Dear Lord,
TY for all you have done in our lives. TY that A has had an upbringing in the church, even if she is not following those teachings now (M either). The fact that you have calmed my spirit so much assures me you are already working in their lives. It will no doubt take time, but as long as I have breath + the cognitive capacity to pray, I will keep them + others in prayer. I am trusting you to bring them home, bc you are the Good Shepherd + you will pursue them as long as necessary.
Protect them from false teachings + false prophets-may their messages ring hollow + empty. May they long for the riches of your word + the peace only you can bring. Provide them with a kingdom connection-someone like T-who will gently guide them back to you by influencing them in a very positive, righteous manner.
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, a lot of it is a deception. I pray they will realize this.
Protect them physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally + financially. Protect their livelihood, reputations, credit, personal safety, identities, etc. May they never be deceived. 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.
Besides providing them with a kingdom connection, keep putting people in their path whose faith shines forth so brightly it will attract them. 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 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.
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.
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, + deny the evil ones the victory.
In your holy name, amen.
