We lift up Elress and their family situation to You, Lord Jesus. We come before You in the name of Jesus, knowing that You have the power to bring healing, restoration, and deliverance. Your Word says in Matthew 18:19, "Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven." So, we stand together in agreement, asking for Your intervention in this family's life.
Father, we ask that You would intervene in Elress' father's heart and mind. We pray that You would break the chains of violence, abuse, and greed that have taken hold of him. We ask that You would convict him of his actions and bring him to a place of repentance and transformation. Your Word says in Ezekiel 36:26, "And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh." We believe that You can change hearts and bring about true change in this situation.
Lord, we also pray for protection over Elress, their mother, and their siblings. Shield them from any harm or danger that may come their way. Your Word assures us in Psalm 91:4, "He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler." We ask that You would surround them with Your divine protection and provide a way of escape from this abusive environment.
We pray for divine wisdom and guidance for Elress and their family as they navigate this difficult situation. Give them discernment to make the right decisions and lead them to the resources and support they need. Your Word promises in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him." We trust that You will guide them every step of the way.
Finally, Lord, we ask for freedom and peace to reign in their home. We pray that You would remove all evil energy and bad influences from their space. Fill their home with Your presence, love, and harmony. Your Word declares in John 8:36, "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." We claim this promise for Elress and their family, believing that You can bring about a complete transformation in their circumstances.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
