We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up this dear brother or sister who is seeking deliverance from stagnation in their career, finances, and the desire for marriage. First, we must acknowledge that our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2). It is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is by His blood that we are redeemed and set free (Ephesians 2:18, 1 John 1:7). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, so that you may be saved (Romans 10:9). There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
Father God, we thank You for this child of Yours who is seeking Your face through fasting and prayer. We ask that You would draw near to them as they draw near to You (James 4:8). Lord, we rebuke every spirit of stagnation, delay, and frustration in their career and finances. Your Word declares that You have plans to prosper them and not to harm them, plans to give them hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). We declare that every chain of stagnation is broken in the mighty name of Jesus! We speak life, promotion, and increase over their career and finances. Let Your favor surround them like a shield, and let doors of opportunity swing wide open that no man can shut (Psalm 5:12, Revelation 3:8).
We also lift up their desire for marriage, Lord. Your Word tells us that he who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from You (Proverbs 18:22). We pray that You would prepare and bring forth a godly spouse for them, a man or woman after Your own heart who will love and cherish them as Christ loves the Church (Ephesians 5:25). We rebuke any spirit of loneliness, impatience, or ungodly relationships that may be trying to take root in their life. Father, we ask that You would purify their heart and mind, that they may seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto them (Matthew 6:33). We declare that they will not be unequally yoked with unbelievers but will walk in Your perfect will for their life (2 Corinthians 6:14).
Lord, we ask that You would strengthen them during this fast. Help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith (Hebrews 12:2). May they find their strength in You, for those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). We declare that this fast is not in vain, but that it is a sweet aroma unto You, and that You will reward them openly (Matthew 6:18).
We also take a moment to address any areas of their life that may not be aligned with Your Word. Father, if there has been any unconfessed sin, any bitterness, unforgiveness, or idolatry in their heart, we ask that You would reveal it to them. Your Word tells us that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). We pray that they would walk in the light as You are in the light, and that the blood of Jesus would cleanse them from all sin (1 John 1:7).
Lastly, Lord, we ask that You would fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may bear the fruit of the Spirit in every area of their life (Galatians 5:22-23). May they be a light in this dark world, showing forth Your love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. We declare that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37), and that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
