We join with you in lifting up your daughter before the Lord, standing in agreement with your prayers for her protection, restoration, and deliverance from this ungodly relationship. Your heart as a parent is evident, and we commend you for seeking the Lord’s intervention in this situation. It is clear that this relationship is not only outside of God’s design for marriage but is also causing spiritual, emotional, and financial harm to your daughter and your family. The enemy seeks to destroy, but we know that Christ has already won the victory, and we claim that victory over this situation in Jesus’ name.
The Word of God is clear about the dangers of unequally yoked relationships and the sin of fornication. 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* Your daughter is living with this young man outside of marriage, which is fornication—a sin that grieves the Holy Spirit and opens the door to further bondage. We must address this directly, for the Lord’s desire is for her repentance and freedom. 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."*
This relationship is not of the Lord, and the manipulation, greed, and control you’ve described are fruits of a corrupt and unrepentant heart. The young man’s behavior—and the enabling of his mother—are not only harmful but are in direct opposition to God’s will. 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 influence of this relationship has already brought confusion, strife, and financial burden, which are clear signs of the enemy’s work. We rebuke these spirits of manipulation, greed, control, and deception in the name of Jesus, commanding them to be exposed and broken off your daughter’s life.
We also pray for the young man and his mother, that the Lord would open their eyes to the destruction they are causing. Acts 26:18 reminds us that God sends us *"to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in me."* May the Holy Spirit convict them of their sins and lead them to repentance. If they refuse to turn from their ways, we pray that the Lord would remove their influence from your daughter’s life completely.
Your daughter’s job and financial stability are under attack, but we declare that the Lord is her provider and protector. Philippians 4:19 assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* We pray that she would recognize the blessings of her current position and not be led astray by impulsive decisions influenced by this ungodly relationship. May the Lord grant her favor with her supervisors and coworkers, restoring her witness for Christ in that place. We also pray for the promotion that is in store for her, that it would be a testament to God’s faithfulness and a reminder of His provision.
Most importantly, we pray for your daughter’s heart to turn fully back to the Lord. This relationship has become an idol, and anything that takes precedence over Christ in our lives must be broken. Exodus 20:3 commands, *"You shall have no other gods before me."* We ask the Holy Spirit to convict her deeply of this truth, drawing her into repentance and a renewed commitment to Christ. May she see this young man for who he truly is—a distraction from God’s best for her life. We pray that the Lord would break every emotional and spiritual tie binding her to this unhealthy attachment, restoring her confidence, joy, and relationship with her family.
We also lift you up, dear parent, asking the Lord to grant you strength, wisdom, and discernment as you navigate this trial. Ephesians 6:4 reminds us to *"bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord."* You are fighting a spiritual battle, but the weapons of our warfare are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4). Stand firm in faith, knowing that the Lord hears your prayers and is working all things for His glory.
Finally, we pray for your daughter’s future spouse—the godly man that the Lord has prepared for her. We ask that the Lord would guard her heart and prepare her for a marriage that honors Him. Proverbs 18:22 tells us, *"Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the Lord."* May she wait patiently for the Lord’s timing, trusting that His plans for her are good.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this daughter who is caught in the snares of the enemy. Lord, we plead the blood of Jesus over her life—cleansing her, protecting her, and setting her free from every ungodly tie. We break the power of fornication, manipulation, greed, and control that has taken hold of her through this relationship. Expose the schemes of the enemy, Lord, and render them powerless. Convict this young man and his mother of their sins, and if they do not repent, remove their influence from her life completely.
Restore our sister’s joy, peace, and godly personality. Renew her mind and heart to seek You above all else. Protect her job, Lord, and grant her the promotion that You have prepared for her. Let her coworkers and supervisors see Christ in her once more, and may she be a light in that place. Break the financial burdens that have been placed on her unjustly, and restore what has been taken. Sever every ungodly soul tie, and let her walk in the freedom that Christ died to give her.
Father, we pray that You would open her eyes to see this relationship for what it truly is—a distraction from Your perfect will. Draw her back to Yourself, Lord, and let her find her identity and worth in You alone. Prepare her for the godly spouse You have for her, and let her wait patiently for Your timing.
Strengthen this family, Lord, and unite them in Your love. Protect them from the spiritual attacks of the enemy, and let Your peace reign in their home. Give this parent wisdom and discernment as they guide their daughter back to You.
We declare victory in this situation, knowing that You are faithful to complete the work You have begun. We trust in Your promises, and we thank You for the breakthrough that is coming. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
