A Prayer for SIL, Day 34

On By LindaIn prayersLeave a comment

Lord, God of Truth, SIL was not disturbed when questioned about taking something that wasn’t hers. She said she didn’t feel bad or even think it was wrong to do so. Was she being honest with me? Does she really believe taking something not her own, however small it was, was okay?

A man of crooked heart does not discover good, and one with a dishonest tongue falls into calamity. Proverbs 17:20

Lord Jesus, is this a factor in the problems SIL is having? If so, convict her heart. Reveal to her the things she needs to repent from. I know she feels bad about herself deep inside. Let this motivate her to seek You, to yield to You, to repent and ask forgiveness from You. Create in her a clean heart, like You did in me.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10

In Your Cleansing Name,

Amen.

Jesus, I know You are working in SIL because Your Word promises that You are. But sometimes I just don’t see it. There’s something in her that pushes me away. I pray against whatever that is. Open SIL’s eyes and heart to see truth. To acknowledge and accept truth. You love her, Lord. You know everything about her. Bring into the open the things that are trying to stay hidden so they can be dealt with. Bring her into good health – good honest health – so she can enjoy life.

Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul. 3 John 1:2

I pray that all may go well with SIL and that she may be in good health as it goes well with her soul.

In Your Healing Hands,

Amen.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 32

Lord Jesus, Master of our lives, I pray that SIL allows You to be master of her life. Continue to work in her. Heal her of the things in her past that are hidden. Bring them to light so that they no longer fester in the dark, so that they no longer lurk in the shadows causing behavior and thoughts she can’t control or doesn’t understand. Show her that her heart cannot be trusted, that only You can be trusted. Turn her thoughts to You throughout the day and into the night. I pray that she increasingly craves Your Word and that nothing will satisfy her over Your Word. Give her peace in the areas she needs it so she will be able to take hard steps with You.

making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding, yes, if you call out for insight and raise your voice for understanding… then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God… so you will walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of the righteous   Provers 2:2, 3, 5, 20

Lord, may SIL make her ear attentive to Your wisdom, and incline her heart to understanding. May she call out for insight regarding her behavior and raise her voice for understanding. May she discover the that fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and find knowledge of You so that she will be able to walk in the way of the good and keep to the paths of righteousness.

In Your Wise Name,

Amen.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 31

Jesus, I don’t know what is happening. SIL has acted more arrogant lately. Is it a defense, a cover-up to the changes You are doing in her? I pray that as You remove things, that Your Spirit fills those areas so nothing evil can enter them. I pray that she doesn’t exchange one evil for another.

When an unclean spirit goes out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when it comes, it finds the house empty, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and dwell there, and the last state of that person is worse than the first. Matthew 12:43-45

Lord, protect SIL from any and all unclean spirits trying to enter her. Free her from any that are already there and fill her with Your Spirit.

In Your Protective Name,

Amen.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 29

Dear Lord, just as You hold Your people in Your heart, hold SIL. Let the love You have for her overflow in her heart and mind.

Therefore thus says the LORD God: Now I will restore the fortunes of Jacob and have mercy on the whole house of Israel, and I will be jealous for my holy name. They shall forget their shame and all the treachery they have practiced against me, when they dwell securely in their land with none to make them afraid, when I have brought them back from the people and gathered them from their enemies’ lands, and through them have vindicated my holiness in the sight of many nations. Ezekiel 39:25-27

Father God, I pray that You restore the riches of Your love in SIL and have mercy on her whole being, and that You will be jealous for her, not for anything she has done but for Your Name’s sake. I pray that SIL forgets her shame and all the sins she has committed against You, just as You did when she repented of them. May she dwell securely in the land You give her as You bring her back from the enemy’s grasp. Vindicate Your holiness in the sight of all who know her and see Your light reflected in her.

In Your Merciful Name,

Amen.

Dear Lord, I know SIL is awake when she should be sleeping. Whatever she’s battling that is keeping her in turmoil, I pray You are right there with her. Let her feel Your presence and to take hope in Your love. Speak words of knowledge and discernment to her so she can see what she had been running from. Heal her from the damage life has done to her, and free her from the lies she believes.

And you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:32

May she know the truth and be set free.

In the Name of the God of Hope,

Amen.

Lord, I pray that You give SIL good sleep tonight. Give her peace and call her mind and heart to You. Let there be sweet companionship between You and her, whether she’s awake or asleep.

My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips when I remember you upon my bed and meditate on you in the watches of the night for you have been my help and in the shadows of you wings I will sing for joy. Psalm63:5-2

Lord, may SIL be satisfied as she meditates on You during the night. May her heart be so full of praise that it bubbles out of her mouth. Show her times when You’ve been her help and keep her under the shadow of Your wings. May she sing for joy at seeing Your hand in her life. And may this joy fill her to overflowing that she will seek to serve people around her in the ways that are pleasing to You.

In Your Communing Love,

Amen.

Lord, I come to you tonight with yet another plea that you heal SIL of all past experiences that left scars, and that you fill her with Your Spirit. Let peace reign over any turmoil that is binding her and causing problem behaviors. Work within her heart and mind. Call her to You. Increase her appetite for Your Word and give her a little push to overcome her inertia.

So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation. 1 Peter 2:1-2

Lord, I pray that You show SIL when she is being deceitful, when she’s holding malice in her heart – even if it’s about someone in her past. And when she’s being a hypocrite. Like a newborn infant, like when she first got saved, I pray she craves pure spiritual milk – Your Word – so she can grown in wisdom and in You.

In Your Light,

Amen.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 24

Lord, tonight I pray for common sense for SIL. Whether she has ever been taught it or not, I ask You to teach her. Convict her when she does something immature and foolish, and when she does something harmful to others. Show her the impact she has on those around her. Open her eyes, Lord, to see outside herself.

Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered. Proverbs 28:26

I pray that SIL will see the need for Your wisdom and start walking in it today.

For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding. Proverbs 2:6

Making your ear attentive to wisdom and inclining your heart to understanding Proverbs 2:2

Lord, may SIL seek and hear the wisdom You give. I pray that she makes her ear attentive to wisdom and inclines her heart to understanding. May she make You her main focus at all times.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 23

Lord, thank You for what You are doing in SIL. You promised to bring into completeness that which you started. I may not ever see her completely healed but I believe You will do as You said You would.

And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6

By which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desires. 2 Peter 1:4

If we are faithless, he remains faithful – for he cannot deny himself. 2 Timothy 2:13

Jesus, may SIL be aware of the precious and great promises you have granted her so that through them she may become partaker of the divine nature, and that she will escape from the corruption that is in her heart and life because of sinful desire – both hers and that of those whose actions caused damage in her.

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you (her) completely, and may your (her) whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:23

In Your Faithful Name,

Amen.
