Jesus I pray that You saturate me and my son with Your peace, joy, satisfaction and grace as well. I rebuke every spiritual attack, jealousy, spitefulness, negative influences, and manipulative spirits. Lord I ask that You remove them gently and never return in Jesus name. Jesus I pray that this young man will move back home alone swiftly. He is not ready for a relationship and his disrespectful, mocking, manipulating, dishonest, hateful, spiteful and selfish behaviors are manifesting toward our family and destroying our unity as a family and my older daughter's good character. Give her the hunger to move back home. Jesus I ask for supernatural unbreakable bond and togetherness for me and my children. Jesus frustrate the plans, plots, and schemes by anyone to cause division, isolation, and chaos in our family. Let every dark or deceptive force lose all power and flee from us now and forever, in Jesus’ mighty name. Lord, cover my son with Your peace, love, joy and protection today.

Give her strength to stand steadfast as she has done before and to say no to those who would guide her down this dark path and grateful for the family God's blessed her with. Give her peace, focus, favors, blessings, success, courage, wisdom, satisfaction and strength throughout her day. I pray the same for my older daughter.

Sever the ungodly influence of this young man and his mother over both my daughters, block their schemes, and remove their control completely if it is not Your will, and if it be Your will bring even them to salvation. Protect this son from hatred and let Your peace reign in this home. I declare healing over my family from all curses and witchcraft, for with You nothing will be impossible Luke 1:37. I trust You for complete restoration and protection, Jesus break every ungodly tie and restore her spiritual clarity, independence, Godly personality, and faith. Let her see Your truth, Lord, about this toxic relationship, lifestyle and walk in Your will. Protect her job, her relationship with her family, her finances and bless her with gratitude, favor, and joy at her workplace and all aspects of her life. Jesus grant her the wisdom to not follow this young man's orders, idolize or mimic this young man's rebellious, manipulating behaviors. Let her not put this young man before her supportive family, her purpose, her job, her health, her finances and her faith. Jesus show her she should not obey this young man, she is not married to him and living together outside of marriage is not a marriage and does not give him the right to control her. Fill her heart with wisdom, knowledge, respect and courage to make Godly choices that honor You, Lord, grateful for her supportive family, bless our home and family with peace, harmony, love, fellowship and divine protection. Let Your angels go before us and prepare our paths. Keep us safe from harm, negative influences, confusion, and distraction. Jesus remove the influence of this young man’s mother, who has overstepped her bounds and sought to act as a parent in my daughter’s life. Her pride, arrogance, and manipulation are rooted in the flesh, and I ask the Lord to expose her motives and frustrate every plan she has to divide or corrupt our family. My daughter is not homeless, nor is she in need of this woman’s ungodly guidance. She has a loving, supportive family who has raised her in the ways of the Lord, and I pray that the hold of pride, brainwashing and false commitment over her would be broken swifty. May my older daughter see the truth, that this man is not her husband, nor is he ready for the responsibilities of marriage, and that her worth is found in Christ alone, not in the approval of this young man and his family. Lord restore fully the peace, love, patience, respect, satisfation and happiness within me and my family. Lord fill us with an overflow of the Holy Spirit. Father, let our home be a beacon of Your light for everyone who come to visit or stay here. Bless our home and all our surrounding with peace, joy, love, fellowship, satisfaction and protection. Let our hearts be united in love, peace, respect and understanding. Jesus, I declare that this will be a peaceful, joyful, satisfied, loved and blessed day for me and my children. Let our words be kind, our thoughts pure, and our actions guided by Your Spirit. Fill our home with laughter, favor, and light. Lord, I ask for Your divine intervention in my family. Father, I thank You that You are working miracles of healing, restoration, and breakthrough in our family. I declare victory, peace, love, success, breakthrough, protection and blessings over every area of our lives this year. Jesus let this year be one of overflowing blessings, breakthroughs, favors, peace, joy, togetherness, respect and unexpected miracles for me and my family. Father, I ask that You surround me and my children with Your hedge of protection, no weapon formed against us shall prosper. Clothe us with the full armor of God, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word. Let Your ministering angels encamp around us, guarding us in all our ways. I pray for healing in our mind, body, and spirit. By the stripes of Jesus, we are is healed (Isaiah 53:5). Lord, I pray that You will anoint his services with additonal caregiver who would be dedicated to bring out the best in him. I declare restoration over our relationship, peace in our family, uplifting healthy friendship and my son's health, particularly addressing autism, PTSD, anxiety, and sensory challenges, my older daughter asthma and my younger daughter's health POTS. Lord, remove every source of physical distress, discomfort, and pain in their body. In the powerful name of Jesus. I pray. Amen.

