Grace to Fast, Pray, Isa 58:6-12: Nearness to God, Jam 4:7, Revelation, Eph 1:17 Intimacy, Wisdom, Strength, Favor, Direction, Confirmation

[Nochaeld]

Grace to Fast & Pray, Isa 58:6-12, Intercede, Isa 62:3... Nearness to God, James 4:7, Revelation, Eph 1:17 Intimacy, Jn 15:7, Wisdom, Col 1:9, Strength, Love Christ Dwells within, Eph 3:16-20, Direction, Jn 10:27, Rom 8:14, Confirmation, Matt 18:16, 2 Cor 13:1 -- Dear Father, thank You for being intimately acquainted with all our ways, Ps 139:3. Very much alone right now for various reasons and requesting "the NEARNESS of GOD to be MY GOOD" Ps 73:28. "Anchor My Soul in the Cleft of The Rock." I ask for wisdom and revelation, Eph 1:17, grace to praise and worship, Ps 149:1-5 and ability to hear Your voice, Jn 10:27...

Bible Study group "doesn't do street preaching, just discipleship" so I have no one to go with me -- the saying is true, "the harvest is plentiful, the laborers are few," Luke 10:2, so I continue to ask for wisdom and direction as obviously this does not align with the Bible that teaches evangelism as a lifestyle as well as Jesus and the Apostles prescribe and demonstrate public proclamation of the gospel, actually gospel -- (euangellion) can be rendered "good announcement" or "good proclamation" as "good news" is heralded abroad, Mark 16:15-16, Luke 24:45-49, Acts 1:8, Acts 2:22-47, Acts 3:12-26, Acts 17:22-34, et cetera... Grace to remain in love but to show whole counsel of God, Acts 20:27...

Though asking grace to pray and fast for my spouse to return with my son for over a year now (with little to show for it presently), nevertheless, I honestly have endeavored to obey God to "Lead the Way" and I trust the word of God shared will not return void, Isa 55:10-11, and the good deeds of love cannot be hidden, 1 Tim 5:25... Help me forgive from the heart and put her into Your hands and I do pray make me a better example in all my life, lifestyle, thoughts, words, deeds, speech actions and most of all reactions, Ps 19:14.

I know the Lord is praying in a similar way as He did for Peter, that though the devil desires to "sift us like wheat, He ever lives to make intercession for us, Heb 7:25, praying my faith won't fail, and afterward I strengthen others, Luke 22:31-32. I ask for the church the gates of hell will not prevail against to resist the devil with me, James 4:7, for nearness to God, James 4:8. Strengthen me with power to know the dimensions of CHRIST'S LOVE, and as the old hymn sets forth, "Though none come with me, still I will follow," (Old Rugged Cross).

Deliver me, my matrimonial spouse and youngster from temptation, sin, deception and lies, Luke 11:4, Matt 6:13, Zeph 3:13, Prov 30:8. Let the Word GO FORTH, keep us from evil people and the evil one, 2 Thes 3:1-2, 3, John 17:15, and let me see together with the rest of the righteous the day the serpent be choked with a great chain by "an angel" Rev 20:2. Thank You in JESUS' NAME...

P.S. -- Thank you for sending an earthquake, Amos 3:6, three (3) mins after I warned her JESUS disciplines and REPROVES those HE LOVES, Rev 3:19, and 1 minute after warning about rejecting church discipline, Matt 18:15-17. DO whatever it takes -- Shake everything that can be shaken, Hag 2:6, Heb 12:26-27. O Lord Jesus, come quickly, Rev 22:17, Thank You again in Jesus' Name, Amen 2 Cor 1:20.

We hear your cry for nearness to God, wisdom, strength, and direction, and we join you in lifting these requests before the throne of grace. Your longing for intimacy with the Lord is beautiful, and we stand with you in seeking Him with all our hearts. The scriptures you’ve shared—Isaiah 58, James 4:7, Ephesians 1:17, and others—remind us that fasting, prayer, and obedience are pathways to deeper communion with God. We pray that as you seek Him, He will draw near to you in ways that surpass understanding, anchoring your soul in the cleft of the Rock, Christ Jesus.

Your burden for evangelism is commendable and aligns with the Great Commission. The harvest *is* plentiful, and the laborers are indeed few. It grieves us to hear that your Bible study group does not embrace the public proclamation of the gospel, for this is not merely a suggestion but a command from our Lord. Jesus did not say, "Go into all the world and disciple those who come to you"; He said, *"Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone"* (Mark 16:15). The early church did not wait for people to come to them—they went to the streets, the synagogues, the marketplaces, and the Areopagus, declaring the truth boldly. We must not shrink back from this calling. If your current fellowship does not share this urgency, we pray the Lord will either raise up laborers within it or lead you to a body of believers who will stand with you in this mission. Until then, we encourage you to step out in faith, trusting that the Holy Spirit will empower you to be a witness wherever you go (Acts 1:8).

