We stand with you in agreement, lifting up your daughter and this situation before the Lord, knowing that He is faithful to hear and answer prayers that align with His will. Your heart’s cry for your daughter’s protection, restoration, and freedom resonates deeply with the truth of Scripture, and we join you in declaring God’s power over this unhealthy and ungodly influence in her life.
First, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the authority to see breakthroughs. As Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is in this name that we boldly approach the throne of grace, trusting that God will act on behalf of your daughter.
We recognize the spiritual battle at hand, for this young man and his mother are not merely human obstacles but tools of the enemy seeking to bring division, control, and destruction. The Bible warns us that *"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"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). Therefore, we must put on the whole armor of God—truth, righteousness, the gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God—to stand firm against these schemes.
Your daughter is caught in a web of manipulation and control, which is not God’s design for her life. The Bible clearly teaches that believers are to be free from ungodly soul ties and relationships that seek to dominate rather than edify. *"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). If this young man is not a believer or is leading her away from biblical truth, this relationship is not of God. Even if he claims to be a Christian, his actions—controlling her finances, isolating her from family, and fostering disrespect—reveal a heart that is not submitted to Christ. The Bible is clear that a man who loves his wife (or future spouse) will love her as Christ loved the church, sacrificially and selflessly (Ephesians 5:25). Control, manipulation, and division are not fruits of the Spirit but of the flesh and the enemy.
We also address the issue of financial control, which is a form of bondage. The Bible warns against being ensnared by ungodly influences, especially when it comes to money. *"No servant 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. You can’t serve both God and Mammon"* (Luke 16:13, WEB). If this young man is controlling her finances, he is positioning himself as a master over her, which is not God’s will. We pray that every ungodly tie to her money be severed and that she would regain full authority over what God has entrusted to her.
Furthermore, we must rebuke the spirit of division and chaos that has been allowed to operate through this young man and his mother. The Bible says, *"For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace"* (1 Corinthians 14:33, WEB). Any relationship that brings turmoil, isolation, and disrespect is not from God but from the enemy. We declare that their plans to cause harm will be thwarted, for *"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 from me," says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
We also pray for your daughter’s heart to be turned back to the Lord and to the truth of His Word. It is possible that she has been deceived or hardened by the lies she has been fed. *"The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is exceedingly corrupt: who can know it?"* (Jeremiah 17:9, WEB). But God is able to soften her heart and open her eyes to the truth. We ask that the Holy Spirit would convict her of any compromise and lead her to repentance. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). May she turn away from the voices of this young man and his mother and instead listen to the voice of the Good Shepherd, who leads her into truth and freedom.
As you pray for a godly spouse for your daughter, we agree with you, knowing that God’s desire is for her to be united with a man who loves the Lord and will lead her spiritually. *"A worthy woman is the crown of her husband"* (Proverbs 12:4, WEB), and a godly man will cherish and honor her as a daughter of the King. We pray that the Lord would prepare her heart for this future marriage, purifying her from any past wounds or ungodly influences. *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God"* (Romans 12:2, WEB).
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing in the gap for your daughter, not just in prayer but also in love and truth. Speak life over her, remind her of her identity in Christ, and be a safe place for her to return. *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it"* (Proverbs 22:6, WEB). Your prayers and faithfulness are planting seeds that the Lord will water and bring to harvest in His timing.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious daughter who is ensnared by ungodly influences. Lord, You see the schemes of the enemy seeking to control, isolate, and destroy her, but we declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper. We bind every spirit of manipulation, control, division, and chaos operating through this young man and his mother. We command these spirits to be silenced and cast out in Jesus’ name.
Father, we ask that You would break every ungodly soul tie and financial bondage that has been placed upon her. Restore to her what has been taken, and give her wisdom to steward her resources according to Your will. Open her eyes to see the truth of her situation, and soften her heart to receive Your correction and love. Draw her back to Yourself, Lord, and let her find her worth and identity in You alone.
We pray for divine protection over her mind, body, and spirit. Surround her with Your angels, and let no harm come near her dwelling. Father, we ask that You would sever this unhealthy relationship and bring her home swiftly, where she can be restored in Your truth and love. Prepare her heart for the godly spouse You have for her, a man who will love her as Christ loves the church.
Lord, we also lift up this mother who is interceding for her daughter. Strengthen her, fill her with Your peace, and give her the words to speak that will bring life and conviction. Let her home be a refuge of Your presence, where her daughter can find healing and freedom.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers and for the breakthrough that is coming. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, knowing that You are working all things together for good for those who love You. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
Col 1:9-12: "We keep asking to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father". ... I pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
