God Has Become Our Spiritual Father by Grace by The Washing and Rebirth of The Holy Spirit, Tit 3:4-5, Through Jesus Christ Death, Burial, Resurrection, Tit 3:6-7, Sending The Holy Spirit of Adoption, Gal 4:6... Seeking (Asking for) His Honor, Kingdom, Will; THEN All Our Needs... "Therefore, pray after this manner, 'Our Father in Heaven, Hallowed be Your Name. Your Kingdom come, Your Will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us our daily bread. Forgive our debts, we forgive our debtors. Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one'" Matt 6:9-13, c.f. Matt 6:33, in Jesus' Name.

OUR FAMILIES & WE ARE SAVED, UNDERSTAND YOUR LOVE, WORD & WAYS & HAVE SPIRITUAL HUNGER... Heavenly Father, We ask You give Our families understanding of Your will through Your Word, "The entirety of Your Word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever," Ps 119:160; "From infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. Help us have godly conversations with our family and friends. Soften our hearts and protect us from evil. Help us use our "Bible Apps" or read our Bibles and understand what it says enough to model it and teach it to others in Jesus' Name. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right," 2 Tim 3:15-16. "Do not take us out of the world, but keep us from the evil one," John 17:15. "Sanctify us by the truth; Your Word is truth," John 17:17. Let us crave the pure milk of The Word of God as infants crave milk, 1 Peter 2:2. Thank you in Jesus' Name

We CRY OUT for WISDOM, LIFT our VOICES for UNDERSTANDING, Prov 2:3-4, Prov 2:5-6, Prov 2:7-8, Prov 2:9-10, Prov 2:11-12; Prov 2:16-17. We Thank You for enjoying ANGELIC PROTECTION as promised in The Word, Ps 91:9-10, Ps 91:11-12, Ps 91:13-14, Ps 91:15-16, Heb 1:14., in Jesus' Name

FINANCES & PERSEVERANCE... Please pray we continue to move forward financially. Pray we have faith to look for remote or in-person jobs with salary, benefits or bless us with partial windfalls, monthly supporters and utilization of all funds wisely and fiscally wise stewardship. Grant have in-person and video times with our families and friends and continue to understand the Scriptures, pray, obey and share with others and pray for ourselves and others. We ask for wisdom in medical care enrollment and for operations we need (take care of our physical bodies and needs) -- "Give us our daily bread," "the children's bread." Help us go to the gym, 1 Tim 4:8, eat healthy and continue to endure, Matt 24:13, Rev 2:10, Rev 3:10, Rev 14:12, Dan 12:12. Thank you, in Jesus' Name.

LOCAL REGIONS... We also pray for God's power & protection over our local areas, "But seek the welfare of the city where I have removed you, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare, peace and prosperity you will find yours as well," Jer 29:7. May The Holy Spirit convict our neighbors, the local students, teachers, husbands, wives, the workers that come and go, the fishermen, basketball players, parents, pastors, law enforcement and local leaders -- convict us all of righteousness, sin and judgement to come, John 16:8. Father, draw us to Your Son, John 6:44. Graciously grant us the repentance that leads to life, Acts 11:17, and godly sorrow which brings repentance that leads to salvation, 2 Cor 7:5. Give saving faith in Jesus as a gift, Eph 2:8, by hearing the Word about believing on God's only begotten Son, John 3:16, and may faith come by hearing the word, Rom 10:17. Let us hear about Jesus Christ crucified, 1 Cor 2:2, who was made sin on our behalf, that we may be made the righteousness of God in Christ, 2 Cor 5:21. Grant a wall of fire around our area, protecting it from harm & evil influences, Zechariah 2:5, Ps 91:10-11, John 17:15, 2 Thes 3:2-3. Thank you in Jesus' Name.

We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude for your earnest and scripture-saturated prayer. You have rightly begun by seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, acknowledging that all our needs are met in Him as we align our wills with His. We join you in lifting up these petitions, standing on the promises of God’s Word, and interceding for your family, your community, and your own walk with the Lord.

Father in Heaven, we thank You for the salvation that has come to this family through faith in Your Son, Jesus Christ. We rejoice that they have been born again by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, poured out richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace, they might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life (Titus 3:4-7). We pray that this salvation would not be merely a past event, but a living reality that transforms every area of their lives. May they grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18), and may their love for You deepen as they meditate on Your Word day and night.

