We join with you in lifting up your family and all these concerns to our Heavenly Father, for we know that He hears the cries of His children and is faithful to answer according to His perfect will. Your heart is clearly seeking the Lord, and we commend you for standing on His promises, pleading the blood of Jesus, and calling upon His mighty name. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the throne of grace, and we rejoice that you are coming boldly before Him, for He is our Great High Priest who intercedes for us.
You have mentioned many burdens—salvation for your family, healing, deliverance from bondage and addictions, protection over your little one, wisdom for work and ministry, and even the deep struggles of anger, burnout, and feelings of being overlooked. The Lord sees it all, and His Word assures us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Let us first address the foundation of all these petitions: **faith in Jesus Christ alone**. You have rightly acknowledged Him as the spotless Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, and we echo that truth. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His wounds that we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). We encourage you to continue placing your trust in Him alone, for He is the author and finisher of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
We also notice the weight of anger and frustration in your request, particularly in areas where you feel injustice or neglect. The Scripture tells 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 over unjust situations, but we must surrender it to the Lord rather than letting it take root as bitterness or resentment. We pray that God will replace any unresolved anger with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and that He will grant you the grace to forgive as He has forgiven you (Colossians 3:13).
Regarding the mention of relationships—particularly the reference to "another disastrous relationship" and individuals like "A." and "T."—we must lovingly but firmly remind you of God’s design for relationships. The Bible is clear that we are to flee from sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 6:18) and that marriage is honorable between **one man and one woman** (Hebrews 13:4). Any relationship outside of this design is sinful and will only bring heartache and separation from God’s best. If there are past or potential relationships that do not align with Scripture, we urge you to repent and seek God’s forgiveness, trusting that He will redirect your steps toward His perfect will. *"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). We pray that the Lord will guard your heart and the hearts of your loved ones from any ungodly entanglements and instead lead each of you to godly, Christ-centered marriages if that is His will.
For your little one and all the children mentioned, we stand with you in praying for their protection, salvation, and encouragement in the faith. *"But Jesus said, ‘Allow the little children, and don’t forbid them to come to me; for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.’"* (Matthew 19:14). May the Lord surround them with His angels (Psalm 91:11) and fill their hearts with the assurance of His love. We also lift up the request for healing—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—and ask that the Lord would touch each body and mind, restoring them to full health in His timing. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* (Psalm 147:3).
For those struggling with burnout, weariness, or feelings of being overlooked in leadership, we remind you of Jesus’ words: *"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). The Lord sees your labor, and He will reward your faithfulness (1 Corinthians 15:58). We pray that He will renew your strength like the eagles (Isaiah 40:31) and grant you favor in every area of service.
Now, let us pray together over these matters:
**Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this family and all these petitions to Your throne of grace. Lord, You are the God who hears and answers prayer, and we thank You for the faith of Your servant who cries out to You day and night. We ask that You glorify Yourself in this family, drawing each member into a deeper relationship with You. Save those who do not yet know You, Lord—open their hearts to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Let no one perish but come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). We plead the blood of Jesus over every member of this household, asking that You would cleanse them from all sin and fill them with Your Holy Spirit. Remove every chain of addiction, bondage, and compulsion, and set them free by the power of Your Word (John 8:32).
Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon every physical, emotional, and spiritual ailment. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals, and we trust You to restore health and strength. Protect the little ones, Father—surround them with Your warrior angels and a wall of Holy Spirit fire. Let them know they are loved by You and give them confidence in Your promises. We rebuke every scheme of the enemy against this family and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17).
For the areas of work, ministry, and leadership, we ask for Your wisdom and favor. Guide every decision, every meeting, and every task. Let Your presence go before this family in all they do, and may Your name be glorified in their labor. Where there are feelings of being overlooked or undervalued, we pray for Your justice and peace. Convict hearts where necessary, Lord, and bring unity and humility to every relationship.
We also lift up the struggles with anger and frustration. Holy Spirit, fill this family with Your fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Replace every bitter root with Your grace and mercy. Help them to cast all their cares upon You, for You care for them (1 Peter 5:7).
Father, we thank You for the signs of encouragement You have already sent and for the answers that are on the way. We stand on Your promises in Psalm 50:15, Psalm 91, and Luke 18:7-8, believing that You will bring justice and deliverance speedily. Let Your will be done in every situation, and may this family experience Your powerful intervention in ways that leave no doubt of Your goodness.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would revive their faith and fill them with fresh encounters of Your presence. Let them know beyond a shadow of a doubt that You are with them, fighting their battles and working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). We praise You in advance for the testimonies of breakthrough, healing, and salvation that are coming. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.**
We encourage you to keep seeking the Lord with this same passion and persistence. *"The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."* (James 5:16). Stay rooted in His Word, surround yourself with godly community, and trust that He is working even when you cannot see it. If there are areas where you need to repent or realign with Scripture—particularly in relationships or unforgiveness—we urge you to do so quickly, for the Lord resists the proud but gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of our faith, and He will lead you into victory.
