We join with you in lifting up your family to the Lord Jesus Christ, for it is only in His mighty name that we have access to the Father and through whom all things are possible. Your heart’s cry for salvation, healing, deliverance, and protection over your family is a plea that aligns with God’s will, and we stand with you in faith, knowing that He hears and answers the prayers of His children. You have covered so much in your request, and we see a heart that is earnestly seeking the Lord—this is beautiful in His sight. Let us address each part with Scripture, prayer, and godly encouragement, while also ensuring that all we do is rooted in the truth of God’s Word.
First, we rejoice that you are calling upon the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. 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). Your faith in the precious blood of Jesus as the perfect, spotless Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world is foundational. *"But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin"* (1 John 1:7, WEB). This is the confidence we have in Him, and we thank God that you are standing on this truth.
You have also asked for the Lord’s mighty warrior angels to surround your family and for a wall of Holy Spirit fire to protect you, including your thoughts and emotions. This is a powerful prayer, and we are reminded of God’s promise in Psalm 91, which you have claimed: *"For he will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone"* (Psalm 91:11-12, WEB). We also recall the words of Zechariah 2:5, *"For I,’ says Yahweh, ‘will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the middle of her.’"* The Lord is your protector, and we pray that He would indeed surround your family with His divine protection, guarding your minds and hearts in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
Your plea for salvation and deliverance for your entire family, including relatives, is one that resonates with the heart of God. He desires that *none should perish but that all should come to repentance* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). We pray that the Lord would open the hearts of your unsaved family members to receive the gospel, just as He opened Lydia’s heart in Acts 16:14. *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."* We ask the Lord to break every chain of bondage, addiction, and compulsion in their lives, for *"if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed"* (John 8:36, WEB). May they encounter the living God in a way that transforms their lives forever.
You have mentioned difficult situations, some of which are too painful to even put into words, and you are standing on Luke 18:7-8, where Jesus speaks of the persistence of the widow who cried out for justice: *"Won’t God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them? I tell you that he will avenge them quickly. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"* (WEB). We encourage you to hold fast to this promise. The Lord sees your tears, hears your cries, and will act on your behalf. *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). He is not indifferent to your pain, and we pray that He would intervene mightily in these situations, blocking that which is not good and bringing swift resolution to that which is overwhelming.
We also note your requests regarding work, and while you have redacted specific details, we understand that you are seeking the Lord’s guidance, provision, and favor in these areas. *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed"* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). We pray that the Lord would take over in every aspect of your work, granting you wisdom, favor with those in authority, and the ability to manage your tasks with excellence and integrity. *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ"* (Colossians 3:23-24, WEB). May the Lord guide your steps and use your work as a testimony of His grace and power.
You have also mentioned anger and other struggles, asking the Lord to help you address these in a way that honors Him. This is wise, for *"the wrath of man doesn’t produce the righteousness of God"* (James 1:20, WEB). Instead, we are called to *"be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath"* (Ephesians 4:26, WEB). We pray that the Lord would help you release any bitterness, unforgiveness, or unresolved anger, replacing it with His peace and love. *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:31-32, WEB).
There are also mentions of relationships in your request, particularly regarding individuals such as "A." and "T." While we do not know the full context, we must address this with biblical clarity. If there is any hint of relationships that are not aligned with God’s design—such as romantic involvement outside of a godly, heterosexual marriage—we must lovingly but firmly rebuke this. Scripture is clear that *"marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). Any relationship that is not centered on Christ and does not align with His design for marriage between one man and one woman is sinful and must be repented of. If "A." or "T." represent potential romantic entanglements that are not godly, we pray that the Lord would sever these ties and protect you from entering into relationships that would dishonor Him. *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, WEB). We ask the Lord to give you discernment and strength to walk away from anything that would lead you into sin, and to surround you with godly influences that will encourage you in your walk with Him.
