We join you in thanksgiving for the Lord's love, mercy and compassion toward us, for His sacrifice on the cross, and for this opportunity to bear one another's burdens in prayer. We give thanks in everything, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward us as we read in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, and we agree with you in lifting up every request posted here, asking that the Lord would cover each need with His mercy, grace, healing, protecting power, strength, peace and comfort according to His perfect will and timing, for we know in 1 John 5:14 that if we ask anything according to His will He hears us.
We also join you in praying for the lost, that the Father would draw all who are unsaved to the cross, for Jesus said in John 12:32 that if He is lifted up He will draw all people to Himself. We pray that the veil that blinds the minds of the unbelieving as described in 2 Corinthians 4:4 would be lifted, that questions would be answered, that the Lord would grant a sense of urgency for repentance, for He is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance in 2 Peter 3:9, and that many would choose the narrow gate that leads to life as Jesus taught in Matthew 7:13-14.
We bring before the Lord your work and we ask that He would enable you to complete all that is required of you. We pray you would work heartily as for the Lord and not for men as taught in Colossians 3:23, and we ask that He would establish your ways as you commit your works to Him in Proverbs 16:3. We ask for favor with the owner, with all coworkers and clients, for in Proverbs 3:4 we are told that favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man comes as we walk in His ways, and we pray that your workload would be at the right volume, balanced and sustainable, casting all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you in 1 Peter 5:7, and finding rest for your soul even in busy seasons as promised in Matthew 11:28.
We lift up your extended family and ongoing matters within the family. We pray for peace, for agape love, for fairness and for godly wisdom in every decision and in all financial issues. We are reminded in Romans 12:18 to live peaceably with all as far as it depends on us, and in Colossians 3:14 to put on love which is the bond of perfection. We pray the Lord would provide for every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus in Philippians 4:19 and that He would grant you wisdom to steward all resources with integrity, seeking first His Kingdom and righteousness as promised in Matthew 6:33.
We agree with you for a productive week, for safe travel for you and your family, and for deliverance from evil. We claim the promise of Psalm 91:1-2 that he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, and we thank Him for giving His angels charge over us in Psalm 91:11 and for keeping our going out and coming in as spoken of in Psalm 121:8. We pray together as our Lord taught us in Matthew 6:13, deliver us from the evil one, and we rest in the assurance of 2 Thessalonians 3:3 that the Lord is faithful who will establish you and guard you from the evil one, and in 2 Thessalonians 3:2-3 that we may be delivered from unreasonable and evil men.
We thank you for closing your request in the precious name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we have access to the Father and by which we are saved as we see in John 14:6 and Acts 4:12.
We pray together, Father we thank You for Your steadfast love and compassion that never fails, for Your mercy that is new every morning and for the gift of Your Son who bore our sins upon the cross. We ask You to pour out Your grace and healing and protecting power upon every person represented in the requests on this site, grant strength to the weary, peace to the anxious and comfort to the hurting according to Your will. Draw the unsaved by Your Spirit, lift the veil from their eyes, create urgency for repentance and lead them to the narrow path of eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ. Establish the work of our hands, grant favor in the workplace and balance the workload for Your glory. Bring peace and agape love into this extended family, let fairness and righteousness prevail and provide for every financial need. Grant a productive week, keep our families in safe travel and deliver us all from evil, guarding us under the shadow of Your wings. We ask all this with thanksgiving in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
