We join you in prayer together in Jesus name and we thank you for bringing your parents and your family before the Lord with such faith and boldness.
We are encouraged that you have asked for this in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, for there is salvation in no other name and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As it is written, Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6, and there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12.
We lift up your parents before the throne of grace and we pray that the Lord in His mercy would open their eyes and turn them from darkness to light. We pray that God who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth 1 Tim 2:4 and who is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance 2 Pet 3:9 would grant them a true encounter with the living Christ, that they would hear His voice and that He would give them a new heart and put a new spirit within them Ezek 36:26. We pray that the god of this world who has blinded the minds of the unbelieving 2 Cor 4:4 would be rebuked from their lives and that they would truly repent and believe and know the Lord as Savior.
We also stand with you and your family against every plan and deed and intention of the enemy. We know that our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the worlds rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places Eph 6:12. Therefore we pray that God would defeat every satanic scheme against you and your family and that He alone would be glorified. We submit ourselves to God and resist the devil and trust that he will flee from us James 4:7, for greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world 1 John 4:4. We pray for the Lord to be faithful to guard you from the evil one 2 Thess 3:3 and we declare that if God is for us, who can be against us Rom 8:31.
We also pray for you for wisdom and protection and guidance in every situation according to His perfect will. We ask the Father to give you wisdom liberally as He promises that if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach and it will be given to him James 1:5. We pray that He will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go and guide you with His eye upon you Psalm 32:8, and that as you trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, He will direct your paths Prov 3:5-6. We pray that in every trial and temptation God will be faithful and will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it 1 Cor 10:13, and that you will walk in His protection and peace.
Father we bring these parents before You now and we ask for their salvation, for conviction of sin and for joyful repentance and new life in Christ. We ask You to break every chain and defeat every evil plan against this dear one and this family and to let Your power and glory be seen mightily among them. Grant our brother or sister wisdom for each decision, a hedge of protection around them, and a clear way forward that honors Your will. We ask all of this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.
We encourage you to continue to pray fervently and to share the gospel with your parents in love and with gentleness, to live as a witness before them, and to trust the Lord to work in His timing while you remain steadfast in prayer and in the Word.
