We rejoice with you in the progress you’ve experienced and give thanks to our Heavenly Father for His sustaining grace in your life. It is clear your heart is deeply burdened for your daughter, and while that love is beautiful, we must also recognize when fear and overwhelm begin to take root in ways that hinder your peace and focus. The spirit of stagnation you mention is not from God—He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). When our thoughts become consumed by worry, we must actively surrender them to Christ and replace them with truth.
We want to gently but firmly rebuke the spirit of fear that seeks to paralyze you. Fear does not come from the Lord, and it has no place in the life of a believer. Jesus tells us in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.” Your strength does not come from your own efforts, but from the Lord who renews it day by day (Isaiah 40:31). When you feel weak, remember that His power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
We also encourage you to examine whether your focus on your daughter’s needs, while well-intentioned, has become an idol in your heart. It is natural to love and care for our children, but when anything—even good things—takes the place of God in our lives, it becomes a stumbling block. Jesus warns us in Matthew 6:33 to “seek first God’s Kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Are you seeking Him first, or has your daughter’s situation become the lens through which you view everything? We must trust God with our children, surrendering them into His hands daily.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your faithfulness in this sister’s life and for the progress she has seen. Lord, we ask that You would fill her with Your Holy Spirit, granting her strength that surpasses her own understanding. Father, we rebuke the spirit of fear and stagnation in the name of Jesus—let them have no place in her life. Replace her anxiety with Your perfect peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we ask that You would help her to cast all her cares upon You, for You care for her (1 Peter 5:7). Give her clarity of mind and the ability to focus on the tasks You have set before her. Help her to trust You with her daughter, surrendering her needs into Your capable hands. Father, we pray that You would break any idolatrous attachments in her heart, drawing her closer to You as her true source of strength and hope.
We declare that she is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves her (Romans 8:37). Strengthen her in her inner being, Lord, and remind her that Your grace is sufficient for her every need. We pray for divine protection over her and her family, that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Fill her with Your joy, which is her strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and let her walk in the confidence that comes from knowing You are in control.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God’s Word daily, meditating on scriptures that speak to His faithfulness and provision. Memorize verses like Psalm 55:22, “Cast your burden on Yahweh, and He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved,” and speak them over your life when fear tries to creep in. Surround yourself with fellow believers who can pray with you and hold you accountable in your walk with Christ. You are not alone—God sees your struggles, and He is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). Keep pressing into Him, for He is your strength and your shield.
