50 MFM DELIVERANCE PRAYER POINTS FOR DIVINE RESTORATION OF LOST FAMILY TIME AND PURPOSE
1. PRAYER FOCUS
Theme: Divine Restoration of Lost Family Time and Purpose
This prayer programme focuses on seeking God for restoration concerning lost opportunities, wasted seasons, broken family plans, neglected responsibilities, abandoned legitimate goals, damaged relationships, delayed development and time that cannot literally be recovered.
Biblical restoration does not necessarily mean that every past moment will physically return. It means asking God to redeem what remains, restore what can be restored, heal what has been damaged, recover legitimate opportunities where possible, and give the family wisdom to use the present season well.
We are praying for:
- Restoration of legitimate family purpose.
- Recovery from wasted seasons.
- Renewal of family relationships.
- Restoration of healthy communication.
- Recovery of neglected responsibilities.
- Restoration of courage and focus.
- Grace to rebuild what was damaged.
- Wisdom to steward remaining time.
- Strength to complete legitimate assignments.
- Fresh direction for the next season.
2. BIBLE EXHORTATION
Joel 2:25 declares:
“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten…”
This is a powerful declaration of God’s ability to bring restoration after seasons of loss.
However, restoration does not mean pretending that nothing happened.
David experienced consequences from some of his decisions.
The prodigal son lost time and resources, but he eventually returned home.
Nehemiah encountered broken walls, yet he led a rebuilding process.
Peter failed Jesus, but after restoration he received a renewed assignment.
These examples teach us that failure, delay and loss do not have to become the final chapter.
God can give new beginnings.
God can restore relationships.
God can restore purpose.
God can restore courage.
God can restore discipline.
God can restore opportunities.
God can give wisdom to redeem the time that remains.
Ephesians 5:15–16 says:
“See then that ye walk circumspectly… Redeeming the time…”
Therefore, our prayer is not simply:
“Lord, give me back yesterday.”
We also pray:
“Lord, help me use today wisely and prepare for tomorrow.”
3. PROPHETIC ILLUSTRATION
Imagine a farmer who discovers that part of his field has been neglected.
The farmer cannot physically make yesterday’s season return.
But he can:
- clear the field,
- repair the soil,
- plant again,
- seek better knowledge,
- remove what damaged the previous harvest,
- and steward the new season more wisely.
The same principle applies to family restoration.
Some moments cannot literally be replayed.
But God can help a family rebuild, recover, reconnect, relearn, restart and redirect.
The prophetic picture is:
The family is moving from regret to restoration, from wasted time to purposeful stewardship, from broken plans to renewed direction, and from discouragement to hope.
