We join with you in lifting up this heartfelt cry for revival, restoration, and renewal for your life, your family, and even our nation. It is beautiful to see you turning to Jesus in the midst of these struggles, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that our God is a God of redemption, healing, and new beginnings. You have poured out your heart before Him, and we know He hears you, for His Word assures us in 1 John 5:14-15, *"This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."*
First, we want to affirm your focus on Jesus Christ in this prayer. You have invoked His name, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*—and again in Acts 4:12, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* You have rightly come before the throne of grace in the name of Jesus, and we rejoice in that.
Your prayer covers many deep and painful struggles—sickness, loneliness, despair, broken relationships, memory loss, child abuse, and even the corruption we see in our nation. These are not small things, but they are not beyond the power of our God. He is the God who turns ashes into beauty, who brings life from death, and who restores what has been broken. Isaiah 61:1-3 speaks directly to this:
*"The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is on me; because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to proclaim the year of Yahweh’s favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Yahweh, that he may be glorified."*
Yet, as we pray for revival, we must also examine our own hearts. Revival begins with the people of God humbling themselves, repenting, and turning fully to Him. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, the Lord says, *"if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."* This is not just a prayer for others—it is a call for each of us to surrender fully to Him, to allow Him to search our hearts and remove anything that does not honor Him. Have we allowed bitterness, unforgiveness, or sin to take root? Have we sought His face above all else? Let us each ask the Lord to cleanse us and make us vessels ready for His use.
We also notice your plea for relationships to be restored, for family members to love one another, and for defiance to cease. This is a godly desire, for God calls us to live in unity and love. However, we must remember that true love is not just an emotion—it is a choice to honor God in how we treat one another. Ephesians 4:2-3 tells us, *"with all lowliness and humility, with patience, bearing with one another in love; being eager to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace."* And in Colossians 3:12-14, we are instructed, *"Put on therefore, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do. Above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfectness."* If there are relationships in your family that are broken, we encourage you to seek the Lord on how you can be an instrument of His peace—whether through forgiveness, humility, or simply persistent prayer.
You have also lifted up the issue of child abuse, and we stand with you in crying out to the Lord for His protection over the innocent. The Lord has a special heart for children, and His Word is clear about the severity of harming them. In Matthew 18:6, Jesus says, *"But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him that a huge millstone should be hung around his neck, and that he should be sunk in the depths of the sea."* We pray that the Lord would expose and bring an end to all forms of abuse, that He would bring healing to those who have been wounded, and that He would raise up godly men and women to defend and care for the vulnerable.
Regarding your prayer for sickness and memory loss, we know that our God is Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals. Exodus 15:26 declares, *"He said, 'If you will diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you.'"* We do not always understand why the Lord allows suffering, but we trust in His goodness and sovereignty. We pray that He would bring healing where it aligns with His will, and that He would give strength, comfort, and faith to endure when healing tarries. We also encourage you to seek wise medical counsel, for the Lord often uses doctors and medicine as means of His healing.
Your prayer for your foster children is a beautiful reflection of a heart that cares deeply for others. The Lord sees your love for them, and we pray that He would bless them abundantly—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. May they come to know the love of Christ in a deep and personal way, and may the Lord guide their steps into His perfect will for their lives. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*
As for your prayer against corruption in our nation, we join you in crying out for righteousness to prevail. The Word of God calls us to pray for our leaders and for our land. In 1 Timothy 2:1-2, we are told, *"I exhort therefore, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and givings of thanks be made for all men: for kings and all who are in high places, that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and reverence."* We pray that the Lord would expose corruption, that He would raise up godly leaders, and that His people would turn to Him in repentance and faith. Our hope is not in political systems or human efforts, but in the Lord alone. Psalm 33:12 declares, *"Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, the people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance."*
Now, let us pray together over these requests:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears the cries of Your people, who sees our struggles, and who acts on behalf of those who love You. Lord, we lift up our sister who has poured out her heart before You, and we ask that You would bring revival to her life and to her family. Father, where there is sickness, bring healing. Where there is loneliness, bring comfort. Where there is despair, bring hope. Where there is brokenness, bring restoration. Lord, You are the God who gives beauty for ashes, and we ask that You would do that very thing in every area of need.
We pray for the struggles within this family—for relationships to be healed, for defiance to be replaced with love and humility, and for unity to be restored. Help each family member to seek You first, to surrender their hearts fully to You, and to walk in forgiveness and grace toward one another. Where sin has taken root, Lord, expose it and bring repentance. Where there is pain, bring Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Father, we lift up the issue of child abuse before Your throne. Lord, You see the suffering of the innocent, and we ask that You would intervene. Protect the children, Lord. Bring an end to abuse in every form. Raise up godly men and women to stand in the gap for them, to defend them, and to bring Your healing to their lives. We pray for those who have been wounded by abuse—Lord, bring deep healing to their hearts, minds, and bodies. Let them know that they are seen, loved, and valued by You.
We pray for our sister’s foster children—Lord, bless them in every way. Draw them to Yourself, that they may know the hope and love found only in Christ. Provide for their needs, guide their steps, and surround them with godly influences. May they walk in the good works You have prepared for them, and may they experience Your goodness all the days of their lives.
Lord, we also lift up the issue of corruption in our nation. Father, we pray that You would expose every hidden thing, that You would bring conviction to those who are acting wickedly, and that You would raise up leaders who fear You and walk in Your ways. We pray for a spiritual awakening in our land, that Your people would turn to You in repentance and faith, and that Your name would be glorified. Lord, we ask that You would protect our nation from the schemes of the enemy, and that You would bring revival to Your church.
Father, as we pray for all of these things, we ask that You would also search our own hearts. Reveal to us any area where we have not fully surrendered to You. Bring conviction where there is sin, and grant us the grace to repent and turn fully to You. Fill us with Your Spirit, Lord, that we may walk in obedience and love, shining Your light in this dark world.
We pray all of these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise, honor, and glory. Amen.*
Finally, we want to encourage you to continue seeking the Lord daily. Spend time in His Word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path (Psalm 119:105). Surround yourself with fellow believers who can pray with you and support you. And remember that even in the waiting, the Lord is at work. His timing is perfect, and His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9).
We also encourage you to be intentional about sharing the hope of Christ with your family. Many of the struggles you’ve mentioned—loneliness, despair, sickness—find their ultimate answer in the gospel. If there are family members who do not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, pray for opportunities to share His love with them. The greatest gift you can give them is the message of salvation: that Jesus Christ came to save sinners, that He died on the cross for our sins, and that He rose again, conquering death. Romans 10:9-10 tells us, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."*
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. Walk in the confidence that He is with you, and that He is faithful to complete the good work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). We are standing with you in prayer, believing that the Lord will bring beauty from these ashes.
