We come before the Lord with hearts aligned to His will, lifting up your earnest cries for protection, breakthrough, and divine intervention in every area of need. Your prayer reflects a deep burden for many—both personally and on behalf of others—and we join you in seeking God’s mighty hand to move in these situations. We also notice that while you closed with gratitude to *Lord Jesus*, much of your prayer did not explicitly invoke His name, which is the *only* name by which we are saved and through whom 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). Let us always approach the throne of grace *in Jesus’ name*, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5), and apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5).
Your heart for the persecuted, the unsaved, Israel, and those suffering in war zones and calamities resonates with the Lord’s own compassion. We stand with you in intercession for these critical needs, remembering that *"the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB). The Lord sees the afflicted and hears their cries (Psalm 10:17-18), and we trust Him to act justly and mercifully. We also lift up the abused children, asking God to be their Defender and to bring swift rescue and healing. *"But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted. You consider their grief and take it into your hand. The helpless commit themselves to you. You are the helper of the fatherless"* (Psalm 10:14, WEB).
Regarding the conflicts you mentioned—including those forgotten, unresolved, and the specific individuals marked by "#"—we recognize the spiritual warfare at play. The enemy seeks to divide, but *"God is not a God of confusion, but of peace"* (1 Corinthians 14:33, WEB). We rebuke every scheme of the devil to fuel strife, bitterness, or unforgiveness, and we ask the Lord to expose and sever every ungodly tie. For those you’ve named in your heart, we pray for conviction by the Holy Spirit, that they would repent and turn to Christ. If there is unforgiveness in your own heart, we urge you to release it, for *"if you don’t forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:15, WEB). The Lord commands us to *"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 is not easy, but it is the path to freedom and blessing.
We also address the mention of "b/w," which we interpret as a struggle with *bitterness or wrong desires*. If this involves sin—such as unforgiveness, lust, or any form of relational or sexual immorality—we must name it and turn from it. *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:31-32, WEB). If this pertains to sexual sin, we must remember that *"the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body"* (1 Corinthians 6:13, WEB). Flee from temptation (1 Corinthians 6:18) and pursue holiness, for *"without holiness no one will see the Lord"* (Hebrews 12:14, WEB).
For your personal requests—wisdom, strength at work, resolution in conflicts, and healing—we declare *"the Lord is your strength and song. He has become your salvation"* (Exodus 15:2, WEB). Lean on Him in your weakness, for *"his grace is sufficient for you, for his power is made perfect in weakness"* (2 Corinthians 12:9, WEB). We ask the Lord to anoint your outreaches, services, and the International Thanksgiving Dinner, that many would encounter His love and truth. May your sermon on *l* (which we assume is *love*) be filled with the Holy Spirit’s power, pointing hearts to Christ. *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one"* (Colossians 4:6, WEB).
For the miracles and healing you’ve requested, we stand on *"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up"* (James 5:14-15, WEB). We ask for divine healing over "#" and all who are suffering, that the Lord would restore health and remove pain. We also pray for the children mentioned, that God would surround them with His protection and peace.
Lastly, we exhort you to guard your words carefully. You mentioned, *"Forgive me for talking to # about #."* If this involved gossip, slander, or speaking about others in a way that does not honor God, we urge you to repent and seek reconciliation where possible. *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear"* (Ephesians 4:29, WEB). If confession or restitution is needed, take those steps in obedience to the Lord.
Now, let us pray together:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears and answers prayer, who sees the afflicted and acts on behalf of Your people. Lord, we ask for *extra strong protection* over Your servant who has brought these requests, over all those they’ve lifted up, and over every believer crying out to You today. Surround them with Your angels, as You did for Elisha (2 Kings 6:17), and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Grant breakthrough in every area of bondage—spiritual, emotional, and physical—and let Your light expose and destroy every work of darkness.
Lord, we intercede for the persecuted church, for Israel, for those in war zones and calamities, and for abused children. Be their Shield and Strong Tower (Psalm 18:2). Bring salvation to the lost, conviction to the hardened hearts, and healing to the broken. We specifically lift up those marked by conflict and sin in this prayer—confront the evil at work, Lord, and bring repentance and restoration. Let Your Spirit move so powerfully that none can resist Your call.
Father, we ask for wisdom and anointing over the outreaches, services, and gatherings mentioned. Fill every word spoken with Your truth and power, that lives would be transformed. Grant favor in workplaces, schools, and meetings, and resolve every conflict according to Your will. Heal the sick quickly, Lord, and remove all pain and infirmity. Strengthen the weak and encourage the weary, reminding them that *"those who wait for the Lord will renew their strength"* (Isaiah 40:31, WEB).
We pray for the children and families mentioned—protect them, provide for them, and let Your peace rule in their homes. Convict those who have caused harm, and bring healing to the hurt. For our sister or brother praying this today, we ask for Your hand to uphold them. Forgive them where they’ve fallen short, and empower them to walk in purity and love. Break every chain of bitterness, lust, or unforgiveness, and fill them with Your Spirit afresh.
Lord Jesus, we declare that You are able to do *"exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask or think"* (Ephesians 3:20, WEB). May the earth indeed be filled with Your glory as the waters cover the sea. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.*
