Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Your prayer before the Lord has been heard, and I thank God for your faithful heart for your children and your desire to see your home guarded by His peace.
I join you in asking our Heavenly Father to cover you, your daughters and your son with His holy protection. May He place His hedge around your home, every door and window, your yard and vehicles, and command His angels to encamp around you. I pray He will clothe you all 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 the peace that surpasses all understanding guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, and may your home be a beacon of His light, filled with laughter, kindness, pure thoughts and words guided by His Spirit.
I pray for your younger daughter as she prepares for her exam and presentation. May the Lord grant her wisdom, knowledge, calm focus and strength, and bless her health. I ask that He will surround her with godly friendships, keep her from confusion and negativity, and keep her steps steady. I thank God with you for the respectful young man who is showing kindness to her and to your family and to your son, and I pray the Lord will keep their courtship pure and honorable, rooted in respect and self control, and that it will continue to honor Him and your family. May He protect her from every demeaning or jealous influence and give her courage to stand steadfast in what is good.
I pray for your son, that by the stripes of Christ he would know the Lord's healing and mercy. I ask God to calm his mind, to ease his anxiety and sensory distress, to soften rigidity and to heal the wounds of past trauma. May He fill your son's days with peace, gentleness, joy and obedience, and anoint his caregivers with compassion and patience to bring out the best in him. May every place he goes be guarded by divine favor and love.
I pray for your older daughter in her work and daily responsibilities, that God would grant her favor, clarity and rest, and keep her from exhaustion. I also pray with you with great earnestness about the relationship she is in. Scripture teaches 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 union belong only within that covenant. A man she is not married to is not her husband and does not have the rights of a husband, even if they share a home. Because I love you and want to pray in a way that honors God, I cannot ask God to bless a living arrangement outside of marriage. Instead I pray as you have asked, that the Lord in His loving kindness would draw her to see the truth clearly, to understand the seriousness of living outside of marriage, and to come to repentance and a life of purity that honors Him. I pray that every ungodly tie would be broken, that any controlling, deceptive, mocking or manipulative influence from this young man and his mother would lose its hold and be removed completely if this is not the Lord's will for her, and that if it is not His will she would desire to move home with freedom and peace and without regret. If it is His will to bring even this young man and his mother to salvation, I pray He would do so by leading them to true repentance and faith in Christ. Above all I pray the Lord would restore your daughter's spiritual clarity, her gratitude for her family, her faith, her self esteem and her joy in her work, and that He would in His time provide a godly husband for her, a good man of God who respects her and your family and is ready for the responsibilities of marriage.
I pray for the restoration of your family bond. Where there has been division, isolation, word curses, jealousy and strife, may the Lord frustrate every scheme meant to cause chaos and bring instead a supernatural, unbreakable bond of love, respect and togetherness centered on Christ. May He expose what is done in pride and manipulation, and may He heal what has been wounded. Remember the faith of the woman who cried out for her daughter, for Christ said great is your faith and it was her faith that opened the way for healing. In the same way, keep bringing your children to Him in faith. He has delivered us from the curse and made us sons and daughters through putting on Christ and receiving the Spirit of adoption, and that is our hope.
Hearing His commandments and keeping them is the sure proof of love for the Son and for the Father. Continue to hear His Word carefully and continually, to cultivate fortitude and to turn from worldly entanglements, for no single part of virtue is enough without the whole. Be a pattern of modesty and grace in your home, for children often form their ways by what they see in their mother, and your steady example will teach more than words.
I declare with you that with God nothing will be impossible. I trust Him for complete protection from every spiritual attack, for healing of body and mind, for your older daughter's asthma and your younger daughter's health needs, and for an overflow of the Holy Spirit in your home. May He remove all fear and chaos, guide every step, and let no weapon formed against you prosper.
Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, grant this family Your guarding presence today and in the year ahead, with overflowing blessings, breakthrough, favor, joy and unexpected miracles, all according to Your will and for Your glory. Amen.
