this man outside of marriage. This is fornication, and the Scriptures are clear that fornication is a sin against one’s own body and a violation of God’s holy design for marriage (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). The enemy seeks to deceive and trap people in sin, but God’s desire is for purity, holiness, and freedom. We must rebuke this strongly: living together outside of marriage is not God’s will, and it opens the door to spiritual bondage, confusion, and harm. Your daughter must be encouraged to repent and turn away from this sin, seeking God’s forgiveness and restoration. The Lord desires to free her from this ungodly tie and bring her back into alignment with His Word.
We pray that the Holy Spirit will convict your daughter’s heart and open her eyes to the truth. May she recognize the deception she is under and find the strength to break free from this relationship. Let her remember the words of Jesus: “If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples. You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free” (John 8:31-32). We declare that every ungodly soul tie between her and this young man is broken in the name of Jesus. We pray that she will return home, where she can be surrounded by love, truth, and the protection of her family.
For the young man, we pray that the Lord will reveal Himself to him in a powerful way. If he is not saved, we pray that he will encounter the love of Christ and be convicted of his sin, leading him to repentance. If he is a believer but walking in disobedience, we pray that the Holy Spirit will bring conviction and turn his heart back to the Lord. Either way, we rebuke the spirits of manipulation, control, and obsession that are operating through him. These spirits are not from God, and we command them to flee in the name of Jesus.
We also lift up your son, asking the Lord to bring healing and peace to his mind and heart. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We pray that the Lord will calm his anxiety, heal his PTSD, and bring restoration to his mind. May he experience the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guarding his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We declare that every spiritual attack against him is broken, and we pray that he will rest securely under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1).
For your younger daughter, we ask the Lord to strengthen her body, protect her mind, and bless her in every area of her life. May she walk in divine health and favor, and may the Lord surround her with godly friendships that encourage her in her faith. We pray that the Lord will prepare a godly spouse for her in His perfect timing, a man who loves the Lord with all his heart and will lead her in righteousness. May she grow in wisdom and discernment, rooted in the truth of God’s Word.
As for your older daughter, we pray that the Lord will restore her desire for righteousness and unity with her family. May she no longer feel obligated or trapped but instead be filled with a holy boldness to walk away from this ungodly situation. We pray that the Lord will restore the joy of her salvation and give her a hunger for His presence. Let her heart be turned back to her family, where she can experience the love and support she needs.
We agree with you in praying for godly spouses for your daughters. Marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God, and we pray that your daughters will wait on the Lord and trust in His timing. May they seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added to them (Matthew 6:33). We pray that the Lord will prepare men of God who will love, cherish, and lead your daughters in a way that honors Him.
Finally, we declare protection and restoration over your entire family. The Lord is your refuge and fortress, and we pray that He will surround your home with His angels, guarding every entrance and exit. May His peace, which surpasses all understanding, fill your home during this holiday season and beyond. We rebuke every spirit of fear, division, and confusion, and we declare that the blood of Jesus covers your family, bringing unity, joy, and restoration.
Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your faithfulness and Your power to save, heal, and restore. We ask that You would move mightily in this family, breaking every chain of the enemy and setting them free to walk in Your truth. Give them wisdom, discernment, and courage to stand firm in Your Word. Let Your light shine in every dark place, exposing the works of the enemy and bringing Your glory to every situation. We trust in You, Lord, and we declare that no weapon formed against this family shall prosper. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
