Dear Lord,
TY for the many blessings + miracles you've so graciously provided throughout our lives. May we always be aware of your many blessings + be thankful for them. I so appreciate the opportunity to connect to you in prayer, + that your Spirit intercedes for us as well. There is no excuse for not having a relationship with you!
TY that A + M have had an upbringing in the church, even if they are not following those teachings right now. Awaken their souls + spirits so they will understand why humanistic values + practices can never be sufficient; we all all too woefully sinful.
The fact that you have calmed my spirit so much assures me you are actively working on theirs. I believe this prayer is already answered, although perhaps it will take place at a future time. I am trusting you to bring them back to you.
In the meantime, may all the false teachings they're exposed to be found wanting when they are weighed in the balance. May these counterfeit messages ring as hollow + empty as they are. May they long for the riches of your word + the peace only you can bring. Send them a kingdom connection-someone like T-who will gently guide them back to you by influencing them in a very positive, righteous manner that impresses them mightily.
I look forward to the day they start studying the Bible. They've both been influenced a lot by what the world deems is the correct morality. Unfortunately, most of it is a deception. I pray they will realize this soon.
Protect them physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally + financially. Protect their livelihood, reputations, credit, personal safety, identities, etc. May they never be deceived in any lasting or harmful way. May they test every spirit to see if it comes from God. Keep them away from dangerous people or those who will bring them harm or defraud them. Keep them out of dangerous +/or harmful situations.
Besides providing them with a kingdom connection, keep putting people in their path whose faith shines forth so brightly it will attract them like a magnet. Stir their hearts to seek you diligently + earnestly. Let no harm befall them. Spiritual harm is what I ask you protect them from at all costs, but I pray for a hedge of protection around them, to shield them from every type of harm. May they take responsibility to seek you + to read your word avidly…+ pray to you. May they see reminders of you everywhere they look, + know it is foolish to deny you are who you say you are.
Bless my relationship with them. May nothing interfere with it, even if we disagree. May we be forthright with one another, always respecting the other's opinion. May she not get defensive, prickly or irritated; may she not close her mind to your word (M either).
Help me to discern what is the right amt. of witnessing to do. I don’t want to drive them away or annoy them, but I still want to drop gospel seeds here + there. May Your Spirit guide me + give me wisdom + discernment. May they be confident that my love for them is unconditional. I want to find the right resources to give them that provide proof of the Bible's authenticity, but I want them to receive it willingly.
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, + please deny the evil ones the victory. Protect them from forced +/or harmful medical treatments; from medical negligence or malpractice.
In your holy name, amen.
