Sister and niece

We lift up your sister and niece before the Lord, knowing that He is their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. The situation you describe is deeply concerning, as a narcissistic and ungodly influence in a home can lead to spiritual, emotional, and even physical harm. We must first address the spiritual foundation of this matter, for the Word of God tells us in Ephesians 5:22-33 that a husband is to love his wife as Christ loved the church—sacrificially, selflessly, and with a heart of service. When a man fails to lead his family in godliness, he is not only dishonoring his wife but also rebelling against God’s design for marriage.
The behavior you describe—leading the family incorrectly and in dangerous ways—is not just a personal failing but a spiritual stronghold that must be broken. We must pray for conviction in this man’s heart, that the Holy Spirit would pierce his conscience and bring him to repentance. Proverbs 16:18 warns, *"Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall."* Narcissism is rooted in pride, and pride is an abomination to the Lord (Proverbs 16:5). We must pray that God would humble this man and turn his heart toward righteousness, for the sake of his wife and child.
At the same time, we urge your sister to seek wisdom and protection. If there is abuse—whether emotional, spiritual, or physical—she must take steps to ensure her safety and that of her daughter. The Bible does not call women to endure abuse in silence. In 1 Corinthians 7:15, we read, *"Yet if the unbeliever departs, let there be separation. The brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us in peace."* While divorce is not to be taken lightly, neither is the safety of a mother and child. If this man is unrepentant and his actions are placing them in danger, separation may be a necessary step for their protection. We pray that God would give your sister discernment, courage, and the support of wise, godly counsel—whether from a pastor, a biblical counselor, or trusted believers who can walk alongside her.
We also pray for your niece, that the Lord would shield her heart and mind from the damage of this ungodly influence. Children are deeply affected by the dynamics in their home, and we ask that God would surround her with His peace and raise up godly mentors in her life. Proverbs 22:6 instructs us to *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."* May the Lord provide godly influences to counter the harmful example being set in her home.
Finally, we must address the power of prayer in the name of Jesus. You did not invoke His name in your request, and we gently remind you that it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* There is no other name by which we are saved, and there is no other name with the authority to break strongholds. We encourage you to always approach the throne of grace in the name of Jesus, for He is our mediator and our hope.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this sister, her niece, and the broken dynamics in their home. Lord, You see the pain, the danger, and the spiritual warfare at play here. We ask that You would intervene mightily. Convict the heart of this man—break his pride, expose his sin, and bring him to true repentance. Soften his heart, Lord, and turn him from his wicked ways. If he will not repent, we ask that You would protect Your daughters from his influence and provide a way of escape.
Father, we pray for wisdom and strength for our sister’s sister. Give her clarity, Lord, and surround her with godly counsel. If separation is necessary for her safety and that of her child, make the path clear and provide for their every need. Let her not walk in fear but in the confidence that You are her defender. Shield her heart from bitterness and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we lift up this precious niece to You. Protect her mind, her heart, and her spirit from the damage of this ungodly environment. Raise up godly mentors in her life—people who will speak Your truth and model Your love. Let her know, even now, that she is seen, she is loved, and she is not forgotten by You.
We rebuke the spirit of narcissism, deception, and danger that has taken hold in this home. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these strongholds to be broken. We declare that no weapon formed against this family will prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we ask that You would bring restoration where there has been brokenness. If it is Your will, reconcile this marriage in a way that honors You—but only if this man turns from his sin and submits to Your lordship. If not, provide a godly path forward for these women, one that leads to healing, wholeness, and a future filled with hope.
We thank You, Lord, that You are a God who hears the cries of the afflicted. You are their strong tower, their refuge, and their deliverer. We trust You to act on their behalf, and we give You all the glory.
In the powerful and holy name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

We join you in lifting up your sister and niece before the Lord today. We know that He is their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. The situation you've described is indeed concerning, and we must trust that God is in control, even in the midst of chaos.
We pray for God's hand to be upon your sister and niece, protecting them from harm and guiding their steps.

We claim the promise in Psalm 91:14-16, "Because he loves me," says the Lord, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. He will call on me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation." We trust that God is faithful to His promises and that He will indeed rescue, protect, and deliver your loved ones.
We pray all these things in Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

We want to thank you for trusting us with this deeply personal prayer request for your sister and niece, and we’ve been lifting them up before the Lord with earnest hearts these past days. The spiritual and emotional battles they face in that home are real, and we know how heavy it must weigh on you to see them caught in such turmoil. Our prayers have been steadfast—that God would place a hedge of protection around them, that He would break the chains of manipulation and deception, and that His truth would flood their hearts with clarity and courage.
We’re praying too for supernatural wisdom for your sister, that the Lord would give her discernment to recognize the dangers and the strength to make godly choices for herself and her daughter. May the Holy Spirit move mightily in their lives, drawing them closer to Jesus and away from the harm that surrounds them. And we haven’t forgotten you—we’ve asked the Lord to fill you with His peace as you intercede for them, knowing that He hears and He acts on behalf of His children.
If the Lord has begun to work in this situation—whether through small steps of safety, moments of conviction in her husband’s heart, or your sister finding new resolve—we’d love for you to share a praise report with us. Even the smallest answer is worth celebrating as evidence of God’s faithfulness. But if the struggle continues, or if new challenges have arisen, please don’t hesitate to post an update so we can keep standing with you in prayer. This is a long-term battle, and we’re committed to walking it with you for as long as it takes.
May the Lord surround all three of you with His presence, reminding you that He is near to the brokenhearted and a refuge in every storm. We’re believing for His redemption and restoration in this family, and we won’t stop crying out to Him on their behalf.
In Jesus’ name.
