[Cralmilan]

Lord I ask for Your special guidance, peace, satisfaction and favors with her studies and classes today. Lord anoint her work at the lab and school with Your blessings, favors and fulfillments. I pray that she would work efficiently and not over work her self. I pray for wisdom and clarity for her. I am concern a move at this time would burden her health, her busy schedule, her ability to care for her dog, and would bring financial hardship and stress. I pray that the Lord will grant her eyes to see this clearly and a heart to be content, gratefulness and steadfast where she has been blessed. I pray she will not be moved by pressure or persuasion. Lord I witness the negative influences that instigate her to move. Lord I ask that You guide her to not listen to negative influences and bless her with a grateful heart toward You, me, her siblings and the way she was brought up.

They are controlling older daughter finances and are taking her down a dark path. I pray Lord that You completely remove these people out of my children's life swiftly.

His son is not ready for a relationship, and exploiting our finances for his own benefit is unfair. Show this young man he is not my children's father, not their mentor, not their financial advisor, and teach my children to not be influenced by him anymore. Jesus, I beg that You intervene and remove this young man and his mother from my family. Break all ungodly relationships, have mercy on my older daughter, set her free from this relationship and completely restore her Godly habits, peace, freedom, joy, self worth and happiness. Lord rustrate every plot causing division and chaos. Saturate our home with Your peace, love, joy, fellowship, and unity. The kind that surpasses all understanding.

Fill her with Your wisdom, favor, peace, protection, and Holy Spirit. Jesus, saturate her with Your peace, love, satisfaction, favor and joy. Let her continue to be obedient toward me, let her continue to be grateful and thankful for her supportive family and our home. Lord, I ask that my older daughter will move back home swiftly. Restore my daughters' relationship with their brother with ### that was destroyed by this young man and his mother. Let them see him a blessing not burden. Jesus, I rebuke all spiritual attacks, all curses, witchcraft, division, isolation and anything not of You. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over me and my children. No weapon formed against us shall prosper. Surround us with Your ministry angels, hedge of protection, and full armor to shield us from all attacks. In Jesus' mighty name, I pray. Amen

 

[Articles]

We join you in lifting up your younger daughter, your son, your older daughter and your entire household before the throne of grace in Jesus name, and we thank you for pleading the precious blood of Jesus over your family.

We hear your heart for your younger daughter and we agree with you for her protection as she drives, for wisdom and clarity in her studies and lab work, and for favor and peace over her days. We pray she will work efficiently and not overwork herself, and that the Lord will guard her health as she manages POTS and a busy schedule while caring for her dog. The Lord promises wisdom to those who ask, for James 1:5 says 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 also claim Psalm 121:8 that the Lord will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forward and forevermore, and Psalm 91:11 that He will give His angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways.

We also hear your deep concern about pressure for her to move at this time. We agree that a move now would burden her health, her studies, her ability to care for her dog, and bring financial hardship and stress. We pray the Lord grants her eyes to see clearly and a heart to be content and grateful and steadfast where she has been blessed, and that she will not be moved by pressure or persuasion. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. We pray she will be rooted in that trust and not swayed by negative influences, and that she will honor you as her mother, for Ephesians 6:2-3 says honor your father and mother, which is the first commandment with a promise, that it may be well with you. We pray for a grateful heart toward the Lord, toward you, toward her siblings and toward the upbringing you have given her.

We must speak clearly about what you have shared concerning your older daughter and the young man she is living with. We believe marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman ordained by God, and that living together outside of marriage is not marriage and does not honor God. Scripture calls sex outside of marriage fornication and says in Hebrews 13:4 that marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers, and in 1 Corinthians 6:18 to flee sexual immorality. A boyfriend and girlfriend relationship should be a courtship with the goal of godly marriage to another Christian believer, not cohabitation, and 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. We pray your older daughter will see the isolation, control, dishonesty, manipulation, financial exploitation and disrespect you have described, and that she will have courage and wisdom to step out of this relationship swiftly and either pursue a holy marriage rightly or separate and be restored to her family, her faith, her purposeful work and her church family. We pray also that your younger daughter will never desire to imitate that lifestyle and that she will not be lured into moving into a two bedroom apartment with them, which would place her in a home that normalizes fornication and exposes her to further division, control and financial manipulation.

