We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt cries to our Lord Jesus Christ, for it is through His mighty name alone that we have access to the Father and by which every knee must bow. Your prayer is a beautiful outpouring of faith, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that our God is faithful to hear and answer according to His perfect will.
Your plea for the glorification of Jesus in your family is a prayer He delights in, for He longs to be exalted among His people. *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."* (John 14:13, WEB). We declare with you that salvation, healing, and deliverance belong to the Lord, and we trust in His promise that *"all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose"* (Romans 8:28, WEB). Your faith in the precious blood of Jesus—the spotless Lamb who takes away the sins of the world—is a firm foundation. *"The blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin"* (1 John 1:7, WEB), and we claim this cleansing over your family, especially the little one you’ve entrusted to His care.
We also lift up your unsaved family members, asking the Lord to open their hearts to the Gospel as He did Lydia’s: *"The Lord opened her heart to listen to the things which were spoken by Paul"* (Acts 16:14, WEB). May the Holy Spirit convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), and may they turn to Christ in repentance and faith. For those bound by addictions, compulsions, or anything not of God, we declare freedom in Jesus’ name, for *"if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed"* (John 8:36, WEB). We rebuke every chain of bondage and ask the Lord to break them by His power, replacing them with His peace and purpose.
Your cry for protection and divine intervention in the difficult situations you face is heard. The Lord is your shield and your exceeding great reward (Genesis 15:1). We pray for His mighty warrior angels to encamp around you, as He has promised: *"For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways"* (Psalm 91:11, WEB). We ask for a wall of Holy Spirit fire to surround your family—mind, body, and spirit—guarding your thoughts and emotions from the enemy’s attacks. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and He will fight your battles (Exodus 14:14). Stand firm in the truth that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me," says Yahweh* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
We lift up your work and the specific concerns you’ve shared, asking the Lord to take full control. *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed"* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). May He grant you wisdom, favor, and divine connections in every meeting, task, and interaction. We pray for His guidance over your team and those you are trying to reach, that His will would be done and His name glorified in all things. For the meetings ahead, including those with visitors from headquarters, we ask the Lord to turn every challenge into a blessing, that His presence would go before you and make your paths straight.
Your heart for repentance and surrender to the Holy Spirit is a sweet aroma to the Lord. We join you in asking for His fullness to fill every void, that you may love Him first and foremost and walk in obedience. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). His mercies are indeed new every morning (Lamentations 3:23), and we thank Him for the encounters with His presence that you seek. May He draw you deeper into intimacy with Him, revealing more of His heart and purposes for your life.
We lift up the specific needs you’ve mentioned: healing for the little one’s spasms, comfort and confidence for ### in her school and faith, and divine intervention in the situations involving ### and ###. We pray for godly friendships for ### and for her to know without a doubt that the Lord hears her prayers. For the burn-out and emotional struggles, we ask the Lord to restore joy and strength, that she may *"mount up with wings like eagles; ... run, and not be weary; ... walk, and not faint"* (Isaiah 40:31, WEB). We pray for clarity in her courses, understanding in her studies, and the Lord’s hand upon her homework and tests. May she find her confidence in Christ alone, who is her wisdom and righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:30).
We also lift up the prayer meetings and sermons, asking the Lord to anoint them with His power and presence. May every word spoken be saturated with His truth, and may hearts be transformed by His Spirit. For the leadership and the Intro course, we pray for divine wisdom, unity, and a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit to equip and empower each one involved.
Lastly, we address the anger and frustrations you’ve mentioned. The Lord sees your heart, and we ask Him to replace every ounce of anger with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). *"Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath"* (Ephesians 4:26, WEB), but release it to the Lord, who is just and will make all things right in His time. Trust in Him to vindicate and to work all things for your good.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the faith of Your servant who has poured out their heart before You, trusting in Your goodness and power. Lord, we ask that You glorify Yourself in this family. Let Your light shine so brightly that all may see and know that You are God.
We lift up every member of this family to You, asking for salvation for the unsaved, that You would draw them to Yourself and open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. For those who are saved, we pray for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit, that they may walk in obedience and love, putting You first in all things. Lord, heal every sickness, deliver from every bondage, and protect from every scheme of the enemy. Surround them with Your angels and encircle them with Your fire, that no weapon formed against them shall prosper.
We pray for divine intervention in the difficult situations they face. Lord, You know every detail, and we ask that You act swiftly and powerfully. Block that which is not of You and rise up as their Defender. Grant wisdom, favor, and success in their work, especially in the meetings, tasks, and interactions ahead. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in all things.
For the little one and for ###, we ask for healing, comfort, and confidence. Lord, be their strength and their song. Open doors for godly friendships and academic success. Remove every obstacle and let them know beyond a shadow of a doubt that You hear their prayers and are working on their behalf.
We pray for unity and anointing in the prayer meetings, sermons, and leadership. May Your Spirit move mightily, drawing hearts to You and equipping Your servants for the work of the ministry.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You help with the anger and frustrations. Replace them with Your peace and patience. Help Your servant to trust in You fully, knowing that You are just and will make all things right.
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness. We stand on Your promises in Luke 18:7-8, Psalm 50:15, Psalm 91, and Isaiah 54:14-17, knowing that You are our Refuge, our Strength, and our Deliverer. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
