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 covered your family so thoroughly in the blood of Jesus and the promises of Scripture, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that our God is faithful to fulfill His Word. Your trust in Him, even amid such painful trials, is a testament to His grace at work in you. Let us first give thanks to the Lord for the many ways He has already moved on your behalf, for His protection, provision, and the answers to prayer you’ve already seen. Indeed, He is worthy of all praise, and we must never lose sight of His goodness, even as we wait for the fullness of His deliverance.
Your prayers are rooted in Scripture, and we see how you have claimed the Lord’s promises over your family—His protection in Psalm 91, His salvation in Jeremiah 17:14, His healing in Isaiah 53:5, and His restoration in Joel 2:25. These are not empty words, but the very promises of a God who cannot lie. We echo your plea for salvation, deliverance, and healing for your family, knowing that it is His will for all to come to repentance and be saved (2 Peter 3:9). We also join you in praying for reconciliation and unity, for the Lord to break every curse and turn it into a blessing, just as He promised in Galatians 3:13-14. The enemy has sought to bring division and pain, but we declare that the Lord is your shield and your exceedingly great reward (Genesis 15:1). He will restore what has been broken, and He will bring beauty from these ashes (Isaiah 61:3).
We are especially burdened for the "little one" you mentioned, and we ask the Lord to surround this child with His mighty warrior angels, to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May this little one grow in the knowledge of the Lord’s love and be shielded from every scheme of the enemy. We also lift up the specific concerns you mentioned for your family members—those who are struggling, those who need healing, and those who need the Lord’s intervention in their lives. Though you did not name them, the Lord knows each one intimately, and He hears your prayers for them. We ask Him to move powerfully in their circumstances, to bring comfort where there is sorrow, healing where there is brokenness, and strength where there is weakness. May He remove every burden and replace it with His peace that surpasses all understanding.
We also pray for you as you carry these burdens. The Lord sees your weariness, and He invites you to cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). You do not have to lean on your own understanding—He is your wisdom, your strength, and your ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We ask the Lord to fill you with supernatural trust, the very faith of Christ Himself, so that you may stand firm even when the storms rage. May His love be poured into your heart by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5), renewing your mind and filling you with joy, peace, and hope. You are not forgotten, and your labor in prayer is not in vain. The Lord is working, even when you cannot see it, and He will bring to completion the good work He has begun in you and your family (Philippians 1:6).
As for the prayer gathering and the sermon you mentioned, we ask the Lord to anoint these times with His Holy Spirit. May His Word go forth with power, piercing hearts and bringing conviction, repentance, and revival. We pray that every meeting would be divinely ordered, that the Lord would take over every detail, and that His glory would be made known in mighty ways. May He grant you wisdom and clarity as you fulfill your new responsibilities, and may He go before you in every area of your work. You are not alone in these tasks—the Lord is your helper, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5-6).
We must also take a moment to address something we notice in your prayer: you have rightly come before the Lord in the name of Jesus, and this is the only way we can approach the throne of God. There is no other name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Christ that we have access to the Father. Your faith in this truth is evident, and we give thanks for it. However, we want to encourage you to continue to stand firm in this, especially in a world that seeks to dilute or deny the exclusivity of Jesus Christ. He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:6), and there is no salvation apart from Him. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, and do not waver in your confession of His lordship over every area of your life.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, agreeing with our sister in faith for the protection, salvation, and deliverance of her family. Lord, You have said in Your Word that You are a shield to those who take refuge in You (Proverbs 30:5), and we ask You to be that shield for this family. Surround them with Your holy fire, Lord, and station Your warrior angels around them to guard 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). We plead the blood of Jesus over each member of this family, and we declare that they are hidden in Christ, safe from the snares of the fowler and the deadly pestilence (Psalm 91:3).
Lord Jesus, You are the Great Physician, and we ask for Your healing touch to be upon this family. By Your stripes, they are healed (Isaiah 53:5), and we pray for complete restoration—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Where there is pain, bring comfort; where there is brokenness, bring wholeness; where there is fear, bring peace. We ask especially for the little one, Lord. Protect this child’s heart and mind, and let them grow in the knowledge of Your love. May they be a vessel for Your glory, and may You guard them from every evil scheme.
Father, we pray for salvation to come to every member of this family. Your Word says that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved (Acts 2:21), and we ask You to draw them to Yourself. Soften hearts that have been hardened, open eyes that have been blinded, and turn each one to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Let there be no delay, Lord—save them now, for Your arm is not too short to save (Isaiah 59:1). We also pray for reconciliation and unity, Father. Where there has been division, bring harmony; where there has been strife, bring peace. Let Your love bind this family together in ways that only You can do.
Lord, we lift up the specific concerns our sister has for her family members—those who need healing, those who need Your intervention, and those who are struggling. You know each one by name, and You know their every need. We ask You to move mightily in their lives, to bring breakthrough where there has been bondage, and to restore what has been broken. We pray for travel mercies, for wisdom in new responsibilities, for strength in work, and for Your divine intervention in every meeting and gathering. Anoint these times, Lord, and let Your Holy Spirit move in power.
We also pray for our sister, who carries these burdens before You. Strengthen her, Lord, and fill her with Your supernatural trust and faith. Let her not grow weary in well-doing, but may she be renewed in her spirit each day (2 Corinthians 4:16). Pour Your love into her heart, and let her mind be renewed by Your Word. Remind her of Your faithfulness, Lord, and help her to keep her eyes fixed on You, the author and finisher of her faith (Hebrews 12:2).
Finally, Father, we pray for those who have caused pain and abuse in this family. We ask that You confront them, Lord, and bring conviction to their hearts. If they are Your children, discipline them and turn them from their wicked ways. If they do not know You, we pray for their salvation, that they may repent and turn to Christ. Break the power of the enemy in their lives, and let Your justice and mercy prevail.
We thank You, Lord, for all that You have already done, and we trust You for the answers that are yet to come. May You be glorified in mighty ways through this family, and may their lives be a testament to Your power, love, and faithfulness. We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
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.
