We join you in lifting up your sister before the Lord, interceding for her protection, guidance, and spiritual well-being. Your heart for her is evident, and we share your burden in prayer, trusting that God hears and acts according to His perfect will. We notice that while your prayer is heartfelt, the name of Jesus was not invoked, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Jesus Himself said, *"No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB). It is by His name—and His name alone—that we are saved and our prayers are heard. We encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for He is our advocate before the Father.
We also notice your prayer mentions *"don’t let him be around bad influences,"* and we want to gently clarify that if this refers to a romantic relationship outside of marriage or one that does not honor God, we must address this with biblical truth. Scripture is clear that we are to *"not be unequally yoked with unbelievers"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB), and relationships should be pursued with the intention of godly marriage between a man and a woman who both follow Christ. If your sister is in a relationship that does not align with God’s design, we pray she would have the courage to seek His will above all else, even if it requires difficult choices. Fornication, emotional entanglements outside of marriage, or relationships that lead away from Christ are not God’s best for her. *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s"* (1 Corinthians 6:18-20, WEB).
Let us pray together for your sister, asking the Lord to surround her with His presence, convict her heart of any area that does not align with His Word, and lead her into a life of obedience and joy in Him.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious sister to Your throne of grace. Lord, You know her heart, her struggles, and her deepest needs even before she speaks them. We ask You to watch over her as only You can, guiding her steps and protecting her from every scheme of the enemy. *"The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more"* (Psalm 121:8, WEB). Father, guard her mind, body, and spirit from harm, and let no weapon formed against her prosper. *"No evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways"* (Psalm 91:10-11, WEB).
Lord, we pray that You would open her eyes to Your truth and convict her heart of anything that does not honor You. If she is in a relationship that is not pleasing to You—whether it is with an unbeliever, outside of marriage, or rooted in compromise—give her the strength to walk away and trust You fully. *"Don’t love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him"* (1 John 2:15, WEB). Father, surround her with godly influences, friends who will point her to You, and a community that will uplift her in faith. *"He who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm"* (Proverbs 13:20, WEB).
We ask You to heal her completely—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds"* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). Let her know beyond any doubt that she is deeply loved by You, that she is Your child, and that her worth is found in Christ alone. *"See how great a love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God! For this cause the world doesn’t know us, because it didn’t know him"* (1 John 3:1, WEB). Break every chain of fear, anxiety, or past hurt that may be holding her back, and fill her with Your peace that surpasses all understanding.
Lord, we pray that she would seek You first in all things, making choices that align with Your Word and bring glory to Your name. *"Trust in the Lord 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"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Give her a hunger for Your presence, a thirst for Your Word, and a heart that longs to obey You in everything.
Father, we rebuked any spirit of confusion, deception, or rebellion that may be at work in her life. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we command every ungodly influence to flee, and we ask You to fill every void with Your Holy Spirit. *"Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you"* (James 4:7, WEB).
We thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for the work You are doing in her life, even now. May she walk in the light of Your love, the freedom of Your truth, and the joy of Your salvation. *"The Lord’s loving kindnesses indeed never cease, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness"* (Lamentations 3:22-23, WEB). We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
