Wisdom andd Gratefulness

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer for your family has been received and we join you in bringing these burdens before the Lord with gratefulness for His mercy and trust in His wisdom.

We pray for your younger daughter, that the Lord would cover her with His protection and give her peaceful rest tonight and clear guidance tomorrow. We ask God to grant her wisdom from above, not the wisdom of this world which passes away and cannot profit, but the hidden wisdom He ordained for those who love Him. May she see clearly the matters before her, her health, her busy schedule, the responsibility of caring for her dog, and the financial burden that a move would bring, and may she make a decision with prudence and stewardship that honors God and brings her peace.

We pray for your whole household, that God would strengthen your unity, love, peace, gratefulness and respect. Where there has been havoc and division, we ask for healing and restoration in Christ. We pray that your younger daughter would be guarded from persistent and jealous influences that would press her toward a path that is not wise or helpful, and that she would continue to stand firm in what is good, as she has done before.

For your older daughter, we pray with love and truth. We do not ask God to bless a living arrangement outside of marriage, for Scripture teaches that marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman and that living together and sexual union belong within that covenant. We pray instead that she would come to see the seriousness of her current path, that the Lord in His kindness would lead her to repentance and to faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, and that He would give her clarity and courage to walk in holiness. We pray also for this young man and his mother, not with hatred but with hope that they too would come to know Christ, and that any influence that encourages gossip, disrespect, ungratefulness, exclusion or mocking would be removed from your daughters. May your daughters not imitate what is not of God, but grow in character that reflects Him.

We pray for your son and for you and all your children, that you would know the security that is in Jesus. The Scriptures teach that where grace is, there is forgiveness, and where forgiveness is, punishment is removed. Through faith in Christ we have confidence, for He was made unto us wisdom and righteousness. We plead the blood of Jesus over you and your family and ask for His hedge of protection, His ministering angels, and the full armor of God to guard you. We remember that no weapon formed against those who are in Christ shall finally prosper, and that by His wounds we are healed. There is no need to live in fear of word curses or witchcraft or spiteful jealousy, for Christ is far mightier, and your faith, like the woman who heard the words Daughter be of good cheer thy faith hath made thee whole, can rest in His power.

May the Lord frustrate every plan that would draw your younger daughter away from what is best for her, and may He establish her in wisdom and contentment. May He bring complete restoration to broken relationships according to His will, and fill your home with thankfulness.

We join you in declaring trust in the Lord who can do what is impossible for us, and we ask all these things in the name of Jesus. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your heart for your family is evident and we join you in lifting each of them before the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have salvation and access to the Father.

We pray first for wisdom for your younger daughter. Scripture teaches that wisdom is the principal thing and that we should seek it above all else. It is better than rubies and nothing we desire can compare to it. Wisdom dwells with prudence and gives sound judgment, and the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Knowledge gives facts, but wisdom knows how to apply those facts rightly. We ask God to give your daughter that kind of wisdom from above, so she can see clearly the practical realities you mentioned, her health, her busy schedule, the responsibility of caring for her dog, and the financial strain and stress a move would bring. True wisdom preserves and keeps those who love her, and she cries out like one who has prepared a banquet and invites all to come and receive. We pray your daughter will hear that invitation and choose the path that leads to peace and stability, and that she will have a calm and restful night and a peaceful day as she rests in the Lord's care.

We also pray for your family as a whole. God gave His ways for the family for our good. When we walk in them, they build up love, unity, peace, gratefulness and respect. When we turn from them, they tear relationships apart. We ask the Lord to strengthen your family in unity and to guard your home from imitation of what is not of Him, including gossip, disrespect, ungratefulness, exclusion and mocking. The wisdom that comes from above is pure, peaceable, gentle and full of mercy, while the wisdom that is earthly and sensual leads to envy, strife and confusion. We pray God will help each of you discern the difference and follow what comes from above, so the fruit in your home will be purity and peace rather than division.

For your older daughter, we pray with love and truth. God designed marriage to be a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and He intends sexual union and living together to belong within that covenant. To live outside of it is not God's good plan and does not bring His blessing. We do not ask God to bless what is outside His design, but we do ask Him to work with mercy and power to bring conviction, repentance and restoration. We pray she will come to see the path she is on clearly, turn to Christ, and be led away from what is toxic and destructive into a life that honors Him. We pray the Lord will graciously separate both your daughters from ungodly influences, including this young man and his mother, so far as those relationships are pulling them away from Him, and that any influence that breeds jealousy and havoc would be frustrated and have no hold.

For your son and for you and all your children, we pray the protection that belongs to those who are in Christ. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and by His wounds you have been healed. The enemy's schemes, including hatred, spoken curses and any form of spiritual harm rooted in jealousy and spite, have no authority over those who are covered by the blood of Jesus. We plead that covering over you and your household and ask the Lord to surround you with His hedge of protection, to clothe you in the full armor of God, and to command His ministering angels to guard you.

We ask the Father to bring complete restoration where relationships have been broken, to frustrate every plan that would pressure your younger daughter to move in a way that would harm her, and to replace anxiety with gratefulness and trust. May He guide each of you to walk in His ways, to love wisdom, to hate evil, and to find in Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, the strength to stand firm.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

We have continued to lift up your younger daughter before the Lord, pleading the blood of Jesus Christ over her and asking for His hedge of protection, ministry angels and full armor to shield her, you and your children. We have prayed that she would have peaceful and restful nights and days, and that the Lord would grant her wisdom to see clearly how moving would negatively affect her health, her busy schedule, her ability to care for her dog and bring financial hardship and stress. We have asked the Lord to frustrate every plot to draw her away and to protect her from the jealous and persistent negative influences who are guiding her down a dark path, including the young man and his mother, and that He would not allow gossiping, disrespect, ungratefulness, exclusion and mocking to take root in her life. We have also prayed for your family unity, love, peace, gratefulness and respect to remain stronger than ever, and for complete restoration of every broken relationship, remembering Psalm 133:1. We continue to pray for your older daughter that the Lord would open her eyes to see the destructive nature of living outside of marriage and would miraculously move her away from that toxic relationship and living arrangement, and for your son that he would be protected from hatred, word curses and witchcraft. We stand on James 1:5 that God gives wisdom generously and on Isaiah 54:17 that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and on Psalm 91:11 that He will give His angels charge over you, and we declare by His stripes you and your children are healed.

If your request was answered and you have seen the Lord grant your younger daughter peace, wisdom and protection, keep her from moving, guard your family unity and bring deliverance, please post a praise report and let us all know so we may rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered yet, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer.

May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ. We pray in Jesus Name that the Lord will continue to surround you and your children with His peace, wisdom and restoring power. Amen.
