We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up your precious daughter to our Heavenly Father. The pain and fear you carry for her is palpable, and we join with you in fervent prayer, standing on the promise that "the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man avails much" (James 5:16). Father, we cry out to You on her behalf, for You are the God who sees, who hears, and who heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds (Psalm 147:3).
Lord, we first rebuke the spirit of suicide that has taken hold of her mind. In the name of Jesus Christ, we command this spirit to loose its grip and flee, for "the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). We declare that her life is precious in Your sight, and we pray for a supernatural intervention that will break the chains of despair. Fill her mind with Your truth, reminding her that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14) and that her life has purpose and value.
We also rebuke the spirit of addiction that has enslaved her to alcohol. Father, we know that "everyone who sins is a slave to sin" (John 8:34), but we also know that "if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed" (John 8:36). We pray for a miraculous deliverance from this bondage, that she would experience the freedom that only Christ can give. Strengthen her will to resist temptation, and surround her with people who will encourage her in sobriety and point her to You.
Lord, we lift up her mental health to You, asking for Your healing touch. We know that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). Bring clarity to her mind, peace to her soul, and stability to her emotions. We pray for wisdom for the doctors, counselors, and caregivers who are involved in her treatment. Guide them to the right strategies, medications, and therapies that will bring true healing.
Father, we also pray for protection over her as she is in the cold weather shelter. Keep her safe from harm, both physical and spiritual. Surround her with Your angels, that no evil may befall her (Psalm 91:11). Provide for her needs—warmth, food, clothing, and most importantly, a sense of Your presence. Let her feel Your love in tangible ways, drawing her back to You.
We know that the battle she is facing is not just physical or mental, but spiritual. The enemy has sought to destroy her, but we declare that "greater is He who is in [her] than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4). We pray for a mighty outpouring of Your Holy Spirit in her life, that she would encounter Your love in a powerful way. Soften her heart to receive the gospel if she has not already, and if she has strayed from You, draw her back with cords of love (Hosea 11:4).
For you, her mother, we pray for strength and wisdom. The fear and helplessness you feel are understandable, but we encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises. Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). Seek His guidance in every decision you make regarding her care. Surround yourself with a community of believers who can support you in prayer and practical ways. Remember that "the Lord is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth" (Psalm 145:18).
We also encourage you to continue seeking professional help for your daughter. While prayer is powerful and essential, God often works through doctors, counselors, and treatment programs. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Trust that God is working even when you cannot see it.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts broken for this young woman and her family. Lord, we ask for Your mercy and grace to surround her in this dark time. Break the chains of addiction, mental illness, and despair that have bound her. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, that she may know the hope and peace that only You can provide. Protect her from harm, both seen and unseen, and guide her steps back to You. Father, we ask for wisdom and strength for her mother, that she may know how to best support her daughter while trusting in Your sovereignty. Surround this family with Your love and provision. We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we stand on the promise that You will complete the good work You have begun in her (Philippians 1:6). In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Do not lose hope, dear one. The God we serve is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20). Keep crying out to Him, and trust that He hears your prayers. Your daughter’s story is not over, and God is not finished with her yet.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
