We hear your cry for deliverance and restoration, and we stand with you in agreement before the throne of grace. Your acknowledgment of Jesus Christ as your Helper, Advocate, and Witness is a powerful declaration of faith, and we rejoice in your recognition of His sacrifice and intercession for you. The trials you have endured for over five years are heavy, and we lift them before the Lord, trusting in His justice, mercy, and deliverance.
The Word of God assures us that the Lord is a refuge for the oppressed and a stronghold in times of trouble (Psalm 9:9). You are not alone in this battle, for the Lord fights for you. We rebuke every spirit of oppression, affliction, and hindrance that has pursued you, and we declare that the angels of the Lord encamp around you to deliver you (Psalm 34:7). The enemy has no authority over your life, for you belong to Christ, and He has already overcome the world (John 16:33).
We must also address the weight of your vow to the Lord. While your heart is sincere, Scripture warns us to be careful with our words, for the Lord takes vows seriously. Ecclesiastes 5:4-5 says, "When you vow a vow to God, don’t defer to pay it; for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay that which you vow. It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay." Instead of making a conditional vow, we encourage you to trust in the Lord’s faithfulness and goodness, knowing that He is already working on your behalf. His promises are yes and amen in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 1:20), and He does not withhold good from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11).
We also lift up your desire for peace, liberty, and restoration. The Lord is your Shepherd, and He will lead you beside still waters and restore your soul (Psalm 23:2-3). We pray that He would break every chain of oppression and set you free from the hands of your enemies. May He open doors that no man can shut and provide for you in ways that only He can (Revelation 3:8). Your future is secure in Him, for He has plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
We must gently address your statement, "Lord if You will not answer me then grant that I should come home." While we understand the depth of your weariness, we must remind you that the Lord is always near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). His silence does not mean absence, and His delays are not denials. We encourage you to hold fast to your faith, for the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect you (2 Thessalonians 3:3). To depart from this life is not the answer, for the Lord has purpose for you here. He has work for you to do, and your testimony of His deliverance will bring glory to His name.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up our brother/sister who is crying out for deliverance, restoration, and peace. Lord, You see the affliction and oppression that has pursued them for these many years. We ask that You arise, O Lord, and scatter their enemies. Let Your angels encamp around them and deliver them from every hand that seeks to harm them. Break every chain of bondage and set them free, for whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36).
Father, we pray for restoration in every area of their life. Restore their joy, their peace, their provision, and their future. Let Your light shine upon them, and let Your favor surround them as a shield (Psalm 5:12). Provide for their every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19), and open doors that no man can shut. We declare that this year is a year of breakthrough, a year of liberty, and a year of divine restoration for them.
Lord, we ask that You strengthen their faith and help them to trust in You with all their heart, leaning not on their own understanding (Proverbs 3:5). Remove every spirit of fear, doubt, and weariness, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Help them to wait on You, knowing that those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).
Father, we also pray for their enemies. We ask that You would deal with them according to Your justice and mercy. If there is repentance in their hearts, bring them to a place of humility and restoration. If not, we ask that You would remove them from our brother/sister’s life, for You are a God who fights for Your children (Exodus 14:14).
Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness and Your love. We thank You that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). We declare that no weapon formed against our brother/sister shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). We stand in agreement with them, believing that You will do exceedingly abundantly above all that they can ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