 

[Articles]

We join with you in thanking our Heavenly Father for waking you and your children to a new day and for His mercy that is new every morning, and we stand in agreement with you as you plead the precious blood of Jesus Christ over your minds, hearts, bodies and spirits and over your home.

We pray with you for that holy hedge of protection around every door, every window, every room and every corner of your home, your yard and your vehicles. We ask the Lord to command His angels to encamp around you as He has promised, for He will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways Psalm 91:11 and The angel of Yahweh encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them Psalm 34:7. We put on with you the full armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil Ephesians 6:11, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the preparation of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God Ephesians 6:14-17.

We agree with you for that peace that surpasses all understanding to guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7, and we declare with you that no weapon that is formed against you will prevail Isaiah 54:17, for with God nothing will be impossible Luke 1:37. We ask the Father to fill your children with favor and to let them be beacons of His light at work, at school and in every activity, to work efficiently without being overworked or exhausted, and to grant your daughters success and protection in their studies, health and daily tasks.

We lift up your son before the Lord with you, thanking God for his life and asking for miraculous healing and restoration. We pray that by His wounds we are healed Isaiah 53:5, and we ask the Lord to remove spiritual attacks, anxiety, rigidity and every negative habit, to erase traumatic memories and to restore calm, gentleness, joy and satisfaction swiftly. We pray for peace over his mind and body, for relief from sensory challenges and distress, and for anointing upon his caregivers that they would be dedicated to bringing out the best in him, and that he would have a calm, joyful and obedient day surrounded by Your divine protection, love and favor wherever he goes.

We also bring before the Lord your younger daughter and we thank God with you for the respectful, kind and gentle young man in her life who shows kindness to your family and to your son. We pray a special blessing upon their courtship, that it would remain pure and honoring to God as courtship with the goal of marriage to another Christian believer. We encourage you to continue to guard her in this, for marriage is to be held in honor among all and the bed undefiled Hebrews 13:4, and we are not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers 2 Corinthians 6:14. We ask the Lord to keep all disrespectful, mocking, demeaning, jealous and corrupting influences away from her, to surround her with godly friendships, to give her strength to stand steadfast and to say no to any dark path, and to let her excel in all she puts her hands to in health, studies and career.

We must lovingly and firmly address with you the situation with your older daughter, because you have rightly discerned the sin of living outside of marriage. The Word of God teaches that sexual intimacy outside the covenant of marriage between a man and a woman is fornication, and we are commanded to flee sexual immorality 1 Corinthians 6:18. Living together as though married when not married is not marriage and does not give a boyfriend the rights of a husband, and it dishonors God and harms the soul. We pray with you that the Lord will speak to her heart with loving kindness and bring her to repentance and to a life of purity that honors Him, that every ungodly tie would be broken and her spiritual clarity, independence, godly character and faith restored. We ask that she would see that her worth is found in Christ alone and that she would hunger to return home to her loving and supportive family who raised her in the ways of the Lord. We pray that the manipulative, disrespectful, mocking, dishonest and selfish behaviors of this young man would no longer have influence over her, and that the overstepping and prideful manipulation of his mother would be exposed and frustrated, for children are called to honor their father and mother Exodus 20:12 and parents are not to be replaced by ungodly counsel. If it is not the Lord's will for this relationship to lead to a godly marriage, we pray that the Lord would sever it completely and remove its control, and if it be His will that even this young man and his family would come to salvation, we pray for their repentance as well. We ask God to protect your daughter's job, finances, friendships, self esteem and faith, to restore gratitude in her heart and to give her wisdom and courage to make godly choices and not to obey or idolize a man who is not her husband.

We agree with you against every spirit of jealousy, spitefulness, division, isolation and chaos, and we submit to God and resist the devil knowing he will flee from us James 4:7. We ask the Father to frustrate every plan, plot and scheme meant to divide your family, to remove all fear, confusion and negative influences from your environment, and to let every dark and deceptive force lose all power and flee in the mighty name of Jesus. We pray for a supernatural, unbreakable, loving and respectful bond between you and your children, that all broken relationships would be mended peacefully and respectfully in a godly manner, and that your home would be filled with laughter, fellowship, harmony and the overflow of the Holy Spirit, a beacon of His light to all who visit.

