We hear the deep burden in your heart for this person who claims the name of Christ yet walks in a way that does not reflect true repentance or surrender to Him. Your cry for genuine transformation is one we share, for nothing is more tragic than a life that bears the label of Christianity without the fruit of it. The Scriptures warn us plainly that not everyone who says, *"Lord, Lord,"* will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only those who do the will of the Father (Matthew 7:21, WEB). A faith that does not produce repentance, humility, and obedience is not faith at all—it is deception, and the stakes are eternal.
You have rightly identified the danger of a heart that loves the world more than Christ, that seeks comfort in wealth or status rather than brokenness before God. Jesus Himself said, *"No one can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one and love the other; or else he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You can’t serve both God and money"* (Matthew 6:24, WEB). And yet, how many today wear the name of Christian while their lives are devoted to the very things that moth and rust destroy? How many sit in churches week after week, hearing the Word but never allowing it to pierce their hearts, never turning from sin in true repentance? This is not Christianity—it is a deadly counterfeit.
You also referenced the sobering words of Jesus in Matthew 18:9 (WEB): *"If your eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into the fire of hell."* These words are not a call to physical self-harm but a radical metaphor for the urgency of dealing with sin. If something in our lives—whether it be greed, pride, sexual immorality, or love of the world—is leading us toward destruction, we must cut it off without hesitation. There is no sin worth eternal separation from God. And yet, how many who call themselves Christians cling to their sin, excusing it, hiding it, or even flaunting it, all while assuming they are safe because they "believe" or attend church? This is the height of self-deception.
We must also address the anger and frustration in your words, for while it is righteous to grieve over sin and false profession, we must be careful that our hearts do not become hardened or bitter. Our battle is not against flesh and blood but against the spiritual forces of darkness that blind minds and harden hearts (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). Our weapon is not condemnation but intercession, not anger but brokenhearted plea. We are called to speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15, WEB), praying that God would grant repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 2:25, WEB).
So let us pray together for this woman, that the Lord would do a mighty work in her heart. Let us ask Him to expose every hidden sin, to shatter every deception, and to bring her to a place of true brokenness before Him. Let us pray that she would no longer be comfortable in her pride but would fall on her face before a holy God, crying out for mercy. And let us pray that if she is indeed His, He would discipline her as a loving Father, for *"the Lord disciplines him whom he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives"* (Hebrews 12:6, WEB).

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with heavy hearts, lifting up this woman who claims Your name yet walks in a way that does not honor You. Lord, You know her heart far better than we do. You see the motives, the hidden sins, the areas where she has resisted Your Spirit. Father, we ask that You would no longer allow her to be deceived. Strip away every false security, every excuse, every layer of self-righteousness that keeps her from seeing her true condition before You.
Lord Jesus, You warned that many would come to You in that day, saying, *"Lord, Lord,"* yet You would declare, *"I never knew you."* Father, if this woman is not truly Yours, we pray that You would convict her deeply of her need for salvation. Let her see that church attendance, empty words, or outward morality are not enough—only a heart transformed by Your grace, only a life surrendered to You as Lord, will stand on the day of judgment. If she has never truly repented and believed, let today be the day she falls before You in brokenness, crying out for mercy.
And if she is Your child, Father, then we ask that You would discipline her in love. Do not let her remain comfortable in her sin. Expose the areas where she has compromised, where she has loved the world more than You, where she has allowed pride or greed to take root. Bring her to repentance, Lord—not a superficial sorrow, but a godly grief that leads to life (2 Corinthians 7:10, WEB). Let her turn from her sins with such urgency that her life begins to reflect Your holiness.
We pray against the spirit of deception that has blinded her. Lord, break the power of the enemy in her life. Let her see the emptiness of chasing after wealth, status, or the approval of man. Let her taste the bitterness of sin and the joy of true surrender to You. Fill her with a hunger for Your Word, a desire for prayer, and a love for Your people that cannot be satisfied by anything this world offers.
Father, we ask that You would surround her with godly influences—people who will speak the truth in love, who will not enable her sin but will call her to holiness. Raise up those who will pray for her, who will model genuine faith before her. And if she is in a church that has failed to preach the full counsel of Your Word, Lord, either reform that church or lead her to a place where she can hear the truth without compromise.
We also lift up the one who has brought this request before us. Guard their heart, Lord, from bitterness or judgment. Let their grief over this woman’s condition be a righteous grief, one that drives them to their knees in intercession rather than to anger or despair. Remind them that it is Your kindness that leads to repentance (Romans 2:4, WEB), and let them be an instrument of that kindness in this woman’s life.
Finally, Father, we ask that You would be glorified in this situation. Whether through repentance and restoration or through the exposure of a false profession, let Your name be honored. Let this woman’s life—one way or another—testify to Your holiness, Your justice, and Your mercy.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone can save and transform. Amen.
