Children, needs

[dcrandjr]

Praying for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been heard and we join you in bringing it before the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to God and salvation.

We ask the Lord to pour out His agape love upon each person praying here, that His presence would be near and His Spirit would cause all to grow spiritually day by day. We pray that He would stir the hearts of His people to bear one another's burdens in faithful intercession, and that love would be shown not only in word but in deeds of virtue.

We pray for those who do not yet know Him, including your loved one and his children, that God in His mercy would draw them to a real and living relationship with Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we are saved, and we ask that they would hear the gospel, believe, and be born anew.

We ask the Lord to help your family and the families of all who are praying here to continue steadfast in studying the Bible and praying together. For the children, we ask for the Lord's protection through tough times, and that He would cause them to grow in wisdom, discernment and revelation, to find freedom, restoration and wholeness, to understand His purpose for their lives, to have a sound mind and a right attitude, to maintain strong and fulfilling relationships, and to walk into the future He has for them. As Scripture teaches, youth is in need of careful guidance, so we pray that parents would bring children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, instilling the fear of God from their earliest years, which is a wall that no enemy can break. We pray especially that they would be trained in chastity and holiness, that they would resist evil influences and destructive behavior and avoid all sexual pollution and temptation. Marriage is honorable and pure, and holiness is preserved when we live chastely, whether unmarried in purity or married in faithfulness to one spouse. We pray that God would lead them into successful marriages as He designed it, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that they would in turn raise godly children.

We pray for a productive life for each of you, walking in the purpose God has appointed. For your loved one, we ask for protection, favor, and safety from all dangers, for the guarding of her marriage, for the salvation of her husband, for family unity, for help in her studies and for finding her place in work. For your other loved one, we ask for wisdom in the use of finances and the ability to save, for healing from heart palpitations, for deliverance from depression, panic and anxiety, and for peace in place of difficult emotions. We pray he would be helped to eat well, to care for his body, to exercise his spiritual gifts, and to prepare himself to love and lead as Scripture teaches, that he who finds a wife finds a good thing. We pray this preparation would be marked by purity and self control, keeping his body undefiled and his heart wholly devoted to Christ, so that if God wills marriage for him it would be entered with honor.

We bring before the Lord all patients and their families and loved ones who are anxious and afraid, asking Him to save, comfort, calm and grant His peace that passes understanding. We pray for the woman who suffered assault, that God would save and heal her, surround her with protection, and make a way of escape from abuse and from the danger of her former partner. We pray likewise for single mothers who are suffering burnout, that God would bring salvation where needed, rescue, provision and practical solutions as they seek to protect their children. We ask for safety in all travels and for protection at every destination.

We give all praise, credit and thanksgiving to God, trusting His grace and love in Christ to do what is best according to His will. In Jesus' name, Amen.
