We join you in humbly coming before our Father and we agree with you that our adequacy is not from ourselves but from God, as it is written in 2 Corinthians 3:5, Not that we are sufficient of ourselves, to account anything as from ourselves, but our sufficiency is from God. We thank Him that we can come boldly through Jesus Christ who alone gives us access to the Father, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and we rejoice that you have asked all of this in Jesus' name.
We lift up the work you have before you these next two days caring for people. We pray that the Lord will grant you wisdom, for James 1:5 tells us if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. We ask that whatever you do, you will do it heartily as for the Lord and not for men as Colossians 3:23 teaches, and that your work will truly reflect His agape love and mercy. We pray for rapport and insight, for favor in all meetings with patients, supervisors, staff, colleagues and the owner, and for successful interventions, prepared hearts, and that nothing that needs to be said or done will be forgotten. We ask that the Lord will give you poise, self-assurance balanced with humility, godly assertiveness, deep empathy and true professionalism, and that Proverbs 3:4 will be evident in your life, so you will find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
We pray for a special rapport with every patient today, that you will be given the best interventions to help them and the encouraging and needed words to speak to them in season. We pray for the grieving family you mentioned, that the God of all comfort will grant them strength, unity, and peace that surpasses all understanding as Philippians 4:7 promises, and that His love will cover and overcome all their pain. We ask for His hand of protection over all of you in your travels, for Psalm 121:2 reminds us our help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth, and Psalm 91:11 says He will put His angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways.
We continue to lift up your adult children before the throne. We pray they are favored, protected and kept in times of danger, and that the Lord will be a hedge around them. We especially pray for your daughter, that the Lord will heal her, help her in her work and schooling, and that both she and your son will see themselves as God sees them, fearfully and wonderfully made and deeply loved, for Psalm 139:14 declares we are fearfully and wonderfully made. We pray for your daughter's marriage, that it will be strengthened and reflect the love of Christ for His church. We pray her husband will love her as Christ loved the church as Ephesians 5:25 teaches, with understanding, patience and unconditional acceptance, and that Colossians 3:19 will be lived out, that husbands love your wives, and do not be bitter against them. Give you both wisdom and opportunity to know where and how to support and help without overstepping, and we ask the Lord to close every door that leads to harm and open doors for good opportunities and kind Christian connections for them.
We pray for healing of hearts and broken relationships in your family, that the Lord who makes all things new as Revelation 21:5 declares, Behold, I am making all things new, will bring reconciliation where it honors Him. We pray you will love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength as Deuteronomy 6:5 calls us to, and that you will be empowered to love one another deeply. We ask that the fruit of the Spirit will increase in your home, love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness and self-control as Galatians 5:22-23 describes.
We pray for deliverance from all evil, surrounding you all with His hedge of protection, favor and safe travel according to His promises, for Isaiah 54:17 assures us no weapon that is formed against you will prevail, and 1 John 4:4 reminds us greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world, and 2 Thessalonians 3:3 promises the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. May all glory and praise and credit be given to the Lord alone.
Father, we thank You in advance for Your help, for hearing our prayer, for equipping and sustaining, for healing and protecting, and for causing Your love to overflow through this faithful service. We entrust these next two days, every patient, every meeting, every mile traveled, and every family member into Your merciful hands, in the mighty and precious name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
