We lift up your family before the Lord with hearts full of compassion and faith. Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved and through which we have access to Your throne of grace. We thank You for the love and concern this request shows for family and others, and we join in praying for each one mentioned.
Lord, we ask that You be with this dear mother and father, granting them strength, wisdom, and favor in their jobs. May their work be fruitful, their efforts blessed, and their needs abundantly met according to Your riches in glory. "And my God will meet every need of yours according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19). We pray that You would satisfy their every need—spiritual, emotional, and physical—so that they may walk in peace and trust in You.
For the brother, we ask that You guide him in his studies, sharpen his mind, and help him to grasp the knowledge he needs. May he find favor with his teachers and diligence in his work. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him" (James 1:5). We pray that You would satisfy his needs and draw him closer to You each day.
For the sister, we ask that You strengthen her in her job, grant her joy in her labor, and provide for her every need. May she find fulfillment in serving You through her work and trust in Your provision. "Commit your works to the Lord, and your plans will be established" (Proverbs 16:3).
We also lift up all those on this site and their families, praying that You would be near to them, meet their needs, and surround them with Your peace. For those in need around the world—in the USA, Canada, Asia, Africa, South America, Central America, and Greenland—we ask that You provide for them in miraculous ways. Open doors for jobs, supply food and clean water, and give them warm, safe places to live. "For the Lord is a sun and a shield. The Lord will give grace and glory. No good thing will he withhold from those who walk blamelessly" (Psalm 84:11). May they come to know You as their Provider and turn their hearts toward You.
Father, we also bring before You the deeper struggles mentioned here. We rebuke every demonic influence, possession, or spirit that seeks to harm or oppress. In the name of Jesus, we command every evil thing to be crushed and destroyed, for "the Son of God was revealed for this purpose: to destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8). We pray that You would break the power of any lingering pain, memory, or influence from the past, including anything tied to the year ###. Fill this dear one with Your peace, renew their mind, and help them to think on whatever is true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8). Deliver them from every negative thought and replace it with Your truth.
We also pray that You would erase any ungodly influences, such as songs or memories that do not honor You, from their mind. Help them to focus on what is pure and holy, for "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).
Lord, we ask that You draw each person mentioned here closer to You. If any do not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, we pray that You would reveal Yourself to them, soften their hearts, and lead them to repentance. For "there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). May they confess with their mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in their heart that God raised Him from the dead, so that they may be saved (Romans 10:9).
We declare that no weapon formed against this family or any of those mentioned here shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment will be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). We stand in faith, believing that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
