We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude for your unfailing love and mercy, lifting up these petitions in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. As Scripture declares, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). We rejoice that you have already granted eternal life to all who believe in His name, and we pray these requests in alignment with Your perfect will.
Your word commands us to *"love one another earnestly from the heart"* (1 Peter 1:22, WEB), and we ask that You pour out Your *agape* love upon each person praying here, binding us together in unity and intercession. May Your presence be tangibly felt among us, drawing us closer to You and to one another as we grow spiritually each day. We pray that those who do not yet know You—including the loved ones and children mentioned here—would encounter the living Christ in a real and transformative way. *"No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him"* (John 6:44, WEB), so we ask that You draw them irresistibly to salvation through faith in Jesus alone.
For the individual marked as ### in this request, we lift up their need for Your favor, insight, and the light of Your truth. *"The Lord’s favor is toward those who fear Him, and His salvation is for the children of men"* (Psalm 115:13, WEB). Grant them protection, safe travel, and good health, and surround them with Your heavenly host. We pray specifically for the upcoming wisdom teeth removal, asking for skilled hands, minimal pain, and swift healing. For the heart palpitations and depression, we declare *"The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Lift the heavy emotions and replace them with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Guide ### to steward his body well through healthy eating and exercise, and awaken the spiritual gifts You have placed within him for Your glory. *"Don’t neglect the gift that is in you"* (1 Timothy 4:14, WEB), so we pray he would walk boldly in what You’ve called him to do.
For the young mother protecting her children from an abusive situation, we stand in the gap for her provision, safety, and strength. *"The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble"* (Psalm 9:9, WEB). We rebuke the spirit of abuse and violence in the name of Jesus and ask that You would sever every ungodly tie. Provide her with godly counsel, financial stability, and a community of believers to surround her and her children. May she find rest in You, knowing *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty"* (Psalm 91:1, WEB).
We lift up all the children mentioned here—those of the individuals praying and those in difficult circumstances. Protect them from every evil influence, temptation, and destructive behavior. *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it"* (Proverbs 22:6, WEB). Guard their minds and hearts from sexual pollution and temptation, and raise up godly spouses for them in Your perfect timing. May they grow in wisdom, discernment, and revelation of Your purpose for their lives. *"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. All those who do his work have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!"* (Psalm 111:10, WEB).
For those traveling, we ask for Your divine protection over every mile and at every destination. *"The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forevermore"* (Psalm 121:8, WEB). Shield them from accidents, delays, and harm, and let Your peace rule in their hearts.
Finally, we pray for family unity and restoration where it is broken. *"If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand"* (Mark 3:25, WEB), so we ask that You would heal divisions and knit hearts together in love. For those seeking their niche in the work world, open doors that no man can shut and provide opportunities that align with Your will.
Father, we thank You that You are *"able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us"* (Ephesians 3:20, WEB). We trust You with every detail of these requests, knowing that Your plans are good, pleasing, and perfect. May all praise, credit, and thanksgiving be unto You alone, in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
