Favour upon my family and ministry

Disciple of Prayer
I have started a church for about a year now. I need God's grace and favour upon my family and ministry and also want to submit to ### mentoring.
 
We rejoice with you in the work the Lord has called you to do—planting a church is a sacred and weighty calling, and we know that without His favor, our labor is in vain. The Scriptures remind us in **Psalm 127:1**, *"Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain."* Your desire for God’s grace and favor over your family and ministry aligns perfectly with His will, for He delights in establishing His people and expanding His Kingdom through faithful servants like you.

Yet we must also address something critical: you have not invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* Similarly, **Acts 4:12** affirms, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* ###, we urge you to examine your heart—do you know Jesus as your Lord and Savior? Have you surrendered your life, your ministry, and your family to Him? If not, we implore you to repent and place your faith in Christ alone, for without Him, even the noblest works are as filthy rags before God (**Isaiah 64:6**).

As for mentoring, we commend your humility in seeking wisdom, for **Proverbs 11:14** tells us, *"Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls, but in the multitude of counselors there is victory."* However, we must caution you—be discerning in whom you submit to for mentorship. Not all who claim to speak for God do so truthfully. Test every spirit (**1 John 4:1**) and ensure that any mentorship aligns with the uncompromising truth of Scripture. Seek out mature, biblically sound believers who will hold you accountable, encourage you in the faith, and help you shepherd God’s flock with integrity.

Now, let us pray for you, your family, and your ministry in the mighty name of Jesus:

Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother before You, thanking You for the work You have begun in him and through him. Lord, we ask that You pour out Your favor upon his family—strengthen their faith, bind them together in love, and protect them from the schemes of the enemy. May his wife (if he has one) be a crown to him (**Proverbs 12:4**), and may his children (if he has any) rise up and call him blessed (**Proverbs 31:28**). Father, guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus, and let their home be a refuge of Your peace and a beacon of Your light.

For his ministry, Lord, we ask for Your divine grace and anointing. Raise up laborers to join him in the harvest (**Matthew 9:38**), and grant him wisdom to shepherd Your people with humility and boldness. Let this church be a place where Your Word is preached without compromise, where sinners are saved, and where believers are discipled in the full counsel of Your truth. Protect this ministry from false teaching, division, and the snares of pride or worldly influence. May it be a church that glorifies You alone, where Jesus is lifted high, and where the Holy Spirit moves mightily.

Father, we also ask that You provide godly, biblically grounded mentors for our brother—men of integrity who will speak Your truth in love and help him grow in faith and leadership. Give him discernment to recognize Your voice above all others and the courage to stand firm on Your Word, even when it is unpopular.

Finally, Lord, if our brother has not yet fully surrendered to Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, we pray that You would open his eyes to the truth. Draw him to Yourself, convict him of sin, and lead him to repentance and faith in Jesus alone. Let him know the power of the name of Jesus—not just in word, but in spirit and in truth.

We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, to whom belongs all glory, honor, and power, forever and ever. Amen.

###, we encourage you to meditate on **2 Timothy 2:15**, *"Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth."* Stay rooted in Scripture, seek the Lord daily in prayer, and trust that He who called you is faithful and will complete the good work He has started in you (**Philippians 1:6**). Walk in obedience, and may the Lord richly bless you as you serve Him with a pure heart.
 
We're right there with you, brother, as you step out in faith to plant this church. It's an incredible journey, isn't it? Just remember, it's not by our might or power, but by God's Spirit that we see His work accomplished. We're praying for you, your family, and this new ministry, that God's favor would rest heavily upon you all.

We're lifting up your desire for mentoring too. It's wise to seek counsel from mature believers, but be discerning. Make sure their teachings align with God's Word. We're asking God to provide godly mentors who will speak truth in love and help you grow in your faith and leadership.

And hey, don't forget to rest in God's love for you. He's got this, and He's got you. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Trust that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it.

Keep pressing on, brother. We're cheering you on, and we're praying for you in Jesus' mighty name.
 
I prayed that God in Jesus' name will answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God Loves You. Thank You Jesus!!!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.
Matthew 6:33: But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

God, all that I have asked of You, in this prayer, please do the same for the writer of the prayer, all those who love and care about me, and all those I love and care about. God, please forever honor this prayer over each of our lives. God Thank You. Amen, so be it by faith, and by faith, it is so

We’ve been lifting you, your family, and this young ministry before the Lord these past days, standing in faith that His favor would rest upon you in abundant measure. Starting a church is a sacred calling, and we know the weight of shepherding God’s people while also stewarding your own household with wisdom and grace. The enemy may seek to discourage or distract, but we declare that the Lord’s hand of protection and provision is over you—strengthening your steps, opening doors no man can shut, and surrounding you with the mentorship and godly counsel you’ve humbly sought.

If the Lord has already begun to answer—whether through renewed vision, unexpected partnerships, or tangible breakthroughs in your family or ministry—we’d love to rejoice with you! Share your praise report so we can give Him glory together. And if the wait feels heavy or the path still unclear, don’t hesitate to post again. We’re here to keep contending with you in prayer, believing that the God who called you will faithfully equip and sustain you for every good work.

May He grant you fresh anointing as you seek His face, deep unity in your home, and divine connections to seasoned leaders who will speak truth and wisdom into your life. You’re not laboring alone—the body of Christ is standing with you, and our Great Shepherd is leading you every step of the way.

We pray this in Jesus’ name.
