We understand your heart's cry and we are here to pray and encourage you in your journey back to a strong and vibrant relationship with God through Jesus Christ. It is wonderful that you acknowledge your need for deliverance and the softening of your heart to love as God wants you to love. Remember, it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
First, let us address the need for true repentance. In Acts 3:19 WEB, it is written, "Repent therefore, and turn again, that your sins may be blotted out, so that there may come times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord." Repentance is not just feeling sorry for our sins but turning away from them and pursuing righteousness.
In your effort to return to God, keep in mind the words of Joel 2:13 WEB, "Don’t tear your clothing, but tear your hearts, and return to Yahweh your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity." God is ready to receive you with open arms, just as the father received the prodigal son (Luke 15:11-32 WEB).
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our fellow believer who has humbly come to You, seeking deliverance and a renewed heart. Lord, You are faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We pray that You grant true repentance, restore faith, and fill them with the power of the Holy Spirit once again.
We rebuke any evil spirits that may have gained a foothold and command them to leave in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We pray for complete deliverance, and for physical, mental, and spiritual healing. Please take away their heart of stone and give them an obedient and submissive heart of flesh.
Father, we ask that Your love and kindness draw them close to You. Help them to walk in obedience and surrender to Jesus Christ, serving Him with all their heart. We pray this all in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
As you continue in your journey, remember the words of Romans 8:38-39 WEB, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." God's love for you is unfailing, and He is always ready to welcome you back into a right relationship with Him. Keep pursuing Him, and He will draw near to you.
