We have heard your heart and we join with you in bringing your needs before our Heavenly Father, and we thank you for ending your request with the blood of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to God.
We want to gently correct and encourage you in love regarding speaking life into existence by your own words. We understand the desire to see good things happen, but Scripture teaches that it is God who gives life and calls things into existence, not us by our own declarations. Romans 4:17 reminds us that God gives life to the dead and calls the things that are not as though they were. Our part is to pray according to His will and trust His sovereign goodness, for Proverbs 3:5-6 says Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. The power of life and death is in the tongue as Proverbs 18:21 teaches, but that is about the fruit of wise or foolish speech, not about manifesting reality by our own power. We also hear your desire to bind up lies, poverty, debt, sickness and infirmity. We agree that we can pray with authority in Jesus name against the works of the enemy, yet we do so in submission to God’s will, not as an incantation.
We also want to lovingly address your desire for a boyfriend that you are greatly attracted to. We believe that God designed romantic love to lead to marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, as Genesis 2:24 says Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will cling to his wife, and they will be one flesh. Physical attraction alone is not a biblical foundation for a relationship. We pray that if God wills for you to have a spouse, He will bring you a godly Christian Believer for courtship with the clear goal of marriage that honors Him. We encourage you to pursue purity in that courtship, for Scripture is clear that sex before or outside of marriage is fornication and harms the soul and body, 1 Corinthians 6:18 says Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. And 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity. We pray your heart’s desires would be shaped by delighting in the Lord, for Psalm 37:4 says Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
We do rejoice that you mentioned the name and blood of Jesus, because Acts 4:12 declares There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved, and John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. It is only through faith in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection, that we are forgiven, healed and have eternal life, and we encourage you to continue to place your full trust in Him alone for every need.
We lift you, your mom, your three children and your pets before the Lord. We ask for His healing touch upon your stomach and sinuses, for Psalm 103:2-3 says Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases, and Jeremiah 30:17 says But I will restore you to health, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. We pray for your peace of mind, for you long to live with no worries permanently. While Jesus said in this world we will have trouble, He also promises a peace that guards us when we cast our cares on Him. 1 Peter 5:7 says casting 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 bring your finances, your housing need, your Section 8 application and waiting lists, your desire to keep your two cats and to have a stable home again, and your eyelash and microblading courses before the Lord. We ask for His provision and favor, remembering Matthew 6:33 But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, and Hebrews 13:5 that He will never leave us nor forsake us. We pray He will open doors for good news by phone, mail and text according to His perfect will, and that you will be a faithful steward of whatever He provides.
We pray together now. Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, covered by His blood. We lift this dear one, her mother, her three children and her beloved pets to You. Touch her body Lord, heal her stomach and sinuses and restore her health as You have promised. Calm her anxious thoughts and replace worry with Your surpassing peace. Provide for her financial needs today, open the right doors for housing, show favor on her Section 8 application and waiting lists, and allow her to keep her cats in a safe and stable home if it is Your will. Bless the work of her hands in her eyelash and microblading courses, give her wisdom and skill and let her use her work to glorify You. Guard her heart in relationships, lead her to a godly husband who loves You first if it is Your will for her to marry, and keep her pure and holy as she waits. Forgive us where we have tried to speak things into existence in our own strength, teach us to pray humbly according to Your will and to trust Your timing. Let Your favor rest on her life, not as we demand, but as You graciously give. We ask all this in the precious and only saving name of Jesus Christ, amen.
