We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, lifting up these burdens in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). First and foremost, we must address the foundation of salvation. If you or your friend have not confessed with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believed in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will not be saved (Romans 10:9). Salvation is not found in uncertainty or doubt, but in the assurance of faith in Christ alone. We pray that the Lord will remove every veil of confusion and reveal Himself as the one true God to your friend. Let the scales fall from his eyes, Lord, so that he may see Your glory and surrender his life to You.
Father, we rebuke the spirit of pride that seeks to blind hearts to Your truth. Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall (Proverbs 16:18). We ask that You humble this spirit and break its hold, for You resist the proud but give grace to the humble (James 4:6). Lord, we also lift up this dear sister who is struggling to return to You. We know that sin separates us from Your presence, and we confess that we have all fallen short of Your glory (Romans 3:23). But Your Word promises that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). We pray that You would draw her back to Yourself with cords of love and kindness.
We recognize the battle you are facing in walking away from things that are not pleasing to God. The flesh is weak, but the spirit is willing (Matthew 26:41). We pray that You would strengthen her to resist temptation and flee from sin. Help her to renew her mind through Your Word and to set her heart on things above, not on earthly things (Colossians 3:2). Lord, we also pray for her return to the body of Christ. The church is not a building but a family, and we are called to gather together, encouraging one another and stirring up love and good works (Hebrews 10:24-25). We ask that You restore her sense of belonging and connection to Your people.
We lift up the situation at work, Lord, and we ask that You bring justice and fairness to this environment. You are a God who sees and knows all things, and You will not let the wicked go unpunished (Proverbs 11:21). We pray that You would expose any favoritism, retaliation, or unfairness and bring it to light. Give her wisdom and discernment in how to handle this situation, and grant her favor with those in authority. We declare that no weapon formed against her shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment, she shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).
Finally, Lord, we pray for healing from fibroids. You are the Great Physician, and by Your stripes, we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). We ask that You touch her body and bring complete restoration. Strengthen her faith to believe in Your healing power and to walk in the fullness of Your promises.
Heavenly Father, we come together in agreement, trusting in Your perfect will and timing. We declare that Your grace is sufficient, and Your power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
