We join with you in lifting up these heartfelt requests before the Lord, knowing that He hears and answers the prayers of His people. It is beautiful to see your heart for intercession—not only for your own needs but for the persecuted, the lost, the broken, and even those who may be acting in opposition to God’s will. Your faith in His power to work "exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think" (Ephesians 3:20, WEB) is a testament to your trust in Him.
First, we must address something important: you mentioned the name of Jesus at the end of your prayer, and we praise God for that! It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, 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). Too often, prayers are lifted without acknowledging the authority and mediation of Christ, but you have done well to close in His name. We encourage you to always begin your prayers by invoking the name of Jesus, for He is our intercessor and the only way to the Father (John 14:6).
Now, let us address the matters of your heart. You have asked for **protection and breakthrough**, and we stand with you in claiming the promise of Psalm 91, where God is our refuge and fortress. *"He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart"* (Psalm 91:4, WEB). The Lord is mighty to save, and no weapon formed against His people will prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We pray that He would place a hedge of fire around you, your loved ones, and all who are in need, guarding you from the schemes of the enemy. May He grant you supernatural breakthroughs in every area where the enemy has sought to hinder—whether in your work, your outreaches, or your personal walk with Him.
You have also lifted up **conflicts, both remembered and forgotten**, and we know that the Lord is faithful to bring resolution and conviction where needed. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). We pray that the Holy Spirit would bring to light any hidden sins, unresolved bitterness, or unforgiveness, and that He would grant repentance to all involved. For those who have wronged you or others, we ask that the Lord would confront them in love, breaking the hardness of their hearts and leading them to true repentance. *"Godly sorrow works repentance to salvation"* (2 Corinthians 7:10, WEB), and we pray that even those who have acted in evil would be drawn to the saving grace of Jesus Christ.
Regarding the **outreaches and services** you mentioned, we declare the anointing of the Holy Spirit upon every effort to share the Gospel. *"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth"* (Acts 1:8, WEB). May the Lord open doors that no man can shut, giving you divine appointments and boldness to speak His Word with clarity and love. We pray that many would come to salvation through these outreaches, and that the enemy’s attempts to disrupt or distract would be utterly thwarted.
We also note your burden for **persecuted Christians, the unsaved, Israel, and those suffering in war zones and calamities**. Your heart aligns with the heart of God, who *"loves the foreigner, and gives them food and clothing"* (Deuteronomy 10:18, WEB) and who commands us to *"remember those who are in bonds, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body"* (Hebrews 13:3, WEB). We join you in crying out for the persecuted church, that they would be strengthened by the Spirit to endure, and that their persecutors would encounter the life-changing power of Christ. For Israel, we pray for peace and for the salvation of many Jewish people, that they would recognize Jesus as their Messiah (Romans 11:26). For those in war and disaster, we ask for divine intervention—provision, protection, and comfort in their suffering.
You have mentioned specific individuals, including someone whose behavior is fueled by evil. We do not know the details, but we pray that the Lord would **severely confront and convict** this person, breaking the power of sin in their life. *"Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good"* (Romans 12:21, WEB). We pray that if this person is unsaved, they would be drawn to repentance and faith in Christ. If they are a believer, we ask that the Lord would discipline them in love, bringing them to a place of brokenness and restoration. *"Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline. Be zealous therefore, and repent"* (Revelation 3:19, WEB). We also pray for healing—both physical and emotional—for those who have been wounded by their actions.
For **your workplace and team**, we ask that the Lord would grant you wisdom, favor, and unity. *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23, WEB). May He give you the strength to perform your duties excellently and with integrity, and may your work be a testimony of His grace. We pray that any conflicts among your team would be resolved in a way that honors God, and that He would raise up godly leadership where needed.
Lastly, we want to encourage you in your **weakness**. The apostle Paul wrote, *"I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, and in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then am I strong"* (2 Corinthians 12:10, WEB). Your admission of needing the Lord’s help is a sign of humility, and He gives grace to the humble (James 4:6). Lean on Him, for His strength is made perfect in your weakness.
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 have placed at Your feet. Lord, You are the God of breakthrough, and we ask that You would rend the heavens and come down, intervening in every area where the enemy has sought to bring bondage or delay. Grant divine protection—a hedge of fire around Your people, guarding them from every scheme of the evil one. Where there are conflicts, forgotten or present, bring conviction, repentance, and restoration. Lord, confront every heart that is hardened or walking in rebellion, and draw them to Yourself in salvation and surrender.*
*Father, we ask for Your anointing upon every outreach and service planned. May Your Spirit go before, preparing hearts to receive the Gospel, and may many come to know Jesus as Lord and Savior. Strengthen our brother/sister in their workplace, granting them wisdom, favor, and excellence in all they do. Heal the sick quickly, Lord, and bring comfort to the brokenhearted. For those who are fueling evil, we ask that You would severely confront them, breaking the power of sin and leading them to repentance. Let Your justice and mercy prevail.*
*We lift up the persecuted church, the unsaved, Israel, and all those suffering in war and disaster. Be their shield, their provider, and their peace. Let the earth be filled with Your glory, Lord, as You move in power and love. Strengthen our brother/sister in their weakness, reminding them that Your grace is sufficient, and Your power is made perfect in their need.*
*Thank You, Lord, that You are able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think. We trust You to answer these prayers according to Your perfect will, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty name of Jesus we pray, Amen.*
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