We also lift up the unhealthy friendship that leaves your younger daughter confused, down and uneasy, and the strange things happening around her that have made her unwell. The Word warns us in 1 Corinthians 15:33 that evil companionships corrupt good morals, and in Proverbs 13:20 that he who walks with wise men will be wise, but the companion of fools will suffer harm. We pray the Lord gives her discernment to stay away from that kind of friendship and surrounds her instead with godly pure friendships, perhaps from her classes, who will respect her and her upbringing, and in Proverbs 27:17 that as iron sharpens iron, so a man sharpens the countenance of his friend.

We join you in rebuking every spiritual attack, witchcraft, generational curse, word curse, division, isolation, jealousy, chaos, control, disrespect, confusion, frustration, anger and rage, and every scheme to corrupt and divide your family and to brainwash and exploit your children. We stand on Isaiah 54:17 that no weapon that is formed against you will prevail, and on Ephesians 6:11 that we put on the whole armor of God, that we may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. We plead the blood of Jesus over you and your children and ask the Lord to surround your home with His hedge of protection and ministering angels, to frustrate every plot that causes division and to saturate your home with His peace that surpasses all understanding as promised in Philippians 4:7. We pray 2 Timothy 1:7 over your household, for God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control, and we ask Him to remove all fear and to restore fellowship, respect, freedom, love and unity as Ephesians 4:3 calls us to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

We continue to pray for your son who has been so tormented these past days. We ask the Lord for no more setbacks but only healing, breakthrough and victory, for restoration of his peace of mind and for clarity in his functional language. We declare Psalm 103:3 that He forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, and Jeremiah 30:17 that He will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds, says the Lord. We command every spirit of torment and confusion to leave and never return in Jesus mighty name, for your son is a child of the Most High God.

We pray for complete healing for your younger daughter from POTS and all pain, and for an abundant measure of favor, success, blessing, protection, love, joy and satisfaction over her life always. We pray the Lord will guide her down His bright path in everything she does and everywhere she goes, and ease the rejection she feels when her sister puts this young man, his family and friends before her. We pray for your older daughters father figure and for the young mans father to intervene with truth and strength, and that the young man and his mother will be blocked from overstepping and disrespecting your childrens upbringing and from corrupting their future.

We thank the Lord that nothing is impossible for Him, for Jeremiah 32:27 says behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for me. We trust Him to restore the love between your children and their brother, to strengthen the bond between you and your daughters, and to make your relationship stronger and unbreakable, to permanently remove every negative influence and anything not of Him from your surroundings and to restore peace and calm in your home swiftly.

We pray together, Father in heaven, we thank You for this mother who intercedes with such love and persistence for her children. We ask in Jesus name that You cover the younger daughter with Your blood, with Your hedge of protection and full armor as she drives, studies and works in the lab. Anoint her work, grant her wisdom, clarity, efficiency and rest, heal her body completely from POTS and remove all pain, and fill her days and nights with Your favor, peace, joy, love and satisfaction. Give her a content and grateful heart, open her eyes to see that remaining where she is blessed is Your provision for this season, and give her strength to resist pressure, persuasion and brainwashing. Block every divisive, jealous, isolating and controlling influence from the young man, his mother and any others, frustrate their schemes, and restore her love for her brother and for her family. Surround her with godly friendships that sharpen her faith.

Lord, we lift the older daughter before You, have mercy on her, open her eyes to the isolation, control and financial exploitation she is under, convict her that living together outside of marriage is sin and not Your will, and give her courage, wisdom and knowledge to come out of this toxic relationship swiftly, to put You, her family and her purposeful work first, to speak truth and to be restored to freedom, self worth, joy and godly habits. Set her free and break every ungodly tie.

We lift the son before You, Lord, rebuke every spiritual attack, curse and witchcraft against him, restore his peace of mind, his language and his daily miracles, and let him dwell in Your breakthrough, protection and abundant blessing with no more setbacks. Saturate this home with Your Holy Spirit, remove division, isolation, resentment, chaos and disrespect, give everyone in the household strength, courage, wisdom, knowledge and understanding for every challenge, and let Your peace, love, joy and unity reign. We ask all this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ, for John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life, No one comes to the Father, except through me, and Acts 4:12 says 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. We give You all praise, honor and glory, and we trust You for healing, restoration and victory. Amen.

