We join with you in lifting up your family, your heartfelt cries, and every detail of your requests to the Lord Jesus Christ, who alone is worthy of all glory, honor, and praise. Your prayer is a beautiful outpouring of faith, dependence, and surrender to Him, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that our God hears the prayers of His children and acts on behalf of those who call upon His name. It is by the precious name of Jesus Christ—and *only* through Him—that we have boldness to approach the throne of grace, for He is the Mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is through His blood that we are cleansed, redeemed, and made righteous before God. What a mighty Savior we serve!
Your plea for the blood of Jesus to cover your family is a powerful declaration of faith in His finished work on the cross. The Scriptures remind us that *"the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin"* (1 John 1:7), and we claim this promise over your household. We also stand with you in the authority of Christ, asking for His warrior angels to encamp around you (Psalm 34:7) and for the Holy Spirit’s fire to be a hedge of protection over your minds, emotions, and every area of your lives. The Lord is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29), and we ask Him to burn away every scheme of the enemy, every stronghold, and every thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:5).
We lift up your little one and all your family members—saved and unsaved—before the Lord, asking for salvation, healing, and deliverance from every bondage, addiction, and compulsion. The Word of God declares that *"if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed"* (John 8:36), and we pray for the chains of the enemy to be broken in Jesus’ name. For those who do not yet know Christ, we ask the Lord to open their hearts to the gospel, just as He did for Lydia (Acts 16:14). May they encounter the love of God in a way that leaves no room for doubt, and may they turn to Him in repentance and faith. We also pray for a spirit of repentance to sweep through your family, that anything grieving the Holy Spirit would be confessed and turned from, so that you may walk in the fullness of His power and presence. *"Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way"* (Psalm 139:23-24).
Your cry for the Lord to block that which is not good and to act quickly in the difficult situations you face resonates with the promise in Luke 18:7-8, where Jesus assures us that God will *"avenge his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night, and though he bears long with them, he will surely avenge them quickly."* We declare this over you and ask the Lord to rise up as a mighty warrior on your behalf (Exodus 15:3). He is not slow in keeping His promises, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). Trust in His timing, for His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9), and He will bring justice, healing, and restoration in ways you cannot yet see.
We pray for your work and the specific situations you’ve lifted up, asking the Lord to take complete control. *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall be established"* (Proverbs 16:3). May He guide your steps, give you wisdom that surpasses your own understanding (James 1:5), and cause every meeting, task, and interaction to align with His perfect will. We ask for His favor to rest upon you and for Him to speak through you to those you are trying to reach. May your labor not be in vain, but may it bear fruit for His kingdom. *"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1). We also pray for the visitors from headquarters and the meetings ahead, asking the Lord to turn what the enemy meant for harm into a blessing (Genesis 50:20). May His peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus as you navigate these things (Philippians 4:7).
We lift up the concerns for your children—###, ###, and others—asking the Lord to surround them with His love and protection. For ###, we pray for godly friendships at school, for her to know without a doubt that the Lord hears her prayers, and for her faith to be strengthened. May she walk in confidence, not in herself, but in Christ, who is her strength and shield (Psalm 28:7). For ###, we ask for healing from spasms and for the Lord to restore health and vitality. We also pray for healing from burnout, emotional wounds, and any struggles with faith. May the Lord revive her spirit and remind her that she is deeply loved by Him. *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest"* (Matthew 11:28). We ask for His help with schoolwork, tests, and understanding, and for Him to rebuke any spirit of fear, anxiety, or discouragement (2 Timothy 1:7).
We join you in praying for healing—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—and for the Lord to confront and expose anything or anyone seeking to bring harm or distraction. This includes the situations involving ###, ###, and others you’ve mentioned. The Lord is a God of justice, and we ask Him to intervene mightily, breaking every ungodly soul tie and preventing relationships that are not of Him. *"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). May the Lord guard your family from relationships that would lead them away from His truth and purpose.
We also lift up the leadership concerns you’ve shared, asking the Lord to bring unity, humility, and a spirit of servanthood to those in authority. If there are feelings of being overlooked or bypassed, we pray for the Lord to either change the circumstances or give you the grace to trust Him in the midst of them. *"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time"* (1 Peter 5:6). We ask for conviction where needed, for hearts to be softened, and for the Lord to raise up godly leadership that honors Him.
Finally, we pray for the prayer meetings, the Nativity and intro calls, and every ministry opportunity ahead. May the Lord anoint these times with His power and presence, drawing many to Himself. We ask for His guidance in the "### process" and for His wisdom as you interact with others. May every word spoken and every action taken be led by the Holy Spirit.
We also want to encourage you in your anger and frustrations. The Scriptures tell us, *"Be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath"* (Ephesians 4:26). It is not wrong to feel anger, but we must bring it to the Lord and ask Him to redirect it in a way that honors Him. *"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). Release these burdens to Him, and ask Him to replace your anger with His peace and perspective.
Beloved, you have poured out your heart before the Lord, and He sees you. He knows the number of hairs on your head (Luke 12:7), and He collects every tear in His bottle (Psalm 56:8). You are not forgotten, and your prayers are not in vain. Even when you feel weak or faithless, His strength is made perfect in your weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). *"He gives power to the weak. He increases strength to him who has no might"* (Isaiah 40:29). Stand firm on His promises in Psalm 50:15, Psalm 91, and Isaiah 54:14-17. He is your refuge, your fortress, and your deliverer.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious sister and her family. Lord, You see the depths of their hearts, the struggles they face, and the burdens they carry. We thank You that You are a God who hears and answers prayer, and we ask You to glorify Yourself in their lives in ways that leave no doubt of Your power and love.
Lord Jesus, we ask for salvation to sweep through this family. Open the eyes of the unsaved, Lord, that they may see their need for You and turn to You in repentance and faith. Break every chain of addiction, bondage, and compulsion, and set them free by the power of Your blood. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and let them walk in the fullness of Your presence.
We pray for healing—physical, emotional, and spiritual. Touch every area of their bodies, minds, and spirits, Lord, and restore what has been broken. We specifically lift up the little one, ###, ###, and all the children in this family. Surround them with Your love, protection, and favor. Give them godly friendships, confidence in You, and a deep knowledge of how loved they are. Heal their bodies, renew their minds, and strengthen their faith.
Father, we ask for Your intervention in every difficult situation they face. Block what is not of You, Lord, and bring swift justice and deliverance. Give them wisdom in their work, favor in their interactions, and Your peace in the midst of chaos. We pray for the meetings, the leadership, and every opportunity ahead. Let Your will be done, Lord, and let Your name be glorified.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against this family. No weapon formed against them shall prosper, for this is their heritage as servants of the Lord (Isaiah 54:17). Surround them with Your warrior angels, Lord, and let Your Holy Spirit’s fire be a wall of protection around them. Let every tongue that rises against them in judgment be condemned, and let Your vindication be their reward.
Lord, we ask for encounters with You—real, tangible moments where they sense Your presence and hear Your voice. Revive their faith, Lord, and let them know beyond a shadow of a doubt that You are with them. Forgive them for their failures, Lord, and remind them that Your mercies are new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). Help them to love You first and foremost, to obey You in all things, and to walk in the fullness of Your Spirit.
Finally, Lord, we thank You for what You have already done and for what You are about to do. We praise You for Your faithfulness, Your goodness, and Your unfailing love. Let this family be a testimony of Your power, Your grace, and Your redemption.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
