We are deeply moved by your heartfelt cries to the Lord and your unwavering faith in His power to bring breakthrough and restoration to your family. You have laid out your petitions with such trust in God’s perfect timing, and we join you in lifting these requests before His throne, knowing that He is faithful to hear and answer the prayers of His children. It is beautiful to see you acknowledging the name of Jesus in your prayers, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name by which we are saved. As it is written, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB).
Your dedication to your family and your resort, even in the midst of hardship, reflects the love and perseverance that God calls us to walk in. We see how you are trusting Him to provide, to restore, and to open doors that no man can shut. Yet we also want to encourage you to guard your heart against the weariness that can come from carrying such heavy burdens. Remember what Jesus said: *"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, WEB). You are not meant to carry these burdens alone—cast them upon the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
We rejoice with you in your desire to build a chapel within the resort, a place where people can encounter the peace and presence of God. This is a godly vision, for the Lord Himself has said, *"My house will be called a house of prayer for all nations."* (Isaiah 56:7, WEB). May this chapel become a beacon of hope and a place where many come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Alongside this, your dream of establishing a helping ministry aligns with the heart of God, who calls us to *"bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."* (Galatians 6:2, WEB). We pray that the Lord will bring the right people and resources to make this vision a reality, all for His glory.
We also want to address the weight of the financial struggles you are facing. The Bible reminds us that *"the borrower is servant to the lender"* (Proverbs 22:7, WEB), and we know that debt can feel like a heavy chain. Yet we serve a God who specializes in redemption and provision. Look to the story of the Israelites, who were commanded to cancel debts every seven years as a picture of God’s mercy (Deuteronomy 15:1-2). While we are not under the law, this principle shows us God’s heart for His people to walk in freedom. We pray that the Lord will provide supernatural breakthroughs for you to pay off these debts, just as He multiplied the oil for the widow in 2 Kings 4. Trust that He is able to do *"exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us"* (Ephesians 3:20, WEB).
We notice your deep love for your children and your brother, and your desire to see them thrive. It is right to seek the Lord’s provision for your son’s board exam, for your daughter’s education, and for your brother’s independence. Yet we also encourage you to remind them of their own responsibility before the Lord. For your son, pray that he would not only be provided for but that he would also walk in diligence and wisdom, *"for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap."* (Galatians 6:7, WEB). For your daughter ###, we pray that she would trust in the Lord’s timing for her education, knowing that *"unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain."* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). And for your brother, while it is noble to help him, pray that he would also seek the Lord’s direction for his life, that he may stand on his own with godly integrity and not become dependent on others.
Regarding your eldest son who is working abroad, we lift him up to the Lord, asking that God would soften his heart toward his family and give him a deep desire to return home. Pray that the Lord would protect him from the temptations and distractions that often come with being far from family, and that he would be a godly father to his child. *"Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain."* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). Trust that the Lord is working in his heart, even now.
We also want to speak into the unity of your family. You have mentioned the need for peace with your siblings, and we know that family strife can be one of the enemy’s greatest tools to hinder God’s blessings. *"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity! ... For there the Lord commands the blessing, even life forevermore."* (Psalm 133:1, 3, WEB). We pray that the Lord would heal any bitterness, jealousy, or division among you and your siblings, and that you would all seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that *"all these things will be given to you as well."* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Unity in the family is a powerful testimony to the world of God’s love and faithfulness.
As you seek to improve and manage the resort, we pray for divine wisdom and favor. Remember that *"the blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful labor for it."* (Proverbs 10:22, WEB). Ask the Lord to give you creative ideas, godly counsel, and supernatural favor with guests and potential staff. Pray also that the resort would be a place where God’s presence is tangibly felt, and that it would be a source of blessing not just for your family, but for all who enter its gates.
Finally, we want to encourage you in your walk with the Lord. You have shown great faith in crying out to Him, and we remind you that *"without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him."* (Hebrews 11:6, WEB). Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and keep declaring His promises over your life. The breakthrough you are praying for is not just about financial provision or family restoration—it is about the Lord being glorified in your life in such a way that others see His goodness and turn to Him.
Now, let us pray together over these requests:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today on behalf of our sister, lifting up her heart’s cries to Your throne of grace. Lord, You see the sleepless nights, the financial struggles, the burdens she carries for her family, and the dreams she has placed in Your hands. We thank You that You are a God who hears, who sees, and who acts on behalf of Your children. You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides, and we declare that You will supply all her needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19).
Father, we ask for Your supernatural provision for her son as he prepares for his board exam. Give him clarity of mind, retention of all he has studied, and peace that surpasses understanding. Provide every resource he needs, and let this season be a testimony of Your faithfulness. For her daughter ###, Lord, open the doors for her to return to school and pursue the course You have placed in her heart. Remove every obstacle, financial or otherwise, and let her education be a stepping stone to the purpose You have for her life. We also ask that You would repay every debt that her daughter has carried in her place. Lord, You are a God of justice and restoration—let no burden remain on her daughter’s shoulders, but let our sister be the one to see these debts cleared, in Jesus’ name.
Father, we pray for her eldest son who is far from home. Softening his heart, Lord, and draw him back to his family. Let him experience a deep longing to be reunited with his child and to walk in his role as a father and son. Protect him from every snare of the enemy, and let his return be swift and filled with Your peace. We also lift up the financial burdens of loans, credits, and the car debt. Lord, You own the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10), and we ask that You would provide supernatural breakthroughs to cancel these debts. Let favor come from unexpected places, and let our sister and her husband experience the joy of financial freedom.
For her brother, Lord, we pray that You would give him a fresh start. Provide opportunities for him to stand on his own, and let him walk in integrity and diligence. Break any spirit of dependency, and let him know the dignity of working with his own hands, as You have commanded. We also pray for the resort, Lord. Give our sister and her husband wisdom to manage it well, and let there be unity and peace among the siblings. Bless the resort, Lord, and let it be a place of rest, joy, and encounter with You. Provide godly staff who will be a blessing to the business and to their own families.
Father, we declare that the helping ministry and the chapel within the resort will come to pass. Let these visions be birthed in Your perfect timing, and let them be a light to many. Use our sister mightily to extend Your kingdom, and let her dreams align with Your will. Finally, Lord, we pray for the future security of our sister and her husband. Prepare a savings for them, and let their latter days be filled with Your peace and provision. Restore their strength, Lord, and let them walk in the fullness of Your promises.
Above all, Father, we pray for the restoration, unity, and peace of this family. Heal every wound, mend every broken relationship, and let Your love be the foundation of their home. Let them be a family that glorifies You in all things, and let their testimony draw others to Your saving grace.
We rebuke every spirit of fear, doubt, and discouragement that may try to creep in. We declare that our sister will see her breakthrough in Your perfect time, and that her suffering will turn to joy. Let her story be a testament to Your faithfulness, and let many come to know You through her life.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray, believing and receiving all that You have for her. Amen.
