We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude that you have acknowledged the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your prayer is a powerful reminder of the many battles being waged in the spiritual realm, and we join you in lifting these burdens to the Lord, trusting in His sovereignty and mighty power to intervene.
First, we must address the importance of praying *in Jesus’ name* with clarity and reverence. While you closed with thanks to our Lord Jesus, many of your requests were directed generally without explicitly invoking His name over each petition. 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). Let us always approach the throne of grace boldly, but with the full acknowledgment that our access is through Christ alone. Without Him, our prayers are empty. We encourage you to surrender every request intentionally to Jesus, for He is the mediator between God and mankind (1 Timothy 2:5).
Now, let us turn to the matters you’ve brought before the Lord. You’ve asked for *extra strong protection and breakthrough* for yourself and others in need. We stand with you on the promise that *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh."* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). The Lord is our fortress, and we pray that He would surround you, your loved ones, and all who are persecuted or suffering with His divine protection. May He expose and dismantle every scheme of the enemy, bringing breakthrough in areas where there has been stagnation or oppression. We specifically lift up the persecuted Christians, those in war zones, and the abused children you mentioned. *"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble."* (Psalm 9:9, WEB). May His justice roll like a river, and may His comfort reach those who are brokenhearted.
You’ve also asked for wisdom, encouragement, and the Lord’s anointing for outreaches and services. We pray that the Holy Spirit would fill you afresh, granting you wisdom that comes from above—*"pure, peace-loving, gentle, yielding to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."* (James 3:17, WEB). May the Lord anoint your words and actions so that every outreach would bear fruit for His kingdom. *"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, WEB). We ask that He would resolve conflicts, even those forgotten, and bring reconciliation where there is division. *"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God."* (Matthew 5:9, WEB).
We notice that you’ve mentioned several individuals by placeholders (#), some involving deep conflicts, hurt, and even what appears to be ungodly behavior or influences. While we don’t know the specifics, we must address the importance of forgiveness and biblical confrontation. If there are unresolved conflicts, especially among believers, Scripture commands us: *"If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother."* (Matthew 18:15, WEB). If the issue involves unrepentant sin, we must pray for conviction by the Holy Spirit, but we are also called to *"have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them."* (Ephesians 5:11, WEB). For those who are fueling evil or causing harm, we pray that the Lord would severely confront them—not out of malice, but that they may come to repentance. *"Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?"* (Romans 2:4, WEB). May the Lord break the hardened hearts and bring them to salvation, for that is His desire: *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance."* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB).
For the individual you mentioned who needs healing, we pray for the Lord’s restoring hand. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). May He remove every burden (b/w) and bring swift recovery. For those struggling in school or work, we ask for divine help and favor. *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). May the Lord grant you strength in your weakness, for *"when I am weak, then am I strong"* through Christ (2 Corinthians 12:10).
We also note your mention of a "struggle with #." If this involves temptation, especially of a sexual or relational nature outside of God’s design for marriage, we must address it directly. Scripture is clear: *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). If this struggle is related to lust, fornication, or any form of impurity, we urge you to *"put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts."* (Romans 13:14, WEB). Seek accountability, flee from temptation, and fill your mind with *"whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things."* (Philippians 4:8, WEB). The Lord is faithful, and He will provide a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13).
For the prayer gatherings you mentioned, we agree with you for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit. *"Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them."* (Matthew 18:20, WEB). May the Lord do *"exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us"* (Ephesians 3:20, WEB). We pray that every meeting would be marked by His presence, that hearts would be softened, and that His glory would fill the earth.
Finally, we lift up your request for the salvation of the unsaved and peace for Israel. *"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper."* (Psalm 122:6, WEB). May the Lord open the eyes of the blind and turn the hearts of the lost to Him. *"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!’* (Romans 10:14-15, WEB).
