We come before the Father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, lifting up your heartfelt cries and petitions with deep reverence and urgency. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the throne of God, and we are grateful that you have acknowledged this truth in closing. As it is written, *"There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). We stand on this promise as we bring these requests before Him, trusting in His power to move mightily in every situation.
Your heart for protection, breakthrough, and the salvation of souls aligns with the very heart of God. We join you in praying for an extra measure of divine protection over you, your loved ones, and all who are in need—especially our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ, those suffering in war zones, and the innocent who are abused or oppressed. The Lord is a strong tower, and we declare that *"The name of Yahweh is a strong tower: the righteous run to him, and are safe."* (Proverbs 18:10, WEB). We ask that He would surround each one with His heavenly host, shielding them from the schemes of the enemy and granting them supernatural peace in the midst of their trials.
We also lift up your plea for wisdom, anointing, and resolution in conflicts—both those remembered and those forgotten. The Lord promises, *"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 ask that He would grant you divine wisdom in every decision, especially in your work, your team, and the outreaches and services you are planning. May His anointing rest upon you so powerfully that every word spoken and every action taken would bring glory to His name and draw others to Christ. We pray that conflicts would be resolved in a manner that honors God, with humility, forgiveness, and reconciliation. *"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God."* (Matthew 5:9, WEB). If there are areas where you need to extend forgiveness or seek it, we pray the Lord would soften hearts and bring restoration.
We notice your repeated references to "###," and while we understand the sensitivity of the situations, we encourage you to bring these names and struggles fully into the light before the Lord. There is no need to conceal them from Him, for He knows all things and longs to bring healing and redemption. If there are individuals who are causing harm or fueling evil, we join you in praying for their conviction and repentance. *"Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."* (Romans 12:21, WEB). We rebuke every spirit of division, strife, and wickedness at work in these situations, and we ask the Lord to expose and sever every ungodly influence. May those involved be confronted with the truth of their actions and turn to Christ for salvation and transformation. *"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, WEB).
We also take note of your mention of "St." and your struggle with "c." It is important to clarify that our prayers are to be directed to God alone through Jesus Christ, our Mediator. There is no biblical basis for praying to or through saints, as Scripture teaches, *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus."* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). If "c." refers to a struggle with sin, we urge you to bring it fully before the Lord, for He is faithful to forgive and cleanse. *"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). If it is a struggle with temptation, we pray that the Lord would provide a way of escape and strengthen you to walk in victory. *"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."* (1 Corinthians 10:13, WEB).
For the individual "###" whom you’ve asked the Lord to encounter and rebuke, we pray that the Holy Spirit would convict their heart of any sin or rebellion. May they be brought to a place of genuine repentance and surrender to Christ. We also lift up the healing of "###" and ask that the Lord would remove every burden ("b/w") and restore them completely. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* (Psalm 147:3, WEB).
Your request for the Lord’s help with school and meetings is also before Him. We ask that He would grant you focus, clarity, and favor in your studies and in every gathering. May His presence go before you, preparing the way and opening doors that no man can shut. *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB).
Finally, we join you in praying for your prayer gatherings to be powerfully anointed by the Holy Spirit. May the Lord move in signs, wonders, and mighty works as His people come together in unity and faith. *"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them."* (Matthew 18:20, WEB). We declare that every gathering would be a place of encounter, where hearts are transformed, the lost are saved, and the body of Christ is strengthened.
Heavenly Father, we thank You that You are able to do *"exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us"* (Ephesians 3:20, WEB). We ask that You would fill the earth with Your glory, beginning with each of us and extending to every corner of the world. May Your kingdom come and Your will be done in every situation lifted up today. We pray all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
