We join with you in bringing your heart before the Lord and we thank you for your desire to honor Him, to seek His favor, healing, and provision for yourself, your family and even your pets, for He cares for all His creation.
We hear your passion as you speak of calling life into existence a hundredfold and declaring Deut 28:13 that Yahweh will make you the head, and not the tail. We want to gently encourage you in biblical truth here. Scripture does teach the power of our words and faith, for Death and life are in the power of the tongue, Prov 18:21, and that we should ask in faith, but it also teaches that God is sovereign and His will is supreme, not our declarations. We do not create reality by our words as if they were magic, but we humbly ask according to His will, for This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us, 1 John 5:14. And You ask and donāt receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures, James 4:3. So we pray not demanding that miracles must come through today on our timetable, but trusting His perfect timing and goodness, while we wait with patience and thanksgiving. The blessing in Deut 28:13 was given to Israel under obedience to the law, and in Christ we have even greater spiritual blessings through grace as we walk in obedience to Him, not by repeating a verse as an incantation but by living faithfully before Him.
We rejoice that you are walking to the store and seeing healing naturally and we pray for continued health and strength as you desire to get your gym back in shape and care for your body, for your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God, 1 Cor 6:19-20. We encourage you to continue to be a good steward of the health God has given, with discipline and gratitude, and we pray the Lord will sustain you.
We also lift up your desire for a godly husband, a Boaz who will stay. We affirm your desire for a Jesus-centered marriage and we strongly endorse Godās design for marriage as a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman. We pray you will pursue courtship with the goal of marriage to a fellow believer in Christ, for Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, 2 Cor 6:14, and that you will guard purity before marriage, for God calls us to flee sexual immorality and honor Him with our bodies, Heb 13:4. A true Boaz is a man of character, provision and faithfulness, and a Ruth prepares herself in faith, patience and virtue. We pray the Lord, if it is His will for you to marry, will bring a faithful, godly man who will love you as Christ loved the church and remain committed for life, and that you will trust His timing rather than feeling you must urgently make it happen now. Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart, Psalm 37:4, and But seek first Godās Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, Matt 6:33.
Regarding your desire to move your family closest to Hawaii as possible and your concerns about loud neighbors and those you feel are not in Godās will for your area, we pray for Godās clear direction. We do not pray for a location simply because it is desirable, but that He would lead you where you can best serve Him and be planted in a healthy church community. Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and donāt lean on your own understanding, Prov 3:5-6. We pray for peace in your neighborhood, for protection from harassment, and for a spirit of love even toward difficult neighbors, while also asking God to establish healthy boundaries and quiet where you live. No weapon that is formed against you will prevail, Isa 54:17, and we know that no word curse spoken against a child of God can override His covering when we abide in Christ. Rather than trying to bind people with our words, we pray for protection and for God to move in the hearts of those around you.
We also pray over the practical needs you mentioned, the futon in the garage and organizing your studio salon. God cares about the small details of our lives and He honors diligence, for Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, Col 3:23. We ask Him to give you wisdom, energy and order as you steward your home and work.
We are grateful you mentioned the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him we have access to the Father, for Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me, John 14:6, and 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, Acts 4:12. We rest in that name alone.
So together we pray, Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your will to be done in our sisterās life and family. Pour out Your favor and grace upon her, her family and her pets, heal her body naturally by Your hand, strengthen her as she walks and works to restore her health for Your glory. Grant her wisdom and diligence as she organizes her home and studio salon and provide for every practical need including the futon and garage. Lead her in Your perfect will regarding where to live, whether near Hawaii or where You plant her best, and open doors no man can shut if it is Your plan. Prepare her heart and the heart of a godly husband, a faithful man after Your own heart, for a Christ-centered marriage that honors You for a lifetime if You will it, and help her to wait with purity, patience and hope. Surround her home with Your peace, quiet the disturbance around her, protect her from every evil intent and let no curse or negativity take root, covering her with Your presence. Help her to trust not in declarations alone but in Your sovereign goodness, to pray according to Your will with thanksgiving. We ask all this in the name of Jesus, our only hope and Savior, amen.
