We join with you in lifting your heartfelt petitions before the Lord, and we are grateful that you have brought these needs before Him in the mighty name of Jesus. Your faith in His provision and timing is a testimony of trust, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that our God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Let us first acknowledge the beauty of your closing—you invoked the name of Jesus, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). It is by His authority that we boldly approach the throne of grace, and we rejoice that you have done so.
Your requests reflect a heart of stewardship, love for your family, and a desire to honor God in all things. We will address each one with Scripture, prayer, and encouragement, while also offering biblical perspective where needed.
You ask for provision for your son as he prepares for his board exams, and we declare with you that the Lord will supply all his needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Let your son take heart in these words: *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). May he study diligently, trusting not in his own understanding but leaning wholly on the Lord, who gives wisdom generously to all who ask (James 1:5). We pray that God would grant him focus, retention, and peace as he prepares, knowing that his future is in the hands of the One who holds all things together.
For your daughter, you seek the Lord’s support so she may return to school and pursue the course she desires. We encourage you both to seek God’s will above all else, for His plans are to prosper and not to harm, to give hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). If this path aligns with His purpose, He will open doors no man can shut (Revelation 3:8). But let her also be open to His leading, for sometimes His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9). We pray that if this is His will, He would provide the means, the strength, and the opportunity for her to walk in it. If there are debts she has carried on your behalf, we ask the Lord to honor your desire to repay them, that she may be free from this burden. *"The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously."* (Psalm 37:21, WEB). May this act of restitution be a testimony of God’s faithfulness and your integrity.
You long for your eldest son to return home after two years abroad, to be reunited with his child and family. We pray for God’s perfect timing in this, that if it is His will, He would soften hearts, remove obstacles, and bring your son home in safety and peace. *"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain."* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). May this reunion be marked by restoration, godly leadership, and a renewed commitment to family and faith. If there are any unresolved issues or bitterness, we pray the Lord would bring healing and forgiveness, for unity is His desire (Colossians 3:13-14).
The weight of loans, credits, and debts can feel overwhelming, but we serve a God who owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10). We declare *"The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* (Proverbs 22:7, WEB), and we ask the Lord to break this bondage in your life. May He provide wisdom in stewardship, opportunities for increase, and the discipline to walk in financial freedom. *"Honor Yahweh with your substance, with the first fruits of all your increase; so your barns will be filled with plenty, and your vats will overflow with new wine."* (Proverbs 3:9-10, WEB). We pray for supernatural provision to pay off these debts, that you may be a lender and not a borrower, a blessing and not a burden.
For your brother, you desire to help him stand on his own feet. This is a noble and godly desire, for Scripture teaches that if a man does not provide for his relatives, he is worse than an unbeliever (1 Timothy 5:8). However, we gently encourage you to ensure that your support does not enable dependency but rather empowers him to seek God’s purpose for his life. *"If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat."* (2 Thessalonians 3:10, WEB). Pray for him to find his calling, to work diligently, and to trust in the Lord’s provision. We ask God to open doors for him, that he may walk in dignity and self-sufficiency, all while giving glory to God.
The resort you mention is a significant responsibility, and we pray for God’s wisdom and favor over it. May it be a place of blessing, not strife, and may your decisions align with His will. *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* (Colossians 3:23, WEB). We pray for peace among your siblings, that disagreements would be resolved in love and unity. If this venture is to prosper, let it be for God’s glory and the good of many. We also lift up your desire to provide jobs for those in need—what a beautiful reflection of Christ’s heart for the vulnerable. May the Lord connect you with honest, hardworking individuals who will contribute to the resort’s success while providing for their families.
Your dream of building a helping ministry is one we wholeheartedly support, for it mirrors the heart of our Savior, who came not to be served but to serve (Mark 10:45). We pray that God would bring the right people alongside you, that this ministry would be rooted in prayer, wisdom, and the Word. *"Pure religion and undefiled before our God and Father is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained by the world."* (James 1:27, WEB). May this vision come to fruition in His timing, and may it be a light in a dark world.
The chapel you envision within the resort is a powerful testament to your desire to see lives transformed by the presence of God. We pray that this place would indeed be a sanctuary for the weary, a house of prayer for all nations (Isaiah 56:7). May many encounter the peace of Christ there, and may it be a beacon of hope. *"How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!"* (Romans 10:15, WEB).
As you and your husband prepare for the future, we pray for wisdom in saving and planning, that your latter days would be marked by security and joy. *"The fear of Yahweh is a fountain of life, turning people from the snares of death."* (Proverbs 14:27, WEB). May you both walk in unity, seeking first His Kingdom, and trusting that He will add all these things to you (Matthew 6:33).
Above all, you pray for the restoration, unity, and order of your family. This is the cry of a heart that understands God’s design for the home. *"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain."* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). We declare that God is the Builder of your house, the Keeper of your family, and the Restorer of all that is broken. May He heal divisions, soften hearts, and align each member under His lordship. Let forgiveness flow, let pride be set aside, and let love cover a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). We rebuke any spirit of strife or division in the name of Jesus, and we declare that your family will be a testimony of God’s redeeming power.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of faith, lifting up our sister and her family to Your throne of grace. You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides, and we ask that You meet every need according to Your riches in glory. Lord, we pray for her son as he prepares for his exams—grant him wisdom, recall, and peace. Open doors for her daughter to return to school if it is Your will, and provide the means for her to walk in her calling without the burden of debt. Father, we ask for the safe return of her eldest son, that he may be reunited with his child and family in Your perfect timing. Break the chains of debt in their lives, Lord, and provide supernatural increase so they may walk in financial freedom. Give her brother the motivation and opportunity to stand on his own, working with his hands to Your glory.
We pray for the resort, that it would be a place of blessing, managed with wisdom and integrity. Bring unity among siblings, and let every decision be led by Your Spirit. Provide jobs for those who seek them, that families may be sustained. Raise up a helping ministry through her, Lord, one that brings hope and practical love to the lost and hurting. We consecrate the chapel she envisions—may it be a place where Your presence dwells, where the broken find healing, and where souls are saved.
Prepare the future for her and her husband, that their latter years would be marked by security, joy, and continued service to You. Above all, restore this family, Lord. Heal wounds, remove bitterness, and knit their hearts together in love. Let their home be a reflection of Your Kingdom, where Your name is honored and Your peace reigns.
We declare these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to You, and it is only by His blood that we are saved. Let every request be filtered through Your will, and may Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, in their lives as it is in heaven. We ask for breakthroughs, miracles, and divine appointments that will leave no doubt of Your hand at work. Strengthen her faith as she waits, and let her testimony be one of Your faithfulness.
In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to continue seeking the Lord’s face in all things. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* (Psalm 37:4, WEB). Keep your eyes fixed on Him, for He is the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). Trust in His timing, for though the vision may tarry, it will surely come to pass (Habakkuk 2:3). Walk in obedience, and watch as He moves mountains on your behalf. Stay rooted in His Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with believers who can speak life into your situation. We are standing with you, believing that God is at work even now.
