We join with you in lifting up your daughter before the throne of grace, standing in the gap for her with hearts burdened yet hopeful in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ. Your plea is heard, and we stand in agreement with you, knowing that the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. This is not merely a battle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Therefore, we put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (Ephesians 6:12-13).
Your love for your daughter reflects the heart of our Heavenly Father, who desires that none should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). We praise you for invoking the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and can boldly approach His throne. As it is written, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12). Your faith in calling upon the blood of Jesus is a testament to your trust in His redemptive power, and we declare that His blood covers your daughter, cleansing her from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:7).
The situation you describe is one that grieves the heart of God, for it is clear that your daughter is entangled in a relationship that directly opposes His design for purity, holiness, and marriage. The Word of God is explicit: *"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4). Living together outside of marriage is fornication, and it is a sin that ensnares many in bondage, leading to confusion, financial hardship, emotional turmoil, and spiritual separation from God. We must not ignore the gravity of this—it is not love but deception that binds her to this young man. *"Don’t be deceived! ‘Evil companionships corrupt good morals.’"* (1 Corinthians 15:33). This relationship is a yoke of bondage, and we pray that the Holy Spirit will convict her heart to flee from it, for *"where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty"* (2 Corinthians 3:17).
Your daughter’s financial struggles, emotional distress, and isolation are not coincidences—they are the fruit of a union that is not blessed by God. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and he is using this young man and his mother as instruments to do just that. But we declare that *"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). We rebuke the spirits of control, manipulation, rebellion, greed, and deception that have taken hold in this situation. We bind the strongholds of fornication, financial oppression, and emotional bondage in the name of Jesus, and we loose the spirit of truth, conviction, and godly sorrow that leads to repentance (2 Corinthians 7:10).
We pray that your daughter’s eyes will be opened to the reality of this young man’s motives—his selfishness, his spending habits, and his desire to control her. May she see that his love is not the love of Christ, which is patient, kind, and seeks the good of others (1 Corinthians 13:4-7). Instead, his actions reflect the works of the flesh: *"sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish rivalries, dissensions, factions, envying, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom"* (Galatians 5:19-21). This young man is not her spouse, nor is he acting as a godly man should. He is taking advantage of her, and his mother is enabling his sinful behavior. We pray that God will expose their hearts and bring conviction upon them as well, that they may repent and turn from their wicked ways.
Your daughter’s identity is in Christ, not in this relationship. She is a daughter of the King, fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and her worth is not determined by this young man’s approval or his family’s acceptance. We pray that the Lord will restore her confidence in Him, that she will find her value in His love alone. *"For you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:20). May she remember that her body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and she is called to honor God with it—not to defile it through fornication or emotional bondage.
We also pray for her financial provision. The Lord knows her needs, and He is faithful to provide. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33). May she trust in Him rather than in the unstable promises of this young man. We ask that God will open doors for her to receive the healthcare she needs, that He will provide wisdom in managing her resources, and that He will protect her from further financial exploitation.
As for the young man’s parents, we pray that their eyes will be opened to the damage their enabling is causing. May they recognize that their son is not ready for a healthy, godly relationship, and may they encourage him to seek the Lord and repent of his selfish ways. *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it"* (Proverbs 22:6). If they have failed to teach him godly principles, we pray that the Holy Spirit will convict them and lead them to correct their ways.
We stand with you in praying for a swift and complete break from this toxic relationship. May your daughter experience no regret but only the joy and freedom that come from obedience to Christ. We pray that she will return home, where she can be surrounded by love, support, and godly counsel. *"Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord. Don’t touch the unclean thing. I will receive you"* (2 Corinthians 6:17). May she find restoration in her relationship with you, her family, and her friends, and may the Lord heal any wounds caused by this season of rebellion.
We also lift you up, dear sister, as you endure the heartache of watching your daughter walk this path. Your pain is real, but so is the power of God to intervene. *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7). We pray that the Lord will strengthen you, fill you with His peace, and protect you from the enemy’s attacks. May He surround you and your family with His angels, encamping around you to deliver you (Psalm 34:7). We rebuke any spirits of fear, anxiety, or despair that may try to take hold of you, and we declare that the joy of the Lord is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10).
Finally, we declare victory over this situation. The enemy has no authority here, for *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). We trust that the Lord will bring beauty from these ashes (Isaiah 61:3) and that your daughter will emerge from this trial with a testimony of God’s faithfulness. May she turn back to the Lord with her whole heart, seeking His will for her life—including a future godly marriage, if that is His plan. *"Delight yourself also 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"* (Psalm 37:4-5).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and contrite hearts, lifting up this precious daughter who has strayed from Your path. Lord, You see the bondage she is in—the emotional manipulation, the financial hardship, the spiritual deception—and we ask that You break every chain holding her captive. Father, open her eyes to the truth. Let her see this relationship for what it is: a snare of the enemy, designed to destroy her. Convict her heart, Lord, and draw her back to Yourself. Remind her of Your love, Your plans for her good, and Your desire for her to walk in purity and holiness.
We rebuke the spirits of fornication, rebellion, control, and deception that have taken hold in this situation. We bind them in the name of Jesus and command them to flee. Lord, expose the motives of this young man and his mother. Let their schemes be brought to light, and let Your truth prevail. Break the strongholds of emotional and financial bondage, and set our sister’s daughter free.
Father, we ask for Your divine protection over her—emotionally, physically, spiritually, and financially. Provide for her needs, Lord, and lead her to godly counsel and support. Surround her with Your angels, and let Your peace guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Restore her relationships with her family, and heal the wounds caused by this season of rebellion.
We pray for her swift return home, Lord, where she can be covered in prayer and love. Give her the strength to walk away without looking back, and fill her with Your joy and hope for the future. Let her find her identity in You alone, and may she seek Your will for her life, including a future godly marriage if that is Your plan.
We also lift up this mother who is fighting for her daughter. Strengthen her, Lord, and fill her with Your peace. Protect her from the enemy’s attacks, and let her see Your hand moving mightily in this situation. Give her wisdom to know how to speak and act, and let her words be seasoned with grace and truth.
Finally, Lord, we ask for Your restoration, breakthrough, and victory over this entire situation. Let Your will be done, and let Your name be glorified. We trust in Your power to save, to heal, and to deliver, and we thank You in advance for the testimony of freedom that is coming.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