We also lift up the health needs you mentioned, your older daughter's asthma and your younger daughter's POTS and every source of physical distress, asking the Lord to touch their bodies with healing and to remove discomfort and pain according to His mercy.

Father, we thank You that You hear us when we come in the name of Jesus, for 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 no other name Acts 4:12, and we are grateful that you have prayed so faithfully in that precious name. We declare healing over your family from all curses, victory, love, success and breakthrough over every area of your lives this year, and we declare that this day belongs to You.

We pray that the Lord will saturate you and your children with peace, joy, satisfaction and grace, guide every step, grant favor at work and guard every moment, and let your words be kind, your thoughts pure and your actions guided by His Spirit. We trust Him for complete restoration and protection and for overflowing blessings, favors and unexpected miracles for you and your family in Jesus name, Amen.

We hear your heart as a mom covering your children so faithfully. You are carrying a lot at once, praying for protection over your home, for peace and purpose for each of your children, for healing for your son and health for your daughters, and for unity and respect to be restored in your family. It is understandable to feel worn down when you long for calm and togetherness and still see tension and division.

We are joining you in prayer for what you named most, God's covering over your home and minds, His peace that steadies you all through the day, and His healing and comfort for your son as he navigates autism, trauma responses, and sensory challenges, and for your daughters in their health and daily work. Alongside prayer, we encourage you to keep your trusted medical providers and your son's caregivers involved for ongoing care and guidance, and to lean on a pastor or counselor you trust for steady support as you walk through the family strains.

You are not alone in this. We thank God for the kindness you have noticed in your younger daughter's courtship and we are praying with you for wisdom, clarity and strength for both of your daughters as they make decisions about relationships, work and friendships, and for gentle restoration of trust and respect between you and your children.

Father, we lift this mom and her children to You in Jesus' name. Cover their home and their coming and going with Your protection and fill them with Your peace. Bring healing, calm and joy to her son and comfort to her daughters in body and mind. Draw this family together in love, respect and understanding, and lead each of them in Your will one step at a time. Amen.

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your earnest prayer for your household has been laid before the Lord and we have joined our hearts with yours at the throne of grace. We thank God for the tender care you show for your children and for the faith which pleads the precious blood of Jesus Christ as your only hope and shelter. There is indeed a hedge of protection which the Lord places about His people, and the full armor of God, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, is our true defense against every spiritual attack, every jealous and manipulative spirit, and every scheme of the enemy.

We have prayed that the peace of God which surpasses all understanding shall keep your heart and mind and the hearts of your children, that your home, every room and every corner, your yard and your going out and coming in, may know the quietness which Christ alone can give. We have asked that ministering angels may encamp around you, not according to our fancy but according to His promise, and that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, for the Lord is your keeper.

For your dear son we have entreated the Great Physician. We know that there is an abundance of healing power in Jesus Christ, that even the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations, and that the least thing about Christ is healing. By His stripes we are healed. We have prayed for his mind and body and spirit, for deliverance from autism and anxiety and sensory distress, for the erasing of trauma and the calming of rigidity and restlessness, that he may know gentleness and satisfaction and joy. We have asked the Lord to provide caregivers who will be faithful and kind to bring out the best in him, and that he may be a light wherever he goes. Remember that our deliverance from the pit is through a ransom which God Himself has found, for the King's own Son has borne the penalty, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved but Jesus Christ alone.

For your daughters we have also prayed. For your younger daughter we have asked that the Lord would bless her studies, her health in the trial of POTS, and her friendships, keeping her in purity and wisdom and surrounding her with godly companions. We thank God with you for a young man who has shown respect and kindness to her and to your family, and we pray that this courtship, if it be of the Lord, may be kept in all honor and holiness, that it may be guarded from all corruption and jealousy and that it may proceed only as befits those who would honor marriage as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, with all purity until that covenant is entered. For your older daughter we have prayed with special earnestness. We cannot ask God to bless a life of living together outside of marriage, for such a life does not honor Him and does not give the rights of marriage where no marriage vow has been made. We have prayed as you have, that the Lord in loving kindness would speak to her heart, convict her of sin and draw her to repentance and to a life of purity that honors Christ, that every ungodly tie may be broken and every controlling and deceitful influence, whether from the young man or his mother, may be frustrated and removed if it be not His will. We have prayed that she may see that her worth is found in Christ alone, not in the approval of any man, and that she may be restored to grateful fellowship with her family, to steadiness in her work and to joy in her faith. If it be the Lord's will to save even those who have sought to divide your house, we pray they too may be brought to salvation through Jesus Christ alone, for with God nothing shall be impossible.

