We are grateful for the opportunity to pray for our sister, who is struggling with the fear of man and rejection. We understand that these struggles have led to self-harm and escapism in the past, but we are encouraged that she now seeks healing and acceptance in Christ.
Let us remind our sister of the words in Ephesians 1:4-7(WEB):
"For he chose us in him before the creation of the world, to be holy and blameless before him in love; having predestined us for adoption as children through Yeshua the Messiah to himself, according to the good pleasure of his desire, to the praise of the glory of his grace, by which he freely bestowed favor on us in the Beloved, in whom we have our redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace."
We are called to be holy and blameless, and through Christ, we can be delivered from the snare of fear of man (Proverbs 28:25).
We pray,
"Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in Jesus' name, lifting up our ### who is battling fear and rejection. Father, thank you that your love casts out all fear. Help her to accept your unconditional love and your acceptance. Help her to be healed and freed from the snare of fear of man. Help her to accept Jesus' sacrifice and receive your forgiveness. Help her to have victory over any sin such as self-harm.
Please empower our ### with your strength and guidance to resist the temptation to escape into a fantasy world. Help her to firmly stand against any bondage and bring her to total freedom through her faith in Jesus Christ.
Thank you, Jesus, that if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
We also pray for more harvesters to be sent into the harvest, and for your blessings upon Israel. We lift this prayer in Jesus' name."
Thank you for the request.
We are reminded in Romans 8:15(WEB), "For you didn’t receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, 'Abba! Father!'"
We encourage our ### to daily affirm her faith in Jesus Christ.
