We come before the Lord with you in unity, lifting up your heartfelt cries and interceding for every need you’ve presented. Your passion for prayer and your burden for others reflect the heart of Christ, who ever lives to make intercession for His people. We stand with you in the mighty name of Jesus, declaring that our God is able to do *exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think*, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20).
First, we must address something vital: you have invoked the name of the Lord Jesus in your prayer, and we rejoice in this! It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, for Jesus Himself said, *"No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His authority alone that we can boldly approach the throne of grace. We encourage you to always pray *in Jesus’ name*, for it is the name above every name, and at His name, every knee shall bow (Philippians 2:10). If there are others you are praying for who do not yet know the power of His name, we urge you to share the Gospel with them, that they too may call upon the Lord and be saved (Romans 10:13).
Now, let us address the matters you’ve brought before the Lord. You’ve asked for *strong protection and breakthrough* for yourself and all in need. We declare over you the promise of Psalm 91, that *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’"* (Psalm 91:1-2). The Lord is your shield and your exceedingly great reward (Genesis 15:1). We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against you, your loved ones, and all those you are interceding for, for *"greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). We pray that the Lord would surround you with favor as with a shield (Psalm 5:12) and that every breakthrough you need would come swiftly, in Jesus’ name.
You’ve also asked for *encouragement, wisdom, and the Lord’s anointing* for the outreaches and services planned. We pray that the Holy Spirit would fill you afresh, just as He did the early disciples, granting you boldness and clarity to proclaim the Gospel with power (Acts 4:31). May the Lord anoint your words and actions, that many would be drawn to Christ through your obedience. Remember, *"the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore that the Lord of the harvest will send out laborers into his harvest"* (Matthew 9:37-38). We ask that the Lord would raise up more laborers to join you in this work and that every conflict among believers would be resolved in humility and love, for *"how good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!"* (Psalm 133:1).
Regarding the conflicts you’ve mentioned—including those forgotten and those involving individuals you’ve referenced—we pray that the Lord would bring conviction where needed and healing where there is brokenness. *"If your brother sins against you, go and rebuke him in private. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother"* (Matthew 18:15). We ask that the Lord would soften hearts and bring repentance where there is sin, for *"Godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation"* (2 Corinthians 7:10). If there are unresolved conflicts in your own heart, we encourage you to seek reconciliation, for *"if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar, and go, first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift"* (Matthew 5:23-24). The Lord desires unity among His people, and we pray that He would work mightily to restore what has been broken.
We notice you’ve mentioned struggles with *"c."* and references to *"b/w."* If these pertain to sinful strongholds such as fornication, lust, or any form of sexual immorality, we must address this directly with the truth of God’s Word. *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). If this is a struggle for you or someone you are praying for, we urge you to repent and turn to the Lord for deliverance. *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it"* (1 Corinthians 10:13). The Lord is your strength, and He will help you overcome. We rebuke every spirit of lust and impurity in Jesus’ name and pray that the Lord would fill you with His Holy Spirit, that you may walk in victory.
You’ve also interceded for persecuted Christians, the salvation of the unsaved, peace for Israel, and those suffering in war zones and calamities. We join you in these prayers, for the Lord’s heart is for the nations. *"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven"* (Matthew 5:10). We pray for supernatural protection over our persecuted brothers and sisters, that the Lord would strengthen them and use their testimony to draw many to Christ. For the unsaved, we declare *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9). We pray that the Lord would open blind eyes and turn hearts of stone to flesh, that many would come to know Him as Savior. For Israel, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6) and for the Lord to bring an end to violence and strife. We ask that He would provide for those in war-torn regions and comfort those who are suffering, for *"the Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18).
For the individual you’ve asked the Lord to *"encounter and rebuke"* (referred to as *"A."*), we pray that the Lord would expose every work of darkness and bring conviction of sin. If this person is acting in rebellion against God, we ask that the Lord would break their hardness of heart and lead them to repentance. *"It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God"* (Hebrews 10:31), and we pray that this individual would turn from their wicked ways before it is too late. We also pray for their salvation, that they would come to know the love of Christ and be transformed by His grace.
For the prayer gatherings you’ve mentioned, we ask that the Lord would pour out His Spirit in power, just as He did on the day of Pentecost. *"When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place. Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak"* (Acts 2:1-4). We pray that your gatherings would be marked by the presence of God, that signs and wonders would follow, and that many would be saved, healed, and delivered.
Finally, we pray for you personally—for strength in your weakness, for favor at work and with your team, and for wisdom in all your decisions. *"But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me"* (2 Corinthians 12:9). The Lord is your strength, and He will uphold you with His righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10). We pray that He would grant you rest and refreshment, that you would not grow weary in well-doing, for *"in due season we will reap, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9).
Now, let us pray together:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister and all the burdens they’ve placed at Your feet. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who acts. We ask that You would surround them with Your divine protection, that no weapon formed against them would prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Grant them breakthrough in every area where they are bound, and let Your light shine into every dark place.
Father, we pray for Your anointing upon their outreaches and services, that many would be drawn to You through their obedience. Give them wisdom that comes from above, that is pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy (James 3:17). Resolve every conflict, Lord, and bring healing where there is brokenness. Convict hearts and soften those who are hardened, that repentance and reconciliation would abound.
We rebuke every spirit of lust, impurity, and temptation in Jesus’ name. Lord, set them free from every stronghold and fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in victory. For those struggling with sin, Father, we ask that You would grant them the strength to flee from it and the grace to overcome.
Lord, we intercede for the persecuted, the unsaved, Israel, and all those suffering in war and calamity. Be their shield and their refuge. Bring salvation to the lost and peace to the nations. Comfort those who mourn and provide for those in need.
We pray for the individual our brother/sister has mentioned, that You would encounter them in power. Convict them of sin, Lord, and lead them to repentance. Do not let them harden their heart against You, but draw them to Yourself in mercy.
Father, anoint their prayer gatherings with Your fire. Let Your presence be tangible, and let Your power be displayed. May signs and wonders follow them, and may Your name be glorified.
Finally, Lord, we pray for our brother/sister personally. Strengthen them in their weakness, grant them favor in their work, and give them wisdom in all things. Let them feel Your presence with them always, and let them know that You are fighting for them.
We thank You, Lord, that You are able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think. Fill the earth with Your glory, and let Your kingdom come in every situation we’ve lifted before You today. In the mighty name of Jesus we pray, Amen.*
