Wednesday Night Prayer | May 28th, 2025

Family Mountain

This sphere of society includes all families, people who work as counselors, ministers, social workers, educators, government officials that write, approve, and carry out laws that affect the family unit, and those in any aspect of culture that deals with family life. Father, the darkness increases, but we will not fear. Isaiah 41:13 says that you take us by the right hand and tell us not to be afraid because you will help us. We stand on that promise for our families. As You said, greater is He in us than he who is in the world. If you said it, we believe it! Equip us to fight for our families.

We ask for freedom to come to every family that is a part of this church. We pray for complete healing and restoration to sweep through this House. Lord, we ask that in 2025 there will be greater healings in our families than ever before!

1st Prayer Point: Pray for parents and children to have healthy, healed, and Christ centered relationships.

• Lord, we ask that you bring restoration to our families. We ask that you expose, correct, and remove the things that are keeping us divided.

Ephesians 6:4 (HCSB) Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

Hebrews 12:11 (ESV) For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

• Pray that our parents will create an atmosphere of joy that celebrates obedience in their homes, and children will desire to obey and honor their parents because they know obedience pleases God.

Colossians 3:20 (HCSB) Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing in the Lord.

Ephesians 6:1-3 (HCSB) Children, obey your parents in the Lord, because this is right. 2 Honor your father and mother -which is the first commandment with a promise- 3 that it may go well with you and that you may have a long life in the land.

• Pray for relationships between parents and adult children to be restored.

Colossians 3: 12-15 (HCSB) Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, 13 accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so also you must [forgive]. 14 Above all, [put on] love-the perfect bond of unity. 15 And let the peace of the Messiah, to which you were also called in one body, control your hearts. Be thankful.

• Pray for our single parents to be encouraged and full of wisdom. Lord, we ask that you restore hope to any that are dealing with hopelessness. Philippians 4:6-7 (HCSB) Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses every thought, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
• Pray for any extended family members (grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins) who are raising a family member’s child to be encouraged. Pray for them to have the wisdom, support, and the resources they need to parent well.
• Pray for our foster parents. Lord, refresh them with a fresh anointing to continue in this ministry. We ask that you give them wisdom, understanding, resources, and favor.

Matthew 11:28-30 (NKJV) Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

2^nd  Prayer Point: Pray for the marriages at The Crossing.

1 Corinthians 13: 4-8 (MSG) Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have. Love doesn’t strut, Doesn’t have a swelled head, 5 Doesn’t force itself on others, Isn’t always “me first,” Doesn’t fly off the handle, Doesn’t keep score of the sins of others 6 Doesn’t revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, 7 Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end. 8 Love never dies.

• Pray that husbands will love their wives as Christ loves the church.

Pray that husbands will love their wives as their own bodies, nurturing and caring for her and that husbands will cling to the wife of their youth Ephesians 5: 25-33 (HCSB) Husbands, love your wives, just as also Christ loved the church and gave Himself for her, 26 to make her holy, cleansing her in the washing of water by the word. 27 He did this to present the church to Himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but holy and blameless. 28 In the same way, husbands should love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself. 29 For no one ever hates his own flesh, but provides and cares for it, just as Christ does for the church, 30 since we are members of His body. 31 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. 32 This mystery is profound, but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 To sum up, each one of you is to love his wife as himself,

• Pray that wives will respect, honor, and mutually submit to their husbands

• Pray for broken marriages to be restored. Pray against the spirit of divorce.

Mark 10: 7-9 (NKJV)  ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Ephesians 4:31-32 (NKJV) Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. 32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.

• Pray for families that have gone through divorce, that there will be inner healing for everyone involved and that joy and love will return to them.

Psalms 34: 17-18 (MSG) Is anyone crying for help? God is listening, ready to rescue you. 18 If your heart is broken, you’ll find God right there; if you’re kicked in the gut, he’ll help you catch your breath.

1Peter 5:9-11 (MSG) Keep your guard up. You’re not the only ones plunged into these hard times. It’s the same with Christians all over the world.

It won’t be long before this generous God who has great plans for us in Christ – eternal and glorious plans they are! – will have you put together and on your feet for good. 11 He gets the last word; yes, he does.

3^rd Prayer Point: Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are living in singleness right now (widowed, divorced, or never been married).

• Lord let their eyes be fixed on you and their hearts be encouraged. Help them not to grow weary by waiting for your perfect timing.
• Father, we ask that you surround them with Godly men and women that will support them and walk with them on this journey.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 (NKJV) Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (NKJV) Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up.

2 Corinthians 6:14 (NKJV) Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?

• We pray that they will be led by you Holy Spirit as you bring their spouse into their life.

Philippians 4:6-7 (NKJV) Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 3: 17-19 (NIV) so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

4^th Prayer Point: Pray for our children and our Kids Camp, June 9^th-12^th

• Pray that our children will walk in their true identity in Christ as they influence their families, schools, city, state, and nation. They will not be easily persuaded by the world into believing anything other than who God says they are in His Word.

1 Peter 2:9 (HCSB)  But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the One who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.

Psalms 139: 13-14 (HCSB)  For it was You who created my inward parts; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. 14 I will praise You, because I have been remarkably and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, and I know [this] very well.

1 Corinthians 3: 8-9 (HCSB) Now the one who plants and the one who waters are equal, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s co-workers. You are God’s field, God’s building.

Lord, help them see that the strengths they have were given to them for a reason and they can impact this world in incredibly powerful ways.
• On behalf of our children, we bind up and destroy every speculation and lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of Christ and we take captive the thoughts that try to pervert the identity of each child to the obedience of Christ.
