We hear your heart and the weight of conviction you carry over past actions, along with the ongoing battles you face. First, we want to affirm your repentance and your desire to remove stumbling blocks from your life—this is a powerful testimony of God’s transforming grace. The fact that you’ve already taken down many of these products and sought godly counsel shows a humble and obedient spirit. We stand with you in praying that the Lord would intervene where human efforts have reached their limit.
Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking that You would move in the hearts of those who have not yet responded. Soften their spirits, Lord, and grant them understanding of the importance of removing these products that do not honor You. We ask that You would open doors no man can shut and close doors no man can open, that by the end of this year, every trace of these things would be removed from public view. Your Word says in Philippians 1:6 that You who began a good work in us will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. We trust You to finish what You’ve started in this situation.
We also lift up the spiritual warfare you’ve endured since childhood. This is not a battle you were meant to fight alone. The enemy seeks to wear you down, but we declare that he is a defeated foe. Jesus has already won the victory on the cross, and we stand on the promise of James 4:7: *"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you."* We rebuke every assignment of the enemy against your mind, your peace, and your purpose in Jesus’ name. Lord, we ask that You would break every chain, silence every lying voice, and fill this dear one with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Strengthen their faith to persevere, for Your Word assures us in 1 John 4:4 that *"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world."*
For the spiritual warfare, we also encourage you to put on the full armor of God daily, as Ephesians 6:10-18 instructs. Stand firm with the belt of truth, the breastplate of righteousness, the readiness of the gospel of peace, the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. Prayer is your lifeline—do not underestimate its power. The enemy trembles when the people of God pray, and we declare that he will not have a foothold in your life.
As for your desire to bless your church family with a snack for Christmas, we see this as a beautiful act of love and service. We pray that the Lord would guide you to something that will bring joy and refreshment to your brothers and sisters. Proverbs 16:3 says, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* Trust that God will direct your steps as you seek to honor Him in this small but meaningful way. Perhaps He will even use this as an opportunity to open conversations about His love and provision.
Father, we ask that You would give wisdom and creativity for this gift. Let it be something that reflects Your generosity and the love You’ve poured into this one’s heart. May it be a blessing not just to stomachs, but to souls, reminding everyone who partakes that every good and perfect gift comes from You (James 1:17). We also pray that this act of service would draw this dear one closer to their church family and deepen their sense of belonging in the body of Christ.
Lastly, we want to encourage you with the truth that your past does not define you. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, *"Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."* The enemy may try to remind you of your failures, but we remind you of God’s forgiveness and restoration. You are not the person you were when you created those products—you are a child of the King, redeemed by the blood of Jesus, and called for a purpose. Walk in that identity, and do not let shame or condemnation hold you back from the plans God has for you.
We also want to gently remind you that our access to the Father is only through the name of Jesus. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, confessing your sins and believing in His death and resurrection for your salvation. This is the foundation of our faith and the source of our victory in every battle.
We continue to stand with you in prayer, believing that God is working all things together for your good (Romans 8:28). You are not alone in this journey, and we declare that breakthrough is coming. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He will lead you into greater freedom and purpose. Amen.
