A Prayer for Rescue, Recovery, and Rebuilding

O gracious God,
You are so mighty,
We can never carry the weight
of the world’s sorrows,
as you do,
but by your grace,
we will not turn away from them.

Bless and soften the hearts of those who
don’t understand our resistance
to the evil substances,
or our fight against the evil forces,
that those who don’t understand
may come to know
where true joy is to be found,
by discovering and following Your word.

It is so hard for us, Lord,
to watch our loved ones
being deceived,
and believing in lies.

It’s especially difficult
living in this world of deception,
when our loved ones seem so far gone
they are not receptive
to hearing the truth.

Grant us the patience
to counsel and help
those who do not yet understand
their injuries, for they have been
deceived.

Lift up our spirits,
With with new energy,
so that we may comfort
our neighbors,
our loved ones,
in the coming time of despair.

We pray that you will open the eyes
of our loved ones,
turn them from darkness to light,
away from the schemes of the evil one.

Unite us in prayer
with all those who look for help,
and use us to come speedily to them,
with the truth,
so that they may be rescued,
and restored,
by the true Savior of the World.

We ask these things in your most holy Name.
Amen. 🙏❤️

On this subject, Lord, we know that Your word promises a remedy:

¹³ When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, ¹⁴ if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 

[2 Chron. 7:13-14, Bible, NKJV]
