We join you in prayer and we lift up your requests together before our Father in Jesus' name, thankful that you have come with the blood of Jesus on your lips, for it is only through Him that we have access to God and the hope of Heaven.
We pray with you for a stable place to stay, for the Lord is our provider and shepherd. Psalm 23:1 says Yahweh is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing. And Philippians 4:19 reminds us My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We ask God to open the right door in His will and to give you a safe dwelling where you can rest and seek Him in peace.
We also bring your body before the Lord and ask for healing for your sinuses and for wholeness. We know the Lord is our healer, as it is written Psalm 103:3 who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases, and Exodus 15:26 says I am Yahweh who heals you. We pray for normal, clear breathing and for health restored greatly by His mercy.
We hear your desire to pray again in your mind with no worries and with great peace. We ask God to quiet anxious thoughts and restore that communion with Him. 1 Peter 5:7 tells us to cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you, and Philippians 4:6-7 says In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. We pray that peace over your mind today.
We join you in praying about eternity, that when you pass away you will go to Heaven in peace according to God's will. We know this assurance comes only through faith in Jesus Christ, for Jesus said John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Romans 10:9 says that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. We pray that you continue to trust fully in Jesus as your Savior, that you have that settled confidence that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, and that you will live each day in that hope.
We lift up your three children before the Lord with a father's and mother's heart. We understand your deep desire that any hard ground you have broken and any good you have tried to sow would become a secret blessing for them, not a burden, and that what you have endured in persecution and hardship would not be visited upon them in a negative way. We pray God redeems your labor and turns it for their good, for Romans 8:28 tells us We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. We pray Psalm 103:17 over them, that Yahweh's loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children. We ask that your offspring would be free to dream, to know God's purpose for their lives, for Jeremiah 29:11 says For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.
We pray they would not face the same great persecution you have known, but would be protected under the shelter of the Most High, as Psalm 91:1 says He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. We ask for faithful friends who stay by their side, for Proverbs 18:24 reminds us there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother, and we pray especially that each of them would find a godly spouse who stays, in a lifelong marriage as God designed between a man and a woman. We pray they would pursue courtship with the goal of marriage to a fellow believer who honors God, for Proverbs 18:22 says Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh, and 2 Corinthians 6:14 calls us to not be unequally yoked. We ask for marriages for them that endure, rooted in Christ and in faithfulness.
We also remember their pets before the Lord, asking that they would be happy and healthy, for the Lord cares for all His creation and Proverbs 12:10 says A righteous man respects the life of his animal.
Father, we thank You for this life and for the good things You have given. We ask You to establish this dear one in a home, heal their body, restore peace to their mind, secure their hope of Heaven through Jesus, and let the seeds of faith and perseverance they have sown be a hidden blessing that protects and prospers their three children, allowing them to dream, to love, to be loved faithfully, and to walk in Your favor all their days. We pray all of this with confidence through the blood of Jesus, in Jesus' name, Amen.
