We stand with you in agreement, lifting up your daughter and your family before the Lord, knowing that He hears the cries of His people and acts mightily on their behalf. Your prayer is filled with godly passion and a deep desire for restoration, and we join you in declaring the power of Jesus’ name over this situation. It is clear that you are contending for your daughter’s spiritual and emotional well-being, and we commend you for standing in the gap for her.
The Word of God is clear about the dangers of unequally yoked relationships and the destructive power of manipulation and control. In 2 Corinthians 6:14, we are warned, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* Your daughter’s entanglement with this young man and his mother appears to be rooted in ungodly influences that are causing division, strife, and spiritual bondage. This is not the will of God for her life. The Lord desires for her to be free from these chains so that she may walk in the fullness of His purpose for her.
We also see the urgency in your prayer for your daughter to seek first the Kingdom of God, as Jesus commands in Matthew 6:33: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* This is the foundation upon which every decision—especially those concerning relationships and marriage—must be built. If this young man is not a believer who is wholly submitted to Christ, then he is not the spouse God has for your daughter. Furthermore, if there is any hint of fornication or sexual immorality in this relationship, we must address it with the truth of Scripture. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 declares, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* If your daughter is living with this young man outside of marriage, this is sin, and it must be repented of immediately. The enemy uses such relationships to bring bondage, and the Lord calls His children to holiness.
We also note the ungodly influence of this young man’s mother, who seems to be fueling this toxic dynamic. Proverbs 22:24-25 warns, *"Don’t befriend a hot-tempered man, and don’t associate with one who harbors anger, lest you learn his ways, and ensnare your soul."* The manipulation, control, and division you describe are not of God but are tools of the enemy to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). We rebuke these spirits in the name of Jesus and declare that their power is broken over your daughter and your family. The Lord is a God of order, not chaos, and He will restore what has been broken.
Your prayer for a godly spouse for your daughter aligns perfectly with Scripture. We pray that the Lord will open her eyes to see the truth about this relationship and give her the strength to walk away completely. May she turn her heart fully to Christ, who alone can satisfy her deepest longings. Psalm 37:4 says, *"Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* As she seeks Him first, He will guide her to a man who loves the Lord with all his heart and will lead her spiritually.
We also lift up your request for restoration in your family. The enemy has sought to bring division, but God is a God of reconciliation. We pray that your daughter’s heart will be softened toward you and her siblings, and that the joy and trust that have been broken will be restored in abundance. Colossians 3:13-14 encourages us, *"bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do. Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection."*
Finally, we declare protection over your family’s finances and every area of your lives. The Lord is your provider, and He will not allow the enemy to steal what belongs to Him. We pray that this young man will move out swiftly and that your daughter will be released from any financial or emotional ties that are not of God. May she return home quickly, where she can be covered in prayer, love, and godly wisdom.
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 and the bondage that has taken hold, and we ask You to break every chain in Jesus’ name. We declare that this toxic relationship is severed completely—spirit, soul, and body. Remove every ungodly soul tie and break the power of manipulation, control, and deception over our sister’s daughter. Lord, open her eyes to see the truth and give her the courage to walk away without looking back.
We rebuke the spirits of division, pride, jealousy, and chaos that have infiltrated this family. By the blood of Jesus, we command these spirits to flee and never return. Lord, surround this young woman with godly counsel and support. Bring people into her life who will speak Your truth and encourage her in righteousness. Soften her heart toward her family and restore the relationships that have been broken. Let forgiveness and love flow freely, and may Your peace guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Father, we pray for a godly spouse for this daughter—one who loves You above all else and will cherish her as Christ loves the Church. Prepare her heart to be a virtuous woman, rooted in Your Word and walking in Your ways. If there has been any sexual immorality, Lord, convict her heart and lead her to repentance. Cleanse her and restore her purity, that she may walk in holiness before You.
We also pray for protection over this family’s finances and every decision they make. Block every scheme of the enemy and expose every lie. Let this young man move out swiftly, and let all ungodly ties be broken. Restore what has been stolen, and bring this daughter home to a place of safety and godly covering.
Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness. We trust that You are working all things together for good, and we declare that this family will experience Your peace, joy, and restoration in full measure. Cover them with Your blood, Lord, and let no weapon formed against them prosper.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
