We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude that you have acknowledged the name of Jesus Christ in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. 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). Your faith in calling upon the name of Jesus is a testament to your trust in His power, and we join you in lifting these burdens to Him, knowing that He is able to do *"exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us"* (Ephesians 3:20, WEB).
Your request is filled with a deep longing for God’s protection, breakthrough, and healing—not just for yourself, but for many others, including the persecuted, the unsaved, and those trapped in conflict or sin. This selfless heart reflects the love of Christ, who intercedes for us even now at the right hand of the Father. We are also moved by your passion for outreach, for the anointing of services, and for the resolution of conflicts—both those remembered and those forgotten. The Lord sees your labor in prayer and your desire to see His kingdom advance. *"The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB), and we trust that He is moving mightily in response to your cries.
Yet we must also address something with love and urgency: you have referenced individuals by the symbol **"###"** in place of their names, and in some cases, you have asked the Lord to *"severely confront"* and convict them of evil. While we understand the pain and frustration that may lie behind these requests—especially if you are dealing with unrepentant sin, abuse, or opposition—we must remind you of the biblical call to pray for your enemies and those who persecute you. Jesus commands us, *"But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you"* (Matthew 5:44, WEB). This does not mean ignoring sin or failing to seek justice, but it does mean entrusting vengeance to the Lord (Romans 12:19) while praying for their repentance and salvation. If there are specific sins—such as abuse, manipulation, or ungodly behavior—you may boldly ask the Lord to expose and rebuke them, but always with a heart that longs for their redemption. *"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).
We also notice your plea for healing for someone (again marked as **"###"**) and your request to *"take away the b/w."* If by this you mean a burden, a struggle with black-and-white thinking, or even a spiritual stronghold, we lift this up with you, asking the Lord to bring clarity, peace, and complete healing. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28, WEB). If this refers to something else, we encourage you to be specific in prayer, for the Lord knows the details already, and speaking them aloud can bring freedom (James 5:16).
Regarding your work, your team, and the upcoming meetings (including the one on Monday/Tuesday and the devotional time), we declare *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your thoughts will be established"* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). The Lord is your strength, and He will guide you in wisdom as you seek to honor Him in all you do. For the sermon this Sunday, we pray that the Holy Spirit would fill you with boldness and anointing, that the Word would go forth with power, and that hearts would be transformed. *"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your heart to the Lord"* (Colossians 3:16, WEB).
For the persecuted Christians, the unsaved, the abused children, and those suffering in war zones, we stand with you in intercession. The Lord hears their cries, and He will act. *"The Lord also will be a high tower for the oppressed; a high tower in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9, WEB). We pray for supernatural protection, for the salvation of souls, and for the peace of Jerusalem, as Scripture commands (Psalm 122:6). May the Lord raise up advocates, provide refuge, and bring justice where there is oppression.
For the conflicts you mentioned—both remembered and forgotten—we ask the Lord to bring resolution, conviction where needed, and reconciliation where possible. *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18, WEB). If there are forgotten conflicts, we pray the Holy Spirit would bring them to light so that forgiveness and restoration can take place.
Lastly, we sense a deep weariness in your words—*"help me in my weakness."* Beloved, the Lord sees you, and His strength is made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). You are not alone in this battle. Lean on Him, and let His people surround you in support. *"Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved"* (Psalm 55:22, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who has poured out their heart before You. Lord, You are the God who hears, who sees, and who acts. We ask for Your **extra-strong protection** to surround them and all who are in need—a hedge of fire that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Break through every stronghold, every delay, and every scheme of the enemy. Let Your light expose darkness, and let Your truth prevail in every situation.
For the conflicts—both known and forgotten—we ask for Your wisdom and Your peace. Convict hearts where there is sin, Lord, but let it lead to repentance and restoration. Soften the hardest hearts, especially those who may be fueling strife or walking in rebellion. We pray for **"###"** and all others mentioned—Lord, confront the evil, but do so with the goal of salvation. Heal the broken, bind up the wounded, and let Your hand be heavy upon them until they turn to You. May they encounter Your love in a way that shatters their resistance.
For the outreaches, the services, and the prayer gatherings, we ask for a **fresh anointing** of Your Holy Spirit. Let Your fire fall, Lord. Let every word spoken be saturated with Your power, and let souls be drawn to Christ. Prepare the hearts of those who will hear the sermon this Sunday—let it be a divine appointment for breakthrough.
We lift up the persecuted church, the unsaved, the abused, and those in war zones. Lord, be their **shield and their exceeding great reward** (Genesis 15:1). Provide miraculously for their needs, rescue them from evil, and let Your peace that surpasses understanding guard their hearts. Bring salvation to the lost, Father—draw them by Your love.
For our brother/sister’s **weakness**, we ask for Your strength. Renew their mind, body, and spirit. Help them at work, unite their team, and let Your favor rest upon every meeting. Grant them wisdom beyond their own understanding, and let Your presence go before them.
We declare healing over **"###"**—touch their body, mind, and spirit. Remove every burden, every confusion, every stronghold of the enemy. Let Your healing virtue flow, Lord.
For the school, the children, and every area of need mentioned, we ask for Your divine intervention. Let Your glory be seen in every answer to prayer.
Father, we thank You that You are able to do **exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think**. Fill the earth with Your glory. Let Your kingdom come, and Your will be done, in every life, every home, and every nation.
We pray all this in the **powerful name of Jesus Christ**, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
