We join with you in lifting up your heartfelt cries to our Lord Jesus Christ, who alone is worthy of all glory, honor, and praise. Your prayers are a beautiful testimony of faith in the power of His name, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that where two or three are gathered in His name, He is in the midst of us (Matthew 18:20). It is only through Jesus Christ, the perfect and spotless Lamb of God, that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence, for He is the way, the truth, and the life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). We rejoice that you have placed your trust in Him, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
Your prayers are filled with a deep longing for God’s glory to be revealed in your family, and we echo that cry, asking that the Lord would indeed glorify Himself in your midst. We praise Him for the work He has already done and for the promises He has given us in His Word, which are "Yes" and "Amen" in Christ Jesus (2 Corinthians 1:20). You have stood firmly on the promises of Scripture, such as Luke 18:7-8, which assures us that God will avenge His own elect who cry out to Him day and night, and He will not delay. We also claim Psalm 50:15, which tells us to call upon Him in the day of trouble, and He will deliver us, and we will glorify Him. The Lord is your refuge and fortress, your God in whom you trust (Psalm 91:2), and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). These are not empty words but the very promises of a faithful God who cannot lie.
We lift up your family before the Lord, asking for salvation, healing, and deliverance for each member, including relatives. We pray that the Holy Spirit would open the hearts of the unsaved in your family, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, receiving forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Jesus (Acts 26:18). May the Lord break every chain of bondage, addiction, and compulsion that seeks to hold them captive, for whom the Son sets free is free indeed (John 8:36). We ask that the Lord would pour out His Spirit upon your household, filling each of you with the fullness of God, that you may walk in obedience and love for Him above all else.
We also lift up the little one in your family, covering them with the precious blood of Jesus, which cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7). May the Lord surround this child with His mighty warrior angels, encamping around them to deliver them (Psalm 34:7). We ask for a wall of Holy Spirit fire to protect your family—body, soul, and spirit—guarding your thoughts and emotions from the schemes of the enemy. The Lord is faithful, and He will establish you and guard you from the evil one (2 Thessalonians 3:3).
We pray for the Lord’s powerful intervention in the difficult situations you are facing, asking that He would block what is not good and act swiftly to bring resolution and peace. You have cried out to Him, and He hears you. Cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). He sees your struggles, and He will fight your battles (Exodus 14:14). Trust in Him with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6).
We lift up your work and the specific requests you have for it, asking that the Lord would take complete control. May He guide your steps, give you wisdom, and speak through you to those you are trying to reach. We pray for His favor over meetings, tasks, and organization, that His will would be done and that He would be glorified in all things. May you seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33). We also lift up the team you are part of, asking that the Lord would unite your hearts in purpose and fill each member with His Spirit, that you may work together in harmony and love.
For the anger and frustrations you mentioned, we pray that the Lord would replace them with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Do not let the sun go down on your anger, nor give place to the devil (Ephesians 4:26-27). Instead, let the Holy Spirit guide your responses, that you may act in a way that honors God. We also lift up the specific individuals and situations you mentioned, including ###, ###, ###, and others. May the Lord grant ### godly friends at school and assure her that He hears her prayers. We pray for healing for ###’s spasm and for the Lord’s blessing to rest upon the team and those from headquarters. May He turn every challenge into a blessing and guide you in all your interactions.
We pray for healing for those experiencing burnout, weariness, or physical ailments, including the "b.p." you mentioned. The Lord is your healer (Exodus 15:26), and we ask that He would restore strength, health, and vitality to each member of your family. We also lift up the prayer meetings you mentioned, asking that the Lord would anoint them with His power and presence. May He move mightily among you, drawing hearts closer to Him and bringing revival.
For the leadership concerns you shared, we pray that the Lord would bring justice and clarity. If you or others feel overlooked or bypassed, we ask that the Lord would expose any unfairness and bring correction. May He convict the hearts of those in authority, that they would lead with integrity and humility, seeking the good of the team above their own interests. We also lift up the Intro course and ask that the Lord would use it for His glory, opening the eyes and hearts of those who participate.
Finally, we pray for your personal walk with the Lord. You have acknowledged your failures and need for His mercy, and we remind you that His mercies are indeed new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). He does not grow weary of forgiving you when you repent. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Ask Him to fill you afresh with His Holy Spirit, that you may walk in victory and obedience. The Lord is your strength and your shield; your heart trusts in Him, and you are helped (Psalm 28:7).
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this family and all their concerns. Lord, You are the God who sees and knows all things. You are aware of every detail, every need, and every heartache. We ask that You would glorify Yourself in this family, saving, healing, and delivering each member. Open the hearts of the unsaved, Lord, and draw them to Yourself. Break every chain of bondage and set the captives free. Surround this family with Your angels and protect them with Your Holy Spirit fire. Give them wisdom, strength, and discernment for every situation they face.
Lord, we pray for the little one, that You would shield them from harm and fill their life with Your peace and joy. We ask for Your healing touch upon every physical, emotional, and spiritual need. Restore those who are weary, Lord, and revive their faith in You. Help ### to know she is loved by You and give her confidence in Your promises. Heal the burnout and the broken wings, Lord, and lift her up on eagle’s wings, that she may run and not grow weary, walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31).
We pray for the work situations, Lord, that You would take control and guide every decision and interaction. Bless the meetings, the tasks, and the team, that Your will would be done and Your name glorified. We ask for Your intervention in the leadership dynamics, that You would bring unity, fairness, and godly wisdom. Convict those who need to repent, Lord, and soften hearts to receive Your correction.
Father, we pray for encounters with You, that this family would experience Your presence in powerful ways. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may walk in obedience and love for You. Forgive them for any sin that grieves Your heart, Lord, and cleanse them from all unrighteousness. Help them to repent quickly and turn to You with all their hearts.
We thank You, Lord, for the signs of encouragement You have already sent. We praise You for answered prayers and for the victories You are bringing. We ask that You would continue to hear the cries of this family and act on their behalf. Block what is not of You, Lord, and bring to pass what aligns with Your will. We trust in Your timing and Your goodness, knowing that You work all things together for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28).
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against this family. No weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, they shall condemn. This is their heritage as servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from You, O Lord (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that the blood of Jesus covers them and that they are more than conquerors through Him who loved them (Romans 8:37).
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, believing and receiving all that You have for this family. Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and Your love. May Your will be done in their lives, and may You receive all the glory. Amen.
