We rejoice with you in your decision to rededicate your life to Christ through baptism in His holy name! This is a powerful step of obedience and surrender, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that God honors such a heartfelt commitment. You have declared your faith in Jesus Christ, and it is by His name alone that we are saved, cleansed, and made new. As Scripture tells us, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your desire to walk in purity and remission of sins aligns with the truth of God’s Word: *"Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit"* (Acts 2:38, WEB). We praise God for your willingness to lay down the past and step into the freedom He has prepared for you.
Your battle with the spirits of people-pleasing, rejection, and abandonment is not unseen by our Heavenly Father. These strongholds have deep roots, often tied to generational curses, but we declare over you the power of Christ to break every chain! The Word of God assures us that *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us"* (Galatians 3:13, WEB). You are no longer bound by what was passed down—Jesus has set you free, and *"if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed"* (John 8:36, WEB). We rebuked these spirits in the name of Jesus and command them to loose their grip on your life. The enemy has no authority over you, for *"greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). We pray that the Lord would fill you with His perfect love, which casts out all fear, and that He would anchor your identity in Him alone. You are His beloved daughter, fearfully and wonderfully made, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Psalm 139:14, Hebrews 13:5).
We also lift up your heart and mind to the Lord, asking that He would guard them with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). May the words of your mouth and the meditation of your heart be pleasing to Him (Psalm 19:14), and may He place a guard over your lips (Psalm 141:3). The gossip and betrayal from those you once trusted have wounded you, but we pray that the Lord would heal these hurts and remove from your life those who do not align with His purposes for you. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,"* says the Lord (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). We ask that God would surround you with godly friendships—those who will encourage you in righteousness and speak life into your spirit.
As you prepare for this sacred moment of rebaptism, we cover you in prayer, asking the Lord to fill you anew with His Holy Spirit. May this act of obedience be a fresh outpouring of His grace, power, and anointing over your life. We declare that every attack of the enemy is nullified, for *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). The Lord is your shield and your exceeding great reward (Genesis 15:1), and He will go before you, making your paths straight (Proverbs 3:6).
We also lift up your friend who is soon to give birth. We pray for God’s protecting hand over her and her baby, asking that the Lord would grant the doctors and nurses wisdom, skill, and compassion. May every hand that touches her be guided by the Lord, and may there be no harm or complication in Jesus’ name. We pray for a smooth delivery, for strength and endurance for your friend, and for a healthy, joyful arrival of this precious child. *"Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you,"* declares the Lord (Jeremiah 1:5, WEB), and we trust Him to watch over this little one from the first breath.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in fasting and prayer, for there is power in drawing near to Him with a humble and contrite heart. *"The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise"* (Psalm 51:17, WEB). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6).
**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with thanksgiving for our sister, who has chosen to rededicate her life to You through baptism in the name of Jesus. Lord, we ask that You would meet her in this sacred moment with Your presence, power, and peace. Wash her clean by the blood of Jesus, and fill her anew with Your Holy Spirit. Break every generational curse, every stronghold of rejection, abandonment, and people-pleasing, and set her free to walk in the fullness of who You have created her to be.
Guard her heart and mind, Lord, and let no corrupt word proceed from her mouth. May her speech be seasoned with grace, and may her thoughts be captive to Your truth. Surround her with Your favor as a shield, and remove from her life those who seek to harm her through gossip or betrayal. Replace them with godly relationships that reflect Your love and faithfulness.
We rebuke the enemy and command him to flee from her life, for greater are You who are in her than he who is in the world. Let every attack against her be scattered, and let Your angels encamp around her, delivering her from all evil.
For her friend who is soon to give birth, we ask for Your protecting hand. Grant the medical team wisdom and skill, and let there be no harm or complication. Bring this baby safely into the world, healthy and whole, and fill the hearts of all involved with Your peace.
Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness. May our sister rise from these waters with a fresh anointing, a renewed mind, and a heart fully surrendered to You. Let her life be a testimony of Your grace and power, and may she walk in the victory You have already won for her. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
