We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt cries to our Heavenly Father, who hears the prayers of His children and acts on their behalf. Your love for your daughter and your desire to walk in God’s will are evident, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that our Lord is faithful to protect, provide, and guide those who trust in Him. You have invoked the name of Jesus, and it is by His mighty name alone that we have authority to pray and see breakthrough. As Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is through Christ that we find refuge, justice, and the power to overcome every scheme of the enemy.
Your situation reflects the spiritual battle many parents face when co-parenting with someone who may not share the same values or intentions. The Bible reminds us that *"we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places"* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). Your ex’s manipulation and lies are not just personal attacks—they are tools of the enemy to bring division, fear, and harm. But take heart, for *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). God is exposing every hidden thing, and His truth will prevail. *"For nothing is hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light"* (Mark 4:22, WEB).
We also encourage you to examine your own heart in this season. While it is right to pray for your ex’s heart to be softened, Scripture calls us to a higher standard: *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This does not mean tolerating abuse or injustice, but it does mean releasing bitterness and trusting God to fight your battles. *"Don’t say, ‘I will pay back evil.’ Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you"* (Proverbs 20:22, WEB). Your prayers for his heart to change are good, but also ask God to help you forgive and walk in love, even as you seek justice. This is not for your ex’s sake alone, but for your own freedom and your daughter’s well-being. Unforgiveness can become a stronghold that hinders your prayers and peace.
As for your daughter, we declare God’s protection over her and your bond with her. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but Jesus has come to give life abundantly. *"All your children will be taught by Yahweh, and your children’s peace will be great"* (Isaiah 54:13, WEB). Trust that God is writing a story of redemption for both of you, and He will not allow your daughter to be separated from you if it is not His will. However, we must also submit to His sovereignty. If legal battles arise, seek godly counsel and wisdom, and remember that *"the king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the water courses. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1, WEB). God can turn the hearts of judges, mediators, and all involved to favor what is right and just.
We also notice your prayer for "safe spaces" and for people to believe you. While it is natural to desire validation and safety, we must ultimately place our trust in God alone, not in the opinions or actions of others. *"It is better to take refuge in Yahweh than to put confidence in man"* (Psalm 118:8, WEB). If you are walking in integrity, God will vindicate you in His timing. *"He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noon day sun"* (Psalm 37:6, WEB). Do not fear the lies of your ex, for *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me," says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
Regarding your request for prosperity and productivity, remember that God’s definition of prosperity may differ from the world’s. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Align your desires with His will, and trust that He will provide what you *need*—not always what you *want*. Be diligent in your work, but also rest in His promise: *"I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread"* (Psalm 37:25, WEB).
Lastly, your prayer for Jesus to "take the wheel" is a beautiful surrender. True peace comes when we relinquish control and allow Him to lead. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). As you seek His guidance, be attentive to the Holy Spirit’s voice, whether through Scripture, godly counsel, or the quiet whisper in your heart. *"Whether you turn to the right hand or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way. Walk in it’"* (Isaiah 30:21, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her precious daughter. Lord, You are a God of justice, love, and protection, and we ask that You surround them with Your heavenly angels, encamping around them as a divine shield (Psalm 34:7). Expose every lie, every manipulation, and every hidden agenda of the enemy. Let the truth prevail, O God, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Softens the heart of her ex, Lord, and convict him of the harm his actions are causing. Break the spirit of contention and replace it with a spirit of cooperation and repentance. If it is Your will, turn his heart away from legal battles and toward what is best for his daughter.
Father, we ask for Your wisdom to fill our sister as she makes decisions. Guide her steps, Lord, and let her walk in Your righteousness. Give her discernment to recognize those You send to bless her and her daughter, and protect her from those who would bring harm. Let her home be a sanctuary of Your peace, and let every space she and her daughter enter be covered by the blood of Jesus.
We pray for provision—spiritual, emotional, and physical. Meet every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Grant her productivity that honors You, and let her work be a testimony of Your faithfulness. Father, we ask that You write a story of redemption over her life and her daughter’s life. Let their bond be unbreakable, rooted in Your love. If there are areas where our sister needs to grow in forgiveness or trust, reveal them to her, Lord, and give her the grace to obey.
We declare that she is a good mother, and we ask that her intentions and actions be made clear to all who have authority over her situation. Let the records show Your favor, Lord, and let no injustice prevail. We rebuked every spirit of fear, anxiety, and doubt in Jesus’ name. Fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and let her rest in the knowledge that You are fighting for her.
Finally, Father, we thank You that You have taken the wheel. Lead her in the paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake. Let her life and her daughter’s life bring You glory. We ask all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, sister. God is moving on your behalf, even when you cannot see it. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep walking in obedience. *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). He has not forgotten you. *"Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved"* (Psalm 55:22, WEB). Stay in His Word, stay in prayer, and surround yourself with a community of believers who can support and encourage you. You are not alone in this battle. We are standing with you.
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.
