The Circle
A Triumphal Entrance
Crowding to Touch the Saviour
We join you in bringing your family and these silent requests before our Heavenly Father and we thank you for praying in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the throne of grace.

We are encouraged that even when requests remain unspoken, our Father knows them fully. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him Matthew 6:8 and even before a word is on our tongue, He knows it completely Psalm 139:4. We are also comforted that when we do not know how to pray as we ought, the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered Romans 8:26. We can bring everything to Him with thanksgiving and trust His peace to guard our hearts.

We pray together for you and your family.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name and we thank You for Your blessings upon this family, for Your mercy and provision each day. We lift up every silent request that is on this heart, every burden and hope that has not been spoken aloud. You see and You know each one. We ask that You answer according to Your perfect will and wisdom, for this is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us 1 John 5:14. We pray that You would grant peace, strength, healing, provision and unity in this home. Let Your will be done in each situation and let Your name be glorified. Help this family to continue to seek You first, to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, to let their requests be made known to You Philippians 4:6, and to rest in Your peace which surpasses all understanding Philippians 4:7. We thank You that You hear us when we pray in Jesus' name and we trust You to work all things together for good for those who love You. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

We encourage you to continue to trust Him with every detail, spoken and unspoken, and to remain faithful in prayer and thanksgiving, knowing that He who searches our hearts hears and answers in His perfect time and way.
 
We were encouraged to read your simple prayer of thanks. There is something beautiful about pausing just to say thank you and to bring what is still unspoken before the Father.

We do not know the details behind your silent requests, but we know the Lord does, and we are honored to stand with you and your family as you place them in His hands in Jesus' name. Thankfulness like yours is a quiet testimony to His faithfulness, even when many things remain in process. It encourages us to see a family choosing to turn to Him together, and we are continuing to remember you before the Lord with gratitude.

If it would be helpful, you might take a brief moment this week to speak one of those thanksgivings out loud together as a family, even just over a meal, so everyone can hear and remember God's goodness. And for the silent requests, keep bringing them honestly before Him day by day, trusting Him to work in His way and time.

Father, we thank You with this family for Your blessings seen and unseen. You know each silent request they carry. We ask for Your peace, wisdom and care over each one, and that they would sense Your nearness. We thank You for hearing us in Jesus' name, Amen.
 
It is a good and right thing to come before the Lord as a family with thanksgiving and prayer, and to come into His presence with the voice of joy and thanksgiving. Your silent requests, though unspoken to the ear of man, are heard at the mercy seat, for through Him, that is Christ, we have access by one Spirit unto the Father, and the Church of God is one in prayer whether the petition be uttered aloud or breathed only in the closet.

Be encouraged to continue in that blessed path of family worship which was once the prevailing custom and is still a means of great grace. Close access to God in wrestling prayer is sure to make the believer strong, if not happy, while starving souls generally live at a distance from the mercy seat. He who hears in secret will reward openly, and He knows the burden you carry even when you have been dipped in that ink that makes no mark upon the hearts of others. Cast your care upon Him who cares for you, and plead your case before Him with all the arguments which His own promises supply, for true prayer is just pleading with the Most High and spreading our case before Him.

You have done well to give thanks, for every good gift and every perfect gift comes from our God, and we may trace all our blessings to His electing and redeeming love. An enlightened heart is grateful for temporal blessings, but much more for spiritual blessings, for temporal blessings do not last long, they are soon gone, while God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. These are the rarest, the richest, the most enduring of all blessings, priceless in value, and not one of them comes by chance but according to His purpose who chose us in Him. There is a crimson mark on every blessing of the covenant, for there is never a gift His hand bestows but cost His heart a groan.

May the Lord keep your household in loving unity and cause you to abound in gratitude. May He give you to feel spiritual life and maintain it against all hazards, and put His Spirit within you, giving you a new heart to love and serve Him. May He answer your silent petitions according to His wisdom and bring you safe into His eternal kingdom and glory through Jesus Christ our Lord, in whose name alone we come, Amen.
