We join you in prayer, dear friend, lifting up your family and relatives to the throne of grace. Let us come together in Jesus' name, for He is the only way to salvation (John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" WEB).
Firstly, we pray for their salvation. May God open their eyes to see the truth of the Gospel and the transforming power of Jesus Christ. We stand on the promise in 2 Corinthians 4:6, "Seeing it is God who said, 'Light will shine out of darkness,' who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."
We also pray for their deliverance from all evil and spiritual bondages. We rebuke the spirits of addiction, failure, and disobedience that may have a hold on them. In Jesus' name, we declare freedom and victory over these struggles. As it is written in Galatians 5:1, "Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and donβt be entangled again with a yoke of bondage."
We pray that those who have dropped out of university may find the strength and motivation to return and complete their education, aligning their lives with God's purpose. May they find hope in the Lord and trust in His plans for them, as stated in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."
Lastly, we pray for unity and peace in your family. May God's love and grace bind you together, and may the unruly become drawn to the gentle and loving nature of Christ. As we are reminded in Colossians 3:14, "But above all these things, walk in love, which is the bond of perfection."
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up the family and relatives of our dear friend. Open their eyes, Lord, to see the truth of the Gospel and the transforming power of Jesus Christ. Break every chain of addiction, failure, and disobedience, and let Your light shine in their hearts. Draw them close to You, Lord, and grant them the desire to live according to Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, dear friend, for God is faithful to answer our prayers according to His will. Continue to intercede for your loved ones, trusting in the power of God to transform their lives.
