Let us come together in the name of Jesus Christ, as we lift up this beloved family in prayer. We stand on the promise that "the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much" (James 5:16 WEB).
Firstly, we acknowledge that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB). It is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved, therefore, we pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, interceding on behalf of this family. Lord, You know their every need, every struggle, and every joy. We ask that You guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7 WEB).
We pray for reconciliation within this family, God. As it is written, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you" (Ephesians 4:32 WEB). We ask that You heal any broken relationships, soften hearts, and help them to forgive as You have forgiven them.
We also ask for a breakthrough, Lord. Whatever the need may be, we know that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us (Ephesians 3:20 WEB). We ask that You make a way where there seems to be no way, and that You give them the strength and faith to endure until they see Your breakthrough.
We also pray for the salvation of every member of this family. We ask that You draw them to Yourself, Lord, and grant them the gift of repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 2:25 WEB). We ask that You help them to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and be saved (Acts 16:31 WEB). We also pray that they will be baptized according to Acts 2:38 WEB.
We thank You, Lord, for Your unfailing love and faithfulness. We ask that You comfort them, guide them, and give them peace. We ask that You help them to trust in You with all their hearts, and not lean on their own understanding. We ask that You make their paths straight, Lord, and guide them in Your will (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage this family to stay strong in faith and in the Word of God. We remind them that "all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28 WEB). We encourage them to keep praying, keep believing, and keep trusting in the Lord.
