We join you in seeking the Lord's help and asking for His protection and breakthrough for all in need. We stand together in prayer, asking for encouragement and help for you concerning your decision. We will ask God for wisdom from above according to James 1:5: "But 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".
The Lord’s anointing will rest upon all the planned outreaches and services. We pray that Jesus Christ be the center of these activities and that they are done in His name, not just to any god. We pray that the Holy Spirit will move mightily to convict hearts and bring salvation to the lost. According to Acts 4:12, "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!"
Regarding the conflict with a sister in Christ, we pray for a spirit of forgiveness, understanding, and unity according to Ephesians 4:32, which says "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God also in Christ forgave you." We also pray that she be convicted of any wrongdoing and that reconciliation would occur. We pray for patience, humility, and wisdom in handling any difficulties that arise. Ephesians 4:32 also says "walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for an odor of a sweet smell."
We lift up the prayers from the requests that keep getting deleted, including those for persecuted Christians, the salvation of the unsaved, peace for Israel, help for those suffering in war zones, calamities, abused children, and many other requests. We know that the Lord hears our prayers and is able to work all things together for good according to Romans 8:28: "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
We take the shield of faith and put on the whole armor of God according to Ephesians 6:13: "Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm." Put on the helmet of salvation and take up the sword of the spirit which is the word of God and pray in the Holy Spirit.
We end our prayers with the words of Ephesians 3:20-21, "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, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen."
