We come before the throne of grace with heavy hearts, lifting up these weighty matters before our Heavenly Father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. It is only through His name that we have access to the Father, and it is by His blood that we are made righteous to stand before Him. We declare that there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved—Jesus Christ alone is our mediator and advocate.
Father God, we stand in the gap for this family and ministry, believing for Your perfect justice and favor in their court hearing today. You are the ultimate Judge, and we ask that You would go before them, softening hearts, opening doors that no man can shut, and granting them favor in the eyes of those who will decide their case. Two years of waiting has surely tested their faith, but we declare that those who wait on You will renew their strength—they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus as they wait for Your perfect timing (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we pray for this ministry—that You would grant the leaders clear discernment to hear Your voice above all others. Let there be unity among them, as iron sharpens iron, so that they may walk in one accord, speaking the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15). Strengthen them with Your might, for the weapons of their warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4). May they lead with humility, wisdom, and a deep dependence on You, knowing that apart from You, they can do nothing (John 15:5).
We also lift up the one who has been hospitalized for five months. Father, we ask for complete healing and full recovery according to Your will. You are the Great Physician, and by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Touch every cell, every organ, every fiber of their being with Your healing power. Restore strength where there is weakness, hope where there is despair, and faith where there is doubt. We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Father, we bring their financial needs before You, knowing that You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. You own the cattle on a thousand hills, and the earth is Yours and all its fullness (Psalm 50:10). Open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing so great that there will not be room enough to receive it (Malachi 3:10). Provide for every need according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). Break every chain of lack and debt, and let Your abundance flow in their lives.
We pray for peace in their family, Lord. Where there has been strife, bring reconciliation. Where there has been division, bring unity. Where there has been hurt, bring healing. Let Your love bind them together in perfect harmony, that they may dwell together in unity, for there You command the blessing—life forevermore (Psalm 133:1, 3). Guard their hearts from bitterness, resentment, or unforgiveness, and fill them with Your peace that passes all understanding.
Finally, Father, we ask for clarity regarding Your future plan for them. Your Word says that Your plans for us are plans for welfare and not for evil, to give us a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Speak clearly, Lord, and let them hear Your voice above the noise of this world. Direct their steps, order their paths, and let them walk in the good works You have prepared for them in advance (Ephesians 2:10). Remove any fear or uncertainty, and fill them with boldness and confidence in Your promises.
We rebuke every spirit of delay, confusion, sickness, and lack in the name of Jesus. We declare that this is their season of breakthrough, and we stand on Your Word, which says that no good thing will You withhold from those who walk uprightly (Psalm 84:11). We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer, and we believe that You are already moving on their behalf. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and let them see Your hand at work in every area of their lives.
We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.
