We join with you in lifting up your family and every concern before the Lord Jesus, for it is only through His mighty name that we have boldness to approach the throne of grace. Your prayer is filled with deep faith, and we echo your cries for salvation, healing, deliverance, and protection over your household, knowing that our God is faithful to hear and answer according to His perfect will.
You have rightly placed your trust in the blood of Jesus, the spotless Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29). His sacrifice is our only hope, and we stand with you in pleading His blood over your family, especially the little ones, as a covering against every scheme of the enemy. The Lord has promised in Isaiah 54:17, *"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 from me,” says Yahweh.* Let this truth anchor your heart as you trust Him to surround you with His mighty warrior angels and a wall of Holy Spirit fire—a divine protection over your minds, emotions, and every area of your lives.
We also lift up your unsaved family members, asking the Lord to open their hearts to the Gospel. The Word declares in 2 Peter 3:9, *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."* May the Holy Spirit convict them of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8), drawing them into a saving relationship with Christ. For those already in the faith, we pray for deliverance from every bondage—whether addictions, compulsions, or spiritual strongholds—that hinders their walk with God. The apostle Paul reminds us in Galatians 5:1, *"Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."*
Your cry for the Lord to block what is not good and to act swiftly in the difficult situations you face resonates with us. We stand on Luke 18:7-8 with you, trusting that *"Won’t God avenge his chosen ones, who are crying out to him day and night, and yet he exercises patience with them? I tell you that he will avenge them quickly."* The Lord sees your tears, and He is not indifferent to your pain. He is the God who fights for His people (Exodus 14:14), and we ask Him to rise up in your defense, confronting every enemy and turning what was meant for harm into a testimony of His glory.
We also lift up your requests concerning work, asking the Lord to take full control—guiding your team, granting wisdom, and opening doors for His purposes to prevail. Colossians 3:23-24 reminds us, *"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."* May He align every meeting, task, and interaction with His will, ensuring that His name is exalted in all you do. We pray specifically for the visitors from headquarters, the meetings on Monday and Tuesday, and the devotional time—may the Lord’s presence be tangibly felt, and may His peace guard your heart as you navigate these responsibilities.
Your heart for your children and loved ones is evident, and we join you in praying for ###, that the Lord would grant her godly friendships at school and assure her that He hears her prayers. For ###, we ask for the removal of spasms and complete healing, trusting in the promise of Jeremiah 30:17: *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh."* We also lift up the request for healing from burnout and the revival of faith in those who are struggling. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18), and we ask Him to restore confidence, joy, and a deep assurance of His love to each one.
We notice your mention of relationships that are not aligned with biblical principles, particularly your prayer to prevent another "disastrous relationship" and your reference to individuals by initials. We must lovingly but firmly address this: Scripture is clear that relationships outside of God’s design—whether premarital, extramarital, or same-sex—are sinful and grieve the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 commands, *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* If there are relationships in your family or circle that contradict God’s Word, we urge repentance and a turning away from such paths. The Lord’s desire is for holiness, and He provides the grace to walk in obedience (1 Thessalonians 4:3-5). We pray that the Lord would expose and break every ungodly soul tie, bringing conviction and a hunger for righteousness.
Your request for healing—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—is one we take seriously. James 5:14-15 encourages us, *"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."* We ask the Lord to touch every area of brokenness, including the "###" and "###" you mentioned, and to restore health and wholeness. May He also heal the wounds of rejection or being overlooked in leadership, granting you and ### a spirit of humility and trust in His timing. For ### and ###, we pray for conviction where needed and a heart that seeks to honor God above all.
Your mention of anger and other struggles reminds us of Ephesians 4:26-27: *"'Be angry, and don’t sin.’ Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath, neither give place to the devil."* We ask the Lord to help you process these emotions in a way that glorifies Him, releasing any bitterness or unforgiveness. May He fill you with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and grant you the grace to extend forgiveness as He has forgiven you.
We also lift up the prayer meetings, Nativity preparations, introductory courses, and every ministry effort you are involved in. May the Lord anoint these times with His power, drawing many to Himself. Your desire for the Lord to be first in everything is beautiful, and we pray that He would indeed take precedence in your life, your family, and your work. As you seek Him, may He grant you encounters with His presence that leave you forever changed.
Finally, we are struck by your gratitude even in the midst of struggle. This is a testament to your faith, and we encourage you to hold fast to 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."* Though you feel your failures, the Lord’s mercy is greater. He is the one who begins and completes the good work in you (Philippians 1:6), and we trust Him to guide, correct, and lead you into all truth.

Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, Lord, and help them to love You first and foremost, obeying Your voice in all things.
We rebuke every spirit of anger, fear, and discouragement in Jesus’ name. Replace it with Your peace, joy, and hope. Lord, we ask that You would expose and break every plan of the enemy against this family, turning what was meant for harm into a testimony of Your goodness.
Finally, Father, we thank You for Your mercy, which is new every morning. Thank You for Your faithfulness, even when we fail. We trust You to complete the work You have begun in this family, and we give You all the glory.
In the precious and mighty name of Jesus we pray, **Amen.**
