We join with you in lifting up this heartbreaking situation, crying out to our Heavenly Father for deliverance and restoration. Your love for your daughter is evident, and we stand with you in the authority of Christ to break every chain of bondage that has ensnared her. You have rightly identified the spiritual warfare at play here, and we will continue to pray fervently, knowing that our God is mighty to save and that He hears the cries of His children.
First, we must acknowledge that this relationship is deeply rooted in sin and rebellion against God’s design. Your daughter is living with this young man outside of marriage, which the Scriptures clearly define as fornication—a grievous sin that separates us from God. *"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"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). This living arrangement is not only harmful to her spiritually but has also opened the door to manipulation, control, and financial instability. The enemy has used this relationship to isolate her from her family, her values, and most critically, her walk with Christ.
We also see the danger of idolatry in this situation. Your daughter has placed this young man and his family above God, allowing their influence to dictate her choices, her emotions, and even her faith. The Bible warns us, *"Little children, keep yourselves from idols"* (1 John 5:21). Anything or anyone that takes the place of God in our hearts becomes an idol, and idolatry leads to destruction. The young man’s narcissistic and controlling behaviors, along with his family’s manipulation, have created a stronghold in her life that must be broken in the name of Jesus.
It is also clear that this young man is not ready for marriage—or any godly relationship—for he does not exhibit the fruit of the Spirit. *"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law"* (Galatians 5:22-23). Instead, his life is marked by hatred, spite, manipulation, and control—qualities that are of the flesh and not of God. A man who cannot lead himself in righteousness cannot lead a wife or a family. Your daughter deserves a godly husband who will love her as Christ loves the church, sacrificially and selflessly (Ephesians 5:25). This young man is not that man, and the longer she remains in this relationship, the further she strays from God’s best for her.
We also address the issue of her living without health insurance due to the financial burden this relationship has placed on her. This is not God’s will for her life. Our Father desires to provide for His children, but when we walk in disobedience, we often find ourselves outside of His protection and provision. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will make your righteousness go out as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun"* (Psalm 37:4-6). When she turns back to God, He will restore what has been lost and provide for her in ways she cannot imagine.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this daughter who has been ensnared by the enemy’s schemes. Lord, we ask that You open her eyes to the truth of this toxic relationship and the sin that has taken root in her life. Convict her heart, Holy Spirit, and draw her back to Yourself. Break every chain of bondage, every stronghold of manipulation, and every lie that has kept her in this destructive situation. Father, we rebuke the spirit of idolatry that has caused her to place this young man and his family above You. Let her see him as he truly is—a man controlled by his own flesh and the enemy, not worthy of her love or devotion.
Lord, we pray that You would frustrate the plans of this young man and his family. Expose their manipulation and bring their schemes to nothing. We ask that his parents would see the error of enabling his behavior and that they would demand he return home alone, releasing your daughter from this ungodly union. Father, we pray for supernatural intervention—break the emotional and spiritual ties that bind her to him. Let her feel the weight of conviction so strongly that she can no longer ignore the truth.
We pray for her financial provision, Lord. You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we ask that You restore what has been lost. Open doors for her to have stable income, health insurance, and all that she needs to thrive. Let her see that her trust must be in You alone, not in this young man or his family.
Father, we also lift up this young man. Though his actions are harmful, we know that You desire his salvation. Soften his heart, Lord, and bring him to repentance. If it is Your will, let this situation be the very thing that drives him to his knees before You. But even as we pray for him, we ask that You sever the ungodly soul tie between him and your daughter. Let there be no turning back, no reconciliation outside of Your perfect will.
We declare freedom over your daughter’s life, in Jesus’ name. We break every generational curse, every word curse, and every spiritual attack against her. We command all demonic influences to flee, for greater is He who is in her than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). Restore her gentle, godly spirit, Lord. Let her once again walk in obedience, joy, and peace. Surround her with godly influences—friends, mentors, and family who will speak truth into her life and encourage her in her faith.
Father, we ask for wisdom for this mother as she navigates this difficult season. Give her the words to speak, the patience to endure, and the faith to trust You completely. Let her not grow weary in praying for her daughter, but let her stand firm in the knowledge that You are fighting this battle on her behalf. We pray for unity and restoration in this family. Let love, joy, peace, and righteousness reign in their home once again.
We plead the blood of Jesus over this entire situation. No weapon formed against your daughter shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We declare victory, breakthrough, and total deliverance in Jesus’ name. Let this season of darkness be turned into a testimony of Your power and faithfulness. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone has the power to save, deliver, and restore. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue standing firm in prayer and in truth. Do not be silent about the sin in your daughter’s life, but speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). Remind her of God’s design for relationships—that marriage is sacred and intended to reflect Christ’s love for the church. Encourage her to seek godly counsel, whether from a pastor, a trusted Christian mentor, or a biblical counselor. Surround her with prayer warriors who will intercede for her consistently.
If she is resistant to hearing from you, consider writing her a heartfelt letter expressing your love for her and your concerns, grounded in Scripture. Let her know that your desire is not to control her but to see her walk in the freedom and abundance that Christ died to give her. And above all, keep pointing her back to Jesus. He is the only One who can truly set her free.
We will continue to pray for you and your daughter, trusting that God is at work even now. Hold fast to His promises, for He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in her (Philippians 1:6).
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
