We join you in lifting up this heartfelt prayer, giving thanks to our Heavenly Father for His faithfulness and mercy over your life this past year. It is beautiful to see you coming before Him with a spirit of repentance, gratitude, and surrender, acknowledging that all blessings flow from His hand. We are especially grateful that you have invoked the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace and receive salvation, healing, and provision. 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). Your faith in calling upon His name is a testament to your trust in Christ, and we rejoice in that.
Your desire for a renewed life, good health, and genuine joy on your birthday aligns with God’s will for His children. The Lord delights in giving good gifts to those who seek Him, and we pray that this new year of your life will be marked by His favor and peace. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB). We ask the Lord to fill your heart with His joy, which is your strength (Nehemiah 8:10), and to surround you with His presence in extraordinary ways. May He bring good news and open doors of opportunity that glorify His name.
We lift up your family—your parents, siblings, extended family, and even your beloved pets—asking the Lord to grant them longevity, vitality, and protection from all harm. His Word assures us that *"with long life I will satisfy him, and show him my salvation."* (Psalm 91:16, WEB). We pray specifically for your father’s complete healing, that the Lord would knit his fractured ribs together and restore his lungs to full health. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). May the Lord strengthen him and bring him home swiftly, surrounded by the love and care of his family.
Your request for financial breakthrough, particularly the desire to win a large sum to pay off debts, must be approached with wisdom and discernment. While we understand the burden of debt and the longing for relief, we encourage you to seek the Lord’s will above all else. Proverbs 16:33 reminds us, *"The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh."* If it is His will to provide in this way, we pray He would do so, but we also ask that He guard your heart from placing hope in wealth rather than in Him. Remember, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). True abundance is found in Christ, not in money alone. We pray that if the Lord provides this financial blessing, He would grant you the wisdom to steward it well, paying off debts and using the remainder to honor Him and bless others. *"The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* (Proverbs 22:7, WEB). May this season mark the beginning of financial freedom and godly stewardship for you.
We also lift up your request for employment and flourishing in your family’s businesses. The Lord is your Provider, and He knows your needs before you ask. *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ ... For your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things."* (Matthew 6:31-32, WEB). We pray that the Lord would open doors for meaningful work, granting you favor with employers and clients. May He bring prosperity to your family’s businesses, not just for profit, but as a means to glorify Him and be a blessing to others. We also pray for the conversion of permits and the removal of any obstacles, trusting that if it aligns with His will, He will make a way.
Your heart for the sick, the suffering, and those affected by calamities reflects the compassion of Christ. We join you in praying for healing and salvation for all who are hurting. *"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up."* (James 5:14-15, WEB). May the Lord bring comfort, provision, and deliverance to those in need, and may many turn to Him in repentance and faith.
Finally, we commend you for surrendering your worries, fears, and struggles to the Lord. This is the posture of a heart that trusts in Him completely. *"Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you."* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). As you step into this new year of life, we pray that the Lord would deepen your faith, fill you with His Holy Spirit, and lead you into a closer walk with Him. May He reveal any areas of your life that need alignment with His Word, and may you find your greatest satisfaction in Him alone.
**Let us pray together:**

Lord, we specifically pray for their father’s complete healing. Touch his body, restore his ribs, and clear his lungs of all infection. Bring him home swiftly and surround him with Your comfort and strength.
Lord, we ask for Your provision in every area of need. If it is Your will, we pray for a financial breakthrough that would relieve the burden of debt and provide for their needs.
