Lord Jesus please glorify yourself

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer reveals an earnest heart, but take care lest the many words and the multitude of cares choke out the simplicity of faith. You plead the precious blood of Christ and it is enough; the sign of the Cross is your only weapon and healing, not the multiplying of angels or walls of fire, for these things, when trusted in beyond the plain promise of the gospel, can become a kind of amulet. A faithful mother who refuses such charms for her sick child counts it as martyrdom, choosing the Cross alone. Do not add to your prayer what borders on superstition; cling to Christ and Him crucified.

I hear also a cry for God to confront and rebuke those who trouble you. But remember, the Lord came not to judge the world but to save it. To pray against anyone, however justified it seems, is an unlawful prayer that adds to your sins. Instead, pray for their salvation, bless them, and leave vengeance to God. The afflictions you endure in your family, your work, and your ministry are not without purpose; they work for your comfort and salvation, forming in you the patient endurance of Christ’s own sufferings. Even John the Baptist, in chains, did not doubt, but boldly fulfilled his witness. So you, though feeling weak, stand firm.

You confess that you often fail. Repent, then, not only of venting behind another’s back, but of every anxiety and worldly care. For hearing sermons and saying many prayers will not save you; you must cultivate the virtues, fortitude, contempt of riches, and above all love, working out your own salvation with fear and trembling. The Lord is true, and His mercies are new every morning. Let your chief petition be for the salvation of all those souls you name, beginning with your own. Wait upon Him with hope, and He will act in His time, not in the hurry of your fears.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer rises to the throne of grace with an urgency that God does not ignore. His ear is not heavy, nor is His arm short. The cry you make, standing on the promise of Luke 18, that the Lord would act swiftly on behalf of His elect who cry day and night, is a plea He delights to answer. He is the captain of your salvation, the one who initiated it and will complete it. That is the greatest miracle, far above any other healing or deliverance. The forgiveness of sins and adoption into His family remains the unshakable foundation beneath every other request.

When you plead the precious blood of Jesus over your family, you are speaking the language of the new covenant. The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world has covered you. That blood is not a charm; it is the evidence that sin’s penalty is paid and its power is broken. Continue to cry out for the salvation of every unsaved relative. The grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all. Today is the day of salvation. Do not lose heart if you see no movement yet. The enemy lies when he whispers that your loved ones are beyond reach. The bond in the body of Christ runs deeper than natural blood. Whether they come now or later, you have gained a hundredfold family in the children of God who stand with you.

You asked for healing in many forms. Healing is as diverse as our afflictions. Sometimes it is instantaneous and miraculous; at other times it is a gradual process set in motion by the hand that designed the body. Both are divine. The prophet saw that the work of the suffering servant carried physical healing in its scope. Yet God does not always will the healing of every infirmity on this side of glory. That is not a lack of power but the presence of a higher purpose. The thorn in the flesh was not removed from the apostle, yet grace was made sufficient. Whether the spasm lifts, the burnout mends, or the soul finds calm, the greatest healing is always a heart turned fully to the Lord.

You mention conflict and a relationship you want the Lord to stop. God’s divine ideal is a marriage that remains for life, a covenant of one man and one woman becoming one in holiness and love. Anything outside that ideal falls short of His design. When hardness of heart made that ideal seem impossible, the law made a concession, but the divine order remains. Pray for the salvation of those caught in unbiblical bonds, that they would be delivered from deception and brought to repentance. Continue to entrust that situation to the Judge who confronts evil and heals wounds. Your own frustrations, and words spoken in haste behind another’s back, are met with fresh mercies this morning. His mercies are new every sunrise, so bring that failure to Him and receive cleansing.

Do not rely on your own strength to work your way into favor. Working out your own salvation with fear and trembling does not mean working for it. The price was paid entirely outside of you, by grace through faith. That same grace teaches you to say no to ungodliness and to live soberly in this present age. When motivation fails and your mind feels scattered, remember that you can do nothing without Him. He is the head over every order: Christ over the man, the man over his household, and God over all. Confess your dependency, and the Spirit who fills you will provide the wisdom for your work, your planning, your shepherding, and every meeting you face.

Take courage from the prayer meetings and outreaches where you have already seen His anointing. The fruit from the homeless ministry and the Easter witness did not fall on barren ground. Jesus first began to speak of this great salvation, and He continues to pursue every soul who heard. What the enemy meant for evil, God will turn into blessing. The feeling of being overlooked or bypassed is a heavy burden, but the Lord sees the hidden service done in His name. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light.

Cast yourself upon Psalm 50:15: call upon Him in the day of trouble; He will deliver you, and you will glorify Him. Lean fully on the shadow of the Almighty in Psalm 91. No weapon formed against your little one or your household will prosper, for this is your heritage as a servant of the Lord. Your prayer is heard. Stand still, and see the salvation of your God.

We have been lifting your family up before the throne of grace, standing in agreement with your heartfelt plea for God’s glory to shine in every area of your lives. It has been our privilege to intercede for your household—asking for salvation, healing, deliverance, and protection over each member, especially the little one you so tenderly entrusted to the covering of Jesus’ precious blood.

We have prayed for warrior angels to encircle you, for a wall of Holy Spirit fire to guard your thoughts and emotions, and for every bondage, addiction, and ungodly influence to be broken in Jesus’ mighty name. We have asked the Lord to open the hearts of unsaved loved ones, to deliver them from every chain, and to move swiftly in the difficult situations you described. We have claimed the promises of Luke 18:7-8, Psalm 91, and Isaiah 54:14-17 on your behalf, trusting that God hears and acts on behalf of His children.

If the Lord has already answered any of these prayers—whether through healing, breakthrough, or a tangible sense of His presence—we rejoice with you and invite you to share a praise report so we can glorify God together. If some requests still feel unanswered, we encourage you to post them again so we can continue standing with you in faith. The battle belongs to the Lord, and we believe He is fighting for you even now.

May the Father fill you afresh with His Holy Spirit, grant you wisdom in every decision, and remind you daily of His unfailing mercies, which are new every morning. May you encounter His presence in powerful ways as you seek Him above all else. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus. Amen.
