We join with you in lifting up your daughter before the Lord, covering her in the precious blood of Jesus Christ, who alone is her refuge, strength, and deliverer. Your heart cries out for her with the fervent, righteous love of a parent who seeks God’s will above all else, and we stand with you in this spiritual battle, for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the powers of this dark world and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). You have prayed with boldness and clarity, and we echo your petitions before the throne of grace, knowing that the Lord hears the prayers of the righteous and acts on behalf of His children.
Your daughter is living in a situation that is explicitly forbidden in Scripture. She is residing with a man who is not her husband, and this is fornication in the sight of God. The Word is clear: "Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge" (Hebrews 13:4). This relationship is built on rebellion, not godliness, and it is leading her away from the Lord’s design for her life. The young man’s behavior—controlling, manipulative, financially exploitative, and spiritually corrupt—is evidence of a heart that is not submitted to Christ. The influence of his mother only deepens the deception, and we pray that God would expose and dismantle their schemes, for "the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptation and to reserve the unjust for the day of judgment" (2 Peter 2:9).
We rebuke the enemy’s hold on your daughter’s mind, emotions, and will. The Lord did not create her to be ensnared by a man who dishonors her, her family, and her faith. She is a daughter of the King, called to purity, holiness, and a life that glorifies Christ. The young man’s pride, rebellion, and refusal to repent are not signs of a heart prepared for marriage—they are signs of a heart in need of salvation. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict him deeply of his sin, that he would turn from his wicked ways, and that if he does not repent, the Lord would remove him from your daughter’s life entirely. "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14). This relationship is a yoke of bondage, not a godly union, and we pray for its complete severance in Jesus’ name.
Your prayer for her job and financial stability is righteous. The Lord is her Provider, and He has blessed her with work that sustains her. We pray that she would recognize the danger of walking away from God’s provision to follow the empty promises of this young man. May the Lord restore her gratitude, her diligence, and her witness in her workplace, that her coworkers and supervisors would see Christ in her once more. "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ" (Colossians 3:23-24). We ask that the Lord would grant her the promotion He has prepared for her, and that she would not be led astray by impulsive decisions influenced by this ungodly relationship.
We also lift up your prayer for her heart to turn fully back to the Lord. No relationship should ever take the place of Jesus in her life, and we pray that the Holy Spirit would break every idolatrous tie that has formed in her heart. "Little children, keep yourselves from idols" (1 John 5:21). 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 restore her godly, inspiring, and respectful personality, the one He designed her to have before she was led astray. May she find her identity in Christ alone, not in the approval or affection of a man who does not honor her or the Lord.
We agree with you in praying for a godly spouse for your daughter—one who loves the Lord with all his heart, who will lead her spiritually, and who will cherish her as Christ cherishes the church. This young man is not that husband. He does not meet the biblical standard of a man who is ready for marriage, and we pray that your daughter would see this truth clearly. "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for her" (Ephesians 5:25). A godly husband will reflect Christ’s sacrificial love, not the selfishness and control that this young man exhibits. We pray that the Lord would prepare your daughter’s heart for the man He has for her, and that she would wait patiently and faithfully for God’s timing.
Finally, we pray for you, that the Lord would give you strength, wisdom, and peace as you navigate this trial. You are not alone in this fight; the body of Christ stands with you, and the Lord is your ever-present help. "Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you" (1 Peter 5:7). We pray that your daughter would move back home swiftly, that she would be surrounded by godly influences, and that the ungodly ties binding her to this young man and his family would be completely broken.
Heavenly Father, we come before You with humble and contrite hearts, lifting up this daughter who has been led astray. Lord, You see her struggles, her pain, and the deception that has taken hold of her. We ask that You would open her eyes to the truth, that You would convict her heart of the sin she is living in, and that You would give her the strength to turn away from this ungodly relationship. Break every chain of manipulation, control, and rebellion that has bound her. Expose the schemes of the enemy and render them powerless. Restore her to a right relationship with You, Lord, and with her family.
We pray for the young man, that if it is Your will, You would bring him to repentance. But if he refuses to turn from his sin, we pray that You would remove him from her life completely. Do not allow him to continue exploiting her financially, emotionally, or spiritually. Let him be convicted of his actions and release her fully, for You are a God of justice and righteousness.
Lord, we pray for her job, that You would protect her from making destructive decisions. Grant her the promotion You have prepared for her, and restore her gratitude and diligence in her work. May her coworkers and supervisors see Christ in her once more, and may her work be a testimony of Your faithfulness.
Father, we pray that You would prepare a godly spouse for this young woman, a man who loves You and will love her as Christ loves the church. Break every ungodly soul tie and restore her heart to You. Let her find her worth and identity in You alone, not in the empty affections of a man who does not honor You.
We pray for this mother, that You would give her wisdom, strength, and peace. Comfort her heart, Lord, and let her see the victory You are bringing in her daughter’s life. Bring her daughter home swiftly, Father, and restore their relationship. Let their bond be stronger than ever, rooted in Your love and truth.
We declare victory in this situation, Lord. We declare that no weapon formed against your daughter shall prosper, and that every tongue that rises against her in judgment, You shall condemn. We declare that she is Your beloved daughter, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and that You are leading her back to the path of righteousness.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We thank You for Your faithfulness, Your power, and Your love. We trust in You to bring restoration, breakthrough, and deliverance. May Your will be done in her life, and may she give all glory, honor, and praise to You.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
