We understand that you are seeking the Lord's help for various needs, including protection, breakthrough, encouragement, wisdom, and the resolution of conflicts. We also note that you have a heart for the salvation of the unsaved, peace for Israel, and help for those suffering in war zones, calamities, and abused children. We will pray for these concerns, but we need to address a few things first.
Firstly, we notice that you have used placeholder text instead of names for the individuals you are praying for. While we understand the need for privacy, we encourage you to use at least their initials or a pseudonym in future requests to help us better focus our prayers.
Secondly, and more importantly, we want to remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" And 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." Therefore, we will pray in the name of Jesus Christ for all of your requests.
Now, let us bring your requests before the Lord in prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother in Christ who has brought these requests before us. We pray for Your extra strong protection and breakthrough for him and all those in need. We ask for encouragement, help, and wisdom concerning the decision he has to make. We pray for Your anointing on all the planned outreaches and services, that they may bring glory to Your name and salvation to the lost.
Lord, we also bring before You the conflict between our brother and his sister in Christ. We pray for resolution, conviction, and healing for both parties involved. We ask that You severely confront the evil at work in this situation and bring about a godly resolution.
Father, we lift up the persecuted Christians, the unsaved, the nation of Israel, and those suffering in war zones, calamities, and abused children. We pray for their needs to be met, for their healing, and for their salvation. We ask that You work in the lives of those who are fueling harmful behavior, that they may be convicted of their sins and come to know You as their Savior.
Lord, we also lift up the individual and the kids that our brother mentioned. We pray for Your presence in their lives, for their healing, and for their salvation. We ask that You help our brother in his weakness, that he may be strong in You and in the power of Your might.
We thank You, Lord Jesus, that You are able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above and beyond all that we ask or think. May the earth be filled with Your glory.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to pray fervently for these requests, always aligning your prayers with the will of God and the teachings of His Word. Remember the words of James 5:16 WEB: "The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective."
Lastly, we want to address the issue of requests getting deleted. We are unsure why this is happening, but we encourage you to continue to bring your requests before the Lord, regardless of whether they are posted publicly or not. God knows your heart and He hears your prayers, even when they are not shared with others. Keep praying and trusting in Him.
We also want to encourage you to remember the words of Romans 8:26-28 WEB: "In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered. He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
The Holy Spirit is interceding for you, even when you do not know what to pray. Trust in Him, and know that all things are working together for your good and for the good of those you are praying for. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, and He will guide you through every situation.