 

[hostadmin]

We hear how heavy this season feels for you, loving each of your children so deeply while trying to keep your home peaceful. The way you are watching over your younger daughter as she drives, studies and works in the lab, and wanting her to have wisdom and room to make her own decisions about where to live, shows such careful care. It is understandable to feel concerned when you see outside pressures and a pattern where time with certain friends leaves her feeling down and uneasy.

One small step that often helps in a pressured situation like this is to keep the conversation with your younger daughter open and unhurried. Letting her know you are proud of how she has managed school from home, that you trust her to weigh her health, schedule, finances and her responsibility for her dog, and that she can talk honestly without fear of disappointing you, can strengthen her ability to say no to what does not fit.

We also noticed you mentioned she lives with POTS and has not felt well. We encourage you to stay closely connected with her doctors for that, as you continue to pray for healing and strength.

For your son we join you in asking for relief and steadiness after these hard days, and for your older daughter we pray for safety and clarity.

Jesus, we bring this family to You. Cover this mother and her children with Your protection and peace. Give the younger daughter health, clear mind and favor in her studies, give the son rest tonight, and give each of them wisdom and unity in the days ahead. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your prayer has been laid before the Lord with much tenderness and we have heard the burden of a mother's heart for her children. There is a great ill, a broken heart, and there is a great Physician who healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds. He who has permitted this trial knows how to give a word in season and to calm the bosom that swells with grief.

We join you in pleading the precious blood of Christ over your younger daughter. We ask the Lord to keep His hand upon her as she drives, to be her hedge of protection and to cover her with the whole armor of God. We pray for wisdom and clarity for her studies and for her work in the lab, that she may labor efficiently and with peace, and not be pressed beyond what her health can bear. You have asked for healing from POTS and for relief from pain, and we ask the Great Physician to show mercy according to His will, to give her strength for each day, and to let her find satisfaction and favor in the path where He has placed her. We pray that He will grant her eyes to see clearly and a heart that is content, grateful and steadfast where she has been blessed, and that she will not be moved by pressure or persuasion. The leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations, and there is no other cure for the evils that beset us but Christ Himself. His words bear healing in them for every ill, and we pray He will keep her on that bright path, surrounded by godly and pure friendships that respect her upbringing and honor the Lord, and that He will give her wisdom to turn away from any companionship that leaves her downcast, confused and uneasy.

Concerning your older daughter we must speak faithfully and lovingly as the Scripture speaks. Marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and to live together outside of that covenant is not marriage and is not the way of holiness or blessing. We cannot ask God to bless what His Word does not call blessed, but we do earnestly pray that He will open her eyes to see the isolation and control that you have described, to see how finances and self worth and love for family and faith and purposeful work are being harmed, and to give her courage, wisdom and knowledge to turn from what is dishonest, manipulating and disrespectful. We pray that the Lord will frustrate every ungodly scheme and plot that would divide your household, that He will break every stronghold and set her free to seek purity, truthfulness and honor toward God and toward family. If it be His will that she be restored to her home, we pray it may be swiftly and in a way that restores godly habits, peace, joy and self respect, and that she may again put faith and family before any relationship that dishonors the Lord. We pray also that your younger daughter will have no desire to imitate a pattern of living together outside marriage, and that she will be kept from being lured or pressured into a move that would burden her health, her studies, her ability to care for what has been entrusted to her, and bring financial hardship and stress. We ask the Lord to teach all your children to honor their brother as a blessing and not a burden, and to restore the fellowship that has been wounded.

For your household we pray for the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. True unity is not an outward agreement at any cost, but an inward bond written on hearts by the Holy Spirit through faith in Christ. We ask the Lord to remove fear, jealousy, division, isolation and disrespect from your home, and to saturate it with peace, love, joy and fellowship that surpasses understanding. May He give to each of you strength, courage, wisdom, knowledge and understanding to meet every challenge.

For your son we have heard your cries for no more setbacks but healing, breakthrough and victory. We do not look to curses or witchcraft as having final power, for Christ has redeemed us from the curse, and the gifts and calling of God are without repentance. We pray that the Lord will lift every spiritual attack, calm his mind, restore his peace, and grant him daily grace to use the language God has given him. We ask that He who forgives sin and then brings healing will speak over him the word, Thy sins are forgiven thee, and let healing flow from that pardoning hand. We plead with Him for His dear Son's sake to deal with you all in the way of mercy.