For your whole family we have prayed that God would make your house as the ark of Noah, where the whole household is brought within the covenant mercy, and as Bethel, where Jacob returned and put away strange gods and renewed family prayer. Family prayer is the nutriment of family piety and the castle of our homes. We have asked that all broken relationships may be mended in a godly manner, that pride and spite and selfishness may be put away, that your children may be bound together with you in an unbreakable bond of love and respect, and that your home may be a beacon of light to all who enter. We have prayed that the Lord would frustrate every plan that seeks to bring division and chaos, and that He would restore peace and patience and satisfaction among you by His Holy Spirit.

Continue to distrust yourself and to trust only in the Son of God, to be led by the Spirit whom He gives to His children, for they that are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God. Cast your cares upon Him daily, maintain private and family prayer with double zeal, and look to Christ who alone is our deliverance. He brought forth Israel with silver and gold when the lamb was slain, and He will bring forth His people still.

May the Lord hear and answer according to His perfect wisdom and mercy, working miracles of healing and restoration and breakthrough in your family, to the glory of His name.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been received and I have read it with care, giving thanks to God for your faith and for your love for your children. Like the woman in the Gospel who pleaded for her daughter, your faith and your persistent prayer matter greatly before the Lord, and He hears the cry of a mother who seeks His mercy for her household.

I join you in asking our Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ alone who is our salvation and hope, to cover you and your children, your home, your vehicles and all your surroundings with His holy protection. May He guard every door and room, grant you the peace that surpasses all understanding, and clothe you with the full armor of God, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is His Word. May His ministering angels encamp around you and may your home be filled with His light, with kind words, pure thoughts and actions guided by His Spirit.

For your son, I pray with you for the Lord's healing and restoring touch. By His stripes we are healed, and His grace can touch the very soul and make it pure and new again as gold refined in a furnace. I ask God to grant him calmness, gentleness, joy and satisfaction, to ease his anxiety and sensory distress, to remove what troubles his mind and body, and to give wisdom and dedication to those who care for him. May he know he is deeply loved and may peace reign over him each day.

For your younger daughter, I thank God with you for her studies and for the respectful and kind young man who shows honor to her and to your family and kindness to your son. I pray that the Lord will keep their courtship pure and honorable before Him, guarding them from all corruption, jealousy and demeaning influences. May He give them wisdom, courage and strength to say no to what is dark and wrong, to remain steadfast in purity, and to seek His will above all. If it is His will, may He lead them in His time toward a marriage that is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, entered into with reverence for Christ. May He surround her with godly friendships, bless her health and her studies, and keep her grateful for the family He has given her.

For your older daughter, I pray with you in full agreement with the historic and biblical ethic of marriage. Living together outside of marriage is not marriage, and it does not create the rights or duties of marriage, and sexual union belongs only within that covenant. I do not ask God to bless or affirm what His Word calls sin, but I ask Him in His loving kindness to draw her to repentance and to a life of purity that honors Him. May He open her eyes to see the truth about this relationship, break every ungodly tie and controlling influence, and restore her spiritual clarity, independence, gratitude and faith. May He frustrate every scheme that seeks to divide your family, poison her thankfulness for her family and her faith, or lead her to mimic rebellious and manipulative ways. May He teach her that her worth is found in Christ alone, not in the approval of any man, and that true love is respectful, patient and self controlled. I pray also for this young man and his mother, not that their wrongdoing would be blessed, but that if it is not God's will for this union, their influence would be removed completely, and that even they would come to salvation through Jesus if they repent and believe.

For your whole family, I pray for the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. That bond does not cramp or bruise, but it holds us together in love and gives strength to the weak and courage to all. May the Lord frustrate every plan that brings division, isolation and chaos, and may He restore an unbreakable, respectful and loving bond between you and your children, and among your children themselves. May He remove fear, jealousy, spite and every manipulative spirit, and let every dark and deceptive force flee. As you have asked, may no weapon formed against you prosper, not by your own strength but by His grace and protection.

