We join with you in lifting up this day to the Lord, giving thanks for His unfailing love and the opportunity to serve others in a way that reflects His agape love. It is beautiful to see your heart’s desire to honor Him in all you do, seeking His favor and wisdom in your work, interactions, and travels. We are also grateful that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and receive the promises of His Word. As Scripture declares, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me"* (John 14:6, WEB), and *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). Your faith in calling upon His name is a testament to your trust in His sovereignty, and we rejoice with you in this.
Your request resonates deeply with the call to serve with excellence and love, just as Colossians 3:23-24 reminds us: *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."* This is a powerful truth—when we labor with integrity, empathy, and professionalism, we are ultimately serving Him. We pray that the Lord grants you the poise, self-assurance, and assertiveness you seek, rooted not in self but in the confidence that comes from knowing you are His ambassador. May your words be seasoned with grace, bringing encouragement and healing to those you care for, just as Proverbs 16:24 tells us, *"Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones."*
We also lift up your adult children before the Lord, asking that He surround them with His favor and protection. The Scriptures you’ve referenced are a mighty foundation for this prayer—Psalm 91 assures us that *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty"* (Psalm 91:1, WEB), and Isaiah 54:17 declares that *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail."* We stand on these promises with you, asking the Lord to shut every door that would lead to harm and to open doors of opportunity, godly connections, and blessings that align with His will. May they walk in wisdom, discernment, and the protection of the Most High, just as you’ve prayed.
As for the evil that seeks to surround us, we take refuge in the truth of 1 John 4:4: *"You are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world."* Let this be your confidence—that the Spirit of God within you is greater than any scheme of the enemy. We also claim 2 Thessalonians 3:3 over you and your family: *"But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one."* May His hedge of protection be impenetrable, His favor undeniable, and His presence ever near.
Now, let us pray together over these requests:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for this day and for the privilege of serving others in Your name. We ask that You anoint every effort, every word, and every interaction so that they reflect Your agape love and bring glory to Your name. Grant success in the interventions planned today, Lord, and prepare the hearts of those receiving care to be open to Your healing touch. May favor rest upon our sister in her work—with patients, supervisors, colleagues, staff, and the owner of her workplace. Let her performance be marked by poise, professionalism, and the empathy that comes from Your Spirit. Protect her travels, Lord, and keep her safe from all harm.
We lift up her adult children to You, Father. Surround them with Your angels, as Psalm 91:11 promises, and command Your protection over their lives. Close every door that would lead to danger or harm, and open doors of opportunity, godly relationships, and blessings that align with Your perfect will. May they walk in Your favor and be a light in this world, drawing others to You.
Lord, we ask for Your deliverance from every evil scheme of the enemy. Surround this family with Your hedge of protection, as You have promised in Your Word. Let no weapon formed against them prosper, and may Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness and for the victory we have in Jesus’ name. May all glory, praise, and credit be given to You alone, for You are worthy. We ask these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
