We hear your cry for mercy and we join with you in Jesus' name, believing that He alone is able to do what no one else can do. We thank you for calling upon the name of Jesus so clearly, for there is no other name by which we can be saved and no other name by which we have access to the Father, as it is written, There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:5, and In no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved, Acts 4:12.
We understand your desire to keep this request unspoken before men and we honor that, for our Father knows what we need before we ask Him, Matthew 6:8. Even when we do not have words, the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered, Romans 8:26, and He who searches the hearts knows what is on the mind of the Spirit, Romans 8:27. The Lord knows your situation completely, for You have searched me, Yahweh, and you know me, Psalm 139:1, and even before there is a word on our tongue, behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether, Psalm 139:4. We do not need to know the details to pray earnestly with you, because God does.
We also hear your pain regarding those who have mocked or belittled your prayer, even comparing your need to Moses opening the Red Sea in a scoffing way. We want to gently encourage you in this. It is true that God did part the Red Sea for Moses, and nothing is too hard for Him, for with God all things are possible, Matthew 19:26. At the same time, when others hurt us with words, we are called not to repay evil for evil or to assume the worst about their motives, but to leave judgment to the Lord who sees the heart, 1 Samuel 16:7. We are to do nothing from rivalry or from conceit, but in humility each counting others better than himself, Philippians 2:3, and this applies to us as well as to those who may have offended us. We encourage you to release any bitterness and to forgive, as Jesus taught us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us, Matthew 5:44, and to not avenge yourselves, but give place to God's wrath, for it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord, Romans 12:19. God will defend your prayer and your heart.
You expressed that you must believe your prayer has already been answered. We affirm the importance of faith, for without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, Hebrews 11:6, and Jesus said, Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them, Mark 11:24. We also remember that true faith trusts in God's will and timing, 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. So we pray with you not only for the answer, but for grace to trust that His answer, in His perfect way and time, is best, and to wait with patient endurance.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We lift up this dear one to You and this unspoken burden that You know fully. Lord, have mercy and let Your will be done in this situation. We ask that You would answer according to Your perfect love, wisdom and power, and that You would give this heart peace to believe and to rest in You, knowing that You hear and You care. Grant strong faith that does not waver, yet is fully surrendered to Your will, James 1:6. Heal any wound caused by mocking or harsh words, and help us to forgive as You have forgiven us, Ephesians 4:32. Keep this precious soul from discouragement, guard the heart and mind in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:7, and let no weapon formed against this prayer prosper. For those who may have spoken carelessly, we pray You would work in their hearts as well and draw all of us to humility and love. We trust You as the God who still makes a way where there seems to be no way, and we thank You that You are already at work. We ask all this in the name of Jesus, believing You have heard us, Amen.
