We join our hearts with yours in lifting up your family before the throne of grace. Your prayer is a beautiful reflection of the love and dependence on God that we are all called to embrace. We are reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 22:37-38, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment." It is clear you are seeking to align your family with this greatest of commandments, and we stand with you in that pursuit.
We also recognize the urgency in your plea for deliverance from evil. The world is filled with spiritual battles, and families are often targeted. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us, "For 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." We take up the armor of God alongside you, praying for protection over your family from every scheme of the enemy.
Father in Heaven, we come before You as one body, lifting up this family to Your care. Save them, Lord, from every snare of the enemy and from the temptations of this world. Protect them under the shadow of Your wings, guarding their hearts, minds, and bodies from harm. Heal every wound—physical, emotional, and spiritual—that they may carry. Bind up the brokenhearted and restore what has been lost or stolen from them.
We ask that You draw each member of this family closer to You, that they may love You with their whole hearts, souls, and minds. Let Your Holy Spirit fill their home with peace, joy, and unity. Deliver them from every form of evil, whether it be doubt, division, or the lies of the enemy. Strengthen their faith so they may stand firm in Your truth.
Lord, we also pray for any unrepentant sin that may be hindering Your blessings over this family. If there is unforgiveness, bitterness, or disobedience to Your Word, reveal it to them and grant them the grace to turn away from it. Let Your mercy and forgiveness flow freely in their lives, that they may walk in the freedom You have promised.
We thank You for the power of the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to You. There is no other name by which we can be saved, and we declare that this family is covered by the blood of Christ. May they grow in their knowledge and love for Him, and may their lives bring glory to Your name.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