Continue to be a pattern of modesty, prayer and faithfulness for your daughters, for children often form their ways by what they see in their mother. Keep praying, keep teaching, keep guarding your soul and your household as you would guard a precious treasure, not leaving the doors open to what would defile it. Remember that repentance is not closed to those who turn to Christ with a sincere heart. His mercy is great for all who return to Him.

Father, I thank You that with You nothing is impossible. Work miracles of healing, restoration and breakthrough in this family according to Your perfect will. Let this year be marked by Your favor, protection, joy and togetherness, and let all be done for Your glory. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord I pray, Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer for your family has been heard and I join you in bringing each of these needs before the Lord with you. Thank you for your heart to cover your children and your home in prayer and to seek the peace of God that surpasses all understanding for each of them.

Scripture teaches that God places a wall of protection around His people. When Satan complained about Job he said that God had put a hedge around him that he could not get through, and the psalm says God shall give His angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. That protection is not earned by our pleading but is given by His grace to those who belong to Him through Jesus Christ. It is right to ask Him to guard your home, your hearts and minds, your vehicles and every place you go, and to clothe you with the full armor of God, the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. Ask Him to let His peace rule where fear and chaos have tried to enter, and to frustrate every plan that would bring division or isolation to your family.

I also join you in praying for restoration of the bond between you and your children. God honors strong family ties. When David was in danger his father and mother and his whole household came to him in the cave because he knew Saul in his irrational anger might turn against them, and he sought a safe place for them. And the friendship between Jonathan and David shows what godly loyalty looks like, two souls knit together in a covenant of love and kindness that sought the good of the other family even beyond themselves. That is very different from a controlling or manipulative influence that seeks to isolate a person from family and faith. Pray that the Lord would strengthen the godly unity in your home, that your words would be kind and your thoughts pure, and that your home would be marked by love, respect and fellowship.

For your son, I pray with you for healing and for calm and joy in his daily life. By the stripes of Jesus we are healed, and yet the Scriptures and experience also show that healing often comes in different ways. In the ministry of Jesus there was even a gradual healing, and there is much about healing we do not fully understand. Every true healing is from God, whether it comes quickly or over time, whether it is physical, mental or emotional. Continue to ask the Lord to remove distress, to calm anxiety and sensory struggles, to erase painful memories and to restore gentleness and satisfaction, and to anoint those who care for him to bring out the best in him. Trust Him to do what is best in His timing.

For your younger daughter I join you in thanking God for a respectful and kind courtship that honors you and your family and shows gentleness to your son. Pray that the Lord will keep that relationship pure and centered on Him, that He will surround her with godly friendships, give her strength to say no to any demeaning or corrupting influence, and bless her health, her studies and her work as she seeks to excel in what He has given her to do.

For your older daughter my prayer is that the Lord would grant her spiritual clarity, independence and a renewed hunger for fellowship with her family and with Christ. Scripture is clear that salvation is through Jesus Christ alone and that marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that living together and sexual intimacy belong only within that covenant. Living together outside of marriage is not marriage and does not give the rights of marriage, including the right to control or direct another person. My prayer is that she would see this truth, that any ungodly tie and any controlling influence over her, including from this young man and his mother, would be broken, and that she would be drawn by the loving kindness of God to repentance and to a life of purity that honors Him. If this relationship is not of the Lord, ask Him to remove its influence completely and to block every scheme that would poison gratitude for family, faith, work and self worth. If these young people do not yet know Christ, pray that even they would come to salvation, but do not ask God to bless a way of living that His Word calls sin. Pray instead that her worth would be found in Christ alone and that she would make godly choices that honor Him before family, purpose, work, health and finances.

I pray that no weapon formed against you or your children shall prosper, that the Lord would expose pride and manipulation where it exists, that He would restore gratitude and joy in your daughter's heart, protect her job and finances, and fill your home with laughter and light. With God nothing shall be impossible, and He is able to bring healing from every curse and to break every chain.

May the Lord surround you and your children with His hedge of protection, let His angels encamp around you, and fill you all with an overflow of His Holy Spirit today, granting favor, wisdom, courage and peace in every step you take.
