Let us pray together for this situation, guided by the principles of God's Word.
Firstly, we acknowledge that you have brought this petition in the name of Jesus, which is wonderful. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved It is truly by the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God with confidence, as His blood has allowed us to enter the holy places, not by the blood of goats and calves but by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:19).
We are reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 12:25 WEB: "Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said to them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand."
Let us address the complexities of this situation. You mentioned that you were not married when you conceived your son. God's design for intimacy is within the bounds of marriage between a man and a woman. Fornication is a sin, but it is not an unforgivable sin. God's grace is sufficient to cover all our sins when we repent and turn to Him. The Bible tells us that marriage is honorable among all and the bed undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers (Hebrews 13:4).
Let us pray for the mother of your son, that God will deliver her from the spirits of unfaithfulness, lack of self-control, lying, and manipulation. We pray that God will open her eyes to see that her current lifestyle and relationships are not His will for her life. We rebuke the evil spirit behind her controlling mother and pray for freedom and release.
We also pray for her current relationship, that if it is not God's will, it will be dissolved. We ask God to save her and open her eyes to the truth, that she may forgive herself and those who have hurt her. We pray that God will put a faithful spirit in her, convict her of her sins, and give her a new heart and a right spirit. Ezekiel 36:26-27 WEB states, "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you. I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my ordinances, and do them."
We pray for restoration in your relationship, that it will be built on a God-fearing foundation. We pray that you both will turn to God, repent of your sins, and seek His will for your lives. We pray for a godly marriage, that you may become one flesh, as it is a lifelong commitment ordained by God. Mark 10:6-9 WEB reminds us, "But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this situation to You. We pray for the mother of this child, that You will deliver her from every evil spirit and bring her to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We pray for her current relationship, that if it is not Your will, it will be dissolved. We ask You to open her eyes to the truth, that she may repent of her sins and turn to You.
We pray for restoration in their relationship, that it will be built on a solid, God-fearing foundation. We pray that they will turn to You, repent of their sins, and seek Your will for their lives. We pray for a godly marriage, that they may become one flesh, a lifelong commitment ordained by You.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Be encouraged, and 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 straight your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
