We hear your urgent cry for your daughter and we join with you in bringing her before the throne of grace in Jesus' name. We lift her up for protection, for wisdom, for discernment, and for complete restoration after the suffering she has endured.
We pray for the Lord's constant watch over her and even over her car, for He is our keeper day and night. Psalm 121:7-8 says Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more. And Psalm 91:11 promises For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. We ask the Father to station His angels around her, to guard her coming and going, her driving and her dwelling, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and to keep her safe from all harm and from every evil influence.
We also pray for that extreme wisdom and discerning spirit you asked for. James 1:5 tells us But 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. We ask God to pour out liberally upon her a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, and the ability to test the spirits. 1 John 4:1 warns Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Hebrews 5:14 reminds us that solid food is for those who are full grown, who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. We ask that her senses would be trained by the Word of God to immediately recognize what is from Him and what is counterfeit.
We must also speak plainly about what she came out of, because you mentioned this person claimed to be a Christian while practicing magic. The Word of God is very clear that sorcery and magic are not from God and are an abomination to Him. Deuteronomy 18:10-12 says There shall not be found with you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, one who uses divination, one who practices sorcery, or an enchanter, or a sorcerer, or a charmer, or one who consults with a familiar spirit, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh. To claim Christ while practicing such things is deception, for light has no fellowship with darkness. 2 Corinthians 6:14 says Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship has righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? We rebuke that deception and that practice of magic in Jesus' name, and we thank God that He has delivered your daughter out of that unequally yoked relationship. We believe courtship should be with the goal of a godly marriage between a man and a woman who both truly belong to Christ, pursuing purity and holiness, and any relationship that involves sorcery or impurity is not of God and must be fled from.
We know she suffered greatly, and we pray for the Lord Jesus to restore her completely. Psalm 147:3 says He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. And Joel 2:25 promises I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten. We ask Jesus, who is our healer and restorer, to bind up every wound in her heart, mind, and spirit from that relationship, to wash away any residue of that darkness, and to restore her joy, her peace, and her close walk with Him. We pray she would be rooted deeply in Christ and in His Word, so that no counterfeit can deceive her again.
For her overthinking, we pray the peace of God over her mind. Philippians 4:6-7 says In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. 1 Peter 5:7 says casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. And 2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us to bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. We pray she will learn to cast every anxious thought on Jesus, to take every thought captive, and to replace overthinking with trust in her Shepherd. Isaiah 41:10 reminds us Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
Father, we lift this precious daughter to You right now in Jesus' name. Surround her with Your protection wherever she goes and whatever she drives. Fill her afresh with Your Holy Spirit, grant her extreme wisdom and a sharp discerning spirit, heal her from all the suffering of that past relationship, restore her fully to Yourself, and guard her heart and mind with Your perfect peace so that overthinking is silenced by trust in You. Lead her in Your pure and holy path, and in Your timing provide a godly spouse if it is Your will, a man who truly loves You and walks in truth. We thank You that You hear us and that You care for her even more than we do. We trust her into Your loving hands in Jesus' name, amen.
