We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt cries to our Heavenly Father, and we are deeply moved by your faith and persistence in prayer. You have covered your family so thoroughly in Scripture, and we echo these petitions before the throne of grace, knowing that our God is faithful and His Word does not return void. It is beautiful to see you pleading the blood of Jesus and standing on the promises of God—this is the posture of a warrior in Christ, and we stand with you in this battle.
Your request is saturated with the truth of God’s Word, and we particularly lift up your plea for salvation, deliverance, and healing for your family. How precious it is that you acknowledge the Lord’s past faithfulness even as you wait for His complete work in your lives. You have reminded us all that even in the midst of trials, we can praise Him for what He has already done, trusting that He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion (Philippians 1:6). Your request for supernatural trust and the faith of Christ Himself is a powerful reminder that our strength comes not from ourselves, but from Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20).
We also take note of your heart for reconciliation and unity within your family. The enemy seeks to divide and destroy, but our God is a God of restoration and peace. As you have prayed, we declare over your family the promise of Ezekiel 36:26: *"I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."* May the Lord soften hearts, break chains of bitterness or unforgiveness, and bind your family together in His love. Where there has been pain, abuse, or attacks, we pray for the healing balm of the Holy Spirit to cover every wound. The Lord sees your suffering, and He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Your plea for the little one in your family touches our hearts deeply. Jesus Himself said, *"Let the little children come to me, and don’t hinder them; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to such as these"* (Matthew 19:14). We pray a hedge of protection around this child, that the Lord would guard their innocence, their mind, and their spirit. May they grow in the knowledge of Christ from the earliest age, and may the Lord raise up godly influences in their life to nurture their faith. We also lift up the specific concerns you mentioned for other family members—housing, school, travel mercies, work, and new responsibilities. Our God is not unaware of these needs, and we trust Him to provide in ways that surpass our understanding. *"Seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33).
We are struck by your humility in asking the Lord to help you not lose sight of His past faithfulness while waiting for complete deliverance. This is a struggle many believers face—the tension between what we see and what we hope for. But faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen (Hebrews 11:1). We pray that the Lord would open the eyes of your heart to see His hand at work, even in the waiting. May He fill you with an unshakable confidence in His goodness, knowing that His timing is perfect and His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).
Your prayer for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit aligns with the heart of God. Jesus promised that the Father would give the Holy Spirit to those who ask (Luke 11:13), and we join you in asking for a fresh filling, a mighty baptism of His presence in your family. May the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—be evident in each of your lives (Galatians 5:22-23). May the Lord break every curse and turn them into blessings, as you have prayed, for *"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us"* (Galatians 3:13).
We also want to encourage you to continue to cast all your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). The battles you face are not fought in your own strength, but in the power of Christ who has already overcome the world (John 16:33). When the enemy whispers lies of hopelessness or fear, remember that *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4). Stand firm in the armor of God, with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the shoes of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:10-18).
Now, let us pray together over these requests:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude and trust, lifting up our sister and her family to You. Lord, You are a God who hears and answers prayer, and we thank You for the way You have already moved in their lives. We ask for Your strong protection to remain over them, especially the little one. Surround them with Your mighty warrior angels, encamp around them as Psalm 34:7 declares, and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Cover them with the blood of Jesus, and let Your Holy Spirit fire be a wall of protection that the enemy cannot penetrate.
Lord, we pray for salvation to come to every member of this family. Your arm is not too short to save, and Your ear is not too dull to hear (Isaiah 59:1). Draw them to Yourself, Lord Jesus. Open their eyes to see Your truth, soften their hearts to receive Your love, and let them turn to You in repentance and faith. May they experience the fullness of Your deliverance, healing, and restoration. Break every chain of sin, every stronghold of the enemy, and set them free to worship You in spirit and in truth.
Father, we ask for reconciliation and unity in this family. Heal the wounds of the past, replace bitterness with forgiveness, and let Your peace rule in their hearts. Pour out Your Holy Spirit upon them, filling them with Your love, joy, and hope. Give them new hearts and new minds, aligned with Your Word and Your will. Restore what has been broken, Lord, and let Your blessings overflow in their lives.
We lift up the specific needs mentioned—housing, school, work, travel mercies, and new responsibilities—and we ask You to provide in ways that bring glory to Your name. You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, and we trust You to meet every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Give our sister supernatural trust and faith as she waits on You. Help her to keep her eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of her faith (Hebrews 12:2).
Lord, we pray for a mighty outpouring of Your Spirit in their lives. Fill them afresh, empower them to walk in victory, and let Your presence be tangible in their home. Break every curse and turn it into a blessing. Let Your light shine in the darkness, and may Your name be glorified through their story.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness. We thank You that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). Strengthen them, encourage them, and let them see Your hand at work in every detail of their lives. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
Finally, we want to encourage you to keep standing firm in faith. The Lord has heard your prayers, and He is at work. Do not grow weary in well-doing, for in due season you will reap a harvest if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Keep speaking life, keep declaring God’s promises, and keep trusting in His unfailing love. He is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
If there are areas where you feel weak or overwhelmed, lean on the body of Christ. You are not alone in this battle. We are standing with you, and together, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us (Romans 8:37). May the Lord continue to strengthen you, guide you, and fill you with His peace as you trust in Him.
