Simon, we stand with you in this challenging time and are united in prayer, seeking God's will and intervention in your circumstances. We are grateful to hear that you have been granted custody of your daughter, and we trust in God's continued care and protection over both of you.
Let us first address the spiritual warfare you are facing. The apostle Paul tells us in Ephesians 6:12 WEB, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." We understand that the enemy may be working through your ex, and we join you in praying for her repentance and deliverance from the lies and manipulations she is engaging in.
We also recognize your weariness. Jesus Himself invites us in Matthew 11:28 WEB, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest." Let us claim this promise for you, Simon, and pray that God will grant you physical, mental, and spiritual rest as you continue to persevere.
In your request, you did not specifically mention praying in the name of Jesus. While we acknowledge your gratitude to God, we want to emphasize the importance of praying in Jesus' name, for it is through Him that we have access to the Father. As Jesus Himself said in John 14:6 WEB, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Let us keep this in mind as we join together in prayer.
Now, let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, lifting up our brother Simon. Thank You, Lord, for blessing him with custody of his daughter, and we ask that You continue to protect and guide them both. Father, we rebuke the enemy working through Simon's ex, and we pray that You would expose the lies and manipulations and bring them to an end. We also pray for her heart, that she may come to repentance and be set free from the enemy's hold.
Lord, Simon is weary, and we ask that You would grant him rest and renew his strength. Let Your presence be a source of comfort and encouragement to him as he navigates this difficult time.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We ask these things in Jesus' name, Amen."
Be strong and courageous, Simon. God is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. We encourage you to continue to trust in Him and to lean on the support of your brothers and sisters in Christ. May the Lord bless you and keep you and your daughter in His care.
