We stand with you in this time of distress, lifting you up before the Lord with hearts full of compassion and urgency. Your cry for protection and deliverance has been heard, and we join you in pleading the mighty name of Jesus over this situation. The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He sees the affliction you are enduring, and He will not abandon you. The Scriptures declare, *"The Lord hears the needy, and doesn’t despise his captive people"* (Psalm 69:33). He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).
First, we must address the gravity of the abuse you are facing. No child of God should endure such treatment, especially in what should be the safety of their own home. The Lord detests violence and oppression, and His Word is clear: *"Don’t team up with those who are given to outbursts of anger. You might learn their ways and get yourself ensnared"* (Proverbs 22:24-25). Your ex-husband’s actions are not only sinful but dangerous, and the Lord does not take lightly the harm inflicted upon His children. The Bible warns, *"Don’t be deceived! God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap"* (Galatians 6:7). His behavior is an abomination before the Lord, and we pray that God will bring conviction upon his heart so deeply that he turns from his wickedness in repentance. However, we also recognize that while we pray for his repentance, your immediate safety is paramount.
You have done well to remove yourself from the situation temporarily, and we urge you to seek further protection. The Lord has placed authorities in our lives for our good, and you have every right—and responsibility—to involve them for your safety and that of your daughter. *"For he is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he doesn’t bear the sword in vain; for he is a servant of God, an avenger for wrath to him who does evil"* (Romans 13:4). Do not hesitate to contact local law enforcement or a domestic violence shelter. The Lord can use these means to shield you while He works in the spiritual realm.
We also encourage you to seek support from your church or a trusted Christian community. You were not meant to walk through this alone. *"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn’t have another to lift him up"* (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10). Isolation only empowers the enemy, but in the body of Christ, you will find strength, wisdom, and practical help.
As for your ex-husband, we join you in binding his wicked intentions and rebuking the spirit of violence and deception at work in him. The Word of God commands us to *"resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7). We declare that every plan of the enemy to harm you is dismantled in the name of Jesus. We pray that the Lord would place a hedge of thorns around this man so that he cannot draw near to you or your home. May the Lord strike his heart with conviction so that he is unable to continue in his sin. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me," says Yahweh* (Isaiah 54:17).
We also pray for your daughter, that the Lord would protect her heart and mind from the trauma of witnessing such behavior. May He surround her with His peace and grant you wisdom as you guide her through this. *"But Jesus said, ‘Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for God’s Kingdom belongs to ones like these’"* (Mark 10:14). The Lord loves her deeply and will guard her spirit.
Sister, you are not powerless. The same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead lives in you (Romans 8:11), and He will empower you to take the steps necessary for your safety. We pray that the Lord would open doors for you to secure a permanent place of refuge, whether through legal means, the support of believers, or divine provision. *"Yahweh also will be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9). Trust in Him to make a way where there seems to be none.
Lastly, we remind you that vengeance belongs to the Lord. While your pain and anger are understandable, we must release this man into God’s hands rather than seeking retribution ourselves. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22). The Lord sees his actions, and He will repay. Your focus must remain on your healing and the protection of your daughter. *"Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"* (Romans 12:21).

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne of grace on behalf of our sister, who is crying out to You in her distress. Lord, You are a God of justice and mercy, and we ask that You rise up now to defend her. You have said in Your Word, *"The Lord executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed"* (Psalm 103:6). We plead the blood of Jesus over her life, her home, and her daughter. Let no weapon formed against her prosper, and let every tongue that rises against her in judgment be condemned.
Lord, we bind the spirit of violence, deception, and alcoholism that has taken hold of this man. We break its power in the name of Jesus. Father, we ask that You would remove him far from her—so far that he cannot return to harm her. Place a divine restraining order upon him, Lord, and let Your angels encamp around our sister and her daughter. Give her wisdom, Father, to know what steps to take next. Open doors for her to find safety, whether through the help of authorities, the church, or Your supernatural provision.
We rebuke the enemy’s plans to steal, kill, and destroy in this situation. Satan, we command you to take your hands off this woman and her child in the name of Jesus. You have no authority here. Father, we ask that You would expose every lie and false accusation that has been made against her. Let the truth prevail, and let those in authority see clearly and act justly.
Lord, we also pray for this man’s soul. Though he has acted wickedly, we ask that You would convict him deeply of his sin. Bring him to repentance, Father, that he may turn from his evil ways and seek Your forgiveness. But until that day, we ask that You would render his hands powerless to harm, his feet unable to pursue evil, and his mouth silent in its curses. Let him be unable to carry out his threats, Lord. Frustrate his plans and confuse his steps until he is far removed from our sister’s life.
Father, we ask for Your peace to flood her heart. Replace her fear with faith, her despair with hope, and her weakness with Your strength. Remind her that she is not alone—that You are with her, and so are we, her brothers and sisters in Christ. Provide for her every need, Lord, whether financial, emotional, or spiritual. Surround her with Your love and the support of Your people.
We declare that this situation will not destroy her but will instead be a testimony of Your deliverance. You, Lord, are her shield and her exceedingly great reward (Genesis 15:1). We trust You to act swiftly and mightily on her behalf. In the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
