We join with you in lifting this heavy burden before the Lord, and we are grateful you have brought this matter to Him in the mighty name of Jesus. Your prayer is rooted in faith, and we stand in agreement with you, knowing that our God is a God of justice, protection, and restoration. It is clear this situation has brought great strain upon your family, and we rebuke the spirit of narcissism, manipulation, and selfishness that has taken root in this individual’s heart. The Word of God tells us in Proverbs 22:6, *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."* Yet we also know that each person is responsible before God for their own choices, and sometimes, parents enable behavior that is not pleasing to the Lord by failing to hold their children accountable. It is not your responsibility to carry the weight of this man’s actions or his parents’ decisions. The Lord calls us to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2), but He does not call us to enable sin or remain in harmful situations without boundary or wisdom.
The Scriptures warn us in 2 Thessalonians 3:10, *"For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 'If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.'"* This principle extends beyond mere provision—it speaks to personal responsibility, maturity, and the consequences of refusing to grow up. If this man is not ready for the responsibilities of adulthood, including the sacred commitment of marriage, then it is not wise for him to remain in a household where he is causing division. We pray that his parents’ eyes would be opened to the damage their enabling has caused and that they would take swift action to correct this, not out of harshness, but out of love and godly discipline. Proverbs 13:24 reminds us, *"One who spares the rod hates his son, but one who loves him disciplines him promptly."*
We also address the mention of your ### in this request. If this man is someone you have been in a romantic relationship with, we must lovingly but firmly remind you that if he is not a believer or is living in unrepentant sin, the Word of God is clear: *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with unrighteousness? What communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). If he is a believer but is walking in the flesh, then the relationship cannot move forward until there is true repentance and fruit of the Spirit evident in his life (Galatians 5:22-23). A godly marriage is built on selflessness, sacrifice, and submission to Christ—not on narcissism, immaturity, or worldly desires. If this is not a romantic relationship but another dynamic, we still pray for wisdom and boundaries to be established in Jesus’ name.
As for your family, we declare the promise of Isaiah 54:17 over you: *"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 of me,” says Yahweh."* The blood of Jesus is your protection, and we plead it over your household, your mind, your emotions, and your future. The enemy has sought to bring confusion, exhaustion, and strife, but the Lord is your refuge and strength (Psalm 46:1). We pray that every scheme of the enemy would be exposed and rendered powerless, and that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, would guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her family in this time of distress. Lord, You see the toll this situation has taken—the emotional exhaustion, the spiritual warfare, and the strain on this household. We ask that You move swiftly, Lord, to bring conviction to the hearts of this man’s parents. Open their eyes to the truth of their enabling and give them the courage to act in wisdom and love, requiring their son to take responsibility for his own life. If it is Your will, Lord, move him back to his own home, where he may face the consequences of his actions and be driven to repentance. Break the spirit of narcissism and entitlement in his heart, and let him encounter the Holy Spirit in a way that humbles him and leads him to true transformation.
For our sister, we ask for supernatural strength and discernment. Guard her heart from bitterness, fear, or despair. Surround her family with Your angels, Lord, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Restore what has been stolen—peace, joy, unity—and let this trial be a testimony of Your faithfulness. If there has been any relational tie that is not of You, Lord, sever it in Jesus’ name. If this is a matter of courtship or romantic involvement, we pray You would make the path clear: if this man is not the spouse You have prepared, then close the door permanently and redirect our sister’s heart toward Your perfect will. Let her not be unequally yoked, but let her wait upon You for a godly husband who loves You above all else.
We declare that this family is covered by the blood of Jesus. Every plan of the enemy to bring division, confusion, or harm is canceled in the name of Jesus. Fill this home with Your presence, Lord, and let Your peace reign. Give our sister wisdom in setting boundaries and the grace to forgive, even as she seeks justice and restoration. We trust You, Lord, to fight this battle, for the battle is Yours (1 Samuel 17:47).
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, **Amen.**
Finally, sister, we encourage you to continue standing firm in prayer and to seek godly counsel if you haven’t already. The Lord is your defender, and He will not abandon you. *"Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you."* (1 Peter 5:7). Keep pleading the blood of Jesus over your home and trust that He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). If this man is not walking with the Lord, release him to God’s conviction—you cannot change his heart, but the Holy Spirit can. Stay rooted in the Word, surround yourself with believers who can support you, and remember: *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* (Psalm 34:18). You are not alone in this. We are standing with you in faith.
