We join with you in lifting these heartfelt requests before the Lord, knowing that He hears and answers the prayers of His people when we come to Him in faith through Jesus Christ. It is powerful to see your heart for others, your burden for the lost, and your desire for God’s will to be done. We also notice that you have used placeholders where names should be—let us encourage you to boldly bring these specific names before the Lord in prayer, for He knows each one intimately and calls us to intercede by name when possible.
First, we must address that while your prayer is earnest, it does not explicitly invoke the name of Jesus Christ in the way Scripture commands. 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). There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father (Acts 4:12; Ephesians 2:18). We rejoice that you closed with thanks to *"Lord Jesus,"* but let us always be intentional in praying *in His name*, for it is by His authority and merit that our prayers are heard.
Now, let us turn to the matters you’ve brought before the Lord. You have asked for **protection and breakthrough**—a cry that resonates deeply with the promises of God. The Lord is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We pray that the Lord would surround you and all who are in need with His mighty angels, that He would be a wall of fire around you (Zechariah 2:5), and that every scheme of the enemy would be exposed and shattered. May the Lord grant breakthroughs in every area where the enemy has sought to hinder—spiritually, emotionally, physically, and relationally. We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the Lord will make a way where there seems to be no way.
You have also asked for **wisdom concerning a decision**. The book of James tells us, *"Now 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"* (James 1:5, WEB). We pray that the Lord would grant you divine wisdom, that He would make His will clear to you through His Word, the counsel of godly believers, and the peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). Do not lean on your own understanding, but in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). We also encourage you to seek the Lord in fasting and prayer if this decision is weighty, for there is power in humbling yourself before Him (Matthew 6:16-18).
Regarding the **conflict with a sister in Christ**, we are reminded of Jesus’ words in Matthew 18:15: *"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."* Conflict among believers is an opportunity for sanctification and reconciliation. We pray that the Lord would give you a spirit of humility and grace as you address this matter. Search your own heart first to ensure there is no log in your eye (Matthew 7:5), and then approach her in love, speaking the truth in gentleness (Ephesians 4:15). If she is unresponsive, involve a mature believer or church leadership as a next step (Matthew 18:16-17). We also pray that the Lord would convict her heart if she is in the wrong, and that He would bring healing and restoration to your relationship. *"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:32, WEB).
You have mentioned a deep burden for **those who are fueling evil behaviors**, including a plea for their salvation. This is the heart of Christ, who prayed for His persecutors, *"Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing"* (Luke 23:34, WEB). We pray that the Lord would confront the evil at work in these situations—whether it be deception, bitterness, or rebellion—and that He would bring conviction leading to repentance. May the Holy Spirit open their eyes to their need for Jesus, for *"there is no one righteous; no, not one"* (Romans 3:10, WEB), and all must come to the foot of the cross. We also pray for healing for those who have been hurt by their actions, that the Lord would bind up their wounds and restore what has been broken (Psalm 147:3).
Your heart for **persecuted Christians, the unsaved, Israel, and those suffering in war zones and calamities** reflects the compassion of our Savior. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and He has not forgotten those who are suffering. We pray for supernatural protection over persecuted believers, that they would stand firm in their faith even in the face of trials (1 Peter 5:9). We pray for the salvation of the lost, that the Lord would send laborers into the harvest (Matthew 9:38) and that hearts would be softened to receive the Gospel. For Israel, we pray for peace and for the Jewish people to recognize their Messiah, Jesus Christ (Romans 11:25-27). And for those in war zones and disasters, we ask the Lord to be their provider, healer, and comforter, that His name would be glorified even in the midst of suffering.
You have also asked for **the Lord’s anointing on outreaches and services**. *"Unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). We pray that the Holy Spirit would go before you, preparing hearts to receive the Word. May the Lord grant you boldness to proclaim the Gospel without fear (Acts 4:29), and may His power be evident through signs, wonders, and transformed lives. *"My speech and my preaching were not in persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith wouldn’t stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God"* (1 Corinthians 2:4-5, WEB).
Finally, you have asked for **help in weakness, at work, and in doing all things in a manner pleasing to the Lord**. *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13, WEB). We pray that the Lord would be your strength in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9), that He would grant you favor in your workplace, and that your work would be done as unto Him (Colossians 3:23). May you walk in integrity and excellence, that others would see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16).

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears and answers prayer, who sees the afflicted and delivers them, who is mighty to save. Lord, we lift up our sister who has poured out her heart before You, and we ask that You would meet her in every need.
We pray for **extraordinary protection and breakthrough**—Lord, be a shield around her, her loved ones, and all who are in need. Break every chain of the enemy, Lord, and let Your light shine in the darkness. Grant wisdom for the decisions before her, that she would discern Your will clearly and walk in obedience. Anoint every outreach and service planned, Lord; let Your Spirit move powerfully, drawing many to Yourself.
Father, we ask for reconciliation and healing in the conflict with her sister in Christ. Soften hearts, Lord, and bring conviction where needed. Let forgiveness and unity prevail, for Your glory. We also lift up those who are fueling evil—confront them, Lord, and bring them to repentance. Save them, Father, for Your mercy endures forever.
We intercede for the persecuted, the lost, Israel, and those suffering in war and calamity. Be their refuge, Lord. Comfort, provide, and save. Raise up laborers for the harvest, and let Your name be exalted among the nations.
Strengthen our sister in her weakness, Lord. Grant her favor at work, and help her to do all things in a manner pleasing to You. Heal the sick, Lord, and restore the broken. Let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
We thank You, Father, that You are able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Fill the earth with Your glory, Lord. May Your kingdom come, and Your will be done. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Col 1:9-12: "We keep asking to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father". ... I pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
