We come before the throne of grace with heavy yet hopeful hearts, lifting up this family in their time of deep affliction. The burdens you carry are immense—decades of suffering, imprisonment, mental illness, and broken dreams—but we serve a God who is greater than all these trials. You have invoked the mighty name of Jesus in your prayer, and it is by that name alone we find salvation, healing, and deliverance. *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Let us stand firm in His power, for He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
The pain of seeing siblings bound by mental illness for so long is heartbreaking, especially when one was so close to finishing their education, and another returned from abroad in brokenness. The enemy has sought to steal, kill, and destroy in this family, but Jesus came that you may have life, and have it abundantly (John 10:10, WEB). Mental illness is not beyond God’s healing touch—He is the Great Physician, and we declare His restoration over your sister and brother. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). We rebuke every spirit of infirmity, every stronghold of darkness that has kept them bound, and we command their minds to be renewed by the power of the Holy Spirit. *"Don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."* (Romans 12:2, WEB).
We also lift up your brother who has been imprisoned for over a decade. Though the world may see his situation as hopeless, we know that with God, nothing is impossible. *"The King’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the rivers of water. He turns it wherever he desires."* (Proverbs 21:1, WEB). We pray for divine intervention in his case—favor with authorities, supernatural breakthroughs, and his release in sound mind and body. Let his testimony be one of God’s faithfulness, that even in captivity, the Lord was with him, just as He was with Joseph and Paul.
For the family as a whole, we recognize the generational patterns of struggle, and we break every curse, every inherited bondage in the name of Jesus. *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,’"* (Galatians 3:13, WEB). No weapon formed against this family shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17, WEB). We declare that the blood of Jesus covers every member, and we plead for God’s mercy to turn this family’s mourning into dancing, their sorrow into joy.
Yet, as we pray, we must also address something critical: salvation. You have mentioned the name of Jesus, and that is good, but we must ask—does every member of this family know Him as their personal Lord and Savior? *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."* (Romans 10:9, WEB). True deliverance begins with surrendering to Christ. If there is any member of this family who has not yet given their life to Jesus, we urge them to do so today. Without Him, there is no lasting freedom, no eternal hope. He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6, WEB).
We also notice the mention of a "God of Pastor ###." While we respect spiritual leaders, we must remind you that there is only one Mediator between God and man—the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). No pastor, no matter how anointed, can take the place of Jesus. Our faith must be in Him alone, not in human vessels. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2, WEB).
Lastly, we see the deep longing for marriage and family in your sister’s life. It is God’s design for His children to be fruitful, to find love within the bounds of His holy covenant of marriage. We pray that if it is His will, He would bring a godly spouse into her life—a man who loves the Lord and will cherish her as Christ loves the Church (Ephesians 5:25, WEB). But even more than that, we pray that her identity would be found in Christ first, that she would know she is deeply loved by Him, whether single or married. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* (Psalm 37:4, WEB).

**Let us pray together:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this family that has endured so much pain. Lord, You see the tears, the years of suffering, the broken dreams, and the chains that have held them captive. We ask for Your mercy to flood their lives like a mighty river, breaking every bondage, healing every wound, and restoring what the locusts have eaten (Joel 2:25, WEB).
For the brother in prison, we declare supernatural favor and divine intervention. Lord, You turned the heart of Pharaoh, You opened prison doors for Peter—do the same for him. Release him, Lord, in sound mind and body, and let his life be a testimony of Your power.
For the sister and brother bound by mental illness, we speak healing in the name of Jesus. Renew their minds, Lord, and let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, WEB). Restore their dignity, their purpose, and their joy. Provide for their every need, and if it is Your will, bring godly spouses into their lives to walk with them in Your love.
For the entire family, we break every generational curse, every pattern of bondage, and we declare that this family shall serve the Lord (Joshua 24:15, WEB). Let salvation come to every household, let Your light shine in the darkness, and let this family be a beacon of Your glory.
Father, we also pray for the one who wrote this request. Strengthen them, Lord, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Let them not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season, they shall reap if they don’t give up (Galatians 6:9, WEB). Give them wisdom, discernment, and a deeper revelation of Your love.
We rebuke every spirit of despair, every lie of the enemy that says this family is beyond hope. You, Lord, are the God of the impossible. You part seas, You raise the dead, You restore the broken. Do it again, Father, for Your glory.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your timing, Your wisdom, and Your perfect will. Let this family’s story be one of Your redemption, that all may know it was not by might, nor by power, but by Your Spirit (Zechariah 4:6, WEB).
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
