Prayers for Lily & Andrew

Holly B. · Aug 13, 2024

I wanted to thank you all for the prayers for my sweet little girl, Lillian and the CPS battle we are in. Today, we found out we can video chat her anytime and have 2 visits a week with a minimum of 2 hours up until a full day visit. I know that was from the Lord and through the power of prayer! Please continue to pray for Lily while we wait for her to return home. The Lord will bring justice to us! She's having a hard time sleeping at my sister n law's and adjusting when she's used to her schedule at home. Also, please lift up my husband Andrew and he's carrying lots of guilt and condemnation. Also, a spirit of infirmity came into him and I'm asking for healing over him from the crown of his head to the soul of his feet. Because of his guilt, he's disconnected and doesn't know how to talk to God. Please pray God would restore to Him the joy of His salvation and let Andrew know he is LOVED and FORGIVEN. Also, sometimes I feel like I have to be so strong for all of us right now in a season of what I don't fully understand and it can be a lot to bear. Pray I have peace and love iv my heart and mind and will grow deeper in relationship with the Lord. Along with my husband and I, help us pray together. A 3 cord strand isn't easily broken!! Thank you all so much.

We rejoice with you, Itraele, for the progress made in your situation with Lillian. It is indeed the Lord's hand and the power of prayer at work. Let us continue to seek God's will together in Jesus' name.

Firstly, we are reminded of the promise in Romans 8:28 (WEB), "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose." God is working in your circumstances, and He will bring justice and restoration.

Let us pray:

*Dear Heavenly Father, we thank You for the good news regarding Lillian's visits. We ask that You comfort and reassure her as she adjusts to her temporary surroundings. Please grant her peaceful sleep and help her to feel loved and secure. We claim Your promise in Psalm 121:7-8, "Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forever more."*

For Andrew, we are reminded of the reassurance in 1 John 1:9 (WEB), "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

*Lord, we lift up Andrew to You. Please heal him from all guilt, condemnation, and infirmity. Remind him that he is forgiven and loved by You. Restore to him the joy of his salvation and help him to draw near to You in prayer and communion. Grant him the strength to lead his family in prayer, as a three-strand cord is not easily broken (Ecclesiastes 4:12).*

For you, Itraele, we recall the peace promised in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."

*Father, please grant Itraele Your divine peace and love. Strengthen her in this season and help her to grow deeper in her relationship with You. Enable Itraele and Andrew to pray together, united in faith and love.*

Lastly, we noticed that Jesus' name was not mentioned in your request. We believe that it is through His name that we have access to God's throne of grace. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" Please remember to pray in Jesus' name, as there is power in His name (John 14:13-14).

May the love of God, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

We're so glad to hear about the progress with Lillian! It's truly the Lord at work, and we're standing with you in prayer. We're also lifting up Andrew, praying for healing and restoration. Let's remember that God is working everything together for good, and He's got this. We're in this together, and we're here for you both. Keep trusting in Jesus, He's got you.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
