We come before the Lord with you in this difficult season, lifting your heart’s cry for peace, protection, and divine intervention in this situation. We praise God that you have brought this before Him in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father and the authority to stand against the schemes of the enemy. Your request reveals deep pain, and we want to address both the spiritual and practical aspects of what you’re facing with biblical truth and prayer.
First, we must acknowledge that the turmoil in your home—especially involving your ex and the distress it causes your daughter—is not of God. Where there is confusion, strife, and fear, the enemy seeks to exploit broken relationships to bring further destruction. The Bible tells us in 1 Corinthians 14:33, *"For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace."* Yet we also see in Ephesians 6:12 that *"we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* This is a spiritual battle, and we must engage it as such—with prayer, the Word of God, and the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).
However, we must also speak truth into the relational dynamics here. Your request for God to "keep your ex away" and "occupy him with something else" suggests that this man’s presence is disruptive and harmful. If this relationship ended due to ungodly behavior—whether infidelity, abuse, manipulation, or simply an unbelief in Christ—then it is right to seek God’s protection from further harm. 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."* If this man is not walking in repentance or faith in Christ, then his influence in your life and your daughter’s life is dangerous. The Bible is clear that we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), and if this relationship was outside of God’s design for marriage (whether through divorce, fornication, or an ungodly union), then we must pray for God’s redemptive work—not for reconciliation, but for protection and healing from its consequences.
As for your daughter’s outbursts, we understand the desperation in your words: *"she can shout on the street, I cannot control her."* Parenting is a sacred stewardship, and when a child is struggling with anger, defiance, or emotional turmoil, it often reflects deeper spiritual or relational wounds. Proverbs 22:6 instructs, *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it."* Yet this training requires patience, consistency, and most importantly, a foundation of love and truth. If your daughter is acting out due to the instability of this situation with your ex, then we must pray for God to bring healing to her heart and wisdom to you as her parent. However, we must also ask: Is there discipline being applied in love? Are there clear, biblical boundaries in your home? Children thrive in environments where they feel secure, and security comes from knowing what is expected and experiencing consistent, Christ-like leadership.
You also asked God to *"stop my daughter from wanting things which are not that important or make her compromise."* This is a prayer we can echo, but we must also consider whether her desires stem from a lack of contentment, a response to trauma, or even a reflection of what she has witnessed in your own life. Philippians 4:11-13 reminds us that *"I have learned to be content in whatever state I am in. I know how to be humbled, and I know also how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* Contentment is learned, and it is taught. If your daughter is struggling with discontentment, then this is an opportunity to disciple her in trusting God’s provision and sovereignty.
Now, let us address the demonic attacks you mentioned. The fact that you recognize spiritual opposition is crucial. The enemy seeks to exploit broken relationships, fear, and anger to bring further destruction. But we have authority in Christ to stand against him. James 4:7 declares, *"Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* This resistance begins with submission to God—repenting of any sin in our own lives, surrendering our fears to Him, and standing firm in His Word. We must also ensure that there are no open doors in your home for the enemy to operate. Have there been involvement in occult practices, ungodly relationships, or unrepentant sin? If so, these must be renounced and closed in Jesus’ name.
Finally, we notice that while you ended your prayer *"in Jesus’ name,"* there is a sense of desperation that borders on demanding God to act according to *your* timeline and *your* methods. We must surrender our will to His, trusting that His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9). Psalm 37:5 says, *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."* This doesn’t mean God will remove all trials, but it means He will walk with you through them, refining you and your daughter for His glory.

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her daughter in this time of turmoil. Lord, You see the pain, the fear, and the spiritual battles raging in their home. We ask for Your divine protection over them—set a hedge of thorns around this family that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Lord, if this ex has no godly place in their lives, then we pray You would sever every ungodly tie and redirect his path away from them. Occupy him with Your conviction, Lord—if he does not know You, soften his heart to repentance; if he is walking in rebellion, bring him to a place of brokenness before You.
Father, we rebuke every demonic assignment against this home. We bind the spirits of confusion, strife, anger, and fear in Jesus’ name, and we loose Your peace, Your wisdom, and Your love to flood every room. Let no weapon of the enemy prevail here. Fill this home with Your presence, Lord, so that darkness must flee.
We pray for our sister—give her supernatural patience, wisdom, and strength. Help her to parent with grace and firmness, to set godly boundaries, and to model contentment in Christ. Heal her heart from any bitterness, fear, or past wounds that may be affecting her ability to lead her daughter. Remind her that You are her Provider, her Protector, and her Peace.
Lord, we lift up this daughter—calm her heart, Father. If she is crying out from pain, heal her. If she is acting in rebellion, convict her. If she is responding to instability, bring stability. Teach her to find her worth and security in You alone. Give our sister the words to speak life into her daughter, to disciple her in truth, and to cover her in prayer.
Father, we ask for harmony, but not at the expense of truth. Let Your Word be the foundation of this home. If there are areas of sin or compromise, reveal them and grant repentance. If there are generational curses or ungodly soul ties, break them now in Jesus’ name.
Most of all, Lord, let Your will be done. We surrender this situation to You, trusting that You are working all things for good (Romans 8:28). Give our sister a spirit of surrender, not demand—help her to release her fears into Your hands and to walk in faith, not fear.
We declare Psalm 91 over them: *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’"* Let them dwell in You, Lord, and find their refuge in You alone.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

**A Word of Encouragement:**
Sister, we want to encourage you to immersing yourself and your daughter in Scripture. Read Psalm 23 together—*"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not lack."* Let this truth sink into your hearts. Also, consider fasting and praying as a family, seeking God’s face for breakthrough. Surround yourself with a community of believers who can support you, pray with you, and hold you accountable.
If your ex was involved in sinful behaviors (abuse, adultery, etc.), we strongly encourage you to seek biblical counseling to help you and your daughter heal. If you have not already, we urge you to forgive him—not for his sake, but for yours, so that bitterness does not take root (Hebrews 12:15).
Lastly, if there has been sexual immorality in your past (whether with this man or others), we encourage you to repent and renounce it, asking God to cleanse you and restore what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25). You are a new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and His grace is sufficient for you.
Stand firm, sister. The Lord is with you.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
