We rejoice with you in your desire for a new fresh start and we thank God that His mercies are new every morning. We hear your longing for healing, for restored connections and communication with your Mom and your three children, for confidence and joy, and for godly love and marriage in your family. The Lord delights to make all things new and we pray with you for His will to be done in each of these areas.
We love your faith for healing and we agree together for the Lord to touch your hearing, your sight, and every area where you have felt numb or blocked or delayed. We pray that He would restore communication and closeness in your family. For He says, But I will restore you to health, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh Jeremiah 30:17 and Bless Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases Psalm 103:2-3. We also remember that fear and worry are not from Him, so we cast all our cares on Him because He cares for us 1 Peter 5:7 and we bring our requests to God with thanksgiving that His peace will guard our hearts Philippians 4:6-7.
We also want to lovingly speak truth into some of the language in your request. We do not speak things into existence or declare to the universe, for it is God alone who speaks and it is done, and it is God alone who answers prayer. We pray to the Father through Jesus Christ and we trust His perfect will, for This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us 1 John 5:14. The universe does not bless us, the Lord does. And His favor is not earned by us but is given freely by His grace, for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast Ephesians 2:8-9. We do not earn power or glory, we humbly receive what He gives and He gives grace to the humble James 4:6.
We also hear your heart for love and to be taken and to be married, and to see your Mom and your three children experience marriage as well. We share your joy for marriage and we affirm that marriage is a holy covenant before God between one man and one woman for life Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6. We pray that if God wills a husband for you and for your Mom, and godly spouses for your children in His timing, that each relationship would be a courtship that honors Him, entered into with another believer in Christ, with purity and with the goal of marriage. For Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14 and Whosoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh Proverbs 18:22. We encourage you not to seek a secret or hidden relationship to feel taken, but to pursue openly and with accountability a relationship that leads to a Christ centered marriage. If there is any sexual intimacy outside of that covenant of marriage, we gently rebuke it as the scripture calls it fornication and calls us to flee from it and to honor God with our bodies 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, Hebrews 13:4. True confidence and attractiveness do not come from lipstick, though it is fine to enjoy such things, but from knowing we are fearfully and wonderfully made Psalm 139:14 and that charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears Yahweh shall be praised Proverbs 31:30 and your beauty should be the hidden person of the heart with the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit 1 Peter 3:3-4.
We also hear your heart against those you feel have been jealous or hateful toward you. We pray you will be freed from bitterness and will love and forgive as Christ forgave us, for we are told to love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you Matthew 5:44. God will deal justly with those who have hurt you, and you can rest in His protection, for God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1 and Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind Romans 12:2.
We are so thankful you closed your request with the name and blood of Jesus, for it is only through Him we have access to the Father and it is only by His name we are saved. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 and There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. His blood covers and cleanses us and His victory is our hope.
We pray together now for you, your Mom, your three children, and even your pets whom God sees and cares for.
Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You with thanksgiving for this dear sister who longs for a fresh start. We thank You that if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17. Lord we ask You to heal her completely, spirit, soul and body, to open ears to hear and eyes to see, to heal every connection and communication that has felt dead or delayed or blocked. Restore joy and unity between her and her Mom and her three children. Let no rejection or setback have the final word, for You promise to work all things together for good for those who love You Romans 8:28.
Father we ask for Your will for marriage in this family. If it is Your will, bring a godly Christian husband for her and for her Mom, and in Your perfect timing bring godly spouses for her children, all believers who love You and will lead homes that honor You. Keep them pure and patient and guard them from fornication and from secret relationships that do not honor You. Let any courtship be open, accountable, and aimed at holy marriage. Provide for every need, including celebrations and daily bread, not because we demand it free or cheap, but according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. Teach her to find her confidence and worth in You above all else.
We ask You to pour out Your unmerited favor and grace upon her household, that they may live long, healthy, and fruitful lives walking in Your ways. Guard their hearts from striving or demanding and teach them to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well Matthew 6:33. Help her to forgive those who have been jealous or hurtful and to walk in love and peace. We thank You that Jesus has already won the victory and that His blood covers every sin and every wound. We trust this day and every day to Your blessed hand. In the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
