We join you in thanking God for this day and for the gift of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in your life and in the lives of your sons and daughters and your family. We rejoice with you that you have been baptized and that you feel the goodness of God after that step of obedience. The Word says Repent, and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit Acts 2:38. We pray you will continue to walk in that newness of life, not by feeling alone but by faith in Christ.
We also join you in praying for the peace of Jerusalem as you asked, for we are told to Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper Psalm 122:6, and we ask God to bring His peace there according to His will.
We hear your heart crying out for your mind to be cleansed and restored. You have asked God to remove from your mind all things that are not of the Lord Jesus and to take away the images of the games you play on your phone that linger when you close your eyes. We pray with you for this renewal, for God calls us to be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God Romans 12:2. We ask God to help you bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ 2 Corinthians 10:5 and to fix your thoughts on whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report Philippians 4:8. If these games are filling your mind and distracting you from the Lord and from what is pure, we encourage you to set boundaries on that time and to replace it with prayer, Scripture, and fellowship, so your mind may be restored.
You have asked God to restore you together again with the one you love, saying you do not desire anyone else sexually and have not let anyone get as close to you as him, and that you miss him and long for him to call you. We pray with you for God’s will to be done in this relationship. We want to gently and lovingly speak truth here, because God’s design for sexual intimacy and deep closeness is within the lifelong covenant of marriage between one man and one woman. The Scripture says Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers Hebrews 13:4 and Flee sexual immorality 1 Corinthians 6:18. If there has been sexual intimacy outside of marriage, we urge you to repent and to seek purity before the Lord. If you desire to be together, we pray that your courtship would be with the goal of a godly marriage to a fellow believer in Christ, if it is God’s will, and that you would pursue holiness together. We pray not simply for a phone call, but for God’s perfect will, whether that be restoration to a marriage that honors Him or grace to move forward in peace if that is not His plan. We trust the Lord to guide you and to guard your heart as you trust in Him with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding Proverbs 3:5.
You also asked God to break a curse and spell and hex that you feel was put on you to break you apart. We want to encourage you that for those who are in Christ, no curse can ultimately stand against God’s purpose. The Scripture says Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel Numbers 23:23 and If God is for us, who can be against us Romans 8:31 and No weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17. We rebuke fear of curses and hexes, and we encourage you not to give power to such things, but to rest in the authority of Jesus Christ and to walk in His protection through prayer, the Word, and obedience. We pray that any fear or spiritual oppression would be broken in Jesus’ name and that you would know the peace and freedom Christ gives.
We also lift up your workplace concern where you feel you are being paid less than others despite years of faithful work and you desire equal pay. We pray God will provide for you and act justly on your behalf, for our God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. We encourage you to make your request to your employer respectfully and honestly, trusting God to be your advocate, and to continue to work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men Colossians 3:23, while also seeking wisdom about whether this job is where God wants you to remain.
You shared a dream where you saw Jesus arguing over you and showing you to another. We do not lean on dreams for direction, but we test all things by the Word of God, knowing that God has shown His love for you most clearly at the cross, and that He contends for His children.
We thank you for praying in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, 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. Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6.
We pray together now, Father, we thank You for this dear one, for their family, for their baptism and their hunger for You. We ask You to renew their mind and wash away every image and thought that is not of You, and to fill them with Your peace and pure thoughts. We ask You to guard their heart in this relationship, to forgive any sexual sin and to lead them into purity, and if it is Your will, to restore this relationship into a holy marriage that honors You, or to give grace and closure if not. We break all fear of curses and spells in the name of Jesus and declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and we ask for Your protection and wisdom over all who make up their household, that they would be safe and hidden in You. Provide for their financial needs, move on the heart of their employer toward fairness, and let Your justice and provision be seen. Draw them ever closer to Jesus, keep them hidden in Your wisdom, and let their life be a testimony of Your grace. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.
