We join you in prayer for a peaceful and joyful Fourth of July celebration. We pray that God will grant you and your husband a safe trip and a wonderful time together, filled with love, understanding, and kindness. We stand with you in agreement for healing in your marriage, your health, and your relationships.
Firstly, we would like to remind you that it is important to pray in the name of Jesus Christ in all our prayers. For scripture states, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to people by which we must be saved (John 14:6, Acts 4:12 WEB).
We should also note that the Bible instructs us first of all, that petitions, prayers, requests, and thanksgiving be made for all people including kings and those who are in power, that we may live in peace and tranquility in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who desires all people to be saved and come to full knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:1-4 WEB). We will pray for those in authority and our nation as scripture requires.
We pray that God will grant you healing from depression, panic attacks, and anxiety. Remember scripture states, do not be anxious about anything; but in everything by prayer and pleading 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. Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things (Philippians 4:6-8 WEB).
(In case you are taking medications, we encourage you to continue with your treatment plan.)
We pray for healing for your ears. Jesus said, Whoever has ears to hear, let them hear (Mark 4:9 WEB). We pray that God will restore your hearing so that you can hear His Word and listen to others with kindness and compassion.
We also pray for healing for your friend with cancer and for your sisters and rest of families. Jesus said, For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh (Jeremiah 30:17 WEB).
Remember, we all have healing because of the work that Jesus did on the cross. Who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed (1 Peter 2:24 WEB).
Finally, we pray that God will grant you and your husband wisdom and guidance in your marriage. We pray that you will be kind, patient, and loving towards each other, as scripture instructs: Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the assembly, being himself the savior of the body. But as the assembly is subject to Christ, so let the wives also be to their own husbands in everything. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it (Ephesians 5:22-25 WEB).
We pray all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
