We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude for the work the Lord is doing in the lives of families, marriages, young ones, and ministers of the Gospel. Your Word reminds us in 1 Corinthians 3:6-7, "I planted. Apollos watered. But God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase." We rejoice in the truth that it is God who causes growth, softens hearts, and opens eyes to His truth. Father, we thank You for the seeds planted in the lives of those we lift before You, and we ask that You continue to send laborers to water those seeds with Your Word and kindness, as Romans 2:4 declares, "Or do you despise the riches of his goodness, forbearance, and patience, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?"
We are encouraged by the promise in Isaiah 55:10-11 that Your Word does not return void but accomplishes what You desire and achieves the purpose for which You sent it. Lord, we pray for the hearts of those who have heard Your Word, especially in recent months. Order their steps, as Psalm 37:23 assures us, "A man’s goings are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way." Just as You guided Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch in Acts 8:26-31, Ananias to Saul in Acts 9:10-11, and the apostles in Acts 16:6-10, we ask that You continue to direct the paths of Your servants to speak truth in love, water the seeds of faith, and demonstrate the relentless kindness of God. Father, we are grateful for Your patience, as 2 Peter 3:9 reminds us, "The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." We pray that all would come to the knowledge of the truth, as 1 Timothy 2:1-4 exhorts us to intercede for all people, that they may be saved.
We stand in awe of the power of Your Word, as Hebrews 4:12 declares, "For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart." Thank You, Lord, that You are always at work, as Jesus said in John 5:17, "My Father is still working, so I am working, too." We are grateful that You are actively protecting and keeping those we pray for—families, young ones, ministers, and fellow servants of Christ—from evil, deception, and the schemes of the evil one. We claim the promise of 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10, that those who receive the love of the truth will be saved from the lies and deceit of this world.
Father, we thank You in advance for the answers to our prayers, as Mark 11:24 assures us, "Therefore I tell you, all things whatever you pray and ask for, believe that you have received them, and you shall have them." We trust in Your faithfulness as a rewarder of those who diligently seek You, as Hebrews 11:6 declares, "Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him." We are confident that the fervent prayers of the righteous avail much and prevail, as James 5:16 tells us, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."
Lord, we praise You for the great and mighty things You are doing, things beyond what we could ask or imagine, as Ephesians 3:20 proclaims, "Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." We thank You for the assurance that every promise in Your Word is "Yes" and "Amen" in Christ Jesus, as 2 Corinthians 1:20 declares. We lift all these prayers in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above all names, through whom we have access to the Father and by whom alone we are saved.
Father, we ask that You continue to strengthen marriages, that they would reflect the covenant love between Christ and His Church, as Ephesians 5:22-33 instructs. Guard the hearts of young ones, that they would grow in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man, as Luke 2:52 describes the growth of Jesus. Equip ministers and servants of Your Word to faithfully steward the mysteries of the Gospel, as 1 Corinthians 4:1-2 commands. May all who are called by Your name walk in holiness, repentance, and obedience to Your Word, forsaking any sin that so easily entangles, including any ungodly relationships or sexual immorality. We rebuke any spirit of rebellion, deception, or unbelief that would hinder the work You desire to do in their lives. May they turn from any path that does not align with Your Word and run wholeheartedly toward the calling You have placed on their lives.
We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, to whom be all glory, honor, and praise, now and forever. Amen.
Continuing Relentless Grace for matrimonial, young descendant, family, ministers today in preparation and preaching, partners & the guiding of others by The Holy Spirit to follow up, speak truth in love and water seeds, as one plants another waters, but it is God that causes growth, 1 Cor 3:6-7... Our Father, we thank You that You are the one who opens eyes, softens hearts and causes growth... 
Father, thank You that the word does not return void, Isa 55:10, Isaiah 55:11, and that seeds have been planted, Mark 4:14, Mark 4:26, Mark 4:27, Mark 4:28, Mark 4:29. Please continue working on my ###'s heart by carrying any work You began on to completion until the day of Christ, Phil 1:6. Continue to bring others into her path to water seeds, speak truth and show the kindness of God, Rom 2:4, and across the paths of all who have heard the word from all time, especially the last several months, since the steps of the righteous are ordered by You, personally, Ps 37:23, as evidenced by the evangelist, Acts 8:26-31, the believer in Acts 9:10-11, and the apostles, Acts 16:6-10. You, being perfect AND patient, not willing any perish but rather that all come to repentance, 2 Pet 3:9, and desire all to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, even using prayer to that ends, 1 Tim 2:1-4.