We will continue to bear you and your children before the throne of grace, that He who loved the Church and gave Himself for it will keep you, that you may know grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, through whom alone is salvation. May the Lord keep you all, cause His face to shine upon you, and bring you into quiet rest in Christ, who alone can heal the nations and heal the broken heart. In the name of Jesus Christ our only hope we pray, Amen.

[Chrysostom]

Your prayers for your children have been heard with deep care, and I join you in bringing them before the Lord Jesus, who alone is our Savior and our hope.

I pray with you for your younger daughter. May the Lord cover her with His protection as she drives, give her wisdom and clarity in her studies and in the lab, and help her to work diligently without harming her health. I ask Him to heal her completely from POTS and to take away her pain, to give her peace, satisfaction and joy in the place where He has already blessed her. May He grant her a content and grateful heart, steady and not easily moved by pressure or persuasion, and eyes to see what is best for her health, her stewardship of her dog, her studies and her finances. I pray He will surround her with pure and godly friendships, especially from her classes, friendships that respect her faith and her upbringing, and give her discernment to step away from any friendship that consistently leaves her confused, down and uneasy. May He guard her from every spiritual attack and from every influence that would draw her away from the bright path He has set before her, and keep her obedient, thankful and at peace in your home.

I also pray with you for your older daughter. Scripture teaches that marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that living together and sexual union belong only within that covenant. What is outside of it is not marriage, no matter how it is presented. I do not ask God to bless that arrangement, but I ask Him to have mercy on her, to open her eyes to the isolation, control, dishonesty and financial exploitation you have described, and to give her courage, wisdom and strength to turn away from it swiftly. May the Lord restore to her love for her faith, for her family, for meaningful work and for her own dignity and self worth, and teach her to put Christ and her family before this relationship. I pray for the young man and his mother as well, that God would convict them, frustrate every scheme to divide your family or to lure your younger daughter into that same household, and lead them to take responsibility for their own lives and families rather than overstepping and directing yours. I pray that your younger daughter will never desire to imitate a life lived outside of marriage, and that she will be protected from being targeted or manipulated toward it.

I lift up your son with you. Jesus sees his torment and his struggle to use functional language. I ask the Lord for healing, restoration and breakthrough in his life, for peace of mind, for protection from fear, confusion, anger and every spiritual attack, and for no setback but only His favor and blessing night and day. May Christ, who is our great physician, bring daily mercies, progress in language, and abundant peace, love and joy over him. No weapon formed against those who belong to Christ shall finally prosper, for we are kept by His power and covered by His shed blood.

For your whole household I pray that God will remove division, isolation, jealousy, chaos and disrespect, and fill your home again with peace, love, joy, fellowship and unity that comes from His Holy Spirit. May He give each of you strength, courage, wisdom, knowledge and understanding for every challenge, and clothe you with His full armor so you may stand firm.

Continue with patient and persistent prayer. As we have often taught, God does not despise long and faithful hearing of His Word. Even when ten prayers or ten teachings seem to bear no visible fruit, the eleventh may bring the harvest, for the root has been watered all along. Do not grow weary in bringing your family before Him. At the same time, be careful to speak what is true with humility and without gossip, and to hear carefully and know what you do, as the Law required careful hearing before judgment. Let your speech be truthful, measured and loving, trusting God to be the judge and the restorer.

May the Lord keep you steadfast, restore the love between your daughters and their brother so that they see him as a blessing and not a burden, strengthen the bond between you and your children, and make your home a place of grateful and peaceful fellowship again. I ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our only Lord and Savior, to whom be all praise and glory. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your heartfelt prayers for your children have been heard, and I join you in bringing your family before the Lord who is our Father. Through Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, we have been adopted into His family by His grace. That adoption was made possible through blood, for without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness, and Jesus shed His blood to make a way for us to know God not as a distant judge but as a loving Father. He invites us to pray, Our Father in heaven, and to live in close, intimate fellowship with Him. He does not want a cold, legal or ritual relationship with us, but a living and loving one. When we know how deeply He loves us, we learn to love Him in return.

Scripture shows that our relationship with God is first and primary. It is the vertical axis on which everything else turns. When that relationship is right, our other relationships begin to come into balance. When it is out of balance, our relationships with others will be out of balance as well. You can often trace struggles in the home back to this center. For that reason the commandments that deal with God come first, and then the commandments that deal with our fellow man. Among those, God puts great weight on honoring father and mother and on caring for the members of our own household. To neglect our family is to deny what we profess to believe. Our walk with God should enhance every other relationship we have, in the home, in marriage, in friendship, and in daily work. The good fruit in our lives does not come by straining under rules, but as the natural result of abiding in Christ. When we are alive to God through Jesus, what we once struggled to do in our own strength begins to happen as He works in us by His Spirit.

