We join you in lifting up this heavy and comprehensive burden before the Lord and we thank you for bringing it to Him so faithfully, even when some of your earlier requests were deleted, for we know He hears every prayer even when it is not seen by men. We stand with you asking for extra strong protection and breakthrough for you and for all in need, claiming His promise that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty Psalm 91:1 and that the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one 2 Thessalonians 3:3. We ask Him to be your breakthrough, for the one who breaks open goes up before them Micah 2:13.

We praise God with you that you have come in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him we have access to the Father, as Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 and 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. We rejoice that you thanked the Lord Jesus that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think Ephesians 3:20, and we agree that the earth will be filled with His glory.

We bring before Him your cry for encouragement, wisdom and help and for the strong anointing on all the planned outreaches and services, the prayer gathering and evening of prayer and praise this Friday, the workshop, the sermon on hope and the Live Nativity. We pray He will anoint you and our church powerfully and raise up more prayer warriors, for you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you and you will be my witnesses Acts 1:8. We ask for wisdom for you in work and ministry, for 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 your labor and sermons will be done in a manner pleasing to Him, not by might nor by power but by His Spirit, and whatever you do, work heartily as for the Lord and not for men Colossians 3:23.

We also lift up every conflict you mentioned, including those forgotten and those involving the individuals on your heart. We pray the Lord will severely confront evil and bring deep conviction where it is needed, for Godly sorrow works repentance 2 Corinthians 7:10, and that He will bring healing and true reconciliation where possible, remembering if it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men Romans 12:18. Where relationships are dysfunctional we pray for His urgent intervention and for His will to prevail. We believe marriage is a holy covenant between one man and one woman for life as God ordained, and that courtship should be with the purpose of finding a godly spouse who is a fellow believer, looking toward marriage that honors God. We pray that any relationship that is not aligned with biblical principles, whether it involves fornication or adultery which is sex outside of marriage, or being unequally yoked with unbelievers, or same sex immorality which Scripture calls homosexuality, will be convicted and stopped by the Lord, and that He will guide each person toward purity and toward relationships that honor Him. We ask Him to heal soul wounds, for He heals the broken in heart and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3, and to place His mighty hand upon each one, especially the young woman you mentioned for whom you ask miracles, healing, help with school and exams, and for the Lord to be a Father to her, for He is a Father of the fatherless Psalm 68:5.

We agree with you for healing for those who are sick and suffering, for He forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases Psalm 103:3 and we pray I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds says the Lord Jeremiah 30:17. We join you in praying for the persecuted Christians, remembering those in bonds as bound with them Hebrews 13:3, for the salvation of the unsaved for God desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth 1 Timothy 2:4, for the peace of Jerusalem as we are told to pray for the peace of Jerusalem Psalm 122:6, and for those suffering in war zones, from calamities, and for abused children, asking the Lord to defend the weak and fatherless Psalm 82:3.

We hear your honest confession about speaking in anger to ### about ### and about talking to others about a matter that should have been kept in confidence. We thank God for your repentant heart, for 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 pray the Lord will help you in your weakness and help you to guard your tongue, remembering let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up Ephesians 4:29 and that everyone should be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger, for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God James 1:19-20. We ask Him to turn what was spoken amiss into a blessing and to restore relationships where you have asked for restoration, helping you to forgive as the Lord forgave you Colossians 3:13.

We pray for your place at church, for your team at work, for meetings and for the issue at church if it is true, that the Lord would mediate, grant favor, authority, love, inspiration and strength, and that He would remove what is not of Him and defeat the works of the enemy. We ask for overall encouragement for you, for fear not, for I am with you, be not dismayed, for I am your God, I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you Isaiah 41:10.

Father, we come together in the mighty name of Jesus and lay all these names and situations known to You before Your throne. We ask for Your extra strong protection over each one, for breakthrough where there has been long standing bondage, for deep conviction where there is sin, for miraculous healing where there is sickness and woundedness, for wisdom where there is confusion, for reconciliation where there is division, and for salvation where there is lostness. Anoint the outreaches, the services, the prayer gatherings, and the preaching of Your word, let Your presence fill the place powerfully this Friday and in the days to come, save many and bring back those who have wandered. Forgive us where we have sinned in word and anger, cleanse us, teach us to speak and work in a way that pleases You, and let Your glory be seen in our lives, our church, and our land. We ask all this trusting that You are able to do far more than we ask or imagine, in Jesus name we pray, amen.

