We lift up your heartfelt concerns for your brother and sister before the Lord, and we join you in seeking His divine intervention in their lives. It is clear you carry a deep love for them, and we commend you for bringing their needs before the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace. As Scripture reminds us, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Your prayer acknowledges this truth, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that our Lord hears and answers those who call upon Him in faith.
First, let us address the use of placeholders in your prayer. While we understand the desire for privacy, we encourage you to speak their names before the Lord in your personal prayers. There is power in calling out names in prayer, as our Heavenly Father knows each of His children intimately. Jesus Himself tells us, *"But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows"* (Luke 12:7, WEB). Speak their names boldly in your private prayers, trusting that God knows their needs even before you ask.
We pray earnestly for your brother and sister’s employment, that the Lord would open doors no man can shut and provide favor in their workplaces. May He grant them wisdom, diligence, and creativity in their tasks, that they might excel and bring glory to His name. As it is written, *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday"* (Psalm 37:4-6, WEB). May they find satisfaction in the Lord first, knowing that He is their Provider. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB).
We also lift up their needs before the Father, asking that He would supply all that they lack—spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially. May they experience the truth of Philippians 4:19: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Let them not be anxious, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, present their requests to God, knowing that His peace will guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
Your prayer for deliverance from demonic influence is both wise and necessary, for we know that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against spiritual forces of wickedness. We stand with you in rebuking every demonic spirit, possession, or attack that may be targeting your brother and sister. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command these spirits to flee, for *"Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). We plead the blood of Jesus over their lives, minds, and homes, asking that the Lord would surround them with His heavenly host for protection. *"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 of me," says Yahweh* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
We also note your request for help in staying off YouTube. This is a wise prayer, for we live in a time where distractions and ungodly influences abound. The internet can be a tool for good, but it can also become a snare if not used with discernment. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict your brother and sister—and even you—of any time wasted on things that do not edify or draw you closer to Christ. *"Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things"* (Philippians 4:8, WEB). May their minds and hearts be filled with the things of God rather than the empty distractions of this world.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue praying for them with persistence and faith. Do not grow weary in interceding for their souls, for *"The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB). And as you pray, remember to also speak life and encouragement into their lives, pointing them always to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of their faith.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this beloved brother and sister to Your throne of grace. Lord, You know their names, their struggles, and their deepest needs even before they ask. We ask that You would be their Strength, their Provider, and their Protector in every area of their lives.
Father, we pray for their employment—open doors of opportunity that no man can shut. Grant them favor with their supervisors and colleagues, and let their work be a testimony of Your excellence. Provide for their every need, Lord, according to Your riches in glory. May they never lack any good thing, for You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider.
We stand against every demonic spirit, every attack of the enemy, and every scheme of darkness that seeks to harm or hinder them. By the blood of Jesus, we command these spirits to flee and be bound in the name of Jesus Christ. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Surround them with Your angels, and let Your peace guard their hearts and minds.
Father, we also ask that You would deliver them from distractions that pull them away from You. Convict them of any time wasted on things that do not honor You, and draw them into a deeper relationship with Jesus. Let their minds be renewed by Your Word, and their hearts be set on things above.
Lord, we pray that You would save them if they do not know You, and sanctify them if they do. Let them walk in the fullness of Your purpose for their lives. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them experience the power of Your resurrection in every area of their lives.
We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
