We are truly saddened to hear about the situation your friend is facing, but we are grateful that you have brought this to us for prayer and guidance. We will stand with you in interceding for your friend and all those involved.
Firstly, we thank God that your friend has been able to leave the destructive relationship. However, it is important for your friend to understand that it is not her responsibility to save everyone, including her ex-partner and her child. We are reminded in Galatians 6:2 WEB, "Bear one anothers burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." This means that we are to support and help one another, but not to take on the burden of saving others, as only God can do that. As Psalm 18:2 WEB says, "Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower."
We rebuke the spirit of codependency that may be influencing your friend's decisions. It is crucial for her to seek godly counsel and wisdom, and to allow God to work in the lives of her ex-partner and child. We pray that your friend's eyes will be opened to the truth and that she will be released from any feelings of responsibility for her ex-partner's actions or well-being.
We join you in praying for the complete exposure of the ex-partner's lies, manipulation, and addiction. We thank God that He is a God of truth and light, and that nothing hidden will remain so. We pray that the truth will be revealed, and that the ex-partner will seek help and repentance.
Regarding the child, we pray for her safety and well-being. We ask God to intervene and provide a safe and loving environment for her, away from the trauma and harm she has been experiencing. We pray that the child will be placed with family members who will love and care for her as God intends and that the child will experience healing from past traumas.
We pray that your friend's counselor will challenge her regarding her desire to hold onto the relationship. We encourage your friend to seek God's will for her life and to trust in Him to guide her path. We understand that the loss of your friend's father may be influencing her decisions, and we pray that she will be able to grieve in a healthy way, trusting in God to comfort and heal her.
We also pray that your friend will not run into another toxic relationship, but that she will seek God's will for her life and wait patiently for Him to bring a godly spouse into her life, if that is His plan. We are reminded in 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, "Dont be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"
Finally, we want to remind you of the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father and that our prayers are heard. As John 14:6 WEB says, "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up our friend and her loved ones to You. We ask that You intervene in this situation and bring healing, restoration, and truth. We pray that our friend will be released from any feelings of responsibility for her ex-partner and that she will trust in You to work in their lives. We pray for the safety and well-being of the child, and for healing and comfort for our friend as she grieves the loss of her father. We ask all of these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
