We come before the Father in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up your heartfelt cries and intercessions, knowing that He hears and answers according to His perfect will. Your request is filled with a deep burden for protection, breakthrough, healing, and the resolution of conflicts—both seen and unseen. We join you in these petitions, standing in the gap for those you’ve mentioned, including the persecuted, the unsaved, the broken, and those trapped in sin. The Lord is near to all who call upon Him in truth (Psalm 145:18), and we trust Him to move powerfully in every situation you’ve laid before Him.
First, we must address something vital: the name of Jesus is the *only* name by which we are saved, and it is the *only* name through which we have access to the Father. You closed your prayer with gratitude to "Lord Jesus," and we rejoice in this, for Scripture declares, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Too often, prayers are offered without acknowledging Jesus as the sole mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5). It is only through Him that our petitions reach the throne of grace, and it is by His authority that demons flee, strongholds crumble, and hearts are transformed. We encourage you to always approach the Father *in Jesus’ name*, for apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5).
Now, let us turn to the specific burdens you’ve shared. You’ve asked for **extra-strong protection and breakthrough** for yourself and others. The Lord is your shield and fortress (Psalm 91:2), and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We declare His protection over you, your loved ones, and all who are in need, especially those suffering in war zones, under persecution, or from abuse. *"The Lord will rescue me from every evil work, and will preserve me for his heavenly Kingdom; to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen"* (2 Timothy 4:18, WEB). We pray that the blood of Jesus would be a hedge of protection around each one, and that the enemy’s plans would be exposed and thwarted.
You’ve also lifted up **conflicts—both remembered and forgotten**—and asked for conviction and resolution. Conflict often arises from unforgiveness, pride, or unrepentant sin. Scripture commands us: *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18, WEB). We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict hearts, soften resistance, and bring godly repentance where needed. For those you’ve mentioned by name (represented here as ###), we ask the Lord to **severely confront evil** in their lives—not to destroy, but to *save*. *"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 through hardness of heart and draw each one to Himself. We also pray for **healing**—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—for those you’ve named, that the Lord would restore them quickly and remove every burden (Matthew 11:28).
Regarding your **work, team, and meetings**, we ask the Lord to grant you wisdom from above (James 1:5), favor in your tasks, and unity among your team. *"Unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). May your work be done *for His glory*, and may He anoint your hands and mind to accomplish all that He has called you to. We also lift up your **prayer gatherings**, asking that the Holy Spirit would move in power, binding every distracting spirit and igniting a fire of intercession that cannot be quenched.
You’ve mentioned **outreaches and services**, and we declare the Lord’s anointing over every planned event. *"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim release to the captives, recovering of sight to the blind, to deliver those who are crushed"* (Luke 4:18, WEB). May souls be saved, chains broken, and lives transformed as the Gospel goes forth in power.
Finally, we must address the **unsaved and the persecuted Church**. The harvest is plentiful, and we pray for laborers to be sent (Matthew 9:37-38). For those trapped in sin—whether in homosexuality, adultery, fornication, or any rebellion against God—we declare the convicting power of the Holy Spirit to bring them to repentance. *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, WEB). Yet the good news is that *"such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God"* (1 Corinthians 6:11, WEB). We pray for salvation to flood every heart turned toward Christ.
For persecuted believers, we ask for supernatural strength, comfort, and provision. *"Blessed are those who have been persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven"* (Matthew 5:10, WEB). May they stand firm, knowing their reward is great in heaven.
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up these petitions with boldness and faith. You are the God who sees, who hears, and who acts. We ask for **divine protection** over Your people—shield them from the evil one, hide them under the shadow of Your wings, and let no harm come near their dwelling. Break through every stronghold, Lord, and bring **deliverance** to the captives. Convict hearts, resolve conflicts, and heal every wound—physical, emotional, and spiritual.
For the **unsaved**, we pray for a Damascus Road encounter with Jesus. Blind their eyes to the lies of the enemy and open them to the truth of the Gospel. For those in **sinful relationships**—whether fornication, adultery, or homosexuality—we pray for radical repentance and a turning to Your design for marriage and purity. Let no one be deceived, Lord, but may Your Word pierce hearts and lead many to salvation.
Anoint the **outreaches and services** planned, Lord. Let Your Spirit move mightily, drawing souls to Christ. Grant wisdom, unity, and favor in the workplace, and let every meeting be directed by You. We pray for **Israel**—guard her, Lord, and bring peace to Jerusalem. Comfort the **abused, the orphaned, and the widow**, and let Your justice roll like a river.
Father, we ask that You would **answer every deleted prayer**—those cries You’ve heard that have not been seen by others. You store our tears in a bottle (Psalm 56:8); not one petition is forgotten by You. Move on behalf of Your people, Lord, and let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
We thank You, Jesus, that You are able to do **exceedingly, abundantly above all we ask or think** (Ephesians 3:20). Fill the earth with Your glory, Lord, and let Your Kingdom come in power. We ask all this in the precious name of **Jesus Christ**, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
