We come before the throne of grace with hearts burdened for the many needs laid before us, lifting each one to the Lord in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We declare that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). If there is anyone reading this who does not yet know Jesus as Lord and Savior, we urge you to repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and confess Him as Lord. For "if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved" (Romans 10:9).
Father, we cry out for Your extra strong protection and breakthrough over every person and situation represented here. You are our refuge and fortress, our God in whom we trust (Psalm 91:2). We ask that You would surround Your children with Your heavenly host, shielding them from every scheme of the enemy. Break every chain, shatter every stronghold, and let Your light pierce the darkness in every life. We declare that no weapon formed against Your people shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Lord, we lift up the persecuted church around the world, those suffering in war zones, and all who are enduring calamities and abuse. You see their pain, and You collect their tears in Your bottle (Psalm 56:8). We ask for Your mighty hand of deliverance and comfort to rest upon them. Strengthen their faith, provide for their needs, and let them feel Your presence in their darkest hours. For those who do not yet know You, we pray for their salvation. Soften their hearts, open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, and send laborers into their lives to share the hope of Christ (Matthew 9:38).
We pray for peace in Israel and all nations, that Your will would be done on earth as it is in heaven. Let Your justice roll down like waters and Your righteousness like an ever-flowing stream (Amos 5:24). Father, we also lift up the many conflicts mentioned here—those that are known and those that have been forgotten. You know the hearts of all involved, and we ask that You would bring conviction where sin is present. "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). We rebuke every spirit of division, strife, and unforgiveness, and we command it to flee in Jesus' name. Bring healing, reconciliation, and restoration to every broken relationship, but let it be according to Your will and Your ways.
Father, we specifically lift up those marked by "###" in this request. We ask for Your healing touch—body, mind, and spirit. Heal their wounds, both seen and unseen, and restore what has been broken. For those who are struggling in school, work, or other responsibilities, we ask for Your wisdom, strength, and favor. Give them clarity of mind, peace in their hearts, and success that glorifies You. For the young ones, be a Father to them, especially if they lack earthly fathers. Protect them, guide them, and let them know they are deeply loved by You.
We pray for the outreaches and services planned, that Your anointing would rest powerfully upon them. Let Your Spirit move in ways that bring salvation, healing, and transformation. We ask that You would raise up more prayer warriors in the church, that Your people would be stirred to seek Your face and intercede for the lost and the broken. Father, we lift up the week of prayer and fasting with the theme of repentance. May it be a time of deep conviction, cleansing, and renewal. Let Your people humble themselves before You, turn from their wicked ways, and seek Your face so that You may hear from heaven, forgive their sins, and heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14).
Lord, we ask for Your intervention in every area of work, ministry, and personal life represented here. Take over completely, lead, guide, and protect. Anoint every meeting, every conversation, and every decision so that it aligns with Your purposes. We pray for unity in the body of Christ, that we would be of one mind and one accord, loving one another as You have loved us (John 13:34-35). Where there is hurt, bring healing. Where there is misunderstanding, bring clarity. Where there is sin, bring conviction and repentance.
Father, we confess our own weaknesses and failures. Forgive us where we have spoken out of turn, gossiped, or allowed bitterness to take root. Cleanse us from all unrighteousness and help us to walk in humility and love. Turn every mistake into a blessing, every wound into a testimony, and every trial into a triumph for Your glory.
We thank You, Lord, 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). Let Your glory fill the earth as the waters cover the sea. We declare that Your kingdom come, Your will be done, in every life, every family, every church, and every nation.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