Your persistence in praying for your spouse and son is a testament to your faith, even when the answers seem delayed. The Word of God does not return void (Isaiah 55:11), and your prayers are like incense before the Lord (Revelation 5:8). We join you in asking for grace to forgive, to release them into God’s hands, and to be a living example of Christ’s love in every area of your life. Lead the way, as you have sought to do, and trust that the Lord is working even when you cannot see it. We pray that your marriage would be restored, not merely for your sake, but for God’s glory, as a testimony to His power to reconcile and redeem. However, we must also gently remind you that while we intercede for restoration, we must surrender the outcome to Him. If your spouse has hardened her heart, we pray for conviction and repentance, but we also pray that you would find peace in God’s will, whatever that may be.

The enemy seeks to sift you like wheat, but Jesus is interceding for you (Luke 22:31-32). We rebuke the schemes of the devil in your life, your marriage, and your family. No weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we declare that the gates of hell will not prevail against the church that stands firm in Christ. We pray for the Lord to deliver you, your spouse, and your son from every temptation, deception, and lie of the enemy. May the Word of God go forth with power, and may you see the fulfillment of His promises in your life.

Regarding your postscript about the earthquake, we must address this with great care. While it is true that God is sovereign over all creation, including natural disasters (Amos 3:6), we must never presume to command or manipulate God’s hand in judgment. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:10). Our role is to intercede, to warn in love, and to trust God’s perfect timing and methods. We must not take upon ourselves the role of judge, for vengeance belongs to the Lord (Romans 12:19). Instead, we pray for repentance, mercy, and revival. If your spouse has strayed from the Lord, we pray for her heart to be softened, not hardened by fear or coercion.

We lift up this prayer for you, your family, and your ministry:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the only name by which we may be saved (Acts 4:12). Lord, we thank You for this brother’s hunger for You. We ask that You would draw him near, that he would know the height, depth, width, and breadth of Christ’s love for him (Ephesians 3:18-19). Fill him with wisdom, revelation, and understanding as he seeks Your face. Strengthen him with power through Your Spirit in his inner being, that Christ may dwell in his heart through faith (Ephesians 3:16-17).

Father, we pray for his marriage. We ask that You would restore what has been broken, heal what has been wounded, and bring reconciliation where there has been division. Give him grace to forgive, to love unconditionally, and to lead with humility and godliness. If restoration is not Your will, Lord, give him the strength to accept that and to trust You with the outcome. Protect his son from the snares of the enemy, and draw him into a deep relationship with You.

We pray for his evangelistic burden, Lord. Raise up laborers to join him in the harvest. Give him boldness to proclaim the gospel in season and out of season (2 Timothy 4:2). Open doors for him to share the truth, and let Your Word go forth with power. If his current fellowship does not embrace this calling, lead him to one that does, or raise up partners in the gospel who will stand with him.

Lord, we rebuke the enemy’s schemes against this family. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You will condemn (Isaiah 54:17). Deliver them from temptation, sin, and deception. Let the light of Your truth shine in their hearts, and let them walk in the freedom that is theirs in Christ.

Finally, Lord, we pray for patience, endurance, and joy in the journey. May this brother know that his labor in You is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). Strengthen him when he is weary, encourage him when he is discouraged, and remind him that You are coming soon. Maranatha, Lord Jesus, come quickly!

We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. Amen.

"Father, draw near to [###] as he seeks You. Reveal Yourself to him in powerful ways, just as You did with Moses on the mountain. Fill him with Your Spirit, granting him wisdom, understanding, and revelation. Strengthen him with power from on high, and let him experience the depth of Your love for him.

Lord, we also lift up his family to You. We ask for restoration in his marriage, for healing, and for reconciliation. Give him grace to forgive, to love unconditionally, and to lead with humility and godliness. Protect his son, drawing him into a deep relationship with You. If restoration is not Your will, grant him the strength to accept that and trust You with the outcome.

We pray for his evangelistic burden, Lord. Raise up laborers to join him in the harvest. Give him boldness to proclaim the gospel, and open doors for him to share the truth. If his current fellowship does not embrace this calling, lead him to one that does, or raise up partners in the gospel who will stand with him.

We rebuke the enemy's schemes against this family, declaring that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Deliver them from temptation, sin, and deception. Let the light of Your truth shine in their hearts, and let them walk in the freedom that is theirs in Christ.

Finally, Lord, we pray for patience, endurance, and joy in the journey. Remind [###] that his labor in You is not in vain. Strengthen him when he is weary, encourage him when he is discouraged, and remind him that You are coming soon. Maranatha, Lord Jesus, come quickly!

In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.

Seek His Face and Presence not just His hand. In his Presence is everything you need. This does not mean you can have any material thing, perfect spouse because you asked for it in Jesus Christ name. You will have your needs, some of your wants, and difficult trials. The difficult trials are supposed to refine your character and make you more like Jesus. He is more interested in getting you to everlasting life and having your heart in the right place than he is in giving you gifts. It’s eternal life he’s concerned with.

 

[bobr69]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Cinu]

Lord, we pray for this prayer and family for blessings healing and salvation. Heal and bless. May their lives be a praise and glory unto thee.
Come to the Lord's holy presence. Seek him with all your heart. Cling to his Word and meditate on it moment by moment by positive thoughts and joy in the heart (James 1:2-4), knowing that the Lord is good and to him be all the praise. Seek first God's kingdom and his righteousness (Matthew 6:33). Even though life may feel hard, the Lord's hand will be on you, and he will answer in his time. I am praying for you. Amen.
