We join with you in lifting up your heart’s cry to our Heavenly Father, and we are deeply moved by your hunger for His presence and faith. You have come to the right place, for it is in Jesus’ mighty name that we find forgiveness, strength, and the very faith you seek. Your words reflect a heart that is surrendered and desperate for God—and that is a posture He honors. The fact that you are calling out to Him in the name of Jesus is beautiful, for it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* (John 14:6, WEB). You have acknowledged this truth, and we rejoice with you in it!
Your plea for faith resonates with us, for even the disciples once asked Jesus, *"Increase our faith"* (Luke 17:5, WEB). And how did Jesus respond? He reminded them that faith—even as small as a mustard seed—can move mountains when it is placed in Him. So we declare over you now: *"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit"* (Romans 15:13, WEB). The faith you seek is not something you must manufacture in your own strength, but it is a gift from God, cultivated as you fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). You are not sinking beyond His reach—He is stretching out His hand to you even now.
We also hear the urgency in your prayer—*"suddenly, speedily rescue me, Lord, make haste!"*—and we stand with you in this. The psalmist cried out similarly: *"Hurry to help me, Lord, my salvation!"* (Psalm 38:22, WEB). God is not slow in keeping His promises, but He acts in perfect timing, and His delays are never denials. Yet we boldly ask with you for His swift intervention, trusting that He hears and will answer according to His will. Remember, *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). You are not forgotten; you are seen, loved, and held by Him.
Your declaration of forgiveness toward others is powerful. Jesus taught us that our forgiveness from the Father is tied to our forgiveness of others (Matthew 6:14-15). By releasing others, you are positioning yourself to receive the fullness of God’s mercy and breakthrough. We pray that the Lord would continue to heal any wounds in your heart, replacing bitterness with His peace and resentment with His love. *"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:32, WEB).
Now, let us pray together over you:
Heavenly Father, we thank You for this precious child of Yours who is crying out to You with a heart of humility and faith. Lord, You see the depths of their struggle, the weight of their burdens, and the desperation in their spirit. We ask that You would meet them right where they are, lifting them from the sinking sand and placing their feet upon the solid rock of Christ Jesus. Fill them with Your own faith—the faith that moves mountains, that trusts You in the dark, and that rests in Your promises even when the storm rages. Let them seek You not just for what You can do, but for Who You are: the Great I Am, the Alpha and Omega, the One who holds all things together.
Lord, we ask for sudden breakthroughs, for divine interventions that leave no doubt of Your hand at work. Speedily rescue them, O God, and let Your miracles be evident in their life. Open doors no man can shut, provide where there is lack, heal where there is brokenness, and restore what has been lost or stolen. Let them experience Your miracles and breakthroughs in ways that exceed their expectations, that they may testify of Your goodness and glory.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, despair, or doubt that would try to keep them from fully trusting in You. By the power of the Holy Spirit, we command these lies to flee and declare that the truth of Your Word will take root in their heart. Let them walk in the assurance that You are working all things together for their good, that You have plans to prosper them and not to harm them, plans to give them hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
Strengthen them, Lord, in the inner person, that they may be rooted and grounded in Your love. Let them know beyond any shadow of doubt that they are Your beloved, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and sealed with Your Holy Spirit. Remind them that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). When the enemy whispers lies, let Your voice rise above it all, speaking peace, truth, and victory.
We thank You, Father, for the miracles and breakthroughs that are already on the way. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Let Your favor surround them like a shield, and let Your angels encamp around them for deliverance (Psalm 34:7).
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen and amen!
Beloved, hold fast to the promises of God. He is faithful, and He will do what He has said. *"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful"* (Hebrews 10:23, WEB). Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and watch as He moves mightily in your life. We are standing with you in faith, believing for your complete restoration and victory in Jesus’ name. *"Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen"* (Ephesians 3:20-21, WEB).
