We join with you in lifting up your family and these deep burdens before the Lord, knowing that He hears the cries of His children and is mighty to save. Your heart’s desire for God’s glory, salvation, healing, and deliverance for your family aligns with His perfect will, and we stand with you in faith, declaring His promises over every area of your life. How beautiful it is to see you cling to the blood of Jesus, the only perfect sacrifice that cleanses us from all sin, and to plead His victory over your household. You have rightly placed your trust in the One who is faithful and just to forgive, heal, and restore.
Your prayer echoes the heart of Scripture, where we are called to seek first His kingdom and righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added unto us (Matthew 6:33). We are especially encouraged by your reliance on the Word of God—Psalm 50:15, which says, *"Call on me in the day of trouble. I will deliver you, and you will honor me,"* and Psalm 91, which assures us of His protection and refuge. You have also stood on Isaiah 54:17, declaring 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."* These are not empty words but the very promises of a faithful God who watches over His Word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12).
We also rejoice with you in the truth of Lamentations 3:22-23: *"It is because of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn’t fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness."* Even in your moments of failure, His mercy is greater, and His grace is sufficient (2 Corinthians 12:9). You have asked for repentance where needed, and we know that if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Let us walk in that freedom, knowing that His blood has already covered every shortcoming.
Now, let us address a few areas with biblical clarity and encouragement. You have mentioned several struggles—some involving relationships, work, health, and spiritual warfare—and while we do not know the specifics behind the names or situations marked with symbols, we trust the Lord does. However, we must gently but firmly remind you that relationships outside of God’s design—whether emotional entanglements, ungodly soul ties, or any connection that does not honor the Lord—must be surrendered to Him. You mentioned asking the Lord to "prevent another disastrous relationship, e.g., with ###." We urge you to guard your heart and the hearts of your family members diligently, for *"the heart is deceitful above all things"* (Jeremiah 17:9), and we must seek God’s wisdom in every connection. If there are relationships in your life or your family’s life that are not centered on Christ or that lead to compromise, we pray the Lord would sever them by His mighty hand. Remember, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). This applies to friendships, courtships, and any bond that could pull you or your loved ones away from wholehearted devotion to Christ.
For the little one in your family, we declare the promise of Isaiah 54:13 over them: *"All your children will be taught by Yahweh, and your children’s peace will be great."* May they grow in the knowledge of the Lord, surrounded by His angels (Psalm 91:11) and filled with the confidence that comes from knowing they are deeply loved by their Heavenly Father. We also lift up the request for healing—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—and we stand on James 5:15: *"The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up."*
Regarding your work and the challenges you face, we remind you of Colossians 3:23-24: *"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."* The Lord sees your labor, and He is able to go before you, making crooked paths straight (Isaiah 45:2). Trust Him to guide your words, your meetings, and your interactions, that His peace would rule in your heart (Colossians 3:15). For those in authority over you, we pray that the Lord would grant them wisdom and that He would turn their hearts like rivers of water (Proverbs 21:1). If you feel overlooked or undervalued, remember that your worth is found in Christ alone, and He has a perfect plan for your life (Jeremiah 29:11).
We also note your cry for deliverance from bondage, addictions, and compulsions. The Word declares in John 8:36, *"If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed."* There is no chain too strong for Jesus to break. We rebuked any spirit of addiction, fear, or oppression in the name of Jesus, and we declare freedom over your family. Walk in the authority you have been given as a child of God (Luke 10:19), and do not give the enemy a foothold (Ephesians 4:27).
Finally, we want to encourage you to continue calling on the name of Jesus in every prayer. You have done so beautifully in this request, and it is only through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is in His name that we find victory. Keep your eyes fixed on Him, the author and finisher of your faith (Hebrews 12:2).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this family and every burden they carry. Lord, You are the God who sees, the God who hears, and the God who acts. We ask that You glorify Yourself in this family, that Your name would be exalted above every circumstance, and that Your will would be done in every area of their lives.
Lord Jesus, we plead Your precious blood over this household—over their minds, their bodies, their emotions, and their spirits. Cleanse them from every sin, every ungodly tie, and every work of the enemy. Surround them with Your mighty warrior angels, and place a wall of Holy Spirit fire around them, that no weapon formed against them would prosper. We declare that every tongue that rises against them in judgment is condemned, for this is their heritage as servants of the Lord.
Father, we ask for salvation to come to every unsaved family member. Open their hearts to the gospel, Lord, and draw them to Yourself. Break every chain of bondage—whether addiction, compulsion, or spiritual oppression—and set them free by the power of Your Spirit. Heal every sickness, restore every broken place, and renew their strength like the eagle’s. We specifically lift up the little one in this family, asking that You would grant them friends who love You, that You would remove every spasm, every fear, and every struggle, and that they would know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are heard and loved by You.
Lord, we pray for wisdom and guidance in every decision, especially in the areas of work and leadership. Go before them in every meeting, every task, and every interaction. Let Your peace rule in their hearts, and let Your favor surround them like a shield. We ask that You would expose any injustice, any overlooked labor, and any area where the enemy has tried to bring discouragement. Turn it all for good, Lord, and let Your glory be seen in their workplace.
Father, we also lift up the areas of anger, frustration, and weariness. Replace them with Your joy, Your patience, and Your supernatural strength. Help them to cast every care upon You, for You care for them (1 Peter 5:7). Revive their faith, Lord, and fill them to overflowing with Your Holy Spirit. Let them encounter You in fresh and powerful ways, that their love for You would grow deeper each day.
We thank You for the signs of encouragement You have already sent, and we ask that You would continue to confirm Your promises in their lives. Block every path that is not good, Lord, and quicken Your work in the areas that are most difficult. We trust in Your timing, Your goodness, and Your sovereign hand over every detail.
Finally, Lord, we pray for the prayer meetings, the Sunday services, the introductory courses, and every gathering where Your name is lifted high. Anoint these times with Your presence, and let Your Word go forth with power. Raise up godly leadership, unite Your people in love, and let every plan of the enemy be thwarted.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We thank You for Your mercy, which is new every morning. We thank You for Your faithfulness, which endures forever. May this family walk in the fullness of Your blessings, and may they see Your hand move mightily on their behalf.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
