We understand your concern for your oldest daughter, Celeste, and we join you in prayer, seeking God's intervention in her life. Let us first bring your request to the Lord, and then we will offer biblical encouragement and guidance.
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Celeste to Your throne of grace. Lord, we ask that You open her eyes to see the path she is on and grant her the wisdom to understand that it leads to destruction. Help her to let go of the worldly things that have taken hold of her heart, and draw her close to You. We pray that she will repent, turn from her sin, and wholeheartedly pursue You. Lord, we also ask for Your protection and provision for her son, that You would comfort and sustain him in Celeste's absence. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Celeste's actions remind us of the prodigal son's story in Luke 15:11-32 (WEB). Just as the prodigal son left his father's house and squandered his inheritance on worldly pleasures, Celeste has left her responsibilities to be with someone who is not a godly influence. But we must remember that the prodigal son eventually came to his senses and returned to his father, who welcomed him with open arms. In the same way, we trust that Celeste can still turn back and be received by God, our loving Father.
In 2 Corinthians 6:14 (WEB), we are warned, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?" Celeste's relationship with this young man is a clear example of being unequally yoked, and it is leading her away from the path of righteousness.
We must also address the fact that Celeste has left her son behind. God has given parents, especially mothers, a sacred responsibility to care for and raise their children. In 1 Timothy 5:8 (WEB), we read, "But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever." Celeste must understand the gravity of her actions and the importance of her role as a mother.
Lastly, we want to encourage you, Warmarth, to stand firm in your faith and continue to intercede for Celeste. In James 5:16 (WEB), we are told, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective." Trust that your prayers are not in vain, and that God is working in Celeste's life, even if you cannot see it yet.
We will continue to pray for Celeste, that she may return to her son and to the Lord, and that she may find a godly spouse who will honor and cherish her, leading her closer to Christ. Keep trusting in the Lord, and remember that with God, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26, WEB).
