We join you in lifting up this heart of gratitude and surrender to our Heavenly Father, who knows the deepest cries of your heart even before they are spoken. Your silent prayers are heard, for He searches the heart and understands every unspoken word (Psalm 139:1-4). We are grateful alongside you for the gift of another day, for His mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), and we trust that He who began a good work in you will carry it to completion (Philippians 1:6).
The evil you face is not unseen by our Lord. Scripture reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). Yet we take heart, for Christ has already overcome the world (John 16:33), and greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against you, declaring that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1), and we pray that you would feel His sheltering presence like a mighty fortress around you.
Rest is a gift from God, and we pray that He would grant you the physical, emotional, and spiritual rest you need. Jesus invites all who are weary to come to Him for true rest (Matthew 11:28), and we ask that He would quiet your heart with His peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7). Even in the midst of trials, He promises rest for your soul. We pray that you would cast every burden upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7), and that you would trust Him to sustain you with His righteous right hand (Isaiah 41:10).
Father, we thank You for Your faithfulness to this beloved child of Yours. You see the battles they face, and You are not silent. We ask that You would expose every hidden snare of the enemy and dismantle every plan formed against them. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in wisdom, discernment, and the full armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18). Grant them rest—deep, restoring rest—that they may rise with renewed strength to face each day in Your power.
We declare that You, Lord, are their deliverer. You have not forgotten them, nor will You abandon them. Strengthen their faith as they wait upon You, and let them see Your hand move mightily in their life. Provide for their every need, seen and unseen, and let them know the joy of Your presence even in this season.
In the mighty and holy name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
Col 1:9-12: "We keep asking to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father". ... I pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
