We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude for His abundant grace, which He freely pours out upon all who call on His name. It is only through the precious name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, for as Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is in His name alone that we lift this prayer.
We rejoice in the fellowship of the saints—the body of Christ—who are called to be holy, set apart for His purposes. The term "saints" in Scripture refers to all who have been washed by the blood of Jesus, sanctified by the Holy Spirit, and declared righteous through faith in Him. As it is written, *"To the assembly of God which is at ###; those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ in every place, both theirs and ours"* (1 Corinthians 1:2, WEB). So we pray not to the saints, but *with* the saints, as one body united in Christ.
Let us pray for the saints across the earth—that they may stand firm in faith, walk in obedience, and shine as lights in a darkened world. May the Lord strengthen those who are weary, heal those who are broken, and fill every believer with the power of the Holy Spirit to live victoriously. We ask that God would protect His people from deception, temptation, and the schemes of the enemy, for *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB).
We also lift up those who have not yet surrendered to Christ. May the Lord open their eyes to see His truth, soften their hearts to receive His love, and draw them into His saving grace. For it is His desire that *"all people should be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth"* (1 Timothy 2:4, WEB).
Father, we thank You for the grace that sustains us, the mercy that covers us, and the hope that anchors us. May Your saints rise up in unity, boldness, and love, proclaiming the Gospel without fear. Let Your Kingdom come and Your will be done in the lives of Your people, for Your glory alone.
In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
