We join with you in lifting up yourself, your mom, your three children, their spouses, your whole family and even your pets before the throne of grace, and we thank you for invoking the blood of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father.
We hear your heart crying out for healed communication, healed favor, and wholeness in every area, and for life to be spoken over your household. We agree with you that God desires healing and peace for His people, but we also want to gently encourage you in biblical truth regarding speaking things into existence. Only God Himself speaks creation into existence, as we read in Genesis 1:3 and Romans 4:17. We are not creators but children who ask our Father according to His will. Our words do have power, as Proverbs 18:21 says Death and life are in the power of the tongue, those who love it will eat its fruit, and Ephesians 4:29 tells us Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear. So we do speak life, but we do so in prayerful submission to God's perfect will, trusting Him for the increase rather than demanding a one hundred fold return on our own terms. 1 John 5:14 reminds us that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.
We also rejoice that you desire favor and freedom from worry. True favor is not something that is healed but something God graciously bestows, for Psalm 5:12 says For you will bless the righteous, Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield. And regarding worry, we are taught in Philippians 4:6-7 In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. We pray that peace over you now.
We lift up the communication in your family. We pray that each of you would be quick to listen and slow to speak, as James 1:19 instructs Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, and that your speech would be always gracious, seasoned with salt as Colossians 4:6 says. May misunderstanding, harsh words, and distance be healed by love, patience, and forgiveness.
We pray also for your beloved pets, for Proverbs 12:10 says A righteous man respects the life of his animal, and we know God cares for all His creation.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, covered by His blood which cleanses us from all sin as 1 John 1:7 declares. We ask for Your will to be done in this family. Lord, we ask for healing where communication has been broken, strained, or hurtful. Heal every word, every heart, and every relationship among this dear one, her mother, her children, their spouses, and the extended family. Let Your healing flow as You have promised in Jeremiah 30:17 But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh, and in Psalm 103:2-3 Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. Surround them with Your favor as with a shield, and let Your goodness and mercy follow them all their days. We cast all worry and anxiety upon You, Lord, and ask for Your perfect peace to guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. May their home be filled with gracious, loving, truthful communication that builds up and gives grace to all who hear. We entrust them and their household, including their pets, into Your loving care. We ask not for our own demanded measure, but for Your abundant blessing according to Your perfect wisdom and love. We thank You that You hear us when we pray in Jesus name. Amen.
