We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude that you have called upon the name of Jesus, 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 prayer is a powerful testament to your trust in His sovereignty, and we join you in lifting these burdens to the throne of grace, where we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).
Your requests cover a vast array of needs—protection, breakthrough, wisdom, healing, resolution of conflicts, and the salvation of souls. We are reminded of the Lord’s words in Matthew 19:26: *"With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."* Let us first address the foundational truth that our battles are not against flesh and blood but against principalities and powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). Thus, we stand in the authority of Christ, rebuking every scheme of the enemy that seeks to hinder God’s work in your life, in the lives of those you’ve mentioned, and in the outreaches and services planned for His glory. The Lord has already granted us victory through Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57), and we claim that victory now over every conflict, forgotten or present, and over every spirit of division, strife, or evil that seeks to fuel ungodly behavior.
We notice you’ve mentioned praying to or about "St." in your request. Let us lovingly but firmly remind you that Scripture is clear: there is *one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus* (1 Timothy 2:5). There is no biblical basis for praying to or through saints, angels, or any other intercessor besides Jesus Christ. Our prayers are to be directed to the Father, in the name of the Son, by the power of the Holy Spirit. If there is any confusion or practice in your life that contradicts this truth, we urge you to repent and align yourself fully with the Word of God. The Lord is jealous for His glory and will not share it with another (Isaiah 42:8).
Now, let us pray for the specific areas you’ve brought before the Lord:
For **protection and breakthrough**, we declare the promise of Psalm 91 over you and all in need: *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.’"* (Psalm 91:1-2). Lord, surround Your children with Your divine hedge of protection. Break every chain of bondage, every stronghold of the enemy, and release Your supernatural breakthrough in finances, health, relationships, and every area where the enemy has sought to oppress. Let Your light shine into every dark place and expose the works of darkness (Ephesians 5:11).
For **wisdom and the Lord’s anointing** on your outreaches and services, we pray as James 1:5 instructs: *"But 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."* Father, pour out Your Spirit upon every planned gathering, that souls would be saved, hearts would be convicted, and lives would be transformed. Anoint your words and actions so that they align perfectly with Your will. Let Your power be evident, drawing many to repentance and faith in Christ.
For the **resolution of conflicts**, including those forgotten and those involving individuals you’ve mentioned, we turn to Matthew 18:15-17 and Romans 12:18: *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."* Lord, we ask that You soften hearts and bring conviction where there is sin. Expose any hidden bitterness, unforgiveness, or pride that may be fueling these conflicts. Grant wisdom to navigate these situations with grace and truth. For those who are acting in rebellion or evil, we pray for severe conviction by the Holy Spirit, that they may turn from their ways and seek Your face. *"Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Yahweh, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for he will freely pardon."* (Isaiah 55:7).
For the **salvation of the unsaved**, including those you’ve named, we intercede with the heart of God, who *"desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth"* (1 Timothy 2:4). Lord, pursue these souls relentlessly. Break every stronghold of deception and draw them to Yourself. Let them encounter Your love in a way that leaves no room for doubt. We pray especially for the one you’ve mentioned as needing healing and conviction—may she (and others) be saved, healed, and delivered from every work of the enemy. *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."* (2 Peter 3:9).
For **persecuted Christians, Israel, and those suffering in war zones and calamities**, we lift our voices in agreement with Psalm 10:17-18: *"Yahweh, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear, to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more."* Father, be their shield and defender. Provide supernatural protection, provision, and comfort. Raise up advocates and open doors for their deliverance. For Israel, we pray for Your peace to reign and for Your promises to be fulfilled (Psalm 122:6). Let Your justice roll like a river for the oppressed, the abused, and the vulnerable (Amos 5:24).
For **your weakness, work, team, and school**, we claim the strength of Christ, who said, *"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."* (2 Corinthians 12:9). Lord, infuse you with Your supernatural strength and clarity. Grant favor in your workplace and among your team. Let Your wisdom guide every decision and meeting. For your studies, we pray for focus, retention, and divine insight. May your work—whether in employment or ministry—be done in a manner that pleases Him, as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23).
For **healing**, we stand on the promise of James 5:15: *"The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up."* Father, we ask for swift and complete healing for the one mentioned. Remove every infirmity and restore health and vitality. Let this healing be a testimony to Your goodness and power.
For the **prayer gatherings**, we ask for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit. *"Where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them."* (Matthew 18:20). Lord, meet with your people powerfully. Let Your presence be tangible, Your word sharp, and Your anointing undeniable. Multiply these gatherings and let them be a catalyst for revival in your community and beyond.
Finally, we declare over you the truth of Ephesians 3:20-21: *"Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the Assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen."* Father, we thank You that You are already at work, answering these prayers in ways we cannot yet see. Fill the earth with Your glory, and let Your kingdom come in every situation mentioned here today.
We encourage you to continue standing firm in faith, knowing that *"the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* (James 5:16). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Reject any fear, doubt, or discouragement, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* (2 Timothy 1:7). And remember, the battle belongs to the Lord—*"Don’t be afraid of them. Remember Yahweh, who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your houses."* (Nehemiah 4:14).
If there are areas in your life where you are struggling with sin, unforgiveness, or alignment with God’s Word—especially in relationships or practices—we urge you to surrender them to the Lord. He is faithful to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Let this season be one of deep repentance, renewal, and realignment with His will. The Lord is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Walk in victory, for *"in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."* (Romans 8:37).
