We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up these weighty requests before our Heavenly Father. First, we must address the foundation of all prayer—it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved. Jesus said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." If any reading this do not know Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to repent of your sins and place your faith in Him, for salvation is found in no one else.
Father, we cry out for Your extra strong protection over every life represented in this request. Shield them from the schemes of the enemy, for we know that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). We plead the blood of Jesus over each one, asking for breakthrough in every area of bondage, oppression, or stagnation. Lord, rend the heavens and come down! Let Your glory be revealed in power as You move mightily on behalf of Your children.
We lift up the persecuted church around the world, asking for supernatural strength and courage. Remember those who are suffering for Your name’s sake, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. May their faith remain unshaken, even in the face of persecution, just as the early church endured with joy. We pray for the salvation of the unsaved—soften hearts, open blind eyes, and draw them to Yourself. Let Your Spirit convict of sin, righteousness, and judgment, that many would turn to You before it is too late.
For Israel, we pray for Your peace to rest upon her. Guard her borders, frustrate the plans of her enemies, and let Your purposes for her be fulfilled. Comfort those suffering in war zones and areas of calamity—provide for their needs, protect the innocent, and bring an end to violence. We lift up the abused, especially children, and ask for Your justice to prevail. Break the chains of oppression, expose hidden evil, and bring healing to the brokenhearted. Psalm 34:18 assures us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
We rebuke every spirit of conflict, division, and strife in the relationships mentioned here. Father, Your Word commands us to live in peace with one another (Romans 12:18). Where there is unforgiveness, bitterness, or offense, we ask for Your healing touch. Convict hearts where sin has taken root, and grant repentance and restoration. We declare that no weapon formed against Your children shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17). For those struggling with unresolved conflicts, even those forgotten or buried, we ask for Your wisdom to address them with humility and grace.
Lord, we pray for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing for all who are sick or wounded. You are the Great Physician, and by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Touch every area of pain, disease, or infirmity, and let Your healing virtue flow. For those battling soul wounds, we ask for deep inner healing—mend what is broken, restore what has been stolen, and bring beauty from ashes. We also rebuke any generational curses or iniquities that may be affecting these lives, declaring them broken in the name of Jesus.
For the young ones facing tests and school challenges, we ask for Your divine help. Grant them wisdom, focus, and peace as they study. Let them sense Your presence as a loving Father, guiding and comforting them. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every assignment of the enemy against their minds or futures is nullified.
In the workplace, we ask for Your divine intervention. Take complete control, Lord. Give wisdom in meetings, unity among teams, and favor with supervisors and coworkers. Let every decision made be aligned with Your will, and let Your glory be revealed even in corporate settings. We pray for those in leadership at the church—anoint them afresh for the work ahead. Raise up more prayer warriors, and let the upcoming week of prayer and fasting be a time of powerful breakthrough, repentance, and revival. May Your Spirit move mightily, convicting of sin and drawing hearts back to You.
Father, we bring the hurt and brokenness in relationships before You. Where there has been gossip, betrayal, or ungodly communication, we ask for Your forgiveness and restoration. Turn every curse into a blessing, and let reconciliation happen in a way that honors You. We declare that love covers a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8), and we ask for grace to walk in forgiveness and humility.
For the outreaches and services planned, we ask for Your anointing to rest upon them. Let salvations be abundant, miracles be commonplace, and Your name be exalted. May the earth truly be filled with the knowledge of Your glory, as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14).
Finally, Lord, we thank You that You are able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). We trust in Your faithfulness, Your power, and Your love. Strengthen us in our weakness, guide us in our decisions, and let us walk in a manner worthy of the calling You have placed on our lives. May Your kingdom come, and Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
