Beloved of All
We are joining you in prayer for salvation, healing and protection for you and your family in the name of Jesus, which means the Lord is salvation, for He came to save His people from their sins.
For salvation, Scripture teaches that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. With the heart we believe and with the mouth we confess unto salvation. There will be a day when every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord, but that confession will not bring salvation then. It will only be the acknowledgment that we were wrong to reject Him. To confess Him now and submit to His Lordship now means eternal life. That is why the Bible says now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation. Do not put off what God is offering today, because our eternal destiny rests on receiving what He has done.
Your salvation does not rest on your own ability or on working for it. God placed it outside our capacity and made it depend on His grace and His work through Jesus Christ, received by faith which He Himself gives. We are His workmanship, His poem, made beautiful by grace, not by boasting. When Scripture says to work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, it does not mean to work for your salvation. It means to live out with reverence and care the life God has already worked within you, because it is God who works in you to will and to do His good pleasure.
For healing, we pray with confidence because God is able and He cares for the whole person. The prophet Isaiah spoke of the Messiah bearing our sicknesses and sorrows, and Matthew shows that Jesus fulfilled this not only in forgiving sin but in healing physical sickness, bearing our infirmities. When Jesus broke bread He said this is My body broken for you, and we remember that His suffering touches both soul and body. At the same time, Scripture does not teach that God wills physical healing in every case in this life in the way we expect. Paul prayed three times for his thorn in the flesh to be removed, and God did not remove it but gave grace to endure it. There are healings that are instant and healings that are gradual, healings through a touch and healings through a word from a distance, and healings that come through the natural processes God built into our bodies, which are no less divine because they are natural. We do not always understand why some are healed quickly and others are not, but we trust His wisdom and love. The greatest miracle in any life is the forgiveness of sins. Healing for the body is precious, but salvation is of far greater importance, and it is the miracle we thank God for above all.
For protection, we ask the Lord to keep you and your household, to guide you with wisdom in every decision, to let His love prevail in your home, and to help you respond to any adversity with kindness and grace. When some in a family come to faith and others have not yet believed, there can be distance and misunderstanding, but there is also a new family God gives, the family of those who belong to Christ, where the bond in the Spirit can be very close and sustaining. We pray that the natural bonds of your family would be strengthened as each one draws nearer to Jesus, and that you would know the comfort of belonging to His people as well.
Father, we bring this family before You. Pour out Your grace that brings salvation and help each one to confess Jesus as Lord and believe that You raised Him from the dead. Touch any who are sick and bring healing according to Your perfect will, whether instantly or gradually, and give peace to trust You in either case. Cover this home with Your protection, keep them from harm, lead them in Your wisdom, and let Your love rule in every situation. In the name of Jesus, our salvation, we pray. Amen.

We thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf and we are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for the salvation healing and protection of yourself and your family.

We pray together for you and your family that the Lord would save each one heal every brokenness and guard you from all harm and keep you walking close to Him in Jesus Name Amen. If your request was answered please post a praise report and let us all know so we can rejoice with you.
