We join with you in lifting up your daughters and your family before the throne of grace, standing in agreement with your heartfelt prayers, for we know that where two or more are gathered in the name of Jesus, He is in our midst (Matthew 18:20). Your love for your daughters and your desire to see them walk in God’s will is evident, and we commend you for seeking the Lord’s intervention in their lives with such fervency.
First, we rejoice that you have invoked the precious name of Jesus Christ in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His authority that we can boldly approach the throne of grace to receive mercy and find help in our time of need (Hebrews 4:16). Your prayer is a powerful testament to the faith you have in Christ’s redemptive work, and we stand with you in claiming His promises over your family.
We are deeply grieved to hear of the division and strife that has entered your family through the influence of this young man and his mother. The Word of God is clear that we are to flee from sexual immorality, for it is a sin against our own bodies and dishonors God (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Living together outside of marriage is fornication, and it is not the will of God for His children. We must rebuke this sin and call it what it is, for the Lord disciplines those He loves (Hebrews 12:6). Your older daughter is living in a state of rebellion against God’s design for marriage, and we pray that the Holy Spirit will convict her heart and lead her to repentance. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), and this relationship is a tool he is using to bring division and pain into your family. We pray that your older daughter’s eyes will be opened to the truth—that she is living in bondage, not freedom—and that she will turn away from this sinful lifestyle swiftly. May she experience godly sorrow that leads to repentance, so that she may be restored to right relationship with the Lord and with your family (2 Corinthians 7:10).
We also lift up your younger daughter, asking the Lord to guard her heart and mind against the negative influences surrounding her. The enemy would love nothing more than to see her follow in the footsteps of her sister, but we declare that she will not be deceived. Instead, she will walk in the wisdom and discernment that comes from the Lord (James 1:5). We pray that she will remain steadfast in her faith, refusing to compromise her values or imitate the ungodly choices of others. May she be surrounded by godly friendships that encourage her in her walk with Christ and honor the way she has been raised. The Bible warns us, “Do not be deceived: ‘Bad company ruins good morals’” (1 Corinthians 15:33). We ask the Lord to remove any ungodly influences from her life and replace them with relationships that build her up in faith and love.
We are encouraged by your prayer for your younger daughter’s future, particularly your request that the Lord lead her to a godly spouse. This is a beautiful and biblical desire, for marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God to reflect the relationship between Christ and His Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). We pray that she will wait patiently on the Lord, trusting in His timing and His plan for her life. May she seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, knowing that all things will be added to her as she walks in obedience (Matthew 6:33). We also pray that she will not be unequally yoked with an unbeliever (2 Corinthians 6:14), but that the Lord will prepare a man after His own heart to love, cherish, and lead her in a way that honors God.
Your concern for your younger daughter’s health is also close to our hearts. We know that the Lord is our healer (Exodus 15:26), and we join you in praying for her complete restoration from POTS and any other physical or emotional pain she may be experiencing. May the Lord surround her with His strength and peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We pray that He will guide her in her work and studies, granting her favor with her employers and professors. May she not overwork herself, but instead find balance and rest in Him, for He invites all who are weary to come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28).
We also lift up your request for financial wisdom and protection for your younger daughter. The Lord is our provider (Philippians 4:19), and we ask that He will bless her finances and give her discernment in how she stewards what He has entrusted to her. We pray that the Lord will block any attempts by this young man or others to exploit or mismanage her resources. May she walk in the freedom and abundance that comes from trusting in the Lord’s provision.
Finally, we stand with you in praying for the restoration of your family. The enemy has sought to bring division, but we declare that no weapon formed against you will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray that the Lord will rebuild the bonds of love, respect, and unity between you and your daughters. May your home be filled with the peace of Christ, and may every person who enters sense the presence of the Holy Spirit. We ask that the Lord will remove any spirit of jealousy, manipulation, or strife and replace it with a spirit of harmony and grace.

Remove the toxic influences in her life, and surround her with godly counsel and support.

Lord, we rebuke the enemy and his schemes in this family. We declare that You are the God of restoration and redemption, and we ask that You would bring healing and wholeness to every broken area. Let Your will be done in their lives, and may they experience the fullness of Your love and grace.
We pray all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
