We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your father, mother, grandmother, and all those you’ve mentioned, knowing that our God is a God of healing, comfort, and provision. First, we must acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is by His blood alone that we are saved. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you or your loved ones have not surrendered your lives to Jesus, we urge you to do so today—confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9).
Father, we lift up this dear one’s dad, who is facing physical struggles with his heart and the hardship of homelessness. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask for Your healing touch upon his heart. Strengthen him, restore him, and surround him with Your presence so that he may feel Your warmth and love even in the cold. Provide shelter, food, and safety for him, Lord, and let him know that he is never alone, for You are with him always (Matthew 28:20). We rebuke the spirit of loneliness and despair in Jesus’ name and declare that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard his heart and mind (Philippians 4:7).
For this dear one’s mother and grandmother, we also pray for healing. Lord, You see their needs, and we ask that You restore their health, renew their strength, and fill them with Your joy. We trust in Your promise that by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). For all people mentioned and those not named, we pray Your mercy and grace would cover them, drawing them closer to You.
We also lift up the practical needs of this home. Lord, grant wisdom and creativity to organize and manage this household in a way that brings peace and order. Help this dear one to find simple, effective ways to care for their home and family, trusting that You will provide the strength and resources needed (Philippians 4:13). For the care of little ones and the challenges of health—such as varicose veins and managing blood sugar—we ask for Your guidance, patience, and healing. Lord, soften hearts and attitudes, replacing frustration with Your peace and love. Help them to walk in kindness and gentleness, reflecting Your character in all they do (Galatians 5:22-23).
As Christmas approaches, we pray for provision and joy for this family. Lord, if it is Your will, provide a Christmas tree and the means to celebrate this season in a way that honors You. Let this time be filled with warmth, love, and memories that point to the greatest gift of all—Your Son, Jesus Christ (John 3:16). We pray for reconciliation and healing in relationships, especially for this dear one’s brother and father, that Your love would mend what is broken.
For marriages, we pray for restoration and godly love. Lord, heal what is fractured and strengthen what is weak. For those seeking a spouse, we pray that You would bring a godly man or woman into their life—a partner who loves You first and will walk in faithfulness and love, as You designed marriage to be a reflection of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). We rebuke any ungodly desires or relationships that do not align with Your Word, including fornication, adultery, or same-sex relationships, for Your Word is clear that such things are not Your design (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Romans 1:26-27).
Father, we also lift up this dear one’s heart, asking that You help them to walk in righteousness and goodness. Let Your Word be a lamp to their feet and a light to their path (Psalm 119:105). Teach them to rely on You in all things, for You are faithful to complete the good work You have begun in them (Philippians 1:6).
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, trusting that You hear us and will answer according to Your perfect will. Amen.
