We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt cries to our Heavenly Father, and we are deeply moved by your fervent faith and persistence in prayer. You have come before the Lord with a spirit of humility, trust, and worship, pleading the precious blood of Jesus over your family and invoking the power of His Word—this is the posture of a true warrior in Christ. The Scriptures you have claimed are mighty and full of promise, and we stand with you in declaring them over your household, for the Lord is faithful to His Word, and He delights in the prayers of His saints.
Your plea for protection is rooted in the truth that our God is a strong tower, a refuge in times of trouble. Psalm 91 is a powerful declaration of His covering, and we affirm it over you and your little one, trusting that no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). The Lord has promised to be a wall of fire around His people (Zechariah 2:5), and His angels are indeed encamped around those who fear Him (Psalm 34:7). We pray that you would feel the tangible presence of His peace, even in the midst of the storms you face, knowing that the battle belongs to the Lord (2 Chronicles 20:15). He is not unaware of the difficulties, the pain, or the attacks you have endured. He sees, He knows, and He is moving on your behalf, even when it feels as though deliverance is delayed. Do not lose heart, dear sibling in Christ, for our God is working all things together for your good and His glory (Romans 8:28).
You have also cried out for salvation, healing, and reconciliation within your family. Oh, how the heart of God longs to bring His children into His kingdom! The arm of the Lord is indeed not too short to save (Isaiah 59:1), and we declare with you that He is able to draw each member of your family to Himself. We pray that the Holy Spirit would convict hearts, open blind eyes, and turn each of you toward the cross of Christ, where true healing and restoration are found. Jesus is the Great Physician, and by His stripes, you *are* healed (Isaiah 53:5). We ask for a mighty outpouring of His Spirit to soften hearts, break chains, and bring unity where there has been division. Let the love of God be poured into your hearts (Romans 5:5), and may His peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard your minds and hearts in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We are especially burdened by your mention of abuse and attacks. The Lord is a God of justice, and He does not overlook the suffering of His people. He is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We rebuke the enemy’s schemes in the name of Jesus, commanding every spirit of oppression, fear, and torment to flee from your home. The Lord is your defender, and He will contend with those who contend with you (Isaiah 49:25). We pray for supernatural strength to forgive, for wisdom to set godly boundaries, and for the courage to walk in obedience, even when the path is hard. If there are practical steps you need to take to ensure the safety of your family—especially your little one—we urge you to seek godly counsel and act in faith, trusting that the Lord will guide you.
Your request for supernatural trust and faith resonates deeply with us. Faith is a gift from God (Ephesians 2:8-9), and we ask that He would increase your measure of it, just as the disciples asked the Lord, “Increase our faith!” (Luke 17:5). You have already seen His faithfulness in answering so many of your prayers—let those testimonies be an anchor for your soul in this season of waiting. The Lord is not slow in keeping His promises, but He is patient, and His timing is perfect (2 Peter 3:9). We pray that you would fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and that you would experience the joy of the Lord as your strength (Nehemiah 8:10), even while you wait.
We also lift up the specific concerns you mentioned for your family members and the various needs you’ve brought before the Lord. Though you did not share the names, we trust that the Lord knows each one intimately, and we pray for His divine intervention in every situation. For those needing a Christian home, we ask that the Lord would open doors and provide godly community. For those facing challenges with housing, school, or new responsibilities, we pray for His provision and wisdom. For the struggles you mentioned—whether with "O" or "S" or any other burden—we ask that the Lord would give you clarity, discernment, and the grace to surrender each thing to Him. He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20), and we trust Him to move mightily in each area.
Finally, we want to encourage you to keep praising the Lord, even in the waiting. Your gratitude in the midst of the storm is a sweet fragrance to Him. The enemy wants to steal your joy and your focus, but the Lord is calling you to fix your gaze on Him. As you worship, the battles that rage around you will pale in comparison to the greatness of your God. Remember the words of Paul: “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!” (Philippians 4:4). Your praise is a weapon, and your trust is a testimony.
Now, let us pray together over you and your family:
---
Heavenly Father, we come before You today with our sister, lifting up her family and all the burdens she has placed at Your feet. Lord Jesus, You are the Good Shepherd, and You have promised that no one can snatch Your sheep out of Your hand (John 10:28). We ask that You would surround this family with Your divine protection, that You would place Your warrior angels around them as a guard, and that You would be a wall of fire, shielding them from every attack of the enemy. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we plead the blood of Jesus over each member of this family—over their minds, their bodies, their spirits, and their circumstances. Let the blood of Christ speak a better word over them, silencing every accusation and breaking every chain.
Lord, we cry out for salvation for each person in this family. You have said that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Acts 2:21), and we ask that You would draw them to Yourself. Softening hearts that have been hardened, open eyes that have been blind, and turn each one toward the cross. Let there be a mighty outpouring of Your Holy Spirit in their lives, bringing conviction, repentance, and transformation. Father, we ask for healing—physical, emotional, and spiritual. By Your stripes, they *are* healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we declare that restoration is coming. Restore what has been broken, Lord. Redeem what has been lost. Turn curses into blessings and ashes into beauty (Isaiah 61:3).
We pray for reconciliation and unity in this family. Where there has been division, let there be peace. Where there has been pain, let there be healing. Where there has been abuse, let there be justice and restoration. Father, we ask that You would give our sister supernatural trust—Your trust, Lord Jesus—and that You would fill her with Your faith. Pour Your love into their hearts by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5), and let the fruits of the Spirit be evident in their lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Break the power of fear, anxiety, and despair, and replace it with Your perfect peace.
Lord, we lift up the specific needs she has mentioned—the need for a Christian home, for housing, for wisdom in new responsibilities, and for Your intervention in every area of struggle. You know the details, Father, and we trust You to provide. We pray for travel mercies, for favor in every situation, and for Your hand to move mightily on behalf of this family. Give our sister the strength to forgive, the wisdom to act, and the courage to stand firm in Your truth.
Father, we thank You that You have already done so much, and we declare that You are not finished. You are the God who restores, who redeems, and who makes all things new. We ask that You would give our sister eyes to see Your hand at work, even in the waiting. Let her heart be filled with praise, her mind renewed by Your Word, and her spirit strengthened by Your presence.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, the Name above all names. Let His name be glorified in the lives of this family, and let Your kingdom come in their midst. Amen and amen.
We want to leave you with this encouragement: do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you *will* reap a harvest if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). The Lord is near to you, and He is fighting for you. Keep praying, keep trusting, and keep praising. He is faithful, and He will complete the good work He has begun in you and your family (Philippians 1:6). Stand firm, dear one. Victory is yours in Christ Jesus.
Col 1:9-12: "We keep asking to be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so we may walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work, increasing in the knowledge of God, strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all perseverance and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father". ... I pray in Jesus' Name, Amen.
