Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up ###'s family and household in prayer. Your Word reminds us in Ephesians 6:12 that "our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Lord, we ask that You remove any strongholds or attacks of spiritual warfare that may be coming against this family. Place a hedge of protection around them and guide them through this storm.
Father, we pray for restoration within this family. Joel 2:25 says, "I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten." We ask that You restore what was lost and broken within ###'s family. Specifically, we lift up the relationship between the parents. Lord, lay Your healing touch upon it, and help them to move forward together in unity. We know that the enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy, but You have come that we may have life and have it to the full (John 10:10). Do not let the devil break this family apart.
We also bring ###'s father before You, Lord. Bring him back to his family and do not let him step out on them or his marriage. Restore him as the man he once was, for the enemy often attacks the head of the household. Help him to turn away from sin and realize his mistakes. Remove any strongholds on him and spirits of temptation and lust. Your Word in 1 Corinthians 10:13 assures us that "No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."
Lord, we pray for the strength and unity of this family. Make them stronger through this trial and help them to get through this storm soon. We trust in Your promises and Your unfailing love.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
