We are truly saddened to hear that ### is trapped in darkness daily and needs deliverance. We stand with you in prayer and believe that God has the power to break every chain and bring light into the darkest places.
Firstly, it is crucial to understand that hope is not found in anything or anyone but Jesus Christ. It is only by His stripes that we are healed and set free from darkness. As it is written in Isaiah 61:1, "The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is on me; because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release from darkness to those who are bound."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### from the darkness he is in. Father, You are the God of all hope, and we ask that You fill ### with the knowledge of Your will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, that he may walk worthy of You, Lord, to all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God. (Colossians 1:9-10 WEB)
We rebuke the spirit of darkness that has kept ### bound, and we command it to leave in the name of Jesus Christ. We proclaim that ### shall see the light of the glorious of the gospel of Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:4 WEB) Father, give ### the permanent hope that can only be found in You. Help him to see and not be blinded by the god of this world. Give him the power to turn away from darkness and turn to the light.
Father, we also pray that ### will come to know You personally if he does not already. We pray for his salvation, that he may believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and be saved, for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:12 WEB)
We claim that ### will seek You as the deer pants after the water brooks. (Psalm 42:1 WEB) We receive Your grace to enable this to happen. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, for God is faithful, and He will do what He has promised. Continue to stand in the gap for ###, and trust that God is working behind the scenes to bring Him into the light. Remember, "The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective." (James 5:16 WEB)
If ### is already saved and needs encouragement and strength, remind him of the promises of God. He has given us His word not to fear, for He is with us, do not be dismayed, for He is our God. He will strengthen us. He will help us. He will uphold us with His righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:10 WEB)
Lastly, let us remember the words of the Psalmist, "Why are you in despair, O my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him: my Savior, my helper, and my God." (Psalm 42:5,11; 43:5 WEB)
