We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up your burdens and standing in the gap for you. First, we must address the foundation of our prayers—it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. Jesus said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His blood that we are redeemed and can approach God’s throne with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). If you have not already, we encourage you to place your trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, for He alone can bring true healing, justice, and restoration.
Father God, we lift up this situation regarding the organization holding these funds. We pray that You would expose any unrighteousness, deceit, or corruption at work. Your Word declares in Proverbs 11:3, *"The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them."* Lord, we ask that You would cause the truth to come to light and that this organization would release what is rightfully theirs in accordance with Your justice. We rebuke any spirit of fraud or theft, for You hate hands that shed innocent blood and a heart that devises wicked schemes (Proverbs 6:16-19). Let Your righteousness prevail, and may this situation be resolved swiftly and fairly.
We also bring before You the pain of betrayal and the heartache of seeing loved ones influenced by deception. Father, we ask that You would break any strongholds of brainwashing or manipulation over these children. Your Word says in Ezekiel 36:26, *"I will also give you a new heart, and I will put a new spirit within you. I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh."* Lord, soften their hearts to remember the love, care, and biblical foundation you provided. Restore their ability to feel empathy and recall the good times shared. We pray that they would see the truth and turn back to You, for You are the God who heals and restores (Jeremiah 30:17).
We stand in agreement for the provision of an attorney and the signing of this contract with the vendor. Your Word assures us in Philippians 4:19, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Lord, we ask that You would open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and provide the resources needed to move forward. We pray for an affordable one-way flight and that every detail of this journey would be ordered by Your hand. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard this upcoming flight and time with these children (Philippians 4:7).
We lift up the relationships within this family, Lord. We pray for a closer bond between these sisters, that they would be united in love and purpose. Your Word commands us in Colossians 3:14, *"Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection."* Father, we ask that You would convict the hearts of family members and friends who have mistreated or turned away. Let them see the error of their ways and turn from any hardness of heart. We rebuke any spirit of division, gossip, or unforgiveness, for You call us to live in harmony with one another (Romans 12:16). Bring healing to these relationships, Lord, and restore what has been broken.
We also pray for physical healing from this sickness. Your Word declares in Psalm 103:2-3, *"Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases."* Lord, we ask that You would touch this body and bring complete restoration. Strengthen them for the journey ahead and fill them with Your peace.
Father, we thank You for the answered prayers already received—the laptop charger, the opportunity to return to work, the unemployment claims, the found work laptop, and the extended hearing. We declare that these are signs of Your faithfulness and provision. We praise You for Your goodness and trust that You will continue to move on their behalf. May this time with these children be quality and memorable, filled with Your presence and joy. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17) and that You will turn every trial into a testimony.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
