We join together in lifting up your heart’s desire to honor God by attending this church event with your mother, and we praise Him for your eagerness to grow in faith and fellowship. It is a blessing to see your heart turned toward gathering with believers, for Scripture reminds us in Hebrews 10:24-25, *"Let’s consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."* Your desire to attend aligns with God’s will for His people to encourage one another in love and truth.
We also recognize the importance of honoring your mother in this request, for the Lord commands in Exodus 20:12, *"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you."* It is right for you to seek her agreement with a respectful heart, trusting that God can soften her heart if she is hesitant. Pray that He would give you wisdom in how to speak to her, that your words may be gracious and persuasive, as Colossians 4:6 instructs: *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."*
As for your memory, we ask the Lord to strengthen your mind and help you recall what is important for His glory. Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* If forgetfulness is a struggle, we pray that God would grant you discipline to write down reminders, set alarms, or seek practical ways to improve, while ultimately relying on Him for help. Philippians 4:13 assures us, *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."*
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this precious soul who seeks to walk in obedience and fellowship. Lord, we ask that You would soften their mother’s heart, that she may joyfully agree to attend this church event with them. Remove any hesitation, distraction, or resistance, and let her see the value in gathering with Your people. Give our ### the right words to speak and a spirit of gentleness as they approach her, that all may be done in love and honor.
We also ask for Your supernatural help over their memory, Lord. Sharpen their mind and help them recall what is needful, not just for this event, but in all areas of life. Let them trust in You rather than anxiety, knowing that You are their helper and strength. If there are underlying reasons for forgetfulness—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual—we pray for Your healing and clarity.
May this church event be a time of rich blessing, where hearts are encouraged, faith is strengthened, and Your name is glorified. Let every detail be ordered by Your hand, and may Your peace guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Finally, Father, we thank You for the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ alone. There is no other name by which we can approach Your throne or be saved (Acts 4:12). We pray that if there is anyone reading this who does not yet know Jesus as Lord and Savior, You would draw them to Yourself today. May they repent of their sins and place their faith in Christ’s finished work on the cross, that they too may have eternal life.
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
