Prayer For Estranged Daughter
I pray your voice be louder to him than that of the enemy and that of the world's. Dear Lord that you help him to see any lies of the enemy that try to take over in his mind to prevent any further damage than has already been done.
Lord I know there are many circumstances that have played a role in the downfall of why he left and has not come back home. I know that there were struggles and I know there were mistakes made. We were not always the best of parents but I did not think we were the worst or that we were so awful that it would have made him stay away. I do not know if he hates us, Lord Jesus I pray he does not.
Dear Heavenly Father I come now asking that you will open the eyes and heart of my child. I pray for healing in whatever way he needs it Lord Jesus. He had to be hurting and that is why he chose to stay away. I pray you help him to heal in his heart and mind. I ask that you will help restore our relationship.
Our Holy Father, I have made mistakes in this relationship and I ask for forgiveness and repentance of my sins. I have disobeyed you and broken the trust you had in me. I have left a family member out of my life and have not shown them the love and kindness all of your children deserve. I know that they have made mistakes too, and I pray for continued forgiveness of their sins. I work hard to forgive them daily as you would want me to do. At the end of the day I shall always love them for being a part of the beautiful family You have provided me with. No matter the mistakes, negative feelings, and evil that comes into my heart I will forgive my family member and ask for forgiveness with you. Please continue to guide me during this time. Amen.
Lord Above, I thank you for my family member, even if they are not with me now. The time we had together holds many memories that I will keep in my heart forever. I know they have made this choice without me, but I forgive them and will wait patiently for their return if they choose to do so. During this time of waiting, I will appreciate what we had together and thank YOU for blessing me with their presence. Please bless me with peace and serenity during the times of darkness and sadness. Amen
Lord, I miss my family member dearly and I worry about their safety, happiness and health daily. I don't know the simplest of things, like if their basic necessities are being met. Lord please watch over them! Please provide them with the tools they need to live and lead a successful, peaceful and joyful life. I want nothing more than for them to be safe, despite all of my grief and anger. My personal anguish shall not triumph what your Son taught us to love all. I love my family member no matter what, and I pray for their safety during this time. Please continue to push me in the correct direction and put my own ideals and selfishness aside as I move forward. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Lord I know there are many circumstances that have played a role in the downfall of why he left and has not come back home. I know that there were struggles and I know there were mistakes made. We were not always the best of parents but I did not think we were the worst or that we were so awful that it would have made him stay away. I do not know if he hates us, Lord Jesus I pray he does not.
It is hard that he has not come to see us or has not even wanted to talk to us in several years. He does not even want us to know anything about his life. It hurts to know he has a baby boy that we have never met. God you know my heart and you know how much this hurts both his father and I.
I feel the pain when the memories flood in. In those moments when his younger sister asks us why he never comes around us anymore? Lord sometimes I do not even have the right words to answer her.
When his step brothers and sister bring up a memory of all the crazy things that they used to do when they were kids, we laugh in the moment but then these memories send a flood of tears that start way down deep in my heart and then trickle down my face.
There are times it is more than tears, it is a weeping so much that my pillow is wet with all the pain that has flooded my mind. Lord I know you are there for me when that happens. We want him to return to us Lord. We want there to be forgiveness on both sides. We want there to be restoration.
We know that we have seen so much restoration in so many other areas but yet in this one Lord, I sometimes feel you are being silent. You will then remind me that even when you are willing, we all have a free will to choose and there is a beautiful freedom in this free will. It would be unfair of me to praise you for it in some areas and then not in another, so Lord I trust that you are working.
I trust that you are moving in his heart and continuing to move in ours. Lord I know you are teaching me things in this process, even though it is hard. I know that trusting YOU, the almighty God is where I need to remain. On You the God who heals. The God who provides. The God who is faithful even when I am notIt is You alone, that I need Lord and so I trust.
I will not give up hope that one day. Some day. Somehow. You will make a way for healing to come. I lay this at your feet each and every day and on those days that I am weak and I let my emotions lead. I ask you gently guide me each time back to you. Lord I need you most of all in every way in every situation we face. Thank you for being all that you are for us. You are my redeemer. In Jesus name I pray. AMEN
PRAYING FOR MY ESTRANGED DAUGHTER ASHLEY TO HONOR HER MOTHER. SHE'S BEEN A VERY DISRESPECTFUL CHILD TO ME SINCE AROUND THE AGE OF 12. NOW THAT SHE'S GROWN NOTHING HAS CHANGED. IN FACT IT'S GOTTEN WORSE. PRAYING FOR GOD TO SOFTEN HER HEART AS IT IS HARDENED TOWARDS ME, HER MOTHER. PRAYING THAT GOD ALLOWS HIS ANGELS TO COME INTO HER DREAMS AND CHASE HER UNTIL HER SOUL SURRENDERS TO GOD'S WILL. PRAYING THAT HER FAMILY MEMBERS AND HER FRIENDS WHO ENCOURAGE HER TO BE DISRESPECTFUL TO ME AND WHO LAUGH WITH HER WHEN SHE'S SAYING DISRESPECTFUL THINGS TO ME, THAT GOD WOULD START TO REMOVE THEM OUT OF HER LIFE. PRAYING THAT SHE WILL COME TO TERMS WITH ASKING ME FOR FORGIVENESS AND HAVE A MIND TO WANT TO RECONCILE. PRAYING THAT GOD BREAKS ALL THE STRONGHOLDS THAT COVER HER MIND, BODY, AND SOULIN JESUS NAME! AMEN
