We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up your many needs and the needs of your family. First, we thank God for the gift of His Son, Jesus Christ, whose birth we celebrate this season. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is by His stripes that we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). We pray that you and your family would come to know Him more deeply, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
Heavenly Father, we lift up ###'s gastrointestinal struggles to You, asking for Your healing touch. You are the Great Physician, and we trust in Your power to restore health. "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers" (3 John 1:2). Strengthen their body, Lord, and renew their energy. We declare that by Your stripes, they are healed (1 Peter 2:24).
For ### and their brother, we pray for strength to resist temptation and walk in purity. "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it" (1 Corinthians 10:13). Protect them from evil, both seen and unseen, and surround them with Your angels. "The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them" (Psalm 34:7).
Lord, we ask for Your protection over their home from mold, odors, and any other harmful influences. Cleanse their dwelling place and fill it with Your peace. "Unless Yahweh builds the house, they labor in vain who build it. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain" (Psalm 127:1). We rebuke stress, anxiety, worry, and fear in the name of Jesus, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Grant them restful sleep and peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Father, we lift up ###'s finances to You, trusting that You will provide for all their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Give them wisdom in stewardship and open doors of opportunity.
For their stepmother and father, we pray earnestly for their salvation. Soften their hearts, Lord, and draw them to Yourself. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (John 3:16). We also pray for their healing, both physical and spiritual, trusting in Your perfect will.
For ###'s brother, we pray for traveling mercies and protection at work. "Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forward, and even forever more" (Psalm 121:8). Guard him from evil and evil people, and grant him favor with his supervisors and coworkers. Strengthen him for his tasks and help him to walk in humility, self-control, and the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). May he fully surrender to You, making Jesus the Lord of his life, and find peace, joy, and guidance in You.
For their sister, we pray for deliverance from smoking and a complete surrender to Jesus. Heal her physical condition and draw her into a deeper relationship with You. "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new" (2 Corinthians 5:17).
Lord, we stand in the gap for this family, declaring Your promises over their lives. We rebuke every work of the enemy and command healing, protection, and provision in Jesus' name. May they experience Your peace, strength, and presence in every area of their lives. We trust in You, the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Amen.