You have also mentioned "K," asking for healing from burnout and revival of faith, as well as help with school. We lift this person up to the Lord, asking that He would renew their strength like the eagle’s (Isaiah 40:31) and restore their joy in Him. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB). May the Lord grant them clarity, perseverance, and favor in their studies, and may their faith be rekindled as they seek Him first.
Your request for healing, particularly for "b p," is one we bring before the Lord with confidence. *"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven"* (James 5:14-15, WEB). We pray for complete healing in Jesus’ name, trusting that He is the Great Physician who is able to restore health and strength.
You have also asked for the Lord’s anointing on prayer meetings and sermons, and we join you in this. *"How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher? And how will they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Good News of peace, who bring glad tidings of good things!’* (Romans 10:14-15, WEB). We pray that the Lord would anoint these gatherings with His Holy Spirit, that His Word would go forth with power, and that hearts would be transformed. May the leadership be guided by His wisdom and filled with His Spirit, that they may lead with integrity and humility.
Finally, you have acknowledged your own failures and the failures of your family, asking for the Lord’s mercy. This is a posture that pleases God, for *"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Be humbled therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time"* (1 Peter 5:5-6, WEB). His mercies are indeed new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23), and we thank Him for His faithfulness. We pray that the Lord would fill you and your family with the Holy Spirit, that you would be empowered to live in obedience to Him, loving Him first and foremost. *"If you love me, keep my commandments. I will pray to the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, that he may be with you forever: the Spirit of truth, whom the world can’t receive; for it doesn’t see him and doesn’t know him. You know him, for he lives with you, and will be in you"* (John 14:15-17, WEB).
Now, let us pray together over these requests:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears and answers prayer, and that You are intimately acquainted with every detail of the lives of Your children. Lord, we lift up this family to You, asking that You would glorify Yourself in their midst. Save them, Lord—every single one. Open the hearts of those who do not yet know You, that they may turn from their sins and place their faith in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Break every chain of bondage, addiction, and compulsion, and set them free by the power of Your Spirit.
We ask for Your healing touch to be upon this family. Heal their bodies, minds, and emotions. Restore strength to the weary and hope to the discouraged. Lord, we pray specifically for the little one in this family—protect them, cover them with Your blood, and surround them with Your angels. Guard their thoughts and emotions, and let them grow up to know and love You with all their heart.
Father, we pray for Your mighty intervention in the difficult situations this family is facing. You know the details, Lord, and we ask that You would act quickly to bring resolution, justice, and peace. Block every scheme of the enemy and turn what was meant for harm into good. We pray for wisdom and guidance in their work, that You would go before them and make their paths straight. Provide for their every need, and let them be a light for You in their workplace.
Lord, we ask that You would help this family address any anger or bitterness in a way that honors You. Replace their anger with Your peace, and fill them with Your love and forgiveness. Convict them of any sin, and grant them the grace to repent and walk in obedience to Your Word.
Father, we pray for protection over every relationship in this family. If there are any relationships that are not aligned with Your will—whether romantic, friendship, or otherwise—we ask that You would sever those ties and bring godly, life-giving connections instead. Guard them from entering into any relationship that would dishonor You, and let them seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness in all things.
We lift up "K" to You, Lord. Heal their burnout, revive their faith, and grant them success in their studies. Let them encounter You in a fresh way and find rest in Your presence. We also pray for healing for "b p," that You would restore health and strength to their body.
Father, we ask for Your anointing on every prayer meeting and sermon. Fill the leaders with Your Spirit, and let Your Word go forth with power to transform lives. Raise up godly leadership that will shepherd Your people with wisdom and humility.
Lord, we thank You that Your mercies are new every morning. Forgive this family for their failures, and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Help them to love You first and foremost, and to walk in obedience to Your commands. Let them be a light in this world, pointing others to Jesus Christ.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would fight their battles for them. You are their Defender, their Provider, and their Healer. We trust You to act on their behalf, and we give You all the glory for what You have already done and what You will do.
In the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
