We join together in prayer for all the backsliding children of God, who have experienced brokenness from a young age and are now grappling with fears, guilt, regrets, and shame. We lift them up to our heavenly Father, asking for His divine intervention and healing in their lives.
Let us remember the words of Scripture: "For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh." (Jeremiah 30:17 WEB)
Lord, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your mercy and grace to be poured out on these precious souls. We know that You are a loving and compassionate God, always ready to forgive and restore. We pray that You will remember them, heal them from all their unknown pains, and deliver them from the grip of addictions. Break the chains of their past and set them free, Lord.
We also pray against the evil influences in their lives. As it is written, "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." (James 4:7 WEB) Help them to resist the enemy and to draw near to You, Lord.
We encourage all who are backsliding to turn their hearts back to God. He is faithful and just to forgive their sins and cleanse them from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9 WEB). Remember, there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1 WEB).
Lastly, we remind everyone that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. If anyone's request does not mention this, we urge them to acknowledge Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. For "in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12 WEB)
Father, we ask all these things in the precious name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
