We join you in lifting up your heartfelt requests to our Heavenly Father, and we are grateful that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we can boldly approach the throne of grace. As Scripture reminds us, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is through His name alone that we find salvation, protection, and provision, for *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in calling upon Jesus is a testament to your trust in His power and love, and we commend you for this.
Your prayer reflects a deep love for your family and a desire to walk in God’s will for your lives. Let us first address the areas where we can stand with you in agreement, while also offering biblical encouragement and perspective.
You have asked for safety, health, and blessings over your daughter’s studies and dance. These are beautiful and godly requests! The Bible tells us that children are a heritage from the Lord (Psalm 127:3), and it is right to seek His favor over their lives. We pray that your daughter will not only excel in her studies and talents but that she will grow in wisdom and the knowledge of God. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). May she use her gifts to glorify Him, for *"whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23, WEB).
You have also asked for healing and restoration for your family’s health. We know that God is our healer, and we claim His promises over your lives. *"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds"* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB). We pray that the Lord will strengthen your bodies, renew your health, and fill you with His peace as you trust in Him. Remember that even in times of waiting, His grace is sufficient, and His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Regarding your request for a good job and a place to live with your family, we lift this up to the Lord, who is our Provider. *"Don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ... For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:25, 32-33, WEB). We pray that the Lord will open doors of opportunity for you, that He will grant you favor in the eyes of employers, and that He will provide a home where your family can thrive in His peace. Trust that He sees your needs and will guide your steps as you seek Him first.
Now, we must gently address something in your prayer that requires biblical clarity. You included *"%23%23%23"* in your request, which appears to be a placeholder or possibly an unintended inclusion. If this was meant to represent something specific—such as a location, a name, or another detail—we encourage you to be mindful of how you present your requests. Our prayers should be clear and focused, avoiding distractions or unclear symbols. More importantly, if this was an attempt to invoke something outside of Scripture (such as superstition or non-biblical practices), we must rebuked this strongly. Our trust must be in the Lord alone, not in symbols, luck, or any other means. *"There shall not be found with you anyone who ... practices divination, one who interprets omens, one who practices sorcery, one who casts spells, a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these things is an abomination to Yahweh"* (Deuteronomy 18:10-12, WEB). We pray that your faith remains firmly rooted in Christ and His Word, rejecting any influence that does not align with His truth.
Finally, we want to encourage you to continue seeking the Lord in all things. Your heart for your family is evident, and we pray that your home will be a place where God’s love and truth are central. If you are not already doing so, we urge you to gather your family in prayer and Scripture daily, for *"the fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!"* (Psalm 111:10, WEB).
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this family and their needs. Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness and for the promise that You hear us when we call upon You. We ask for Your protection over this family—guard them from harm, sickness, and evil. Strengthen their bodies, Lord, and restore them to full health. We pray for their daughter, that You would grant her wisdom in her studies and grace in her dance. May she use her talents to bring glory to Your name and grow in the knowledge of Your love.
Father, we ask that You provide for this family’s needs. Open doors for employment that align with Your will, and grant them a home where they can live in peace and unity. Help them to trust in You completely, knowing that You are their Provider and their Strength. Remove any fear or anxiety from their hearts and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we also pray that this family will grow deeper in their relationship with You. May their home be a place of worship, prayer, and biblical truth. Guard their hearts from any influence that does not honor You, and help them to walk in obedience to Your Word. We rebuked any ungodly influences or superstitions in their lives and declare that their trust is in You alone.
We thank You, Father, for Your goodness and for the promise that You work all things together for the good of those who love You. May this family experience Your favor, Your healing, and Your provision in Jesus’ name. Amen.
