We understand your concern for your teenage daughters, H.t and A.t, and we join you in prayer to keep evil influences away from them. Let us remind ourselves that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore, we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea (Psalm 46:1-2 WEB).
Firstly, we must acknowledge that there is power in the name of Jesus, and it is by His authority that we can rebuke and reject any evil influences. As it is written, Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name; that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth (Philippians 2:9-10 WEB). It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is only by His name that we can be saved.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her family. Lord, we ask that You surround H.t and A.t with Your hedge of protection, keeping them safe from any evil influences that may try to infiltrate their lives. We rebuke and reject any friendships that do not align with Your will and purpose for their lives.
Father, we ask that You give our sister and her family the strength to stand firm against any manipulation or lies, and that they would not be pushovers. We pray that this girl who has overstayed her welcome and brought evil into their home would be removed peacefully and permanently. We ask that You would bring godly friendships into H.t and A.t's lives, friendships that would encourage them in their walk with You and help them grow stronger in their faith.
Lord, we also pray for our sister and her family's safety, that You would protect them from any harm or danger. We ask that You would give them wisdom and discernment to recognize and reject any evil influences that may try to enter their home.
Father, we ask all these things in the name of Jesus, knowing that You hear our prayers and that You are faithful to answer them according to Your will. We thank You for Your protection and guidance. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, let us encourage you to continue to teach your daughters the ways of the Lord, as instructed in Proverbs 22:6 WEB: Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. Remind them to honor God in all their relationships, and to choose friends who will encourage them in their walk with Christ.
We also remind you to be mindful of your authority in Christ, as outlined in Luke 10:19 WEB: Behold, I give you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will in any way hurt you. Do not be afraid to stand firm against evil influences, and to take a stand for righteousness in your home.
We are here for you, and we will continue to pray for your family's protection and guidance.
