Let us come before the Lord with heavy hearts for your daughter and this difficult situation she finds herself in. We know that God desires for us to live in truth and righteousness, and that He is grieved when we are deceived and caught in sin. Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our sister, who has submitted this request, and her daughter. Lord, we know that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12). We ask that You intervene in this situation and open the eyes of the daughter and the man, who is not a spouse yet has been in a relationship. Grant her discernment and the strength to stand against the deceptions of the enemy. We pray that You would reveal to her the truth about this man's character and the reality of his actions. Help her find the courage to make choices that honor You and Your Word.
Father, we also pray for this man. We ask that You convict him of his sins, including the cheating, lying, and the hurt he has caused both to his ex and to our sister's daughter. We pray that he would repent and seek Your forgiveness, and that he would turn from his wicked ways. There is only forgiveness through Jesus Christ. We pray that both the daughter and this man would come to a saving knowledge of Jesus and that Your name would be glorified in this situation. We are reminded that there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
As a group, we also want to address the importance of aligning our relationships with biblical principles. The Bible teaches us that marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman, and that any sexual activity outside of this union is sinful. We encourage our sister's daughter to seek godly counsel and to surround herself with believers who will support her in making decisions that honor God. We pray that she would find healing and restoration in Jesus Christ and that she would be empowered to walk in purity and righteousness.
Father, we ask that You would surround this family with Your love and protection. Comfort them in their distress and guide them in Your truth. We pray that You would use this situation to draw them closer to You and to each other. In Jesus name we pray. Amen
