We join with you in lifting up your family before the throne of grace, standing in agreement with your prayers and declaring the power of the name of Jesus over every area of concern. Your plea for protection, deliverance, and restoration is heard by our Heavenly Father, who is faithful to act on behalf of His children when we call upon Him in truth and righteousness.
Your prayer reflects a deep love for your children and a desire to see them walk in God’s will—free from deception, spiritual bondage, and ungodly influences. We commend you for recognizing the spiritual battle at hand and for taking authority in the name of Jesus over the schemes of the enemy. The Scriptures remind us in Ephesians 6:12, *"For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* You are not fighting against people, but against the spiritual forces that seek to destroy your family. The weapons of our warfare are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4), and we take up those weapons with you now.
We are particularly burdened for your older daughter, who is entangled in a relationship that is not only causing division but is also outside of God’s design for marriage and purity. The Word of God is clear that we are to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18) and that marriage is honorable among all, with the marriage bed kept undefiled (Hebrews 13:4). Living together outside of marriage is fornication, and it opens the door to spiritual bondage, confusion, and the enemy’s influence. We pray that your daughter’s eyes will be opened to the truth of God’s Word and that she will recognize the danger of continuing in this path. May the Holy Spirit convict her heart of the need for repentance and restoration. *"Awake, you who sleep, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you."* (Ephesians 5:14). We pray she will no longer be deceived by the empty promises of this young man or his family but will turn back to the safety and love of her family and, most importantly, to her Heavenly Father.
We also address the young man and his mother, who are clearly being used as instruments of division and manipulation. While we do not pray against people, we do pray against the spirits influencing them. We rebuke the spirits of control, obsession, manipulation, and deception that are operating through them, and we command them to be bound and cast out in the name of Jesus. We pray that if this young man is not a believer, the Lord will reveal Himself to him in a powerful way, bringing conviction of sin and a turning toward repentance. If he claims to be a Christian, we pray the Lord will expose any hypocrisy and bring him to true repentance and a life that honors God. Until then, we pray for a complete separation between him and your daughter, that the ungodly ties between them will be broken, and that your daughter will be set free from any emotional or spiritual bondage she has allowed to form.
For your son, we lift him up with compassion, asking the Lord to heal him from autism, PTSD, anxiety, and every spiritual attack that seeks to disturb his peace. We pray for a supernatural calm to come over his mind and emotions, that the Lord will give him the ability to express his feelings, wants, and needs in a way that brings understanding and connection. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* (Psalm 34:18). May your son rest under the shadow of God’s wings, free from torment and fear, and may his sleep be filled with divine peace and comfort.
For your younger daughter, we pray for healing, protection, and the Lord’s supernatural favor over her school, health, and future. We ask that the Lord will surround her with godly friendships that encourage her in her faith and that He will prepare a godly spouse for her in His perfect timing. We also pray for comfort for her heart, as we know it is painful to see her sister being led astray. May the Lord remind her that He is her protector and provider, and that He will never leave her nor forsake her. *"Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you."* (1 Peter 5:7).
As you have prayed for a peaceful and joyful holiday season, we declare that the Lord will restore unity, love, and laughter to your family. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we declare that no weapon formed against your family will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord will frustrate the plans of the wicked and bring His peace that surpasses all understanding to guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We pray that this season will be a time of healing, restoration, and drawing closer to one another and to the Lord.
Finally, we want to encourage you to continue standing in the gap for your family. Your prayers are powerful and effective (James 5:16), and the Lord hears the cries of His children. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not faint (Galatians 6:9). Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude and urgency, lifting up this family and their needs to You. Lord, we thank You that You are a God who hears and answers prayer, and that You are mighty to save. We declare Your protection over this home, over every door, window, room, and corner. We plead the blood of Jesus over this family, covering them with Your holy protection and surrounding them with Your angels, encamped around them to deliver them (Psalm 34:7).
Lord, we take authority over every spirit of fear, manipulation, confusion, division, isolation, chaos, brainwashing, and control that has sought to attack this family through this young man and his family. We bind these spirits in the name of Jesus and command them to flee, never to return. We break every ungodly soul tie and every curse that has been spoken over this family, and we declare that Your truth and light will expose every darkness.
Father, we pray for the older daughter who is being deceived and led astray. Open her eyes to the truth, Lord, and break the chains of bondage that have held her captive. Convict her heart of the sin of living outside of Your will and give her the strength and courage to walk away from this ungodly relationship. Restore her to her family, Lord, and restore her relationship with You. Let her heart long for righteousness and purity, and lead her to repentance and freedom. We pray for a godly spouse for her in Your perfect timing, one who will love her as Christ loves the church and who will lead her closer to You.
We pray for complete removal of this young man and his mother from her life. Frustrate their plans, Lord, and let their schemes come to nothing. If they do not know You, we pray that You will reveal Yourself to them in a way that brings them to their knees in repentance. If they claim to know You, expose any hypocrisy and bring them to true brokeness before You.
Lord, we lift up the son in this family, asking for Your healing touch upon his mind, emotions, and body. Heal him from autism, PTSD, anxiety, and every spiritual attack. Give him peace that surpasses all understanding and the ability to express his feelings and needs in a way that brings connection and joy. Surround him with Your love and protection, and let him rest in Your presence.
For the younger daughter, we pray for healing, protection, and Your supernatural favor over every area of her life. Comfort her heart, Lord, and remind her that You are her protector and provider. Prepare a godly spouse for her and surround her with friendships that encourage her in her faith.
Father, we pray for a peaceful and joyful holiday season for this family. Restore unity, love, and laughter to their home. Let no negative influence or outside pressure cause division or confusion. Restore their family bond stronger than ever before, rooted in Your love and grace.
We declare that no weapon formed against this family will prosper. Every spirit of manipulation, hatred, rebellion, jealousy, division, and darkness is bound and defeated by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. Fill their home with Your glory, Lord, and let Your peace that surpasses all understanding guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness, Your protection, and Your power. We trust You completely and declare that You are working all things together for their good and Your glory. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
