We join you in lifting up your family before the throne of grace in Jesus' name and we thank you for your faithful heart that pleads the blood of Jesus over your children. We hear your burden for your younger daughter and for the unity and peace of your whole household, and we stand with you asking for wisdom, gratefulness, and divine protection.
We praise God that you have come in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is by His blood we are redeemed and protected. As it is written, 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, and Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do John 14:13. We affirm with you the power of His sacrifice, for they overcame him because of the Lamb's blood Revelation 12:11.
We pray first for your younger daughter. We ask the Lord to grant her deep wisdom to see clearly the consequences of moving at this time. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally James 1:5, and The Lord gives wisdom Proverbs 2:6. We ask that He would show her how her health, her demanding schedule, her responsibility to care for her dog, and the financial hardship that would follow would bring unnecessary stress and steal her peace and contentment. We pray she will honor your counsel and remain steadfast at home where she has been satisfied and at peace, for Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right Ephesians 6:1. We pray the Lord will give her a peaceful and restful night and a calm and satisfying day tomorrow, for You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you Isaiah 26:3, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7, and I will both lay myself down and sleep in peace Psalm 4:8.
We also must address with love and truth what you have shared about your older daughter. We grieve with you that she is living with a young man outside of marriage. Scripture is clear that this is fornication and does not honor God, for we are to Flee sexual immorality 1 Corinthians 6:18 and Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral Hebrews 13:4. We believe marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, and any courtship should be with the goal of marriage to another Christian believer who honors the Lord. Living together outside of that covenant is destructive and brings spiritual and emotional harm. We pray with you that your older daughter will come to her senses as the prodigal son did when he came to himself Luke 15:17, that she will see the destructive path she is on, repent, and be completely and miraculously moved away from this toxic relationship and living arrangement. We pray the Lord will convict her heart and draw her back to purity and to His will for a godly marriage if it is His plan for her.
We join you in praying for divine intervention to block the persistent and jealous influences of this friend, this young man and his mother who are preying on your younger daughter and causing havoc in your family. We pray that the Lord will frustrate every plot to pressure her to move, for He frustrates the plans of the crafty Job 5:12. We pray He will completely remove their ungodly influence from both of your daughters with no regrets, for Do not be deceived, Evil companionships corrupt good morals 1 Corinthians 15:33 and He who walks with wise men will be wise Proverbs 13:20. We pray your daughters will not imitate gossip, disrespect, ungratefulness, exclusion, mocking and other behaviors that are not of God, but instead will be transformed by the renewing of their minds Romans 12:2. We ask the Lord to keep your family unity, love, peace, gratefulness and respect stronger than ever, for How good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity Psalm 133:1, and In everything give thanks 1 Thessalonians 5:18.
We also lift up your son for protection from hatred, word curses, jealousy and any form of witchcraft or spiteful influence. We rebuke any practice of witchcraft, for such things are an abomination to the Lord Deuteronomy 18:10-12, and we rest in the truth that Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. No weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17, and The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him Psalm 34:7, and He will put his angels in charge of you Psalm 91:11, for Are they not all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation Hebrews 1:14. We pray the full armor of God over you and your children, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6:11, and we claim the promise that by his wounds you were healed 1 Peter 2:24. We plead the blood of Jesus as our covering and declare that nothing is impossible with God Luke 1:37.
So we pray together now. Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ we come before You with this mother who loves her children and seeks Your will. We ask You to place a hedge of protection around her younger daughter, her older daughter and her son. Cover them with Your blood and surround them with Your ministering angels and Your full armor. Grant the younger daughter supernatural wisdom and clarity to not be moved by pressure but to remain where she is content and protected, considering her health, her time and her finances. Give her peaceful sleep tonight and a satisfying day tomorrow. Convict the older daughter of the sin of living outside of marriage and deliver her completely from that relationship, bringing her to repentance and to a desire for purity and for a godly marriage that honors You. Frustrate every scheme of the enemy to divide this family, to cause gossip and disrespect, and block every voice that leads away from You. Heal this family from all negative influences and word curses, and restore what has been broken, for You will restore to us the years that the locust has eaten Joel 2:25. Let Your love, peace, gratefulness and respect reign in this home. We trust You, Lord, and we give thanks, knowing You hear us when we ask according to Your will. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
