We rejoice with you in your thanksgiving and we hear your heart crying out for blessing, favor, and joy for yourself, your family, and even your pets, and we join you in bringing all of these desires before the Lord.
We thank God that you are looking to Him and claiming His promise in Deut 28:13 that the Lord will make you the head, and not the tail, and you will be above only, and you will not be beneath, if you listen to the commandments of the Lord your God. We want to gently encourage you in how you understand that verse, because that promise was given to Israel with a condition of obedience, and for us today it reminds us that true blessing flows from walking in obedience and humility before God, not from simply speaking or loosening a verse over ourselves. Our words do matter, for Prov 18:21 tells us death and life are in the power of the tongue, but we do not create reality by our declarations. Rather we humbly trust our sovereign Father who gives every good gift, for James 1:17 says every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights. There is no bad luck or good luck with the Lord, only His providence and mercy, and Romans 8:28 assures us that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.
We also hear your joy in being highly favored and wanting to be a queen, flawless, and seeing your dreams come true, and we gently remind you that our true favor and identity are found in Christ alone. We are not flawless in ourselves, but we are made righteous through Jesus, and 1 Sam 16:7 reminds us that man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. Your auburn hair is a beautiful part of how God made you, and while caring for your appearance is fine, the blood of Jesus is not to be used as a charm or dye, but is the holy and precious blood shed on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, as 1 Peter 1:18-19 teaches that we were redeemed not with corruptible things, but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish, the blood of Christ. It is by that blood we have salvation and access to the Father.
We are encouraged that you are praying for your Boaz, and we pray with you for a godly marriage. We believe marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman designed by God, and we pray that if the Lord wills you to marry, He will bring you a faithful Christian husband who will love you as Christ loved the church as shown in Eph 5:25. We encourage you to pursue courtship with the goal of marriage to a fellow believer, guarding purity, for Heb 13:4 says let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. This means we save sexual intimacy for marriage alone, and we seek a spouse, not merely a partner or a person, in a way that honors God.
We also lift up your desires for your home and your bed and breakfast with framed AI pictures franchise, your investment and investor, your beautiful vehicle, and your family relationships. We pray you will seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness as Matt 6:33 teaches, and then all these things will be added to you according to His will. Psalm 37:4 says delight yourself also in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart, which means when our delight is in Him, our desires become aligned with His. We pray your business will be built on honesty, diligence, and integrity, and that any investor the Lord brings will be upright and fair, for Prov 11:1 says a false balance is an abomination to the Lord, but accurate weights are his delight. We pray for peace in your family, that any hatred or division would be healed by love and forgiveness, for Col 3:13-14 calls us to bear with one another and forgive as the Lord forgave us, putting on love which is the bond of perfection.
We join together in prayer for you now.
Father, we thank You for this dear one, for her life, her family, her cats, and for the joy she feels that a difficult season is over. We thank You for Your mercy that has kept her. We ask in the name of Jesus Christ that You would deepen her faith to trust not in declarations or luck, but in Your sovereign goodness and Your Word. Wash her in the blood of Jesus for salvation and make her heart whole. Provide for her according to Your perfect will, guide her steps regarding her home and business and franchise, provide a godly investor if it is Your will, and protect her and her family and pets. If it is Your will for her to marry, bring her a godly husband, a true Boaz who loves You and will lead his home well, and keep her pure as she waits. Let her find her worth not in being flawless outwardly but in being Your beloved daughter, and let her dreams be shaped by Your plans, for Jer 29:11 says You know the thoughts that You think toward us, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give us hope and a future. Help her to walk as the head in Christ through obedience, humility, and trust in You. We ask all of this in the mighty and only saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.
