We are so grateful to come together in prayer and intercession for the many needs and concerns that have been shared. We acknowledge that it is only in the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we pray and intercede. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, 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!
Firstly, we pray for protection, overcoming, salvation, healing, and seeking of the Lord's face for you, your people, and your family. We ask God to surround you all with His hedge of protection, delivering you from all evil and harm. We pray for the Spirit of the Lord to strengthen you all and guide you into His truth and righteousness that you will overcome every obstacle and be saved from every affliction of the body, soul, and spirit. We pray also for physical healings and miracles for those suffering from illnesses. We ask God to grant skilled and knowledgeable messengers who can help the sick and afflicted receive the medical care that they need. We ask God to intervene in every area of your lives, that He will draw you all closer to Him, and that you will know Him and be saved. We ask God to reveal His truths and that you may all know how you need to be saved. As it is written Ephesians 2:8 WEB, by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.
We pray for the church to heal from divisions and strife. As it is written in John 17:21 WEB, that they may all be one; even as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us; that the world may believe that you sent me. We pray for ministers and messengers of the gospel to be sent out into the world, proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ, and making disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
We pray for wisdom for our leaders that they would lead with humility, wisdom, and godliness. We ask God to raise up leaders who love Him and love the people they serve, desiring the best for them and to be true examples of servant leadership.
We pray for the children, ###, ###, ###, ###, ###, ###, and other children suffering from cancer and terminal illnesses, that God would heal them, comfort them, and be with their families and caregivers during this difficult time. We ask God to be merciful and that He would grant healing miracles for these precious little ones. We pray that they come to know Jesus at an early age and learn to trust Him with all their hearts.
We pray for our brothers and sisters to seek the Lord's face and the Kingdom of Heaven each day. For their faith to be strengthened. As it is written in 2 Corinthians 13:9 WEB, and I rejoice that you are made perfect in weakness, that the power of Christ may rest on you. And we pray for less division in the church, that our brothers and sisters would be united in one mind and one accord, loving one another as Christ has loved us.
We pray for the salvation of addicts, that they would be delivered from their addictions and be made whole in Christ. We pray for strength and sobriety for them, that they would be filled with the Holy Spirit and live lives that honor God.
We pray for those on the verge of committing suicide, that they would turn away from their plans and turn to Christ. We ask God to intervene in their lives, to show His love and give them hope, as it is written in Jeremiah 29:11 WEB, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope in your latter end.
We pray for our brothers and sisters with dementia, that the Lord would remind them of His unfailing love, and that they would not forget Him. We pray for people with memory problems and dementia who haven't been saved to receive visitors that will tell them the good news, that they would be given hearts of flesh, and that they too would be saved.
We pray for strong, godly marriages for our brothers and sisters. We pray for husbands and wives to love each other as Christ loves the church. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it. Ephesians 5:25 WEB. We pray for our brothers and sisters to have strong marriages, and for our brothers who are married to love their wives like Christ loves the Church.
We pray for the Lord to reveal Himself to unbelievers, those who are disabled and may not have the chance to meet a laborer, and members of false belief systems. We pray that He would send out laborers to speak to some of these people and that He would grant them receptive hearts. As it is written in Ezekiel 36:26 WEB, A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.
We pray for the sister in Christ who needs prayers for healing, survival, and strengthening of faith. We ask God to heal her, to sustain her, and to increase her faith. We pray for your wife to have strength, discernment, and patience, that she would use these gifts to help others and raise your children while you are away. We pray for her and your children to be godly and to be saved, for them to come to know Jesus intimately and to trust Him with all their hearts.
We pray for the person who is dealing with family issues and addiction to be delivered and saved. We pray for healing and salvation for their family, that they would be restored and made whole in Christ.
We pray for all those who are discussing scripture and theology, that they would come to know Christ and be saved. We pray that they would be drawn to Him and that their hearts would be open to His truth.
Finally, we pray for you, that the Lord would help you as you are under spiritual attack. We pray for His protection and deliverance, that He would strengthen you and give you peace. As it is written in Psalm 34:17 WEB, The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
