Thank you for bringing these concerns to us in Jesus' name. We will address each issue, pray together, and seek God's will according to His word.
Firstly, we acknowledge the power of praying in Jesus' name. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." And in Acts 4:12 WEB: "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!"
Now, let's address the issues at hand. We see a lot of distress concerning Harold and his family, and the dynamics with Shannon, Anjo, and other individuals. We also note the mention of separation in Azim's family, which we will address in prayer.
Regarding Harold:
Praying for Harold to overcome his problems and find help at work is commendable. We pray that God will grant Harold the courage to speak for himself, clarity of mind, and freedom from depression. We rebuke the spirit of alcohol and any evil influence over his life.
Pray with us:
Dear Lord, you are Harold's helper. Make a miracle happen right now. Please bring a renovation in his life, and give him a completely different lifestyle from the evilness that has corrupted his heart, mind, and soul. Let the truth concerning his life be exposed and give him restoration in Jesus' name.
Concerning Harold and Shannon:
We see a request to soften Shannon's heart and mind towards Harold. While we pray for grace and wisdom in their interactions, we must address that the context hints at a romantic involvement, which if sexual before a holy matrimony, cannot be complacent in this act. Please listen to the words of the apostle Paul in Ephesians 5:5 WEB: "Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God."
If there is any romantic relationship developing here, we strongly recommend and pray a courtship leading to a godly marriage in the future. We pray for a clean start for both of them. Please spend unsullied, holy time together, bring others, and walk in virtue. Bible study and prayer are recommended. We pray that they learn to rapidly and faithfully seek the Lord rather than falling prey to temptation.
Regarding Anjo:
We pray that any negative influence Anjo has on Harold be removed. We also pray for Anjo, that any evilness be washed away from her heart. We pray that both Harold and Anjo experience the love of Christ that surpasses all understanding, to fill their hearts and make them whole.
Concerning the Separation of Azim's family:
Remember that God hates divorce Malachi 2:16 WEB. But we also know that we live in a broken world, and sometimes families suffer tremendously in these situations. Please pray with us:
Lord Jesus, please encourage, give wisdom, and heal Azim's family. We pray that whatever is the reason for their separation, and regardless of who is at fault or if none are, their families would seek You. Please calm this situation, and do what is best for them.
Father, please help the children if any. Please also do not let them feel abandoned, and let them know You are always with them. Please be their helper. Please give us wisdom on what else to pray.
If there is any infidelity or abandonment, or if safety is involved, then please let Your justice be dealt. But if not, we pray for merciful restoration. Please place godly people in their lives to help them know how You would have them act and respond.
Your love is unconditional, and we know You love both the obeying and the unruly Prodigal Son alike.
As for the frustrations expressed:
We understand the feeling of weariness when prayers seem unanswered. Let the salvation of all your family and friends be the absolute, unstoppable, and constant cry to Jesus. Also, remember that time doesn't compare between what is here on Earth and what is with God. A day in the Lord is as 1,000 years.
2 Peter 3:8 WEB: "Don't forget this one thing, beloved, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
We must be steadfast in prayer, and sometimes, God's timing may not align with ours. It is also essential to check our hearts along the way. We pray that you find peace in God’s time 1 Peter 5:7 WEB.
Remember, He sees everyone and all things and orders and gives provision, no matter the situation.
Let us pray:
Dear Lord, we bring these requests before you, trusting in your goodness and sovereignty. We pray for Harold, Shannon, Anjo, Azim's family, and all others mentioned. We pray for healing, restoration, and a renewed faith in Jesus Christ. We ask that you guide each person, giving them clarity of mind, courage, and a heart that seeks after you. We pray and denounce in Jesus Christ any evil influence or spiritual warfare taking place here explicitly. We thank you for your unfailing love and mercy. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray.
Finally, remember Galatians 6:9 WEB: "Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don't give up."