We echo your cry for wisdom and understanding, for indeed, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding (Proverbs 9:10). We ask that You would grant them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Christ, that the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened to know the hope of His calling, the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe (Ephesians 1:17-19). May they not lean on their own understanding, but in all their ways acknowledge You, so that You may direct their paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Lord, we lift up their financial needs before You, knowing that You are the God who supplies all our needs according to Your riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19). We ask that You would open doors of opportunity for them—whether through employment, provision, or wise stewardship—so that they may lack no good thing. Give them the perseverance to endure in faith, even when circumstances seem difficult, for he who endures to the end will be saved (Matthew 24:13). Strengthen them to run with patience the race that is set before them, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of their faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).

We also stand with you in praying for your local community, that the light of the Gospel would shine brightly in the darkness. Father, we ask that You would send forth laborers into Your harvest (Matthew 9:38) and that the Holy Spirit would convict hearts of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). Draw many to Yourself, for no one can come to Jesus unless the Father who sent Him draws them (John 6:44). May Your Word go forth and not return to You void, but accomplish what You please and prosper in the thing for which You sent it (Isaiah 55:11). We pray for a wall of fire around your region, that You would be a glory in the midst of it (Zechariah 2:5), protecting it from every evil influence and establishing Your peace.

We must, however, address an area where we sense a need for correction and deeper alignment with Scripture. While your prayer is rich in biblical truth, we notice that there is a subtle but important distinction to be made regarding the nature of our spiritual adoption. You referenced God becoming our "Spiritual Father by grace through the washing and rebirth of the Holy Spirit" (Titus 3:4-5) and the "Spirit of adoption" (Galatians 4:6). While these truths are biblical, we must be careful not to conflate the Fatherhood of God with a generic spiritual fatherhood that diminishes the unique role of God as Father *through* Jesus Christ.

Jesus Himself taught us to pray, "Our Father in heaven" (Matthew 6:9), and He alone is the way to the Father (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). While it is true that God is spiritually our Father through adoption in Christ, we must not allow this truth to be misconstrued in a way that opens the door to false teachings or diminishes the exclusivity of salvation through Jesus alone. The Holy Spirit testifies that we are children of God *through* Christ (Romans 8:15-17), and it is only by His blood that we have been adopted into God’s family.

We also want to gently but firmly address the mention of "the children’s bread" in your prayer regarding medical care. While it is true that Jesus referred to healing as "the children’s bread" (Mark 7:27), we must be careful not to claim promises that were given in a specific historical and redemptive context. Healing is indeed part of the atonement, but it is not always God’s will to heal immediately or in this life. Our ultimate healing is in the resurrection, when this mortal will put on immortality (1 Corinthians 15:53-54). We pray for your physical needs and trust God for provision, but we do so with the understanding that His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9), and His ultimate purpose is to conform us to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29).

Now, let us join together in prayer:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for the gift of salvation that has been freely given to us by grace through faith in Your Son. We ask that You would deepen our understanding of Your Word, that we may not only read it but live it, teaching and modeling it to others as faithful stewards of the mysteries of God.

Lord, we cry out for wisdom and understanding, that we may walk in a manner worthy of Your calling. Fill us with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding, that we may walk worthy of You, fully pleasing You, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God (Colossians 1:9-10). Protect us from the schemes of the evil one, and surround us with Your angels, who are ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14).

Father, we lift up our financial needs to You, trusting that You will supply all our needs according to Your riches in glory. Give us the strength to persevere in faith, knowing that You are our provider and that Your grace is sufficient for us. Help us to be good stewards of all that You entrust to us, using our resources for Your glory and the advancement of Your Kingdom.

We pray for our families and communities, that Your Spirit would move in power, convicting hearts of sin and drawing many to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Let Your Word go forth and accomplish its purpose, and may Your name be hallowed in our midst. We ask for a wall of fire around our regions, that You would be our protection and our glory.

Lord, we surrender our lives to You, asking that You would have Your way in us. May we seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added to us. We pray all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, Amen.

May the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen (Hebrews 13:20-21).
