Dear Lord,
I am so thankful you promise to pursue your lost sheep. I know you are pursuing A + M. Stir your Holy Spirit to open their hearts so they will start seeing signs of you everywhere-in your creation, in the miracles of daily life that surround them, etc. May evidence of you pop up everywhere they look, + may nature testify about you to them. May they be in awe of this evidence, + may nothing harden their hearts towards you.
TY for protecting them during the night, when a deranged man broke into a neighbor's garage + several other properties. The man was out in the pouring rain, mumbling gibberish to himself. He cut his hand + left bloody handprints on the neighbor's property. He stole stuff from other neighbors + piled it all into a wheelbarrow. A + M didn't have anything stolen-just their shed was left open + a fire pit knocked over. It could have been much worse! Please keep a hedge of protection around them!
Put more people in their lives who shine your light. May more people witness to them of their faith + may they be accepting of the intent behind it. May it stir their hearts. They need to hear your word; itβs critical. May A decide to return to church with me. She talked about going occasionally with me, but this whole Covid thing has made her afraid. If she could just hear your gospel + if the pastor could say some things that really resonate with her spirit, it might start something. I pray they will be motivated to search for you +/or read apologetics books that present the many proofs of your existence, majesty, power + glory.
This is a spiritual battle + demonic forces are battling for their souls. May your angels defy them at every turn, + may A + M fight back too. If they knew the Bible, they could compare it to what the world teaches, + remember Proverbs 14:12: βThere is a path before each person that seems right, but it ends in death.β
I don't know if your plan for them includes children or not. If so, instead of their current attitude of maybe not baptizing a child or raising it in a church, I pray the opposite happens-that they will feel an urgency not to hinder any little ones from coming to you.
TY that my spirit is so much calmer that it was last week. I can be confident that you are working this out in your own way + time. In the meantime, protect them from premature death; dying in unbelief; accidents, injury or disease, esp. the disabling kind; dangerous + evil people; loss of their livelihoods; reputation or credit damage; deceiving or seducing spirits; false teachings; false prophets; or anything that leads them further from you. Keep them healthy in body + soul. May they not be forced into taking any unwanted medical treatments, + may they thoroughly research any that may be pushed on them.
Send them a kingdom connection- a strong, godly Christian like T who they will be strongly influenced by + who will help lead them back to you.
Protect my relationship with them so the lines of communication remain open + healthy. Help me to witness in a way that does not drive them away. Give me wisdom + discernment on how to speak to them, + help me to always act righteously + in love.
May their souls be restored in full. In your holy name, amen.
