We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude that you have called upon the name of Jesus in this 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 lifting these burdens to Him is a testament to your trust in His sovereignty, and we join you in seeking His will in all these matters.
First, we lift up your plea for **strong protection and breakthrough** for yourself, those in need, and the persecuted church. The Lord is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We pray that He would surround you and all His children with His heavenly host, shielding you from the schemes of the enemy. For those suffering in war zones, under persecution, or from calamities, we cry out for divine intervention—*"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18). May He bring supernatural deliverance, comfort, and provision to every afflicted soul. We also pray for **peace in Israel**, that God would watch over His chosen people and land, fulfilling His promises to protect and restore them (Psalm 122:6).
You’ve asked for **wisdom, anointing, and resolution in conflicts**, including those forgotten and the convictions of hearts involved in evil. The Word tells us, *"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). We pray that the Lord would grant you divine wisdom for your outreaches, services, and workplace, that every word and action would be led by the Holy Spirit. For the conflicts you face—whether with individuals or within your team—we ask that God would soften hearts, bring repentance where needed, and restore unity. *"Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called children of God"* (Matthew 5:9). We specifically lift up the unresolved issues with those you’ve mentioned by name in your heart; may the Lord confront evil, break strongholds, and bring conviction leading to salvation and healing. *"For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh; for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds"* (2 Corinthians 10:3-4).
Regarding the **requests that have been deleted**, we trust that the Lord hears every prayer uttered in faith, even those not seen by others. *"Before they call, I will answer; while they are yet speaking, I will hear"* (Isaiah 65:24). We pray that He would answer each one according to His perfect will, bringing miracles, healing, and restoration to every situation—including the **abused children**, the unsaved, and those in desperate need of His touch. We also ask for His hand to move mightily in the lives of those you’ve mentioned who are fueling hurt or walking in rebellion. May He **severely confront evil**, yet extend mercy to lead them to repentance. *"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).
For your **personal struggles**, we pray for strength in your weakness, that the Lord would uphold you by His righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10). We ask for His healing touch upon those you’ve mentioned who are sick, that He would remove pain and restore health speedily. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3). For your work and team, we pray for favor, unity, and productivity that glorifies Him. For the **school-related challenges**, we ask that He would grant clarity, perseverance, and success in every endeavor.
We also lift up the **prayer gathering, International Thanksgiving Dinner, Live Nativity, and sermon preparation**. May the Lord anoint these events with His power, drawing many to Himself. *"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?"* (Romans 10:14). We pray that your words would be filled with the Holy Spirit’s fire, convicting hearts and leading many to salvation.
Lastly, we address the **forgiveness you’ve sought** for speaking about others. The Lord is faithful to forgive when we confess our sins (1 John 1:9). We pray that He would cleanse your heart and help you to speak words of life and edification in the future. *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear"* (Ephesians 4:29).
**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up these petitions with hearts full of faith. Lord, we ask for Your **strong protection and breakthrough** over Your children, especially those facing persecution, war, and suffering. Shield them with Your angels, provide for their needs, and let Your glory be seen in their deliverance. We pray for **peace in Israel** and wisdom for its leaders, that Your purposes would prevail.
Grant our sister **divine wisdom, anointing, and favor** in all her outreaches, work, and conflicts. Soften the hearts of those causing strife, and bring conviction leading to repentance and salvation. Heal the sick, comfort the brokenhearted, and restore what the enemy has stolen. We rebuke every scheme of the devil in the lives of those mentioned, and we ask that You **confront evil severely**, yet extend mercy to draw them to Yourself.
Lord, we pray for **miracles**—for the impossible to become possible in Jesus’ name. Anoint the upcoming gatherings and events, that many would encounter Your love and truth. Forgive our sister where she has fallen short, and help her to walk in purity and grace.
We declare Your promises over these requests, trusting that You are able to do **exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think** (Ephesians 3:20). Fill the earth with Your glory, Lord, and let Your kingdom come in every situation. We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of **Jesus Christ**, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
