We join you in humbly lifting these needs before the Father, giving thanks that you have anchored your request in the truth of 2 Corinthians 3:5 that not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God. We agree together that all adequacy, wisdom, and strength for the work ahead comes from Him alone and we give Him all glory and praise and credit.
We pray together for the next two days of caring for people. We ask the Lord to grant you rapport and insight, that your work would reflect His agape love and mercy. We pray that whatever you do, you will work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men as taught in Colossians 3:23, and that the favor of the Lord our God would be upon you and establish the work of your hands as promised in Psalm 90:17. We ask for wisdom liberally given as in James 1:5, for favor in all meetings, for successful interventions, for prepared hearts in those you serve, and that nothing would be forgotten. We ask for the mind of Christ and for words that are encouraging and needed, seasoned with grace, and for you to walk with poise, self assurance, assertiveness, empathy and professionalism, all rooted in humility and love.
We lift before the Lord your patients, supervisors, staff, colleagues and owner, asking for special rapport and favor with each one. We pray that each patient would receive the best interventions to truly help them, and that the Lord would give you discerning eyes and a listening heart. We pray for the grieving family you mentioned, that the God of all comfort who comforts us in all our affliction according to 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 would draw near to them, for Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit in Psalm 34:18. We ask for His power in their unity, for comfort and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding to guard their hearts and thoughts in Christ Jesus in Philippians 4:7, and that love would cover all and overcome all, for love covers a multitude of sins in 1 Peter 4:8.
We join you in asking for protection in all travels, claiming the promises that Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more in Psalm 121:8 and that He will put His angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways in Psalm 91:11. We also continue to lift your adult children, asking that they would be favored, protected in times of danger, and kept from harm. We pray for your daughter for healing in body and heart, for help in her work and schooling, and that both she and your son would see themselves as God sees them, fearfully and wonderfully made in Psalm 139:14, chosen and dearly loved in Colossians 3:12.
We pray for your daughter's marriage, that God would strengthen and sanctify it. We pray her husband would grow in understanding, patience and sacrificial love, to love his wife even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it in Ephesians 5:25, and to live with her according to knowledge in 1 Peter 3:7. We pray that both would accept and cherish one another, bear with one another in love, and be bound together with the bond of perfectness. We ask for wisdom and opportunity for you to know where and how to support and help without overstepping, trusting the Lord to guide your steps.
We agree in prayer that the Lord would close the doors that lead to harm and open doors for good opportunities and kind Christian connections, for He opens and no one shuts in Revelation 3:8. We ask Him to heal hearts and broken relationships, for He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds in Psalm 147:3. We pray that your whole household would love the Lord with all heart, soul, mind and strength in Mark 12:30 and be empowered to love one another deeply from the heart.
We pray for an increase of the fruit of the Spirit in your home, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness and self control in Galatians 5:22-23. We ask for deliverance from all evil, surrounding you all with His hedge of protection, favor and safe travel according to His promises that no weapon that is formed against you will prevail in Isaiah 54:17, that greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world in 1 John 4:4, and that the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one in 2 Thessalonians 3:3. We rejoice that He who sits on the throne says, Behold, I am making all things new in Revelation 21:5, and we trust Him to make new what is broken and to keep what is entrusted to Him.
Father, we thank You in advance for Your help, for hearing us in Jesus' name. We ask all these things according to Your will, trusting Your mercy, Your wisdom and Your unfailing love to accomplish what is best. Amen.
