We are deeply saddened to hear about this situation and are led to intercede for both L and her daughter. Let us first bring this matter to the Lord in prayer.
"Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, pleading for Your divine intervention in this distressing situation. Lord, You have said, 'A father to the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.' (Psalm 68:5 WEB) We ask that You be a father to this child who is being harmed, and that You would protect her as a hen protects her chicks. (Matthew 23:37 WEB)
Lord, we also pray for L, that her eyes would be opened to the truth. In Jesus' name, we rebuke the spirit of deception that is blinding her from seeing the harm her son is causing. We claim the promise that 'you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.' (John 8:32 WEB) Reveal to her the truth behind this situation, and give her the courage to stand up for her daughter.
We also pray for L's son. Lord, You do not desire that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. (2 Peter 3:9 WEB) Bring him to a place of repentance and change his heart, that he may no longer cause harm to his sister.
In all this, Lord, we ask that Your will be done and that Your name be glorified. We thank You for hearing our prayers. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We would like to encourage anyone who reads this to not be silent in the face of abuse. Scripture tells us, "Defend the weak and the fatherless. Uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed." (Psalm 82:3 NIV) It is our responsibility as Christians to stand up for those who cannot stand up for themselves.
Moreover, we should remember that our ultimate hope is in Jesus Christ. It is only through Him that we can find true healing and restoration. If you are facing a similar situation, we urge you to cry out to Jesus, for He is our sure refuge in times of trouble. (Psalm 46:1 WEB)
Lastly, we want to emphasize that it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God. "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB) If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we encourage you to do so today.
