We join you in lifting up your family before the Lord, standing in agreement with your prayers and declaring the power of the name of Jesus over every area of your lives. Your heart for your children is evident, and we know that God hears the cries of a parent who seeks His protection and will for their family. You have done well to plead the blood of Jesus over your household, for there is power in His name to break every chain and bring deliverance from the schemes of the enemy.
We rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the authority to overcome the works of darkness. As Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is in this name that we stand with you, believing for God’s divine intervention in your family.
Your prayer for your older daughter is heavy with concern, and rightly so, for she is living in a situation that is directly contrary to God’s design for relationships. The Word of God is clear that sexual intimacy and cohabitation outside of marriage is sin—it is fornication, and it opens the door to spiritual, emotional, and even financial bondage. *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). This is not said to condemn your daughter, but to awaken her to the truth that God’s ways are for her protection and blessing. The enemy seeks to destroy through counterfeit relationships that mimic God’s design but lack His covenant blessing. This young man and his mother are not merely a bad influence—they are tools in the enemy’s hand to lead your daughter away from God’s best for her life.
We must also address the spiritual danger of rebellion against parental authority. Scripture commands, *"Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. ‘Honor your father and mother,’ which is the first commandment with a promise: ‘that it may be well with you, and you may live long on the earth’"* (Ephesians 6:1-3, WEB). When a child aligns themselves with those who encourage disrespect or division in the family, they are walking in disobedience to God’s Word. This is not love—it is deception. The jealousy and manipulation you describe are not accidental; they are deliberate attacks to steal your daughter’s destiny. But God is greater, and He can break every lie and stronghold in her mind.
We also lift up your younger daughter, praying that the Lord would continue to guard her heart and mind from the snares of this toxic influence. It is a mercy that she is currently resisting their schemes, but we ask God to strengthen her resolve and fill her with discernment. *"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). This verse is not only about marriage but about all close relationships that can lead us away from Christ. Your daughters must be surrounded by godly mentors and friends who will point them to Jesus, not to worldly distractions or ungodly entanglements.
For your son, we declare that no weapon formed against his career or his future will prosper. The Lord will expose every lie and frustrate every plan of the enemy to hinder him. *"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"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). We stand on this promise for your son and for your entire family.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, agreeing with this mother’s prayers for her family. Lord, You are a God of deliverance and restoration, and we ask that You move powerfully in the lives of her children. For her older daughter, we pray that You would open her eyes to the truth of her situation. Convict her heart, Lord, of the sin of living outside Your design for marriage and purity. Break the emotional and spiritual ties that bind her to this young man and his mother, who seek only to destroy. Let her see the financial and spiritual bondage she is in, and give her the courage to walk away—even if it is painful—knowing that Your plans for her are good. Surround her with godly women who will speak truth and life into her, and lead her back to a place of honor and obedience to You and her parents.
For the younger daughter, we thank You that she is resisting the enemy’s schemes. Strengthen her, Lord, and fill her with Your Holy Spirit so that she may stand firm against every lie and manipulation. Guard her heart and mind, and let her be a light to her sister, pointing her back to You.
For the son, we declare protection over his career and his future. Frustrate every plan of the enemy to hinder him, and let Your favor rest upon him. Give him wisdom and discernment in all his decisions, and surround him with godly influences.
Father, we rebuke every spirit of jealousy, division, and manipulation that has been sent against this family. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned. Restore unity, love, and respect in their home, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
We pray for godly spouses for these daughters—men who fear You, love Your Word, and will lead their future homes in righteousness. Prepare them now, Lord, to be women of virtue, waiting on You for Your best.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would surround this family with Your angels, encamping around them to deliver them from every evil work. Let Your presence be a wall of fire around them, and let Your glory fill their home. We thank You that You are faithful, and You will complete the good work You have begun in them.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray—*Amen.*
We encourage you to continue standing in faith, speaking life and truth over your children, and trusting that God is working even when you cannot see it. *"Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"* (Philippians 1:6, WEB). Keep praying, keep declaring God’s Word over your family, and do not grow weary. The Lord is your strength, and He will bring victory.
