We join with you in prayer today and we hear the urgency and longing in your heart for healing, protection, provision, and peace for yourself, your mom, your three children, and your pets, and we bring all of this before the Father in the name of Jesus Christ.
We want to gently and lovingly address some of what you have expressed so that your prayers may be aligned more fully with scripture. We understand your desire to see negativity, spam, scams, and lies removed, and we stand with you against the schemes of the enemy, but scripture teaches us that our battle is not with mystical energy or with luck, and we do not speak things into existence by our own words or loosen verses as if they were incantations. Only God calls into existence the things that do not exist as though they were, as shown in Rom 4:17, and we are called to pray according to His will and trust His sovereignty. There is no good luck or bad luck for the believer, for every good gift comes from the Father and our steps are ordered by Him, as Prov 16:33 says the lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh. We also do not seek healing of energy as a secret force, but we seek healing and wholeness from the Lord Himself who heals all our diseases, Ps 103:3, and who gives us peace that guards our hearts, Phil 4:6-7. And while we are called to resist the devil, we do so not with crude or harsh language, but with submission to God and faith in Christ, for Eph 4:29 tells us let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up, and James 4:7 says be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Even Michael the archangel did not bring a railing judgment against Satan but said the Lord rebuke you, Jude 1:9.
We also want to encourage you regarding Deut 28:13 where it says Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail. That promise was given within the covenant with Israel and its blessing rested on obedience to the Lord, and for us today the principle remains that God honors those who walk in His ways, but it is not a formula to be loosened or claimed apart from a life of faithful obedience and trust in Christ. God does desire to bless and provide for you.
We thank you for invoking the blood of Jesus, for it is only through Jesus that we have access to God and it is only by His name that we are saved. As Acts 4:12 says there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, and John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. It is by His blood we have redemption and forgiveness, 1 John 1:7, and we rejoice that you have called upon Him.
We pray together now for your needs.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You and we lift up this dear one, her mom, her three children, and even the pets You have entrusted to her care. Lord, we ask for Your protection over their home and personal lives, that You would guard them from all scams, spam, deception, and every scheme of the evil one. We ask that You would put a hedge around them and give them wisdom and discernment, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control, 2 Tim 1:7. We rebuke the work of Satan in Jesus' name and we ask that You would cause him to flee as this family submits themselves to You.
Lord, we ask for Your provision for employment. You know the desire for a full time job or two part time jobs to provide for needs like a passport, a vehicle, and even travel to see family after so many years. We pray that You would open doors of honest work according to Your will, for 2 Thess 3:10 reminds us that diligence in work is Your design, and Phil 4:19 promises my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Help her to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, Matt 6:33, and trust that all these things will be added as You see fit. Give her favor with employers and wisdom to steward what You provide, including a dinner budget and daily bread.
Father, we lift up her deep love for family, including her adopted children and her cats who are companions in her home. We pray for restoration and opportunity to see family, for healing of relationships, and for Your peace to reign in her household. We pray for health and strength for her and her mom, that You would lead them in ways to care for their bodies with exercise and wholeness, whether at a gym, in a class, or in a home You provide, for 3 John 1:2 says Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers. We ask not out of greed for a pool or spa, but for contentment and for You to provide what is best for their health and joy according to Your perfect plan, Jer 29:11.
Lord, remove all negativity and fear and replace it with Your peace and hope. Help this dear one to walk not by talk of luck or energy, but by faith in Jesus Christ, trusting that You work all things together for good for those who love You, Rom 8:28. Cleanse her speech and her heart, that all she says and does may honor You. We plead the blood of Jesus over this family for protection, forgiveness, and healing, and we pray that they would grow in knowing You more deeply.
We entrust all these requests to You, Father, not demanding our will but Yours be done, and we ask all of this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
