We join with you in lifting up your family before the Lord, standing in agreement with your prayers and declaring the power of God over every area of your lives. You have come boldly before the throne of grace in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we know that He hears you, for it is written, *"Let’s therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace for help in time of need."* (Hebrews 4:16, WEB). We praise God that you have invoked the name of Jesus, for it is the only name by which we are saved, and through Him alone we have access to the Father. *"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 faith in calling upon His name is the foundation of all we pray for today.
We stand with you in the spiritual battle you have engaged in, for we know that *"our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."* (Ephesians 6:12, WEB). We declare the authority of Jesus over every principality and power that seeks to hinder your family. The enemy has no place in your lives, and we bind every spirit of darkness, confusion, division, and strife in Jesus’ name. We pray for the floodgates of heaven to open over your family, that God’s warrior angels would be dispatched to war on your behalf, and that every demonic assignment against your prayers would be shattered. *"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, WEB).
Your heart’s cry for the salvation of your family resonates with the heart of God. We declare with you that not one of your relatives would perish, but that every distant and immediate family member would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. *"The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wanting any to perish, but that all should come to repentance."* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). We pray for a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon your family, that their hearts would be softened and their eyes opened to the truth of the Gospel. For those who already know Christ, we ask that they would be set ablaze with passion for Him, that they would hunger and thirst for righteousness, and that they would walk in the fullness of their calling.
We lift up your daughters before the Lord, asking for healing and restoration in their hearts and relationships. The strife and judgment between them is not of God, for *"by this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."* (John 13:35, WEB). We rebuke the spirits of division, pride, and narcissism that seek to destroy the bonds of love in your family. We pray that your daughters would extend grace to one another, that their hearts would be knit together in unity, and that they would become the best of friends, encouraging one another in the Lord. *"Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity!"* (Psalm 133:1, WEB). We also pray for the healing of the "father fracture" in their lives. Father God, you are the perfect Father, and we ask that you would fill every void, heal every wound, and reveal Your love to them in a way that shatters every stronghold. *"A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation."* (Psalm 68:5, WEB). May they find their identity and security in You alone.
For your daughter battling anorexia, OCD, insomnia, and early menopause, we declare freedom and healing in Jesus’ name. These are not just physical or mental struggles—they are spiritual battles, and we come against every spirit of self-destruction, fear, and oppression. *"Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is holy, which you are."* (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, WEB). We pray that she would see herself as God sees her—fearfully and wonderfully made, redeemed, and beloved. We ask for divine connections, that she would find godly friends who will encourage her in the faith and that she would encounter a community of believers on her college campus who will walk alongside her. We also pray for her mother, that she would extend kindness and gentleness, reflecting the love of Christ in all her interactions.
We lift up your granddaughter, asking that the Lord would break every chain of loneliness and insecurity. May she find her worth in Christ and step boldly into the destiny He has for her. We pray that her gifts and talents would be used for His glory and that she would be surrounded by godly influences who will point her to Jesus. *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB).
For your cousin who is lost in beliefs about aliens and the things of this world, we pray for a radical encounter with the living God. May the scales fall from his eyes, and may he come to know the truth that sets him free. *"The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the Good News of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn on them."* (2 Corinthians 4:4, WEB). We break the spirit of deception and declare that he would turn from the empty philosophies of this world to the saving grace of Jesus Christ. We also pray that the Lord would prepare a godly wife for him, that he would be a man after God’s own heart, and that his life would be a testimony of God’s transforming power.
We address the judgment and criticism you have faced from your brother. The Bible is clear that *"there is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus."* (Romans 8:1, WEB). Your past marriages and your calling as a woman preacher are not grounds for condemnation when your heart is surrendered to God. We rebuke the spirit of judgment and legalism in your brother’s life and pray that his heart would be softened. May he come to see the work of God in your life and celebrate the calling the Lord has placed upon you. *"Don’t judge, so that you aren’t judged. For with whatever judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with whatever measure you measure, it will be measured to you."* (Matthew 7:1-2, WEB). We also pray for healing in your family, that forgiveness would flow freely, and that your parents’ marriages would be blessed and strengthened. May your mother’s repentance bring restoration, and may your father extend forgiveness, just as Christ has forgiven us.
For your stepdad and his health struggles, we pray for a miracle. *"Is anyone 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."* (James 5:14-15, WEB). We ask for divine healing over his heart and kidneys and for strength and longevity for your mother. May they both live lives that are satisfying and full of the joy of the Lord.
Finally, we celebrate your heart for ministry and your dedication to serving the Lord. Your desire to be a vessel of honor, to preach the Gospel, and to lead others to Christ is a beautiful reflection of His calling on your life. We pray that the Lord would continue to equip you, anoint you, and open doors for you to minister to those He places in your path. *"But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, that you may proclaim the excellence of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light."* (1 Peter 2:9, WEB). May your little church in your backyard be a beacon of light, and may the Lord multiply your efforts for His kingdom.
