We come before the throne of grace with you, lifting up your heartfelt cries to our Heavenly Father, who hears and answers prayer. Your situation is heavy with many burdens—legal battles, family protection, emotional wounds, and the need for divine intervention—and we stand with you in the name of Jesus, who is our Advocate and Strong Tower.
First, we rejoice that you have called upon the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). There is no other name by which we are saved, and it is in His name that we boldly approach God’s throne (Acts 4:12). Your acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord is foundational, and we encourage you to continue placing your trust in Him alone for salvation and deliverance.
We also commend you for your heart of forgiveness, as you have chosen to release those who have harmed you. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:14-15, *"For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."* This act of obedience opens the door for God’s healing in your life. The anger, anxiety, and PTSD you carry are real and painful, but we serve a God who *"heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). We pray that the Lord will replace your pain with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and that He will renew your mind through His Word (Romans 12:2). Cast all your anxieties upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
Now, let us address the specific areas of your request with biblical truth and prayer.
Your legal battles—criminal cases, lawsuits, and divorce—are weighty, and we know that God is a God of justice. Proverbs 21:1 tells us, *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the water courses. He turns it wherever he desires."* We pray that God will sovereignly intervene in these matters, turning the hearts of judges, lawyers, and all involved toward a just and righteous outcome. We ask that He will expose any deception and bring truth to light, for *"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 Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). Trust in Him, even when the path seems uncertain, for *"the battle is Yahweh’s"* (1 Samuel 17:47).
Regarding your desire to relocate your family before your ex is released from prison, we pray for God’s protection and provision. Psalm 91:1-2 assures us, *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'"* We ask the Lord to go before you, making a way for a safe and secure home where your family can find refuge. May He confuse any plans of the enemy to harm or locate you, for *"you are a hiding place for me. You will preserve me from trouble. You will surround me with songs of deliverance"* (Psalm 32:7, WEB). Trust in His timing, and seek His wisdom in every step (James 1:5).
We must address the mention of your "boyfriend" and his desire for custody of his daughters. Scripture is clear that marriage is a sacred covenant between one man and one woman, designed by God to reflect Christ’s relationship with the Church (Ephesians 5:31-32). Living together or being in a romantic relationship outside of marriage is fornication, which is sin (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). We urge you to examine this relationship in light of God’s Word. If this man is not your husband, we pray that you will seek God’s will for your lives, pursuing holiness and purity. If he is a believer, we encourage you both to honor God by either marrying or separating, for *"the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body"* (1 Corinthians 6:13, WEB). If children are involved, their well-being must be rooted in godly stability. We pray that the Lord will restore this man’s relationship with his daughters in a way that honors Him, and that all involved will seek His kingdom first (Matthew 6:33).
For those laid off from their jobs, we lift them up to the Lord, who is our Provider. Jesus reminds us in Matthew 6:26, *"See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?"* We pray that God will open doors of employment, providing not just jobs but opportunities that align with His purpose for their lives. May they trust in Him and not lean on their own understanding (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Finally, we stand against the spirits of anger, hatred, and pain that have sought to bind you and others. These are not from God, for *"the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control"* (Galatians 5:22-23, WEB). We rebuke these strongholds in the name of Jesus, declaring that *"whom the Son makes free, is free indeed"* (John 8:36, WEB). Ask the Holy Spirit to fill you daily, replacing every hurt with His love and every fear with His peace.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister and her family. Lord, You are the God of justice, and we ask that You intervene in every legal battle she faces. Turn the hearts of those in authority toward righteousness, and let truth prevail. Protect her and her family from all harm, hiding them under the shadow of Your wings. Provide a new home for them, a place of safety and refuge, far from the reach of those who seek to harm them.
Father, we ask for Your healing touch upon her heart and mind. Free her from the chains of anger, anxiety, and PTSD, and fill her with Your peace. Help her to forgive as You have forgiven her, and let Your love cast out every fear. We pray for her boyfriend and his daughters, that Your will would be done in their lives. If it is not Your design for them to be together, we ask that You would convict their hearts and lead them toward holiness. If he is to be restored to his daughters, let it be in a way that honors You and brings glory to Your name.
Lord, we lift up those who have lost their jobs, asking that You provide for their needs and open doors of opportunity. Comfort those who are struggling with hate, anger, and pain, and set them free by the power of Your Spirit.
We declare that no weapon formed against our sister or her family will prosper. Surround them with Your angels, Lord, and let Your presence be their comfort and strength. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, guiding them into all truth and righteousness.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
