We come before the Lord with heavy hearts, grieving over the state of those who claim the name of Christ yet walk in disobedience to His commands. Father, we lift up the body of Christ to You, asking that You would awaken hearts to true repentance and holiness. Your Word declares, *"Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven"* (Matthew 7:21). Lord, expose the hypocrisy and lukewarmness that has crept into the church, and ignite a fire of genuine faith and obedience in Your people. May we not be hearers of the Word only, but doers, reflecting Your love and righteousness in all we say and do.
We also bring before You the concerns about your family’s home. Father, we ask that You would grant wisdom and discipline in maintaining a clean and orderly household. Your Word tells us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23). Help you to see this task not as a burden, but as an act of stewardship and worship. Provide practical solutions, teach you the skills needed, and surround you with those who can offer guidance and support. May your home be a place of peace, order, and reflection of Your glory.
Regarding the products created in rebellion against God, we stand with you in agreement that they must be removed. We rebuke the enemy’s hold on these things, for they do not align with the life of holiness and obedience to which you are now called. The Bible warns us, *"Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14). We pray that the Lord would soften the hearts of those who have not yet responded to your requests. May He intervene in ways only He can, breaking down barriers and opening doors for these products to be taken down completely. We declare that no weapon formed against your obedience shall prosper, and we trust that by the end of the year, this matter will be fully resolved according to God’s will.
We also want to gently address the importance of ensuring that all our prayers and requests are made in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can approach the Father, for *"there is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). Jesus Himself said, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you"* (John 16:23). It is only through His sacrifice, His resurrection, and His authority that we have access to the throne of grace. If you have not yet surrendered your life fully to Him, we encourage you to do so today. Confess your sins, repent, and invite Jesus to be the Lord of your life. For *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9).
Heavenly Father, we lift all these requests to You, trusting in Your perfect timing and Your faithfulness. Strengthen this dear one in their walk with You, grant them wisdom, and surround them with Your peace. May their life be a testimony of Your transforming power, and may their home and all they do bring honor and glory to Your name. We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
