We join you in prayer and we hear the deep desires of your heart for blessing, for love, for provision, and for peace in your family and home.
You have claimed Deut 28:13 where it says Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail, and you will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God. We love that you are holding onto the promises of God, and we want to gently remind you of the beautiful context of that verse. In Deut 28:1-2 it says it will happen, if you will diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, to observe to do all his commandments which he commands you today, that Yahweh your God will set you on high above all the nations of the earth and all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you, if you listen to Yahweh your God’s voice. The blessing of being the head and not the tail is not a formula we speak into existence or a power of replicators, but a gracious promise that flows from walking in obedience and humble trust in the Lord. We are not the ones who create reality with our words, God alone is the Creator who spoke all things into being. Our words do have power, as Proverbs 18:21 says Death and life are in the power of the tongue, but we are called to pray according to His will, not to demand or command Him. As 1 John 5:14 says This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And James 4:3 reminds us You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures. So we want to encourage you to move from declaring life into existence 100 fold greatly as if we control God, to humbly seeking first His Kingdom and trusting His perfect provision, as Matthew 6:33 says But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
We also rejoice with you as you pray for a Boaz, a good godly man, and for marriage. We believe marriage is a sacred covenant designed by God between one man and one woman for life, and we strongly endorse your desire for marriage rather than just a relationship. We pray that if you are in a courtship, that it would be pure and centered on Christ with the clear goal of marriage to a fellow believer, and that you would be equally yoked as taught in 2 Cor 6:14. If you are wearing a wedding ring by faith before you are married, we encourage you to walk in truth and patience, trusting God’s timing rather than acting as if you are already married, for God honors honesty and order. We pray for a faithful, kind, provider husband who knows who you are in Christ and who will love you as Christ loved the church, and we pray you will fall in love in a way that honors God and is rooted in commitment, not just emotion. We also pray against jealousy and hatred from others and from the enemy, for James 3:16 says For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed, and Proverbs 14:30 says envy is rottenness to the bones. We rebuke the work of Satan in Jesus name, and we stand on James 4:7 Be subject therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
We lift up your practical needs as well, your desire for a joyful and suitable job, for a $1,000 bonus, for your trailer to be clean and in great condition, for a home through rent to own, and for your businesses to prosper. We pray that God will provide for you according to His riches as Philippians 4:19 says My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We pray for diligence and stewardship in your work, for Colossians 3:23 says Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, and we pray God gives you work that uses your gifts and allows you to provide well while honoring Him.
We pray for your family and your pets, that communication would be healed greatly and that peace would reign in your home. Romans 12:18 says If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. We ask God to soften hearts, to bring forgiveness, and to restore loving communication. We thank God for your love for your pets and ask Him to keep them healthy and happy as part of your family.
We pray together now:
Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious blood and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our only Savior and our access to Your throne. We thank You that You love us and that You desire to bless Your children who walk in obedience to You. We ask that You make our sister the head and not the tail as she diligently seeks You and obeys Your voice, and that You lift her above worry and fear. Forgive us when we try to command You instead of humbly asking according to Your will, and teach us to pray with faith that trusts Your perfect timing and Your perfect answer. Lord, we ask You to bring a godly husband into her life if it is Your will, a true Boaz who is a man of integrity, faith, and love, and we pray for a Christ centered marriage that will glorify You all the days of their lives. Guard her heart from jealousy and protect her from the schemes of the enemy, and let no weapon formed against her prosper. Provide for her daily needs, Lord, open the door for good work that is joyful and honest, provide for her finances and her home, and establish the work of her hands and her businesses for Your glory. Bring healing to her family, restore communication, let forgiveness and grace flow, and bless her household including her beloved pets with peace and health. Help her to be highly favored not by demanding favor, but by humbly abiding in Christ. We cast all our anxiety on You because You care for us, as 1 Peter 5:7 says, and we trust You to answer in Your perfect way. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to trust in the Lord with all your heart as Proverbs 3:5-6 says 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. Keep delighting yourself in Him, and He will give you the desires of your heart as you align your heart with His, as Psalm 37:4 says Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
