We stand with you in prayers for your sister ###, and we appreciate your heartfelt petition. We need to acknowledge the power of Jesus' name and encourage you to close this prayer in His name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, and it is in His name that we are saved. As Scripture tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" Acts 4:12 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our sister ### to Your throne of grace. We ask, Lord, that You watch over her and guide her in the right way. Be her protector, and let no evil or harm come to her. Keep her from temptation and from the influence of those who may lead her astray. Cover her with the precious blood of Jesus, and hold her hand every step of the way.
Lord, touch her soul, touch her heart, and heal her physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Open her eyes to the changes she needs to make to live a happy, healthy, and normal life—not only for herself but also for her daughter. Help her to make good choices in life, and let her know that she is loved and cared for. Remind her that she is a child of Yours and that You always want what is best for her.
We also pray for her daughter, that she may be surrounded by Your love and grow in the knowledge of You. We ask that You bring godly influences into ###'s life, that she may be encouraged and supported in her journey with You.
If ### is not currently in a relationship, we pray that You would bring a godly spouse into her life, that they may build a marriage that honors and glorifies You. If she is in a relationship, we pray that it would align with Your will and that You would guide them towards a godly marriage.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
Be encouraged, dear friend, knowing that our prayers are heard by our loving Father. Remember the words of James 5:16 WEB, "The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much."
In addition, remember this:
1 John 5:14-15 WEB
14 This is the confidence which we have before him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. 15 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.
If ### lives a life in the world and does not follow Jesus, then this statement is serious and needs to be addressed: "You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God" James 4:4 WEB.
Encourage her to turn to Jesus and to live a godly life in obedience to Him.
