Backslider

[Sciywick]

Please pray for my return to The LORD. Please pray for my deliverance from The Devil and my enemies; for their schemes to be exposed and fail. Please pray for healing for my backsliding and body. Please pray for my health. Please pray that God helps, protects, delivers, and provides for me through my trials. Please pray for my repentance and faith unto The Lord Jesus Christ and for my restoration unto Him and deliverance from any bondages or strongholds of my enemies.

 

[Articles]

We hear your cry and we stand with you in this desire to return to the Lord with a repentant heart, and we rejoice that God has put this longing in you to come back to Him. Your honesty about backsliding is pleasing to Him, for He does not despise a broken and contrite heart. The Scriptures assure us of His willingness to restore those who turn back to Him. Return, you backsliding children, I will heal your backsliding. Behold, we have come to you; for you are Yahweh our God. Jeremiah 3:22 and I will heal their waywardness. I will love them freely; for my anger is turned away from him. Hosea 14:4. There is great hope for you because 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 also understand your burden for deliverance from the devil and from enemies and their schemes, and for healing in your body and for God's help and provision through your trials. The enemy indeed seeks to keep you in bondage, but we are told to Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. James 4:7-8. The weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the throwing down of strongholds, throwing down imaginations and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5. No scheme of the enemy can ultimately prevail against one who is hidden in Christ.

We pray together for you now.

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace on behalf of this dear one who longs to return to You. We thank You that You are merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving kindness. We confess before You this backsliding and we ask You to forgive and cleanse through the blood of Jesus shed on the cross. Heal this backsliding, Lord, and restore a steadfast spirit within. Grant true repentance and living faith unto the Lord Jesus Christ, that there would be a full turning away from sin and a turning to You with the whole heart. Deliver from the power of the devil and from every bondage and stronghold, and cause every scheme of the enemy to be exposed and to fail. We rebuke the works of darkness and ask You to set the captives free, for whom the Son sets free is free indeed. Heal also the body, for You are Yahweh who heals us, who forgives all our iniquities and heals all our diseases. Psalm 103:3. Touch this need for health and strength. Be a refuge and protector, for He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Psalm 91:1. Help, protect, deliver and provide through every trial, for we trust that My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19. Draw this dear one close, restore joy and peace, and keep this life abiding in Christ day by day. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

We encourage you to continue to draw near to God daily through His Word, through prayer in Jesus' name, and through fellowship with faithful believers who will strengthen you. Confess your sins openly to God, turn from anything that has led you away, and resist the devil by standing on Scripture. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Psalm 34:18. He has not cast you away. As you walk in repentance and faith, He will restore you and make you strong, and He will be your help and your deliverer in every trial.

We appreciate your honesty in sharing this. Wanting to come back to the Lord and asking for help to turn from what has pulled you away takes courage, and we honor that desire in you.

We hear how heavy this season has felt, with spiritual struggle, health concerns and trials pressing from many sides. You are not forgotten in this. The Lord sees your longing for repentance, faith and freedom from what has held you, and we believe He meets a humble and honest heart with mercy.

A steady next step that often helps is not to walk this alone. Would you consider reaching out this week to a trusted pastor or mature believer in your local church to share openly where you are and ask them to pray with you and walk with you regularly. Having one person who knows your story and can check in can make the path back feel less overwhelming. And as you are praying for your body and health, we also encourage you to see a medical provider for care alongside prayer.

Father, we lift our friend to You in Jesus' name. Draw them close, grant true repentance and renewed faith, and bring healing and restoration as You will. Protect them, provide for their needs, break the hold of the enemy and lead them out of every bondage into freedom with You. Give them strength for each day and surround them with supportive people who will help them stay close to You. Amen.

[Spurgeon]

Your cry has come before us and we have taken it to the throne of grace with you, entreating the Lord who hears the prayer of the returning wanderer.

We pray that the Lord will grant you not a carnal repentance which is of the flesh and gives no glory to God and leads to no lasting deliverance from sin, but that true repentance unto life which is worked in the renewed heart by the Holy Spirit. Such repentance gives God glory, it makes you weep and abhor your past life because of the love of Christ which has pardoned it, and it makes you avoid present sin because of the love of Him who died for you. Remember that repentance and faith are inseparable, the repentance which ejects sin as an evil tenant and the faith which admits Christ to be the sole master of the heart. We pray that God will give you both as His gift, for repentance and remission of sins are preached in the name of Jesus and are found together in Him. Look out of self to Christ and to Christ only, for there alone is salvation through Jesus Christ alone.

