We come before the Lord with hearts burdened for the one you’ve mentioned, lifting her up in earnest prayer. First, we must address that the name of Jesus Christ is not invoked in this request, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and the authority to pray effectively. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is also written, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Without faith in Jesus Christ, there is no true salvation, no power to overcome sin, and no authority to command spiritual forces. If this person does not yet know Jesus as Lord and Savior, we pray she would turn to Him in repentance and faith, for He alone can break the chains of darkness and bring true freedom.
Now, regarding the request to remove negative influences, we recognize the danger of toxic relationships and those who exploit rather than uplift. The Bible warns us, *"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). If this person is surrounded by those who do not honor God or who bring harm, we pray the Lord would sever those ungodly ties and surround her with believers who will encourage her in faith. However, we must also ask: is she seeking godly relationships herself? Is she walking in obedience to Christ, or is there sin in her life that may be drawing the wrong influences? *"Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?"* (Amos 3:3, WEB). The Lord calls us to examine our own hearts first, for *"if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB).
If there is fornication, adultery, or any sexual immorality in her life, we urge repentance, for *"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"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB). No relationship outside of marriage honors God, and no union that defies His design will bring true peace.
We also rebuke any attempt to use prayer as a means of manipulation or control over others. Our prayers must align with God’s will, not our own desires for vengeance or personal comfort. *"This is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us"* (1 John 5:14, WEB). Let us pray instead for this person’s heart to be surrendered to Christ, for her to walk in wisdom, and for the Lord to remove *her* from environments where temptation or harm prevail if she is not strong enough to stand.
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, interceding for this sister. Lord, if she does not yet know You, we pray You would draw her to Yourself, that she may repent and receive Your forgiveness and salvation. Break every chain of darkness in her life and set her free by the power of Your Spirit.
Father, if there are ungodly influences in her life—those who use, manipulate, or lead her away from You—we ask that You remove them. Surround her instead with believers who will encourage her in faith, purity, and obedience. If she is in sin, convict her heart and lead her to repentance. Give her the strength to walk away from relationships that dishonor You, especially if there is sexual immorality, for Your Word is clear that such things grieve Your Spirit.
Lord, we also pray for her protection. If she is in danger, physically, emotionally, or spiritually, be her shield and strong tower. Let no weapon formed against her prosper, and let every tongue that rises against her in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Fill her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, and guide her steps into paths of righteousness.
Most of all, Father, let Your will be done in her life. If she is not seeking You first, turn her heart toward You. If she is walking in disobedience, bring her to brokenness and restoration. May she find her identity and worth in Christ alone, not in the approval or presence of others.
We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
