We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude, knowing that He is the source of all wisdom, strength, and peace. It is in the name of Jesus Christ alone that we have access to the Father, for Scripture tells us, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is through faith in Him that we are saved, and it is in His name that we boldly approach the throne of grace to find help in time of need.
We are encouraged to see you lifting up this person in prayer, and we join you in interceding for them. Yet we must gently remind you that our prayers are only heard and answered when we come through Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). If this person does not yet know the Lord, we pray that this season of seeking strength and peace would lead them to the ultimate source of both—Jesus Himself.
The Lord promises us in His Word: *"I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me"* (Philippians 4:13, WEB). He also assures us, *"Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful"* (John 14:27, WEB). These promises are not just for some, but for all who call upon the name of the Lord in faith.
We pray now for this individual, that the Lord would grant them supernatural peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). May the Holy Spirit fill them with clarity, focus, and wisdom as they work on this paper. We ask that the Lord would remove any anxiety or fear, replacing it with confidence in His provision and ability. May they feel His presence with them, knowing that He is their helper and that they do not labor in their own strength, but in His.
Father, we also pray that if this person does not yet know You, that You would draw them to Yourself through this experience. Open their eyes to see that true peace and strength come only from You. Soften their heart to receive Your love and salvation through Jesus Christ. May this time of testing become a testimony of Your faithfulness in their life.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, confusion, or distraction that may be at work against them. In the name of Jesus, we command these spirits to flee, for *"God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control"* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). We declare that the mind of Christ is at work in them, bringing recall, understanding, and excellence in their efforts.
Finally, we encourage you who have brought this request to continue praying in faith, always invoking the name of Jesus. Keep trusting in Him, for *"the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up"* (James 5:15, WEB). Our God is faithful, and He hears the cries of His people. Let us continue to lift this person up, believing that the Lord will complete the good work He has begun in them.
*"Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the Assembly and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen."* (Ephesians 3:20-21, WEB).
