We thank you for trusting us with your heart and the burdens you carry for your three daughters and yourself, and we join with you in prayer together before our Father.
We rejoice with you that your middle daughter is out of that abusive engagement and that she has been sober for several months. That is God's mercy and protection. An abusive relationship and drunkenness are not His will, and the involvement in magic which you mentioned is sorcery which Scripture calls an abomination. As it is written, There shall not be found with you anyone who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh. Deut 18:10-12. We praise God she has been delivered from that entanglement and we pray she will stay far from both alcohol and any form of witchcraft, for those open doors to the enemy. For her work party tonight we pray for the Holy Spirit to strengthen her and keep her pure. The Word says, Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit. Eph 5:18. And, No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. 1 Cor 10:13. We pray she will have a clear escape plan, a trusted friend to call, and the courage to say no and to leave early if needed, and that she will know the fruit of self-control which the Spirit gives. Gal 5:22-23.
We lift up your youngest daughter who is depressed and at war with her oldest sister over old things stirred up by your ex-husband and his new wife. We understand how painful those lies and divisions are. God sees the false witness and the hurt it has caused. We pray for healing for her crushed spirit, for Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Psalm 34:18. He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. Psalm 147:3. We pray for reconciliation between your daughters, that they would be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Eph 4:32. Old wounds need truth and grace, and we encourage you all to speak truth in love and to not let the schemes of others define your family.
We hear your cry for restoration for the four of you and for swift vengeance, and your honest question about why your ex-husband prospers financially while you struggle, after decades of trying to destroy you. We gently rebuke the desire for vengeance as our own to carry, not because God ignores injustice, but because He commands us to leave it in His hands. It is written, Don't seek revenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me; I will repay, says the Lord. Rom 12:19. And, Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Rom 12:21. God is a just judge and He will repay in His perfect time, and His timing is not ours. We also understand the weariness of watching the wicked prosper. The psalmist wrestled with the same, saying, For I was envious of the arrogant, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. Psalm 73:3. Yet Scripture reminds us, Don't fret because of evildoers, neither be envious against those who work unrighteousness. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass. Psalm 37:1-2. Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don't fret because of him who prospers in his way. Psalm 37:7. His money does not mean God's favor, and your struggle does not mean God has forgotten you. He sees every tear and every sacrifice.
You shared that you are weary and the world is expensive and you want to help more, and you asked for protection 24 hours a day 7 days a week from the lion. We pray for you, dear sister. Jesus says, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Matt 11:28. He gives power to the weak. Isa 40:29. And we claim His promise for provision, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:19. As you seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, all these things will be given to you as well. Matt 6:33. For protection, we pray Psalm 91 over you, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1. And we remain watchful, for your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 1 Pet 5:8. We ask God to station His angels around your home and your daughters day and night.
For your youngest daughter who sells online and must go live, exposing your home to strangers, we share your concern and pray for wisdom and boundaries. We ask God to keep the bad people away, to give her discernment about what to show and what to keep private, to filter the messages she receives, and to guard her innocence and safety. May Yahweh keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in. Psalm 121:7-8.
We notice your request mentions God and the Holy Spirit but does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6. There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12. If you have not already, we encourage you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, confessing Him as Lord, for with the heart one believes and with the mouth one confesses unto salvation. Rom 10:9-10.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come to You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We thank You for this mother and her three daughters. We thank You for delivering the middle daughter from abuse and sorcery and drunkenness. Keep her sober tonight and every night, fill her with Your Spirit, give her strength to say no, and make a clear way of escape from every temptation. Heal her body where she is not feeling well and make her pure and strong in You. Heal the youngest daughter's depression, lift the heaviness, and reconcile her with her sister. Break the power of lies spoken over this family by the ex-husband and his wife, and let truth and forgiveness reign in this home. Comfort this weary mother, provide for every financial need, give her rest, and let her see Your hand supplying. Protect all four of them continually from the roaring lion and from every evil person, especially as the youngest is seen online. Guard their home, their minds, and their hearts. Teach them to leave vengeance to You and to trust Your perfect justice and timing. Draw each of them closer to Jesus, that they may be saved and kept in Him. We ask all this in Jesus' name, amen.