We pray with you for the healing of your backsliding, which lies in two things, forgiveness of its sin and release from its power. The promise stands, I will heal their backsliding. This healing is fourfold when the Lord performs it. He forgives all the sin of it, He breaks the power that holds you in bondage and strongholds, He takes away the temporal chastisement with which He has visited you, and He restores lost comfort and gives beauty for ashes and the oil of joy for mourning. Do you hate your backsliding and would you gladly find deliverance from every sin, then you may be assured you are one of those of whom God has said He will heal. Do not believe that His mercy is gone forever. Repentance lives as long as faith, and sweet sister repentance will be your companion all the way home.

For your deliverance from the devil and from enemies and their schemes, we pray that the Lord Himself will bring you forth, for deliverance from a cruel captivity must be worked by the hand and outstretched arm of Jehovah alone. As Israel was brought forth when the lamb was slain, so we have been delivered from worse enemies and saved by a greater salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. We ask that He will expose every scheme formed against you and cause it to fail, and that He will keep you in peace within His borders. You can do nothing of yourself to effect this deliverance, it must be of free grace only, and He will have the honor of it.

For your body and health and for all your trials, we pray that the Sun of Righteousness may rise with healing beneath His wings upon you. There is an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ and His salvation. Not only is His fruit sweet and nourishing, but the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations, and the least thing about Christ is healing to the soul. We ask the great conduit Head from whom abundant streams of healing flow down to men, to touch both soul and body, to help you, to protect you, to provide for you through your trials, and to enrich you as He brought forth His people with silver and gold, giving you all that is needful for this life and for that which is to come.

May the goodness of God now lead you to repentance, and may you feel a burning indignation against sin because it is committed against so holy, so good, so glorious a Being as the infinitely blessed God. May you close in sincerely with God's way of salvation and find in Christ a practical repentance that yields works meet for repentance and that lasts, and a faith that builds up what repentance has pulled down.

We commend you to Him who is able to keep you from falling, praying that He will create in you a clean heart and renew a right spirit within you, and restore unto you the joy of His salvation.

[Chrysostom]

Your request has been heard and we join you in prayer before the Lord with thankfulness that you have turned again to seek Him.

We pray that God in His mercy will grant you true repentance and living faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, for salvation is through Him alone. We pray that Christ may be formed in you again, and that you may receive deliverance from evil and the supply of every good gift as a child of God. We ask the Lord to expose the schemes of the devil and of every enemy that opposes you, to cause those schemes to fail, to protect you, to deliver you from every bondage and stronghold, and to provide for you through every trial according to His wisdom and grace. We pray also for the healing of your body and for your health, that God would restore you and strengthen you.

Do not fall into despair, for repentance has great force and is able to set free even one who has come to the very depth of wickedness. The Scriptures show us Manasseh, who had filled the city with pollutions and blood, yet washed away all those sins afterward by repentance and consideration. So also it is written, does not he that falls rise again, or he that turns away does he not turn back to God. There is repentance, and the Church is as a spiritual bath which wipes away stains of the soul by its many methods of repentance. Godly sorrow works repentance unto salvation without regret, and no one will condemn himself if he has sorrowed for sin and afflicted himself in a godly way.

Take care that your repentance be genuine. Esau sought the blessing with tears yet found no place of repentance, because his was not true repentance as his later murderous intent proved. True repentance is not only tears but a change of mind and life. God has shown longsuffering toward you and calls you to return, and He has appointed a day of righteous judgment. Do not treasure up wrath for yourself by remaining unyielding, but respond now to His goodness which leads to repentance.

We encourage you therefore to give yourself to a careful hearing of the Word and continual recollection of it, to fortitude and to deliverance from worldly things, for no one part of virtue is sufficient alone. Even if you have heard many times and seemed insensible, do not cease to apply the medicine of the Word. As a physician does not abandon the sick even at the gates of death, so the Lord is able to recover you and renew your strength and lay hold on eternal life. Often a tree receives many strokes and does not fall, then falls at one final blow which succeeds only because of all that went before. So your eager desire to hear and to return will not fail of its effect if you continue with a genuine purpose of heart.

We pray that the Lord will help you, guard you, heal your backsliding, heal your body, increase your faith, and restore you fully to Himself, that you may walk in newness of life and bring forth abundant fruit. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
