We are joining with you in prayer, ###, seeking God's protection and anointing upon you and your family. We stand on the promises of God's word, which tells us, "For I know the plans I have for you, says Yahweh, plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11 WEB.
Firstly, we notice that Jesus is not mentioned or referenced in this prayer request. We feel led to remind everyone that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God the Father. Jesus Himself said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6 WEB. The Bible also says "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. May we all recognize the importance of Jesus Christ in our prayers and in our lives for our salvation. If you have not already, consider believing and confessing that Jesus is Lord and that He came to earth, died for your sins, and was resurrected on the third day. This is the path to salvation.
Let us pray together,
"Father in heaven, we come before you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, seeking your divine protection and anointing upon ### and their family. We plead the blood of Jesus over them, knowing that there is power in the name of Jesus to break every chain and to set every captive free. Eph 5:20 WEB, Col 3:17 WEB. We rebuke any attempt of the enemy to hinder or harm, reminding you that "no weapon that is formed against you will prevail," Isaiah 54:17 WEB.
We ask that you guide them in the paths of righteousness and keep them from the snares of the wicked one. Psalm 23 WEB. We also pray you remind everyone that if anyone is in Christ that they are a new creation. This does not mean just cleaning up ones' act but turning away from former things such as engaging in pre-marital relationships, is fornication, or having a same sex relationship, which is called homosexuality. Do not deny the gifts and power of the Holy Spirit in ones' life by denying these sins so that they can be forgiven. Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of the mind. Romans 12:2 WEB. Ephesians 5:25-26 says, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it; that he might sanctify it, having cleansed it by the washing of water with the word," Marriage should look like the pure relationship between Christ and His church.
We ask and pray that that you give everyone who may read this, wisdom and understanding. Father, anoint them with the Holy Spirit's power, enabling them to live lives that glorify and honor you in all they do, Jesus said " But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth" Acts 1:8 WEB.
Father, we thank you for hearing our prayers, knowing that when two or more are gathered in Jesus' name, you are in our midst. Matt 18:20 WEB. We ask all these things in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
###, we encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, drawing near to Him, and allowing His light to guide your path. Remember, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB. Be strong and of good courage knowing the greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world 1 John 4:4 WEB.
We are praying with you and for you, believing that God will answer our prayers according to His perfect will. Together, we shall keep spreading the love of Jesus and teachings of God to the ends of the earth.