We hear how heavy this has felt for you, carrying so many people and situations before the Lord at once, the outreaches and services, the tensions at church and at work, the relationships that need healing, and all the burdens for those suffering far beyond your own circle. It is a lot to hold, and we are grateful you brought it all to Jesus honestly, including where you feel you spoke wrongly and want to make it right.

With so many conflicts named, it helps to remember that conflict itself is not the failure, it is often a sign that something matters and needs careful attention. When emotions run high, having a clear, calm structure helps more than trying to fix everything at once or pushing feelings aside. A trusted pastor or mature believer who can listen without taking sides can help create that structure for one conversation at a time.

One gentle next step that may lighten the load is to note which one or two conflicts feel most urgent to you right now, and bring just those to the Lord daily by name, and if possible, invite one wise, neutral person to help mediate. For ongoing health needs you mentioned, please also keep your doctor or care team involved alongside prayer.

Father, we bring this dear brother or sister to You and ask for Your protection, wisdom and encouragement. Anoint the outreaches and gatherings this week, guide the sermons and meetings, and bring healing where there are wounds. Grant grace to resolve conflicts with truth and kindness, and give strength for work and for each relationship entrusted to them. Forgive, restore and lead in a way that pleases You. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your many and weighty burdens have been laid before the Lord, and He is a God who hears prayer. He encourages His people to open their mouth wide that He may fill it, and He sandwiches His exhortation between great arguments of His own faithfulness and power. You do well to plead with Him for protection and breakthrough, for wisdom and anointing, for healing and for help in weakness.

Take this first by way of warning and then by way of encouragement. Comfort based upon the suppression of truth is worse than useless, and a wretched lowering of the truth in order to afford encouragement ends in utter failure. Therefore we must not ask God to bless what He has called sin, nor to prosper what is contrary to His holy Word. His way is salvation through Jesus Christ alone, and His design for marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, with all intimacy and living together belonging within that covenant alone. Whatever is not of Him must be confronted and convicted by His Spirit, not celebrated. So in every tangled relationship you have named, whether it be a dysfunctional union, a living together outside of marriage, or any bond that grieves the Lord, our prayer is not that He would merely make it easier, but that He would make it holy. Where there is sin, that He would bring conviction and repentance. Where there is a relationship not according to His design, that He would either bring it to an end or bring it under the rule of Christ in purity and truth, and where reconciliation is according to His will, that He would work it by the power of the Holy Spirit. For soul wounds, for the young ones pressed by school and exams, for those needing a Father's care, we ask that He would heal and rear and show His love in a way that leads to holiness and to salvation.

And take this by way of encouragement. Though the day of small things brings anxiety and fear, and feeble workers tremble for the ark of God, He can build up a spiritual house for Himself out of dark quarries. Cry with a higher meaning than Esau, Have you but one blessing, my Father? Bless me, even me also, O my Father, and know that His store is not straitened.

We join you in pleading for all you have carried so long, even for those prayers that have been deleted and forgotten by men but are remembered by God. We ask the Lord to remember the persecuted Christians, to save the unsaved, to bring peace for Jerusalem and mercy for those suffering in war zones and calamities, and to set His shield over abused children. We ask for His healing hand upon the sick and suffering ones you have named, for His mighty hand upon the young woman needing healing, encouragement and help with her studies, that He would be a Father to her and guard her heart. We ask for His strong anointing upon all the planned outreaches and services, upon the workshop, the sermon on hope and the Live Nativity, upon the sermons you must preach and the evening of prayer and praise this Friday, that He would convict His church, raise up more prayer warriors, and save many. We ask Him to anoint and protect your church, to mediate conflicts and forgotten hurts, to give wisdom and strength where there is struggle, to resolve what is true and expose what is false, and to turn even our failures into blessing as we walk humbly before Him.

You have confessed speaking sinfully about another in anger, and for this we point you to the word of reconciliation. All things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and has committed unto us the word of reconciliation, to wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them. There is forgiveness with Him through the blood of Christ for every confessed sin, and He who is the God of peace has prepared everything necessary for a perfect reconciliation with Himself. Seek His forgiveness anew, and seek His grace to speak and to work in a manner pleasing to Him, whether in your place at church, in meetings, in your daily work and with your team.

May the Lord grant you overall encouragement, defeat the works of the enemy, and fill the earth with His glory. May He lead and guide and protect you, take over your work completely, give you wisdom, strength, love and favour, and keep you near the cross where alone there is hope for sinners and power for saints.
