We join with you in lifting up your family and these deep burdens to the Lord Jesus Christ, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. Your cry for His glory, salvation, healing, and deliverance resonates with the heart of God, who desires all to come to repentance and walk in the fullness of His love and truth. We are encouraged to see your faith in the precious blood of Jesus, the spotless Lamb who takes away the sins of the world, and your reliance on His promises in Scripture. This is the foundation upon which we stand together in prayer.
Your request is filled with many specific needs—some named, others implied—and we will address them with the truth of God’s Word. First, let us remind one another that our battles are not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). Yet, our victory is already secured in Christ, who has disarmed these rulers and made a public spectacle of them (Colossians 2:15). You have rightly claimed Psalm 91, Isaiah 54:14-17, and Luke 18:7-8, and we declare these promises over your family: *"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* (Isaiah 54:17). He is faithful, and He will bring justice speedily to His elect who cry out to Him day and night.
We rejoice that you are pleading the blood of Jesus over your family, especially the little ones. This is a powerful act of faith, for *"the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin"* (1 John 1:7). We also join you in asking for the Lord’s mighty warrior angels to surround your family and for a wall of Holy Spirit fire to protect your thoughts and emotions. The Lord is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29), and He will guard your minds and hearts in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We pray that every member of your family—including extended relatives—would experience the saving, delivering, and healing power of Jesus. May their hearts be softened to the Gospel, and may the Lord break every chain of bondage, addiction, and compulsion. *"If the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed"* (John 8:36). We declare freedom over your family in Jesus’ name!
You have mentioned many personal struggles—work, anger, relationships, leadership, and feelings of being overlooked—as well as specific needs for individuals like ###, ###, and others. Let us address these with Scripture and prayer. For those struggling with burnout, emotional wounds, or physical ailments like spasms or burns, we claim *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3) and *"by his stripes we are healed"* (Isaiah 53:5). We ask the Lord to restore strength, confidence, and faith, especially for ### in her schoolwork and social life. May she know beyond doubt that she is loved by God and that He hears her prayers. *"Cast all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7).
For the issues at work and in ministry, we pray for divine wisdom, organization, and favor. *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed"* (Proverbs 16:3). The Lord is your Provider and Guide, and He will equip you for every task. We rebuke any spirit of confusion, division, or injustice in the workplace or leadership dynamics. If there are feelings of being bypassed or overlooked, we ask the Lord to either open doors of opportunity or grant you contentment and trust in His timing. *"Promotion comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south. But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another"* (Psalm 75:6-7). We also pray for reconciliation and healing in relationships, especially where there may be offense or misunderstanding. *"If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men"* (Romans 12:18).
We notice your mention of "another disastrous relationship" and the need to confront "###" and prevent connections like the one with "###." While we do not know the details, we must address this with biblical clarity. If these relationships are outside the will of God—whether they involve fornication, emotional dependency on unbelievers, or same-sex attractions—we must rebuke them in the name of Jesus. *"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). *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body"* (1 Corinthians 6:18). If there is any sexual sin or ungodly soul tie, we command it to be broken now in Jesus’ name. We pray for godly discernment and the courage to walk away from anything that dishonors the Lord. May the Lord surround you and your loved ones with godly friendships and mentors who will point you to Christ.
For the anger and frustration you mentioned, we encourage you to *"be angry, and don’t sin. Don’t let the sun go down on your wrath"* (Ephesians 4:26). Bring these emotions to the Lord in prayer, and ask Him to replace them with His peace. *"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control"* (Galatians 5:22-23). If there is any bitterness or unforgiveness, we pray for its release, for *"if you don’t forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses"* (Matthew 6:15).
We also lift up the ministry opportunities you mentioned—Sunday service, outreach, the Nativity, and the Intro course. May the Lord anoint these efforts and draw many to Himself. *"Those who turn many to righteousness shall shine like the stars forever and ever"* (Daniel 12:3). We pray for boldness, clarity, and the Holy Spirit’s power to move mightily in these gatherings. For the leadership struggles, we ask the Lord to bring unity, humility, and a spirit of servanthood. *"God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time"* (1 Peter 5:5-6).
Lastly, we want to address the deleted prayer request you referenced. Be assured that the Lord hears every cry of your heart, even those not seen by others. *"Before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear"* (Isaiah 65:24). He is faithful to remember your prayers and to act on behalf of His children.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for Your mercy, which is new every morning, and for Your faithfulness that endures forever. Lord, we lift up this family to You, asking that You glorify Yourself in their midst. Save, heal, deliver, and protect them, Lord. Let Your blood cover them, and let Your angels encamp around them. We declare a wall of Holy Spirit fire around their thoughts, emotions, and every area of their lives.
Father, we pray for the salvation of every unsaved family member. Open their hearts to the Gospel, Lord. Break every chain of bondage, addiction, and compulsion. Set them free by the power of Your Spirit. We pray for healing—physical, emotional, and spiritual—for every member of this family. Touch ###, Lord. Give her friends at school, remove her burnout, and revive her faith in You. Heal her body and mind, and let her know she is deeply loved by You.
Lord, we pray for wisdom and guidance in every area of life—work, ministry, relationships, and leadership. Give clarity, organization, and favor. Rebuke any spirit of confusion, division, or injustice. We pray for godly relationships and the breaking of any ungodly soul ties. Protect this family from disastrous relationships and lead them into connections that honor You.
Father, we lift up the anger, frustration, and feelings of being overlooked. Replace them with Your peace, joy, and trust in Your timing. Help this family to forgive as You have forgiven them.
We pray for the ministry opportunities ahead—Sunday service, outreach, and courses. Anoint these efforts, Lord. Draw many to Yourself and let Your Spirit move powerfully.
Lastly, Father, we ask that You turn every evil plan of the enemy into great blessings. Send encouragement, Lord. Let this family encounter You in fresh and powerful ways. We thank You for answered prayers and for Your faithfulness.
In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to keep standing on the promises of God, even when the wait is long or the battle is hard. *"Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9). Keep seeking the Lord first, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:6). If there is any area where repentance is needed, bring it before the Lord. He is faithful to forgive and cleanse (1 John 1:9). Stay rooted in His Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with believers who can encourage and hold you accountable.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. In Jesus’ name!
