A Prayer for SIL, Day 21

On By LindaIn prayersLeave a comment

Lord, I lift up SIL to You tonight as she sleeps. Speak to her in her dreams. Show her the things that she’s resisting in the day so she can open up to Your healing touch in the night. Heal her body so she can focus on the spiritual.

Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. Colossians 3:2

And the man said to me, “Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears and set your heart upon all that I shall show you, for you were brought here in order that I might show it to you… Ezekiel 40:4a

Jesus I pray that SIL will look with her eyes and hear with her ears, and set her heart upon all that You show her. And I pray that You help her to realize that she was brought here in order that You might show it to her.

In Your Healing Touch,

Amen.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 20

Dear Lord, thank You for SIL and what You are doing in her. Thank You for Your promises and for Your desire that all draw near to You. I pray that SIL lets go of what she’s clinging to and cling to You instead.

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and sin which cling so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1

Jesus, I pray that You give her the knowledge and grace to lay aside all that hinders her on this race that You set before her.

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:22-24

Lord, God of peace, sanctify SIL completely, and may her whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the day of Your return. You, who call her, are faithful and You will surely do it.

Lord, hold her close and whisper hope to her as she sleeps.

In Your Peace,

Amen.

Lord, I pray today that You give SIL wisdom and discernment.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. James 1:5

For the wisdom of this world is folly with God. 1 Cor 3:19a

Jesus, reveal to SIL where she is depending on her own wisdom instead of on Yours. I pray that You give her insight to know she needs Your wisdom and will ask for it. And when she does, I pray that You fill her to overflowing so she can begin walking in it. Call her, Lord, out of her head and into Yours.

In Your Wise and Loving Name,

Amen.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 18

Lord, just like turmoil in a pond can stir up the muck and cloud the water, the turmoil in SIL is clouding the water of her heart and mind, preventing her from seeing and keeping her confused. Lead her to be still, to focus on You, so that the muck will separate from the water and fall to the bottom. Then give her the strength, knowledge, and courage to remove the dirt that she can. And I ask that You remove what she can’t.

Like a muddied spring or polluted well are the righteous who give way to the wicked. Proverbs 25:26

Be still and know that I am God. Psalm 46:10a

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Hebrews 10:22

Jesus, I pray that SIL draws close to You with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with her heart sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and her body washed with pure water. Clean her up, Lord. She is Yours.

In Your Cleansing Name,

Amen.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 17

Jesus, hold SIL close to You and speak healing and wisdom to her. She feels alone and lonely. Encourage her to reach out to the women around her for friendship.

Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest council. Proverbs 27:9

Lord, may SIL find things that will make her heart glad – especially the sweetness of a friend who will speak truthfully and wisely to her. Set women in her path to provide companionship and opportunities for fun and service. For it is in serving that we are blessed.

Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and the one who waters will himself be watered. Proverbs 11:25

In Your Encouraging Arms,

Amen.

Lord, I lift up SIL to you this night as she sleeps. Fill her dreams with Your presence, Your wisdom, and Your guidance. Show her the things she needs to know. Work in her heart as You work out the circumstances in her life that have brought her to this point. Comfort her, encourage her, and give her hope that things will not always be this way.

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might. Ephesians 1:17-19

Father of glory, please give SIL the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of You, having the eyes of her heart enlightened, that she may know what is the hope to which You have called her, what are the riches of Your glorious inheritance, and what is the immeasurable greatness of Your power in her life and heart, according to the working of Your great might.

In Your Mighty Name,

Amen.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 15

Lord Jesus, King of kings, reign in SIL’s heart. Call her to Yourself. Call her to yield all of herself to You, to place all that is in her, all that she is, and all she hopes to be into Your hands so You can heal her, restore her, and guide her along good paths.

The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters .He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort m me. Psalm 23:1-4

Lord, I pray that SIL will allow You to be her shepherd so that all needs will be taken care of. I pray that she follows You as You lead her to green pastures, still waters, and paths of righteousness. Give her the courage to walk despite the darkness she is in. Let Your rod and staff comfort her as You lead her into the light.

In Your Shepherding Name,

Amen.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 14

Thank You, Lord, for the work You are doing in SIL. Thank You for revealing it to me when I got discouraged. I pray that SIL continues to hear You and respond. I pray that You continue calling and strengthening her. I pray Your protection over her as she cooperates with You on her healing. Reveal to her the cause of her pain – the injuries or sin she covers up, so she can release them to You.

Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy. Proverbs 28:13

Blessed is the one who transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me, my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Psalm 32:1-5

Lord I pray You bring to light that which is hidden inside SIL.

Have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Matthew 10:26

Give her courage, Lord. Give her the grace she needs to look at herself. It’s hard, Lord, to really look at ourselves. We often don’t like what we see. But we need to from time to time so that we can let go of the bad and allow You to replace it with good. May SIL have the strength she needs to look at the things she needs to let go of or to repent from. May You cover her with Your grace and fill her with Your love.

In Your Merciful Name,

Amen.

Jesus, I can see little signs that You are working in SIL. Thank You. I pray that she will continue to yield to You. Give her the courage to ask You to show her heart to her – that You show her anything in her needing to be addressed.

Prove me, O LORD, and try me, test my heart and my mind. For your steadfast love is before my eyes and I walk in your faithfulness. Psalm 26:2-3

Prove SIL, O Lord, and reveal to her what You find. Test her heart and her mind as You help her to see Your steadfast love for her. May she walk this journey with You, knowing and trusting in Your faithfulness as she goes where you lead her. The path to health, maturity, and freedom is not easy or fun. Lord, I pray she inclines her heart toward it anyway. Hold her fast so she feels Your touch as she takes these hard steps.

In Your Steadfast Love,

Amen.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 12

Lord, I lift up SIL this morning. Fill her with Your love. Open her eyes to the truth in and around her, to the truth found in You. Give her the grace to see and hear, heal her heart, convict her of sin, and free her from her chains. Shield her from the enemy so that she has the time and space she needs to respond to you. Protect her until she learns to use the shield of faith herself.

He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. Psalm 91:4

Jesus, I pray that SIL will allow You to cover her with Your pinions and that she will find refuge under Your wings. May she find that Your faithfulness is a shield and buckler to her.

In the Safety of Your Name,

Amen.
