Wisdom andd Gratefulness

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been heard and we join you in bringing your family before the Lord with a heart of trust in His power and mercy.

We thank God for your faith in pleading the blood of Jesus Christ over your children. There is no other name by which we are saved, and no other shelter so strong. We pray with you for your younger daughter, that the Lord would guard her today and give her a peaceful and settled day at school. May He grant her favor with her teachers and true wisdom and knowledge in her studies, not the wisdom of this world which passes away and profits little, but the wisdom from above which is pure and leads to life. As it is written, God has made Christ Himself to be our wisdom, and that wisdom is far greater than all the counsel of those who do not know Him.

We pray that the Lord would protect the love and respect between your daughter and her brother, and strengthen the bonds of unity, love, peace, gratefulness and respect in your whole household. Where there has been strife and division sown by outside influences, we ask God to bring healing and restoration. We ask Him to give your younger daughter clear eyes to see the practical realities you have mentioned, her health, her busy schedule, the responsibility of caring for her dog, and the financial hardship that moving would bring. Grant her the true prudence to count the cost wisely and to remain content and steadfast where she has been doing well, not being drawn away by persistent pressure.

We also lift up your older daughter with love and concern. We do not ask God to bless a living arrangement outside of His design for marriage, which is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman where love and life together belong, but we do ask Him in mercy to open her eyes to see the path she is on and to lead her to repentance and to new life in Christ. We pray that the Lord would in His perfect timing and power separate her from what is harmful and toxic, and draw her back to Himself and to wholeness. We pray that both of your daughters would not imitate gossip, disrespect, ungratefulness, exclusion or mocking, but would instead grow in the character of Christ.

For your son, we pray for protection from every form of hatred, harmful words and spiritual evil. We stand with you on the promise that no weapon formed against those who are in Christ shall prosper, and that by His wounds we are healed. We ask the Lord to place His hedge of protection around you and your children, to clothe you in the full armor of God, and to command His angels to guard you.

We praise God that your younger daughter has remained steadfast and content at home. May the Lord continue to strengthen her faith, for faith is what makes us whole and makes us daughters and sons of God. May He keep her from the dark path that others would guide her toward, and swiftly remove those negative and jealous influences that have caused havoc in your family. May He replace confusion with clarity, anxiety with peace, and complaining with gratefulness.

Father, we ask for Your divine intervention in this family. Let Your will be done. Restore what has been broken, guard what is good, and lead each of your children into the wisdom that You ordained before the world for Your glory. Help this mother to continue in prayer with a contrite and trusting heart, knowing that prayer is able to accomplish great things.

We declare your trust in the Lord that nothing is impossible for Him, and we ask all of this in the name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and our peace. Amen.

 

[Silas]

We join you in prayer for your family and lift each of these burdens to the Lord who hears and who is able to do what is impossible for us.

We pray first for your younger daughter. We ask the Lord to cover her with His protection through the blood of Jesus Christ and to give her a peaceful and settled day in her studies. The Scriptures teach that wisdom is better than rubies and that nothing we desire can compare with it, and that the Lord Himself gives wisdom and from His mouth come knowledge and understanding. We pray that she will seek wisdom as one seeks for silver and for hidden treasure, diligently and with her whole heart, so that she will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. Wisdom is the principal thing, and when she loves wisdom and keeps it, wisdom will preserve her and keep her. We ask God to grant her clear sight to weigh this decision about moving. With her health needs, her busy schedule, the care of her dog, and the financial weight it would bring, we pray the Lord will help her see plainly how it would add stress and hardship rather than good, and give her the strength to remain where she has been content and steady.

We pray also for the relationship between your children. We ask God to restore love, respect, gratitude and peace between your daughter and her brother, and to heal what has been broken. The Word warns us not to walk on the path of those who do evil, not to pass by it but to turn from it and go another way, because those influences bring strife and division. We pray the Lord will deliver your daughter from flattering words and persistent pressures that would draw her away, and that He will swiftly remove the negative influences that are preying upon her and causing havoc in your home. May He place a hedge of protection around her, give His angels charge over her, and clothe her with the full armor of God so that no weapon formed against her will prosper.

We pray for your older daughter with love and truth. We do not ask God to bless a living arrangement outside of marriage, because Scripture teaches that marriage is the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman and that living together apart from that covenant is not God's good design. Instead we pray that the Lord in His mercy will open her eyes to see the destructive nature of that path, bring her to repentance, and in His power move her away from it to a place of wholeness and obedience. We pray that both of your daughters will be kept from imitating patterns of gossip, disrespect, ungratefulness, exclusion and mocking, and that instead their hearts will be shaped by the commandments of God written upon their hearts, which are given for our good and for our protection.

We pray for your son as well, and for you. The Lord knows how to deliver the righteous even when they feel surrounded, and He has promised that by His wounds we are healed. We ask Him to guard your son from hatred and harmful words spoken against him and from every form of spiritual harm, and to heal and protect your whole household. May He keep your family in unity, with love, peace, thankfulness and mutual respect made stronger than before, and may He replace a complaining spirit with a grateful heart that remembers His goodness.

We declare our trust in Jesus alone for salvation and for every need, and we ask for complete restoration of what has been broken, according to His will and for His glory. In the name of Jesus we pray, amen.

We thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf and we are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for your younger daughter and your whole family. 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 and His full armor and ministry angels to shield her and your household.

We have prayed that she would experience a peaceful, relaxed and satisfying day at school, that the Lord would grant her favor and give her wisdom and knowledge in her studies as promised in James 1:5, and that His peace which surpasses all understanding would guard her heart according to Phil 4:7. We have also stood with you for the restoration of love and respect between your daughter and her brother and for the removal of every negative influence causing strife and division in their relationship.

We have continued to pray for wisdom for your younger daughter to see clearly that moving would harm her health, overwhelm her busy schedule, make it difficult to care for her dog and bring financial hardship and stress that would burden her. We have asked the Lord to keep your family unity, love, peace, gratefulness and respect stronger than ever and to swiftly remove and block the jealous and persistent influence of the friend, the young man your older daughter is living with outside of marriage, and his mother who have been preying on her to move and causing havoc within your family.

We have prayed for your older daughter to come to her senses and see the destructive life she is living and for the Lord to completely and miraculously move her away from that toxic relationship and living arrangement, and for both of your daughters to be guarded from imitating gossip, disrespect, ungratefulness, exclusion, mocking and other behaviors that are not from the Lord. We have also prayed for protection over your son from hatred, word curses and witchcraft from jealousy and spiteful influences, claiming Isaiah 54:17 that no weapon formed against you shall prosper and that by His stripes you and your children are healed.

If your request was answered and you have seen your younger daughter remain steadfast and content at home, experience peace and favor at school, gain clarity not to move, or see restoration in the sibling relationship, 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, 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 this in Jesus name, Amen.
