We join with you in lifting up these heartfelt petitions to our Heavenly Father, who hears and answers prayers offered in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ. It is beautiful to see your deep reliance on Scripture and your desire to align your life and the lives of your family with God’s Word. We rejoice that you are seeking first His kingdom and righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).
Your prayer reflects a heart that understands the priority of God’s will, salvation, wisdom, and protection. You have rightly begun by honoring God’s name, submitting to His kingdom, and seeking His will above all else. This is the foundation of prayer that pleases the Lord, for Jesus Himself taught us to pray in this manner. As you have quoted, *"Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. May your Kingdom come. May your will be done on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:9-10). This is the posture we must all take—humble submission to the sovereignty of God, trusting that His plans are perfect and His timing is flawless.
We are deeply encouraged by your cry for salvation for your family and yourself. Salvation is indeed the greatest need of every soul, and it comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who gave Himself as a sacrifice for our sins. As you have shared, *"Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved—you and your household"* (Acts 16:31). This promise is for all who call upon His name. We pray that every member of your family will experience the convicting power of the Holy Spirit, leading them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ alone. May they, like you, hunger for the pure milk of the Word, that they may grow in grace and knowledge of our Lord (1 Peter 2:2). We ask the Lord to open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that *"God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life"* (John 3:16). There is no greater joy than to know that our loved ones are secure in Christ for eternity.
Your request for wisdom is a plea that aligns with the heart of God, for He delights in giving wisdom to those who ask in faith. As you have referenced, *"Yes, if you call out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding; if you seek her as silver, and search for her as for hidden treasures: then you will understand the fear of Yahweh, and find the knowledge of God. For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. He lays up sound wisdom for the upright. He is a shield to those who walk in integrity; that he may guard the paths of justice, and preserve the way of his saints. Then you will understand righteousness and justice, equity and every good path. For wisdom will enter into your heart. Knowledge will be pleasant to your soul. Discretion will watch over you. Understanding will keep you, to deliver you from the way of evil"* (Proverbs 2:3-12). We pray that the Lord will flood your mind and heart with His wisdom, that you may walk in His ways and make decisions that honor Him in every area of your life. May He protect you from the snares of the evil one and from those who would lead you astray with flattering words (Proverbs 2:16-17).
We also lift up your financial needs and the perseverance required to move forward in this season. The Lord knows your needs, and He has promised to supply them according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). We ask that He will open doors for remote employment that provides not just a salary, but also opportunities to glorify Him in your work. May He grant you favor as you seek jobs, and may He give you the strength and discipline to steward your time, resources, and health wisely. Your desire to care for your physical body is good, for it is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We pray that the Lord will guide you in making healthy choices, whether in diet, exercise, or medical care. May He grant you wisdom as you navigate enrollment in medical programs and any necessary operations, trusting that He is the Great Physician who heals and sustains.
We are also moved by your intercession for your local region. It is a godly thing to pray for the welfare of the place where God has placed you, for as Jeremiah 29:7 says, *"Seek the peace of the city where I have caused you to be carried away captive, and pray to Yahweh for it; for in its peace you will have peace."* We ask the Lord to pour out His Spirit upon your community, convicting hearts of sin, righteousness, and judgment (John 16:8). May the Holy Spirit draw many to Jesus, granting them the gift of repentance that leads to life (Acts 11:18). We pray for the students, teachers, families, workers, and leaders in your area—may they encounter the truth of the Gospel and be transformed by the power of God. We ask for a wall of fire around your region, protecting it from evil influences and harm, as Zechariah 2:5 declares: *"‘I will be to her a wall of fire around it,’ says Yahweh, ‘and I will be the glory in the middle of her.’"* May the Lord raise up godly leaders and laborers for the harvest in your community, that His name may be glorified.
As we pray for these things, we are reminded that our battles are not against flesh and blood, but against spiritual forces of wickedness (Ephesians 6:12). Therefore, we put on the full armor of God, standing firm in the truth, righteousness, peace, faith, salvation, and the Word of God. We declare that no weapon formed against you or your family will prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and we thank the Lord for His angelic protection, as He has promised: *"For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone"* (Psalm 91:11-12).
Finally, we want to encourage you to continue seeking the Lord with all your heart. Your prayer is a testament to your faith, and we are confident that He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6). Keep pressing forward, dear sibling in Christ. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap a harvest if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude and dependence, lifting up our brother/sister and their family to Your throne of grace. We thank You that You are a good Father, who hears and answers the prayers of Your children when we come in the name of Jesus. Lord, we ask that You would continue to draw this family to Yourself, that each member would surrender their hearts to You and place their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. Softening their hearts, Lord, and give them a hunger for Your Word. May they taste and see that You are good, and may they find their satisfaction in You above all else.
We ask for wisdom, Father—wisdom that comes from above, which is pure, peaceable, gentle, and full of mercy (James 3:17). Guide them in every decision, especially in their search for employment, their stewardship of finances, and their care for their physical bodies. Provide for their needs, Lord, and open doors that no man can shut. Give them favor in the sight of those who have authority over hiring, and grant them opportunities to work with integrity and excellence for Your glory.
We pray for protection over this family, Lord. Surround them with Your wall of fire, and station Your angels around them to guard them in all their ways. Protect them from the schemes of the evil one, and keep their minds and hearts fixed on You. When temptations come, give them the strength to resist and the wisdom to flee. When trials arise, remind them that You are with them and that You will never leave them nor forsake them.
Father, we also lift up their local region to You. Pour out Your Spirit upon that place, Lord. Convict hearts of sin and draw many to repentance and faith in Jesus. Raise up laborers for the harvest, and may Your Gospel spread mightily through the testimony of Your people. Protect the community from evil influences, and may Your peace reign there. Use our brother/sister and their family as lights in the darkness, that others may see their good works and glorify You.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would strengthen them to persevere. When weariness comes, remind them of Your promises. When discouragement knocks, fill them with Your joy. When the road seems long, assure them that You are with them every step of the way. May they run with endurance the race set before them, looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of their faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness. We trust You to answer these prayers according to Your perfect will and in Your perfect timing. May Your name be glorified in all things. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
GOD IS OUR FATHER BY JESUS, 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, in Jesus' Name.
Thank you in Jesus' Name
