Call them family.
To truly call the girls’ family, we must pray for them like they truly are our sisters, daughters, nieces, cousins, etc. We pray differently for our families than we do for other people. We must be offensive about the prayer for them. We are only family to them IF we fight for them.
The girls are in a very real battle. It can and will claim their lives and destinies, unless…
1. We tell the darkness where to go.
2. Pray for their identities in Christ to be revealed. Who does God say they are? Who does God say you are?
3. Pray a decree. It doesn’t matter that we don’t know their names. “This princess is…” pray the Scriptures you know.
4. Your prayers matter more than your position. If we don’t pray, the torment continues.
5. Pray angels for them. Welcome and invite the light of God to invade the darkness. Intentionally ask for the Holy Spirit to be with our girls.
I want your sisters to know they are seen. Every tear shed is captured by the God who is alive. I am the God who sees them, knows them, sings to them, and redeems them. I am the God who is releasing those who have longed to be free. I am the God who is transforming them! I am the God who is healing them! I am the God who is moving at the sound of their cries! I am the God who will be moving heaven and earth to destroy the lies they live under. They are not alone. They are always known. They are my daughters, they are my bride.
They are the children who long to come home. I say welcome home! But, there is a battle to get them there. The battle over their lives and destinies is fierce. I am the God who is holding their hearts close to mine. Pray for their hearts and minds to be protected. I want you to feel their heartbeat in mine.
How beautiful, how lovely, how wonderful I am. How outraged I AM at how alone and unprotected my daughters are. Be the church. Rise up and be their voice. Pray for them!
Will you hold them? Will you love them? Will you fight for them? Will you sing for them? Will you dance for them? Will you love them? Will you care for them? Will you hold the girls who cry over sights only I have seen? Will you laugh with the little girl who delights in Me? Will you feed the one who is starving for TRUTH? Will you honor them for their sacrifice to leave what they know? Will you love them for their bravery? Will you show them that all the paths of life are open to them …just by being you?
I am asking for a heart commitment. Be betrothed to the broken like I am. Pledge your heart to them.
I will release them. I will hold them. I will bathe them. I will redeem them. I will protect them. I will show them all the paths of life!
Everything you do for these girls, you do it for Me! I am so proud of you!
But will you give them your hearts? Do not offer Me a sacrifice that costs you nothing. Be excellent at what I have called you to do; but, do not forget to pray for them!
