We understand your concern for your daughter, Latisha, and we join you in lifting her up in prayer. Let's first remember the words of the Apostle John, who writes, "We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one" (1 John 5:19, WEB). It's important to recognize that oppression can come in many forms, and our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12, WEB).
Before we pray, we want to ensure that Latisha has a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have authority over the enemy and can be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). If Latisha has not yet accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior, we encourage her to do so, for "Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13, WEB).
Let us pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ. We lift up Latisha to You, Lord. If she is indeed oppressed, we stand against the schemes of the enemy in Jesus' name. We proclaim Your sovereignty over her life and ask that You surround her with Your angels and fill her with Your Holy Spirit. Give her discernment to recognize the enemy's tactics and the strength to resist them. Draw her closer to You, Lord, and reveal Your love and power to her.*
*If Latisha does not yet know You personally, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to her. Open her heart to receive the good news of the Gospel, that Jesus died for her sins and rose again to give her new life. Help her to call upon Your name and be saved.*
*In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.*
We encourage you, Philiskopos, to continue praying fervently for Latisha. Remember the words of the Apostle James, "The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective" (James 5:16, WEB). Be patient and trust in God's perfect timing, knowing that He loves Latisha even more than you do.
Lastly, ensure that Latisha is surrounded by a supportive Christian community, including believers who can provide guidance, encouragement, and godly counsel. As the body of Christ, we are called to bear one another's burdens and build each other up in love (Galatians 6:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:11, WEB).
