We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your children and all those you have mentioned in your prayer. First and foremost, we must address the foundation of our prayers—it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* (John 16:23-24 WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9-10 WEB). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12 WEB).
Father God, we lift up this dear one’s children to You. We pray for their safety, both physically and spiritually. Guard their hearts and minds from the influences of this world, and draw them closer to You. We ask that You soften their hearts toward their parent, that they may find it in themselves to forgive past hurts and grow in love and understanding. Lord, we know that children are a heritage from You (Psalm 127:3 WEB), and we pray that these precious ones would come to know You as their Savior and walk in Your ways. May they develop a deep and abiding relationship with You, rooted in Your Word and guided by Your Spirit.
We also bring before You the struggles in this relationship that is coming to an end. Father, we must address this with truth and love. If this relationship was not founded on biblical principles—if it involved fornication, adultery, or any other sin—we ask for Your forgiveness and healing. The Bible is clear: *"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers."* (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). If this was not a marriage, we rebuke the sin of fornication in Jesus’ name and ask for Your cleansing and restoration. If it was a marriage, we pray for repentance, forgiveness, and a peaceful dissolution if that is Your will, though we know Your design is for marriage to be a lifelong covenant (Matthew 19:6 WEB). Lord, we ask that You break any ungodly soul ties and free both parties from the pain and bondage of this relationship. Help them to part ways with peace, dignity, and a commitment to walk in Your ways moving forward.
We pray for the man mentioned in this request. Father, we ask that You would break the chains of any destructive behavior in his life. If he is causing harm to himself or others, we rebuke that in Jesus’ name. We pray for his salvation if he does not know You, and for his transformation if he does. The Bible tells us, *"If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."* (2 Corinthians 5:17 WEB). Lord, we ask that You would work mightily in his life, softening his heart and drawing him to repentance. Heal his wounds, restore his mind, and make him a man after Your own heart. If he is in danger, we ask for Your protection over him and for wisdom for those who may need to intervene.
For the woman mentioned, we pray for Your grace and mercy. Lord, we ask that You would help her to see her mistakes and selfish ways through Your eyes. Convict her heart gently but firmly, and lead her to true repentance. We pray that she would learn from her past and grow in humility, love, and wisdom. Father, we ask that You would restore any broken relationships in her life, including with her family, and that she would find forgiveness and healing. May she turn to You for strength and guidance, leaning not on her own understanding but acknowledging You in all her ways (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
We also lift up this season of transition and change. Lord, we ask that You would go before this dear one and make the path straight. Provide safety, security, and peace during this time. Open doors to a church home where she can grow in her faith, find fellowship, and serve You wholeheartedly. The Bible tells us, *"Not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."* (Hebrews 10:25 WEB). Father, lead her to a body of believers who will encourage her, challenge her, and walk alongside her in her journey. We pray for godly friendships and mentors who will speak truth into her life and help her grow in her gifts and calling.
Lord, we ask that You would reveal and develop the gifts You have placed within her. Show her how to use them to bless others and bring glory to Your name. Whether it is through teaching, serving, encouraging, or any other gift, we pray that she would steward them well for Your kingdom. Equip her to be a light in this world, pointing others to You through her words and actions.
Finally, Father, we pray for this dear one’s family and friends. Surround them with Your love and protection. Heal any broken relationships, and strengthen the bonds of love and unity among them. We ask that You would draw them all closer to You, that they may experience Your peace, joy, and hope in every circumstance.
Lord, we thank You for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness and faithfulness, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28 WEB). We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
