We join you in lifting up your loved one and her daughter before the Lord, and we share your concern for their safety in this difficult situation. The heart behind your request is a deep love for your family, and we stand with you in asking for God's protection and intervention.
Scripture reminds us that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble from Psalm 46:1, and that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty from Psalm 91:1. We take comfort that the name of Yahweh is a strong tower, the righteous run to it and are safe from Proverbs 18:10, and that He will give His angels charge over you to guard you in all your ways from Psalm 91:11. In times when we encounter darkness in another person, we remember that our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age from Ephesians 6:12, and we are called to have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness from Ephesians 5:11.
We also want to gently address the spiritual reality you mentioned, that this marriage is to someone who is not a Christian and who displays a very dark personality. God’s Word teaches us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity, or what fellowship has light with darkness from 2 Corinthians 6:14. Marriage is ordained by God as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, and it is meant to reflect Christ’s love for the church. When a believer is joined to an unbeliever, there can be deep spiritual conflict and hardship, and a dark or oppressive personality can bring fear and danger into the home. While we cannot undo the marriage covenant, we can pray earnestly for the Lord’s protection over your loved one and her daughter, for wisdom, for boundaries that honor God, and above all for the salvation of this husband, that the light of Christ would penetrate the darkness.
We also notice your request did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me from John 14:6, and there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved from Acts 4:12. If we confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart that God raised Him from the dead, we will be saved from Romans 10:9. It is in His name we pray with confidence, and we encourage you and your family to place your full trust in Him for safety and salvation.
We encourage you to continue to be a steady source of prayer and support, to encourage your loved one to seek wise and godly counsel from mature believers and pastors, and to help her seek help from trusted family and, if there is ever any threat of harm or abuse, from the proper authorities, for God has also ordained authorities for protection. Pray for discernment for her, that if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him from James 1:5.
We now pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up this dear mother and her daughter to Your throne of grace and ask for Your divine protection to surround them. Cover them under Your wings, keep them safe from all harm, from all evil intent, and from the influence of darkness. Let Your peace that surpasses all understanding guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. We ask that You give this mother wisdom and courage to make decisions that honor You and protect her child, and give her a clear path to safety and support. Lord, we also lift up her husband to You. You see the darkness in his heart, and nothing is hidden from You. We pray that You would convict him, draw him to Yourself, and bring him to repentance and faith in Jesus, that he may be transformed from darkness to light. Let Your will be done in this family, and let Your name be glorified. We ask that You provide a community of believers around these two precious ones to uphold them, encourage them, and help them walk in Your truth. We trust You as our refuge and deliverer, and we pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and salvation. Amen.

We hear how heavy this worry is for you, carrying concern for your loved one and her daughter while feeling far from being able to step in. Loving someone in a difficult marriage can leave you feeling watchful and helpless at the same time, and we want you to know we are standing with you in prayer.
One of the most caring things you can do is stay a steady, safe presence for them. Keeping regular, gentle contact, just checking in and listening without pressure, helps them know they are not alone and have someone to turn to. It can also help to quietly encourage them to have a few trusted people nearby, whether family, a pastor, or a counselor, and to know where to turn locally if they ever feel unsafe. If you ever sense immediate danger for them, please encourage them to reach local emergency services right away, and stay connected to support yourself as you carry this burden. You do not have to figure out every next step alone.
We are praying for you and for them.
Father, we lift this mother and her daughter to You and ask for Your protection over them. Surround them with safety and with people who will notice and care for them well. Give our sister wisdom to know how to love them with both grace and discernment, peace as she trusts them to Your hands, and guidance for any steps she should take. Lead this family toward what is good and safe, and draw each heart closer to You. In Jesus' name, amen.

Spurgeon
Beloved of All
Your burden has been laid before us and we have carried it to the throne of grace with much tenderness of heart. We do pray for the safety of your loved one and her dear child, and we entreat the Lord to set His watch about them and keep them from all harm.
We cannot speak of this marriage without sorrow, for the Word of the Lord is plain, Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers. When the yoke of Christ is rejected, the yoke that is chosen in its place is often found to be heavy and bitter. We have seen it, that when a marriage is not in the Lord, happiness is wounded and peace is driven far away. Yet though the choice was not according to the precept of Scripture, we do not cease to pray for mercy upon all who are now within its bonds.
You ask for safety, and well you do, for we are all in danger, not only the weak but the strong. We constantly need to cry to God to keep us from falling, remembering what a dreadful thing it would be to fall. Our safety lies not in our own strength but in our Savior. Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling be all glory given. He is as wise as He is able, and there is no adversary too subtle or too dark for Him to restrain. His throne is established in righteousness, and sooner might that throne fail than one of His redeemed should perish without His leave.
Remember also that he who travels on the Kings Highway is under the Kings protection. The way of principle is the way of safety, and the way of consecrated prayer is a safe way. Gods angels will keep His people in all their ways when they keep in His ways. We pray that your loved ones may be kept close to Christ, abiding in prayer, in the reading of the Word, and in all holy obedience, for there the protection is perpetual as well as personal.
Let us pray together. O only wise God our Savior, Thou alone art able to keep from falling. Look in compassion upon this mother and her child. Cover them under the shadow of Thy wings. Keep their bodies from violence and their souls from fear. Hedge them about with Thy providence and let no dark design prosper against them. Grant wisdom to know the right path and courage to walk therein. And, O Lord, have mercy upon the unbelieving husband, that he may yet be brought to see the wounds and blood of the Lamb, for there is salvation in no other, and it is as the Lamb that sinners first learn to love Thee. Turn his heart, we beseech Thee, by Thy Spirit, that he may be born anew and become a new creature in Christ Jesus. Bring this household, if it be Thy will, to walk worthily as those who are indeed Thy children. Hear us for Jesus sake, in whose name alone we plead. Amen.
