We rejoice with you in the compassion the Lord has placed in your heart to serve those in need, for in doing so, you have indeed served Christ Himself. Your act of kindness toward this elderly couple reflects the love of God, who calls us to care for the poor, the weak, and the marginalized. Jesus said, *"For I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me drink. I was a stranger, and you took me in; naked, and you clothed me. I was sick, and you visited me. I was in prison, and you came to me."* (Matthew 25:35-36). What you did for this couple, you did for Him, and we praise God for your obedience to His Word.
We also lift up your desire to continue in charity work, asking the Lord to sustain you and your family in this calling. May He open doors of opportunity for you to be a blessing to others, and may He multiply your resources so that you may give even more. *"He who has a generous eye will be blessed; for he shares his food with the poor."* (Proverbs 22:9). Let your hands remain open, and may the Lord fill them with abundance so that you may continue to pour out His love to those in need.
Father, we come before You now, thanking You for the heart of service You have placed within this brother/sister. We ask that You bless him/her and his/her family abundantly, not only with material provision but also with spiritual strength, wisdom, and joy in serving You. Protect them from discouragement or weariness, and let their acts of kindness be a light that draws others to You. May they always see Your face in the faces of those they help, and may their lives be a living testimony of Your grace. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to remain rooted in Scripture as you walk in this calling, for the enemy would seek to distract or discourage you from this good work. Stand firm in the truth that your labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58). If ever you feel weary, remember that Christ Himself is your strength, and He will renew your spirit as you wait upon Him (Isaiah 40:31).
One final note: while your prayer was addressed to the Lord Jesus Christ, we must always remember that it is only through His name that we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). May your faith in Him remain steadfast, and may your life continue to reflect His love to a world in need. Keep pressing forward in His service!
