I pray emotional, physical & spiritual protection over my family, friends & loved ones (+ their children, spouses, loved ones, etc.,) including my enemies. Lord, keep evil far from them, and help them look to You as their refuge & strength (in the mountains, as well as the valleys). Please guard their minds from harmful, destructive thoughts; grant them discernment to recognize truth. I pray they lay any (all) hurt, fear, anxiety and trouble at Your feet, so You can go before them! Fill their hearts with happiness, joy & Your immeasurable love. Help them rest & have peace only You can provide! In Your name I ask these things, Amen.

I lift up broken/strained relationships. Lord, please speak to those in need of Your guidance. If it is Your will: please reopen doors, soften hardened (or hurting) hearts & restore/rebuild communication. I pray the hearts (& minds) of those seeking restoration are filled with forgiveness, strength, compassion, courage & LOVE! Heal these relationships as only You can! In Your mighty name I pray, Amen.

I release the grip on anything I'm trying to control. I lay down resistance to trust God's plan (or His timing) & release any feelings of anger, hurt, bitterness or fear weighing down my heart. I humbly and wholeheartedly surrender, Lord. Amen.

God, I lift up my family, friends and loved ones in prayer. I don’t know what they carry each day, or what silent battles they face, but You do! I ask that You meet them where they are. I pray Your love (which covers sins & pushes back hate) would be stronger than any lies the enemy wants to plant in their hearts or minds. I pray they be lead by Your Spirit & Truth, not by temporary emotions. Where there is brokenness, please bring healing. Where there is confusion, please bring clarity. Where there is grief or sorrow, please bring comfort & joy. Please keep them always near to You and bless them as only You can! In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

All the pain, hurt, rejection, depression, sleepless nights, guilt, shame, tears, lost love, strongolds - I let it go, and give it all to You, Father! I love this person (his children and family) so very much, but I've done what I can, I've said all I can. This is not my battle to fight, it is Yours, Lord. I surrender. In Jesus' name. Amen.
