A Prayer for SIL, Day 33

On By LindaIn prayersLeave a comment

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.

Jesus, King of hope, I pray that You fill SIL with the hope she needs to see what she needs to see. I pray that as she opens her eyes, she is not filled with despair but with Your love, grace, and mercy.

And everyone who thus hopes in him purifies himself as he is pure. 1 John 3:3

Jesus, as SIL puts her hope in You, may she purify herself as You are pure.

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word. 2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

Jesus, may You Yourself, and God our Father, who loves SIL and gave her eternal comfort and good hope though grace, comfort her heart and establish it in every good work and word.

In Your Comforting Name,

Amen.

Lord Jesus, Master Healer and Friend, be both to SIL. Fill her with Your presence. Restore to her the joy of her salvation. Feed her Your Word and open her eyes, ears, and heart to receive it. Surround her with Your angels to keep the enemy away. And grant her peace as You still her fears of the future.

My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste.
Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off. Proverbs 24:13-14

How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Psalm 119:103

Lord, I pray that SIL eats Your Word, finds wisdom, and rests in Your promise of a future. Let her find Your sweet Word addictive and begin to crave it above all else.

In Your Sweet Name,

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, 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.

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.

A Prayer for SIL, Day 21

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.

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.
