Dear Lord,
I still don't know exactly what A believes, only that she no longer seems to know you. It is still hard for me to wrap my head around it. The important thing is that you know, + you have the power to bring healing to this whole situation.
She has said that she does not want to disappoint me, that she needs to be her authentic self. I told her that disappointment is not the right word for how I'm feeling, not that I can describe it all that well. I just want her + M to realize that salvation is at stake, + wherever you end up after death lasts forever. Since you lifted the terrible burden I was feeling initially, that tells me you are working mightily for them. I just must continue to do my part + pray urgently, trusting you.
I am determined to regard their spiritual state as a temporary eclipse, + you will rotate them out of it. I ask that you keep them surrounded by godly people who will reinforce biblical truths, including sending them as many kingdom connections as possible. There are already 2 in their neighborhood; please arrange for them to meet up, become friends, get together often, + help them to see the truth.
Where they live there are a lot of perennial flowers. May they marvel at their intricate design, + realize it has to be your handiwork in creation. And may they consider the miracles that have already been worked in their lives.
Expose the works of darkness for what they are. May anything unbiblical that seems appealing to them now be exposed as well. May they reject all teachings with their origins in darkness, + may their influence on them last but a moment!
May they hear the good news wherever they go. Please open their hearts + fill them with your Holy Spirit. May they realize it is their responsibility to search for the truth + verify it for themselves; this life is the only time they have to do this. May they feel the urgency to investigate instead of just accepting what unbelievers say. May they never let their hearts be hardened + may they never willfully harden them on their own.
Keep them away from dangerous, ungodly people; dangerous situations; protect them from deceiving + being deceived; protect them from accidents, esp. disabling ones; from premature death, esp. in unbelief; from false teachings + false prophets; for accepting what the world declares as true + right, when the world loves breaking your laws; protect their hearts, souls, spirits, minds, bodies; keep them healthy in every way; protect their home, property + finances; shield their reputations, identities, credit, etc.
Protect them esp. from side effects of medications, dangerous medications or medical treatments, malpractice, negligence, etc. Add several extra measures of protection to their cells so they are not altered + they do not get cancer, autoimmune disease, or other horrific outcomes.
Protect my relationship with them so the lines of communication remain open + healthy. Help me to witness by my actions, since she does not want to talk about religion. Give me wisdom on how to speak to them, + help me to always act righteously + in love. May what I say be correctly perceived by her, + never misunderstood, + vice-versa.
Protect their safety, security, finances, reputations, careers, credit, livelihood, etc. Give them a mind + heart that yearns for your truth!
They donโt realize the eternal significance of abandoning the faith. I know no one can come to the Father but by Jesus, + no one can come to Jesus unless the Father draws him. Please pull them to you like a magnet!
Please uproot any weeds choking the truth. Return good soil to the ground. Chase the vultures away.
In your name, amen.
