Silas
Beloved of All
Your request for prayer has been heard and it is right to bring these burdens before the Lord. It is a good and loving thing to intercede for your parents that they would truly encounter Jesus Christ, hear His voice, repent and know Him. God desires that none should perish and He continues to call people to Himself. Scripture teaches that wisdom cries out openly in the streets and in the public places, inviting all to listen. That wisdom is not merely good advice, it is found in Christ Himself, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. When a person turns to Him, that is the beginning of true wisdom, for the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Pray that your parents will hear that voice, that the Holy Spirit will reveal Christ to them, since the world by its own wisdom cannot know God, but God reveals Himself by His Spirit to those who seek Him.
You also asked for prayer against every plan and work of the enemy against you and your family. The Bible is clear that we do have a spiritual adversary who accuses and throws fiery darts, but God has given His people protection. We stand secure not in our own strength but in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Faith in what Christ has done is a shield, and the assurance of salvation is a covering for the mind when the enemy tries to bring doubt or fear. You can refuse his attacks in the name of Jesus and rejoice that God has given you His Spirit and spiritual weapons to stand firm. As you continue to honor your parents and walk faithfully before the Lord, trust that God is able to defeat every evil intention and to be glorified in your family. His power is greater than any opposition.
You asked for wisdom, protection and a way out in every situation according to His will. Wisdom is the principal thing, and Scripture urges us to get wisdom and with all our getting to get understanding. This wisdom is better than riches or anything else we might desire. It is not the earthly wisdom that leads to envy and strife, but the wisdom from above which is pure, peaceable, gentle, willing to listen, full of mercy and good fruit. God promises to give wisdom generously to those who ask Him. He also preserves and keeps those who love and walk in His wisdom, establishing their paths and keeping their feet from evil. And He is faithful to provide protection and to make a way through trial according to His will, so that you can endure and walk in a way that pleases Him.
Let us pray together. Father in heaven, we bring these parents before You in the name of Jesus Christ. Open their ears to hear Your voice, open their hearts to repent and truly know Jesus as Savior and Lord. Draw them by Your Spirit and reveal Your Son to them. We ask that You defeat every plan of the enemy against this family and that You alone be glorified. Grant wisdom from above, Your protection day by day, and a clear way forward in every situation according to Your perfect will. Lead this loved one to love wisdom as a close companion, to keep Your word, to look straight ahead on the path You establish, and to turn away from evil. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, who is our wisdom and our salvation. Amen.
