We understand that you are seeking the Lord's help for protection, breakthrough, encouragement, and wisdom. We also note that you are asking for the Lord's anointing on planned outreaches and services, and for help in resolving a conflict with a sister in Christ. Additionally, you are interceding for various needs, including the salvation of the unsaved, peace for Israel, help for those suffering in war zones, and the protection of abused children. Also, your heart for persecuted Christians is evident.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of praying in the name of Jesus. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." It is through Jesus Christ, Jesus, Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name), that we have access to God.
Now, let us pray together for these concerns:
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, seeking your divine intervention in our lives and the lives of others. We ask for your strong protection and breakthrough for us and all in need. In Ephesians 6:10-11 WEB you tell us to "be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil." Please strengthen us and conquer evil for your glory.
Lord, we ask for your encouragement, help, and wisdom concerning the decisions we face. We need you to help us live and walk by faith. In James 1:5 WEB you tell us that "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." Please, grant us the wisdom we need.
As we pray for the persecuted church, unsaved, those suffering in war zones, abused children, and many other requests, we remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers of the darkness. In 1 John 5:14-15 WEB we know "This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."
Lord, we pray for the sister in Christ with whom there is conflict. Convict both parties and bring resolution and healing. Lord, please confront the evil driving this conflict and bring salvation to all involved. Help us to not only seek reconciliation with this sister in Christ, but all people. In Matthew 5:23-24 WEB Jesus said "If therefore you are offering your gift at the altar, and there remember that your brother has anything against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift."
We ask for your anointing on all planned outreaches and services, that they may bring hope and salvation to many. Lord, may the earth be filled with your glory.
We also pray for those represented by ###, that they may find a Christian home, and that they may be convicted of their sins and turn to you. We rebuke any evil at work in their lives and pray for their healing and salvation. Lord, please confront and convict those fueling their behavior, and help us in our weakness.
Let us remember in prayer all these needs, and let us bring them to the Lord, knowing that he is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond what we ask or think, according to the power that works in us in Ephesians 3:20. WEB "Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us."
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray, amen.