I am praying with you for your younger daughter. I ask the Lord to cover her with His protection as she drives, in her studies, in her lab work and in all her classes, and to give her wisdom, clarity, peace and true satisfaction in her work. I pray He will help her to work diligently and efficiently without driving herself beyond what is healthy, and to guard her health which you have mentioned, including the ongoing struggles with pain. I ask God to heal her according to His mercy and to give her rest and strength each day and night. Regarding the pressure to move, I pray the Lord will give her clear eyes to see what is wise and a content and grateful heart for the home and support she has been given. A move at this time would add financial strain, crowd her busy schedule, make it harder to care well for her dog, and affect her health. I pray she will not be swayed by persuasion or by voices that do not have her best interests at heart, but will remain steadfast where she has been blessed, honoring you and the upbringing you have given her.

I also pray for her friendships. You have noticed that after time with one particular friend she comes home confused and down. I pray God will give her discernment to recognize what is unhealthy and the wisdom to step away from influences that consistently leave her discouraged and uneasy. May the Lord surround her with pure, godly friendships, perhaps from her classes, that respect her faith and values and encourage her on the bright path He has for her. Where there has been any spiritual oppression or confusion, I pray Jesus will bring His peace and remove what is not from Him, and fill your home again with calm, gratitude and unity.

For your older daughter, I pray with deep concern and love. God created marriage to be a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and He intends sexual intimacy and sharing a home as husband and wife to belong within that covenant. Living together outside of marriage is not marriage, and Scripture warns that such a path does not lead to blessing. I cannot ask God to bless what He has called us away from, but I do ask Him to have mercy on your daughter, to open her eyes to the isolation, control, dishonesty and financial exploitation you have described, and to the way this relationship has drawn her away from family, friends, church fellowship and purposeful work. I pray God will frustrate every plan that would divide your family or use your children for selfish gain, including any scheme to draw your younger daughter into that household or to direct her finances. I pray your older daughter will find courage, wisdom and honesty to see this relationship truthfully, to stop defending what is harmful, to stop seeking counsel that leads her further astray, and to put her faith, her family and her own well being before this man and his family. I pray the Lord will break every ungodly tie and restore to her freedom, self worth, joy and a desire for what is holy. Jesus knows what it is to be rejected and misunderstood by those closest to Him, and He understands the brokenness you and your younger children feel over this distance. He is able to heal and restore.

For your son, I join you in asking for the Lord's protection, healing and breakthrough. You have described torment, confusion, frustration and difficulty in recent days. I pray Jesus, who has defeated every spiritual enemy, will quiet his mind, bring peace where there has been turmoil, and help him in his daily needs including his ability to communicate. I plead the blood of Christ over him as the ground of our safety and acceptance with God, and ask for the full armor of God and the guard of His angels around him and around your whole household. I pray for no setback but for steady healing, restoration, favor and joy, and for daily evidence of God's care. May the Lord remove fear, jealousy, division and disrespect from your home and replace it with strength, courage, understanding and love that goes beyond what we can explain.

God does not want a half hearted, lukewarm walk with Him. He wants our whole hearts. I pray He will draw each of you back to that first love for Jesus, where you are caught up in His beauty and goodness. As you seek Him first, trust Him to bring your other relationships into order. He can restore love between brother and sisters, strengthen the bond between you and your daughters, and make your fellowship unbreakable in Him.

Father in heaven, I lift this mother and her children to You in the name of Jesus. Adopt them anew in Your love, cover them by the blood of Your Son, and let them know You as their Father. Give wisdom, protection, peace and joy to the younger daughter, guide her steps, heal her body, guard her mind, and keep her from every divisive influence. Give the older daughter eyes to see and courage to walk away from what is harming her, and bring her back to You and to her family. Touch the son with Your healing hand, calm his spirit, restore his peace, and grant him breakthrough and protection. Fill this home with Your Holy Spirit, remove all that brings chaos and isolation, and restore unity, respect, gratitude and love. May each one honor You first, and may that right relationship with You bring healing to every other relationship. In Jesus mighty name I pray, amen.
