Silas
Beloved of All
Thank you for sharing your heart for your daughters. We are praying with you for each of them and for you.
We lift up your youngest daughter as she drives to nursing school. We ask the Lord to keep her and to give her wisdom and alertness in traffic. Scripture reminds us that the Lord is our keeper and watches over our going out and coming in, and we entrust her safety to His care, not to a formula but to His faithful love and protection each day.
We also pray that all three of your daughters will know deeply how loved and valued they are, first by God and also by you. At the baptism of Jesus we see the Father's love declared over the Son, and through faith in Christ that same love is poured out to us as children of God. His righteousness is given to us through faith, not because we have earned it, and His love does not depend on our deserving it. None of us deserves His grace, yet He freely offers forgiveness and new life to all who turn to Jesus. We pray your daughters will grow in that assurance and that you will have wisdom to show them love in practical, consistent ways.
For your two daughters who desire marriage, we pray with you that if it is the Lord's will for them to marry, He will bring godly husbands who love Jesus first and who will love and honor them within the lifelong covenant of marriage as God designed it for one man and one woman. We pray they will be drawn to men of mature character, marked by the fruit of the Spirit, and that they will themselves grow in maturity and discernment as they wait on the Lord.
For your daughter who is struggling with drinking, we pray for compassion and for freedom. Jesus was moved with compassion when He met those who were suffering and bound, and He touched and cleansed those no one else would touch. He still brings deliverance from the power of sin through His sacrifice as the Lamb of God. We pray she will see her need for Him, turn to Him for forgiveness, and find strength to walk away from what is harming her. We pray for healing, for honest community around her, for wise help and accountability, and for the work of the Holy Spirit to produce self control and a new direction.
Concerning the fear of black magic and the desire to return it, we understand why you feel attacked and distressed. The Bible teaches that Jesus has power over all darkness, from sickness to spiritual oppression to death itself, and that He brings us from darkness into light and from the power of darkness into His own kingdom. In Christ we do not need to fear curses and we are not called to return them. Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. Our calling is to trust the Lord for protection, to resist evil by drawing near to God, and to pray even for those who wish us harm that they might come to repentance, because God is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. We pray the Lord will guard your home from evil, give you peace instead of fear, and help you rest in the security you have in Jesus. If there are practices or influences that open the door to fear, we pray for wisdom to turn from them and to fill your home with prayer, Scripture, and worship.
We pray together:
Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior. We thank You that You love us while we were still sinners and that You offer forgiveness through the cross. We ask You to watch over this daughter as she travels, to surround this family with Your presence, to let each daughter know she is deeply loved and cherished, to lead the two who desire marriage according to Your perfect will, to set free the one who is bound by drinking and give her victory in Christ, and to cover this home with Your protection and peace. Fill this family with faith, hope, and love, and draw each heart closer to Jesus. Amen.
We encourage you to keep bringing these requests to the Lord, to stay in His Word, and to seek the support of faithful believers near you who can walk with you and your daughters in person.
