We stand with you in unwavering faith, lifting this sacred and deeply specific prayer before the Lord, just as it has been presented since May 27, 2024. You have invoked the name of Jesus, and it is in *His name alone* that we have confidence, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, nor any other through which we may boldly approach the throne of grace. *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’*” (John 14:6, WEB). We rejoice that you have placed your trust in Christ, for He is the author and perfecter of our faith, and it is by His stripes that we are healed, delivered, and made whole.
Your comparison to Moses parting the Red Sea is profound, for it reminds us that our God is a God of impossible miracles—One who divides seas, rolls away stones from tombs, and brings life where there was once only death. Just as the Israelites stood on the brink of the Red Sea with no human solution in sight, yet God made a way, we declare that He will do the same for you. *"Don’t you remember, brothers and sisters, that when we first came to you, we told you the Good News. Even though we suffered before and were outrageously treated in Philippi, as you know, we were bold in our God to tell you the Good News of God in much conflict. For our exhortation is not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deception. But even as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the Good News, so we speak—not as pleasing men, but God, who tests our hearts. For we never came with flattering words, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed. God is witness—nor seeking glory from men, neither from you nor from others, though we could claim authority as Christ’s apostles. But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother cherishes her own children. Even so, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased to impart to you, not the Good News of God only, but also our own souls, because you had become very dear to us"* (1 Thessalonians 2:2-8, WEB). Just as Paul and his companions endured hardship yet pressed forward in faith, we too press forward with you, knowing that God is faithful to complete the work He has begun.
We do not take lightly the weight of this unspoken request, nor do we seek to alter a single word of it, for we trust that the Holy Spirit intercedes with groans too deep for words (Romans 8:26). What you have lifted before the Lord is sacred, and we join you in asking that He would honor it, just as He honored the persistence of the Syrophoenician woman and the faith of the woman with the issue of blood. Both received their miracles not because of their own worthiness, but because of their *faith in the worthiness of Christ*. *"He said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace, and be cured from your disease’*” (Mark 5:34, WEB). Let this be your declaration today: *"Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief!"* (Mark 9:24, WEB).
Yet we must also gently remind you that while we wait for the miracle, our hearts must remain surrendered to God’s will above all else. Jesus, in His agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, prayed, *"Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done"* (Luke 22:42, WEB). Even in our most desperate petitions, we must trust that God’s ways are higher than ours, and His timing is perfect. If there is any area of your heart that has not fully surrendered to His will, we pray that the Holy Spirit would tenderly convict and align you with the Father’s perfect plan.
We also lift up ### before the Lord, thanking God for their stewardship in allowing this prayer to be continually lifted since May 27, 2024. May the Lord bless them abundantly for their obedience and sensitivity to the leading of the Holy Spirit. *"He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward"* (Matthew 10:41-42, WEB). May ### be strengthened, encouraged, and filled with the peace of God as they continue to serve in this capacity.
Now, let us pray together with boldness and specificity, just as you have requested:
*"Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. We come before You today in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, lifting this deeply cherished, unspoken prayer that has been presented before Your throne since May 27, 2024. Lord, You are the God who parts seas, who speaks to mountains and commands them to be cast into the depths, who raises the dead and calls into being things that do not exist. We ask that You would move in this situation with the same power that rolled away the stone from Jesus’ tomb. Let this miracle be a testament to Your glory, a sign that cannot be denied, a work so mighty that all who witness it will know that it is Your hand alone that has done this.
Father, we ask that You would soothe the heart of Your child in the waiting. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Let them rest in the assurance that You have heard, that You are working, and that You will bring this to pass in a way that honors Your name.
Lord, we ask that this prayer would remain unchanged forever, just as Your word stands firm in the heavens (Psalm 119:89). Let no hand of the enemy alter, distort, or delay what You have ordained. We bind every spirit of doubt, fear, or discouragement that would seek to steal the faith of Your child. We declare that this miracle *will* come to pass, not by might, nor by power, but by Your Spirit (Zechariah 4:6).
And Father, if there is any area in which this request does not align with Your perfect will, we ask that You would reveal it with gentleness and clarity. Shape the desires of this heart to match Yours, for Your will is good, pleasing, and perfect (Romans 12:2). Let this miracle be a beacon of Your glory, drawing many to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.
We thank You, Lord, for the victory that is already won. We thank You for the answer that is already on its way. We trust You, and we will not waver in our faith. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray—*the name above every name, the name at which every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father* (Philippians 2:10-11). Amen and amen."*
Beloved, hold fast to your confession of faith. *"Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, proof of things not seen"* (Hebrews 11:1, WEB). The God who answered Elijah’s prayer for rain after three and a half years of drought (1 Kings 18) is the same God who hears you today. The God who shut the mouths of lions for Daniel is the same God who will make a way for you. Stand firm, and do not let go of the promise until you see its fulfillment. We are standing with you, believing with you, and declaring that *"the Lord will perfect that which concerns you"* (Psalm 138:8, WEB).
If there is any area of your life where you have not fully surrendered to Christ—any sin, any doubt, any fear—we urge you to lay it at His feet today. Confess it, repent of it, and receive His forgiveness and cleansing. *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). The enemy seeks to exploit even the smallest foothold, but in Christ, you have the authority to shut every door that would hinder this miracle.
Finally, we leave you with this encouragement: *"Being therefore always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord; for we walk by faith, not by sight. We are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord. Therefore also we make it our aim, whether at home or absent, to be well pleasing to him"* (2 Corinthians 5:6-9, WEB). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith. The miracle you seek is already secured in the heavenly realms—now we wait with expectant hearts for its manifestation on earth.
Be blessed, and may the peace of Christ rule in your heart as you wait upon Him. We are with you in this, and we will continue to lift this prayer before the Lord until we see His hand move mightily. To God be the glory!
