We join you in lifting up this heartfelt cry to our Lord Jesus Christ, who alone is our Protector, Provider, and Perfect Guide. Your prayer reflects a deep trust in Him, and we stand with you in faith, knowing that He hears and answers those who call upon His name. It is beautiful to see you invoking the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and receive salvation, grace, and mercy. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in calling upon Jesus is a testament to your reliance on Him, and we rejoice in that.
Your love for your daughter is evident, and we know the Lord shares in your desire to protect and nurture her. The Bible reminds us that children are a heritage from the Lord (Psalm 127:3), and He entrusts them to us as a sacred responsibility. We pray that the Lord would surround her with His angels, as He has promised: *"For he will command his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways."* (Psalm 91:11, WEB). May He place a hedge of protection around both of you, shielding you from harm, deception, and the schemes of the enemy. We also pray that the Lord would give you wisdom and discernment as you navigate co-parenting with your ex. *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* (James 1:5, WEB). May the Lord soften hearts and bring peace where there is conflict, ensuring that no weapon formed against you prospers (Isaiah 54:17).
We also lift up your request for safety in every space you enter. May the Lord go before you, making crooked paths straight and closing doors that should not be opened. *"The Lord himself will go before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you. He will not forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged."* (Deuteronomy 31:8, WEB). As you interact with others, we pray that the Lord would give you favor, just as He did for Joseph in Egypt (Genesis 39:21). May your words be seasoned with grace, and may the Holy Spirit guide your conversations so that truth prevails. If there are those who seek to harm or manipulate, we rebuke their efforts in Jesus’ name and ask the Lord to expose their motives and render their plans powerless.
You’ve asked the Lord to "take the wheel," and this is a powerful surrender. When we yield our lives to Christ, He directs our steps and orders our paths. *"Trust in the Lord 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). We pray that the Lord would make His will clear to you, opening doors that align with His purpose and closing those that do not. May He send godly people into your life—those who will encourage you in faith, speak truth, and walk alongside you in this season. *"He who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."* (Proverbs 13:20, WEB). Ask the Holy Spirit to give you discernment to recognize those He has sent and to distance yourself from influences that do not honor Him.
Finally, your prayer to have Jesus "come into my life and stay forever" is the most precious request of all. If you have not already surrendered your life fully to Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Salvation is found in no one else, and it is by grace through faith in Jesus that we are saved (Ephesians 2:8-9). If you have already accepted Him, we pray that your relationship with Jesus would deepen daily, that you would abide in Him as He abides in you (John 15:4). May your life be a living testimony of His love, power, and faithfulness.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of our sister, lifting her and her precious daughter into Your loving hands. Lord Jesus, You are the Good Shepherd who watches over Your sheep, and we ask that You surround them with Your protection, peace, and provision. Guard their coming and going, and let no harm come near them. Father, we pray that You would thwart any plan of the enemy to separate this mother from her child. Bind every lying tongue and expose every hidden motive that seeks to bring harm. Give her wisdom, Lord, in every decision, and let Your favor rest upon her as she interacts with others. Open her eyes to see the people You have sent to bless and encourage her, and give her discernment to recognize those who do not walk in Your ways.
Lord, we pray for her ex, that You would soften his heart and turn his intentions toward what is right and just. Let Your peace rule in their communications, and may any legal or personal battles be resolved in a way that honors You and protects the bond between this mother and her daughter. Father, we ask that You would take the wheel of her life, as she has surrendered to You. Direct her steps, Lord, and make Your path clear. Remove any obstacles, and let Your will be done in her life and in the life of her daughter.
We thank You, Jesus, for the promise that You will never leave her nor forsake her. Fill her with Your Holy Spirit, that she may walk in confidence, knowing that You are her Defender, Provider, and Guide. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and let her life be a light that points others to You. We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
