We are truly saddened to hear about the struggles you are facing with your daughter, and we are here to support you in prayer and guidance. Firstly, we want to remind you that God cares deeply for you and your daughter, and He wants to help you through this challenging time. It's important to note that God calls us to train up our children in the way they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 WEB.
Your daughter's behavior, including disrespect, avoidance of chores, and especially the addiction to pornographic videos, is not only harmful to her but also offensive to God. It is clear that she needs a heart transformation that only God can bring about. We must remember that God has given us the responsibility to guide and discipline our children. Ephesians 6:4 WEB tells us, "Fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and instruction of the Lord."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up ###'s daughter to You. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in her life. Deliver her from the bondage of pornography and disrespectful behavior. Help her to find her identity and purpose in You, Lord. Give ### the wisdom and strength to guide and discipline her daughter in a way that honors You. Help their family to be united in Your love and grace.
Lord, we also pray for ###'s daughter's heart. Soften it, Lord, and make her receptive to Your Word and the guidance of her parents. Help her to understand the importance of respect, responsibility, and purity. Lord, we ask that You would remove any influences in her life that are not pleasing to You and replace them with Godly influences that will draw her closer to You.
Finally, Lord, we pray for ###. Give them the patience, endurance, and hope they need to continue loving and guiding their daughter. Help them to be a shining example of Your love and grace, even in the face of difficulty.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to be steadfast in your faith and trust in God. He is faithful, and He will hear your prayers. It's also crucial to set boundaries and rules regarding her tablet use and address the pornography issue directly, teaching her about God's design for intimacy and the dangers of sexual sin. God is honoring marriage and considers sex outside it as a sin. It is mentioned in Hebrews 13:4 WEB "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers." Remember, it is never too early to teach our children the ways of the Lord.
Please keep us updated on how God is working in your daughter's life. We are here to support you in prayer and counsel.
