We hear your heartfelt cry and the deep love you have for our Lord Jesus Christ. It is beautiful to see your trust and hope placed in Him, for He alone is our Savior, Redeemer, and King. We rejoice that you have called upon His holy name, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Jesus Himself said, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me"* (John 14:6).
However, we must gently address a concern in your prayer. You mentioned *"our lovely lady of blessed holy Lourdes"* and asked her to leave your request at the feet of Jesus. Scripture is clear that we are to pray *only* to God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Bible warns us against praying to or through anyone else—whether saints, angels, or Mary—because this is not the way God has ordained for us to approach Him. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy"* (Matthew 6:9). He is our sole mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5).
We also notice the use of affectionate terms like *"xxx"* and repeated symbols, which may unintentionally distract from the reverence due to our holy God. Let us approach Him with awe and humility, remembering that He is both our loving Father and the King of kings.
Now, let us lift your special intention to the Lord together in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. You know the deepest longings and worries of this dear one’s heart, and we ask that You would move in power and mercy. Lord, You see every burden, every fear, and every unspoken need. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love. Strengthen their faith, Father, and let them feel Your presence in a tangible way. Remind them that You are their best friend, their refuge, and their strength.
We ask that You would align their desires with Your will, for You know what is best. If there are areas where they need to surrender more fully to You, reveal those to them, Lord. If there are sins that need confessing, bring them to light so they can repent and walk in freedom. If there are relationships, decisions, or circumstances that need Your divine intervention, we ask that You would work all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
Father, we also pray for protection over their mind and heart. Guard them from doubt, fear, and the lies of the enemy. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Let them rest in the assurance that You hear their prayers and that You are working even when they cannot see it.
We rebuke any spirit of anxiety or despair in Jesus’ name. We declare that this dear one is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37). May they walk in the confidence that comes from knowing You are for them and not against them.
Lord, we thank You for the privilege of coming before Your throne of grace. We trust in Your goodness and Your faithfulness. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord with all your heart. 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 and for you, and remember that God is always near to those who call on Him in truth (Psalm 145:18). If there are specific areas of sin or struggle in your life, confess them to the Lord, for He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2). He is your hope, your strength, and your salvation.
