We join you in lifting up your heartfelt requests before the Lord, and we are grateful you have included the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is by His name alone that we are saved, and it is in His name that we boldly pray.
First, we praise God with you for your desire to seek His provision for your daughters. For your eldest, we pray that the Lord will open doors of opportunity for steady and honorable work, that she may find favor in the sight of employers and be blessed with a job that not only meets her needs but also allows her to flourish in her gifts. *"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). May she walk in diligence and integrity, knowing that *"the hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the lazy ends up in forced labor"* (Proverbs 12:24, WEB). For your younger daughter, we ask the Lord to grant her focus, wisdom, and understanding in her studies. May she be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom, that she may walk worthily of the Lord, *"bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God"* (Colossians 1:10, WEB).
Regarding your prayer for a home, we lift this need before the Father, who knows your desires even before you ask. We pray that He will provide a dwelling place that is safe, peaceful, and filled with His presence—a home where His name is honored and where your family can grow in love and unity. *"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB). May this home be a place of rest, provision, and blessing, where the Lord’s peace reigns. We also ask that the Lord will grant you a steady and sufficient income, not just to meet your needs but to be a blessing to others as well. Remember that *"my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB). Trust in His timing, for He is faithful and will provide as you seek His Kingdom first.
For your marriage, we pray for a renewal of love, strength, and calmness. Marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and we ask that He would bind your hearts together in unity, patience, and selfless love. *"Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly and gave himself up for it"* (Ephesians 5:22-25, WEB). May your marriage reflect the love of Christ and the Church, where both of you submit to one another in reverence for Christ. If there are areas of strife or tension, we pray for healing and restoration, that you may *"be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you"* (Ephesians 4:32, WEB).
Regarding your weight, we pray that the Lord will guide you in stewardship over your body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit. *"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"* (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, WEB). May He grant you discipline, wisdom in your choices, and health that honors Him. We ask that this goal be achieved not out of vanity but for the glory of God, that you may have strength and vitality to serve Him fully.
Finally, we stand with you in praying for protection over your family. *"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust’"* (Psalm 91:1-2, WEB). May the Lord be your shield and strong tower, guarding you against every scheme of the enemy. We also rejoice with you in your repentance, for *"if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness"* (1 John 1:9, WEB). Walk in the freedom of His forgiveness, knowing that His mercies are new every morning.
