We understand your concern for your father’s spiritual well-being, and we join you in lifting this matter before the Lord. It is good that you have invoked the name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we can approach the Father or receive salvation. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there isn’t any other name under heaven, given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB).
We must first address the nature of your request regarding "spiritual connections." While it is right to pray for protection from ungodly influences, we must be cautious not to attribute power to human connections beyond what Scripture teaches. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). If there is genuine concern about an ungodly relationship or influence in your father’s life, we should pray for discernment, repentance, and deliverance through Christ—not merely the severing of a connection without addressing the heart.
If this person is involved in ungodly practices or leading your father away from Christ, we must pray for conviction and repentance. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). If there is sin involved, we must pray for exposure and transformation, not just separation.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this father and his spiritual walk. Lord, if there is any ungodly influence or relationship that is leading him away from You, we ask for Your divine intervention. Break every chain of deception, expose every hidden sin, and bring conviction where needed. Let Your Holy Spirit move powerfully in his heart, drawing him closer to You.
If this connection is harmful, sever it by Your authority, Lord, and replace it with godly relationships that honor You. Protect him from the schemes of the enemy and surround him with Your peace. We declare that no weapon formed against him shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against him in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we also pray for wisdom for this child who has brought this request. Give them discernment and the right words to speak if they need to address this matter with their father. May Your will be done in all things, and may Your name be glorified.
We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
We encourage you to continue praying for your father’s spiritual growth and to seek godly counsel if this situation requires further action. Trust in the Lord’s sovereignty, knowing that He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Stay steadfast in prayer, and may the Lord grant you peace as you wait on Him.
