Dear Lord,
TY for calming my spirit. You did not give your people a spirit of fear, but when I first found out about this I was taken aback + not prepared for it. I was also devastated, + began feeling fearful about A + M. It is unimaginable. Most of the burden on my spirit has been lifted, although I still feel the urgency to pray, which I don't want to lose anyway.
I know I can trust you to take care of them in every way, incl. spiritually. Nevertheless, I intend to do my part to battle in prayer against the principalities, the powers, the rulers of the darkness of this age, and the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. You have taught us the truth + told us what we need to do in order to arm ourselves , and in what order we are to put on the armor of God. TY for providing for all our needs, even in this.
Give me great wisdom + discernment on how to handle this matter. I know I need to tread carefully + gently, but w/o wavering. May what they hear never cause them to harden their hearts. I'm thinking that for now, it's best for me to keep loving them + not do or say anything that they might perceive is forcing my beliefs on them. I am counting on you to guide me in this matter. Also, please place strong Christians in their lives that will impress them with their devotion to you. May these people effectively convey many proofs of you being who you say you are. I esp. pray for a kingdom connection- a really strong, influential Christian who will play an active role in returning them to you.
Stir their hearts to long for a return to a relationship with you. May they note the absence of fellowship with you leaves them feeling empty. May your Spirit nudge them often, to seek you diligently + earnestly. May they correctly interpret those nudges.
Let no harm befall them. Spiritual harm is what I ask you protect them from at all costs, but I also ask for a hedge of protection around them to shield them from physical, mental, emotional etc. harm. Tuck them behind my hedge, if theirs is compromised. Send extra angels to protect them.
Protect their safety, security, finances, reputations, credit, livelihood, etc. Give them a mind + heart that yearns for your truth! May the lights of others shine forth so brightly they’ll realize you are God! And may they take responsibility to seek you + to read your word avidly…+ pray to you to reveal yourself to them. Protect them from all false teachings, deceptions, dangerous people, evil people, etc.
May they at least occasionally come to church, + please provide other opportunities for them to hear the word. I pray at least A will be inspired to attend with me, at least for Mother's Day; at those times, may she hear something in the sermon that really opens her spiritual eyes, ears + heart. May she convey the impact it has on her to M. She's more likely to repent first; then him; both just need the right impetus.
I am grateful that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us, teaches us, prays for us, + intervenes in our lives. I am so thankful that righteous angels battle the wicked demons on our behalf, + protect us + our loved ones.
Fill them with a restlessness to seek you. May any false teaching or any appealing deception leave them hollow with longing for your word + a relationship with you. May they realize that nothing else will satisfy their souls' hunger.
Protect them from all forms of evil; from physical harm + abuse; from spiritual harm or abuse; from disabling accidents, injuries, + disease; from premature death, esp. in unbelief; from hardened hearts; from damage to their careers, reputations, or credit; from identity theft or cyber attacks; from damage to their home or property; from damage to our relationship; etc.
TY + praises for what you are already doing.
In your holy name + according to your will, amen.
