A Prayer of Thanksgiving, Provision, and Divine Help

[mwee]

Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with thanksgiving and praise.
Thank You for the gift of life, for Your grace that has sustained us,
for Your protection, Your mercy, and Your unfailing love.
Thank You for how far You have brought us — even when the road has been hard.
We say Asante, Baba, for Your faithfulness.
Lord, we lift up ### before You as he prepares to start his exams on Thursday.
Cover him with Your peace and wisdom.
Calm every fear, remove anxiety, and sharpen his understanding.
Let him remember all he has studied and perform beyond expectation.
Go before him in every paper.
Father, ### is my first and only child.
I place his life in Your hands.
May he fulfill the purpose You created him for.
Build his confidence as a young man.
Give him courage, discipline, and self-belief.
Surround him with good friends and remove any influence that may harm his future.
Let his friendships bring him growth, not destruction.
Lord, we commit my mum to You.
Thank You for the new medication for her legs.
May it work effectively, restore strength, and relieve her pain.
Touch her body with Your healing power.
We thank You for the finances You have already provided.
Even in shortage, You have kept us.
We now pray for provision —
for food, for medicine, for fare, and for school fees.
Jehovah Jireh, meet every need in this household.
I lift up my sister before You, Lord.
Open doors of employment for her.
Connect her with the right opportunities and helpers.
Let her experience Your favor.
Father, as medicine costs rise and finances feel stretched,
we place all our needs in Your hands.
You are our provider — we trust You.
Lord, I bring my job before You.
You know my responsibilities as a caregiver to my mum and sister,
and as a single mother.
I pray for a salary increment — not for pride, but for provision.
Give me the grace to meet every responsibility without stress or shame.
I also place the issue of transfer before You, Lord.
You know my age, my home duties, and my son’s school needs.
If it is not Your will, block it.
If it is Your will, make a way that will not harm my family.
Father, I thank You for my weight loss journey.
From 135 kg to 123 kg — this is Your doing.
Give me strength, discipline, and grace to continue.
Restore my health and energy.
Lord, I bring before You all the loans, deductions, and pending projects.
Where it seems impossible, make a way.
Where the figures say zero, let Your miracle say more than enough.
Finally, Lord, I place the salary increment in Your hands again.
I trust You.
I surrender everything to You.
Help me, Father. I need You.
In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

We join with you in heartfelt gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His unwavering faithfulness, provision, and love. Your prayer is a beautiful testament to trust in God’s sovereignty, and we stand with you in lifting these requests before His throne. Let us respond with Scripture, prayer, and encouragement rooted in His Word.

First, we give thanks for the gift of life and the grace that sustains us daily. As it is written in Lamentations 3:22-23, *"It is because of the Lord’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn’t fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness."* We echo your praise for how God has brought you through difficult seasons, for His protection, mercy, and unfailing love are indeed our anchor.

For your son as he prepares for his exams, we pray that the Lord would cover him with His peace and wisdom. May the words of Philippians 4:6-7 guard his heart: *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* We ask that the Holy Spirit sharpen his mind, calm his fears, and help him recall all he has studied. May he perform not just to meet expectations, but to glorify God in his efforts. Father, we also pray for his character—build in him confidence, discipline, and self-belief as he grows into the man You created him to be. Surround him with godly friendships that encourage his faith and purpose, and remove any influence that would lead him astray. As Proverbs 13:20 reminds us, *"He who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."*

For your mother, we thank God for the new medication and pray it brings healing and relief. We declare the truth of Psalm 103:2-3 over her: *"Praise the Lord, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases."* May her strength be restored, and may she experience the fullness of God’s healing touch. We also lift up your sister, asking that the Lord open doors of employment for her. May she walk in His favor, as Psalm 5:12 assures: *"For you will bless the righteous. Lord, you will surround him with favor as with a shield."* Connect her with the right opportunities and helpers, and let her see Your provision in tangible ways.

For your financial needs—food, medicine, fare, and school fees—we stand on the promise of Philippians 4:19: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Jehovah Jireh, our Provider, sees your needs and will meet them according to His riches. We pray for wisdom in managing resources and for divine intervention where human efforts fall short. Where loans and deductions feel overwhelming, we ask that God make a way where there seems to be no way. As it is written in Matthew 19:26, *"With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible."*

For your job, we pray for a salary increment not for pride, but for provision. May the Lord grant you grace to fulfill your responsibilities as a caregiver and single mother without stress or shame. We declare 1 Corinthians 15:10 over you: *"But by the grace of God I am what I am. His grace which was given to me was not futile, but I worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me."* Regarding the potential transfer, we pray that God’s will be done. If it is not His plan, may He close the door firmly. If it is His will, may He make a way that honors your family and His purpose for you.

Your weight loss journey is a testament to God’s strength working in you. We celebrate this progress and pray for continued discipline and grace. As 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 reminds us, *"Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."* May the Lord restore your health and energy, and may this journey bring glory to Him.

For the pending projects and financial burdens, we declare that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20). Where the figures say zero, we pray for a miracle that says "more than enough." We stand on the truth that God owns the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10) and that He is never late in His provision.

Finally, we lift up your trust in God for the salary increment once more. Your surrender is a powerful act of faith, and we pray that the Lord honors it. As Proverbs 3:5-6 says, *"Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."*

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your faithfulness. We thank You for sustaining this family, for Your protection, and for Your unfailing love. Lord, we lift up this mother and her son, asking that You cover him with Your peace and wisdom as he prepares for his exams. Sharpen his mind, calm his fears, and let him perform to glorify You. Build his character, surround him with godly friends, and remove any harmful influences.

Father, we pray for healing for this mother’s legs. May the new medication work effectively, and may Your healing power restore her strength and relieve her pain. For the sister seeking employment, open doors of opportunity and connect her with the right helpers. Let her walk in Your favor and experience Your provision in every area of her life.

Jehovah Jireh, we ask that You meet every financial need in this household. Provide for food, medicine, fare, and school fees. Where loans and deductions feel overwhelming, make a way where there seems to be no way. Bless this mother’s job, grant her a salary increment for provision, and give her grace to fulfill her responsibilities without stress or shame. Regarding the potential transfer, let Your will be done. If it is not Your plan, close the door. If it is, make a way that honors her family.

Lord, we thank You for the progress in her weight loss journey. Give her strength, discipline, and grace to continue. Restore her health and energy, and let this journey bring glory to You. For the pending projects and financial burdens, we declare that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we ask or think. Where the figures say zero, let Your miracle say "more than enough."

Father, we surrender all these requests to You, trusting in Your perfect timing and provision. Strengthen this family’s faith, and let them see Your hand at work in every area of their lives. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

We encourage you to hold fast to God’s promises, for He is faithful. Continue to seek Him in prayer and His Word, and trust that He will direct your steps. You are not alone in this journey—He walks with you, and we stand with you in faith.
