I KNOW YOU WILL ANSWER

[Sparklee]

Praying in agreement with you for you and your family and loved ones in Jesus Name Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Thank you for bringing these many burdens before the Lord with such honesty and love for your family. I join you in prayer, and I want to assure you first that God does hear you, even in the moments when you feel alone and unheard. He is not indifferent to your life. He is the One who stretched out the heavens, kindled the sun, founded the earth, poured forth the sea and orders the seasons, and He moves all of creation to provide for us, not only for our need but also as a sign of His care. If He so governs the whole world, He certainly sees you, your children, your grandchildren, and your sisters, and He hears the cry you lift in the name of Jesus, who is our only way of salvation.

I pray with you for each need you have named. I ask the Lord to provide work for your grandsons, to guide them into the right direction and to draw them to Himself, that they would seek Him above all else. For those in college and in school, I pray for steadiness, diligence and a mind to stay on the right path, to continue in their studies and in honest work, and to use their strength for health and for good and not for wantonness. For your granddaughter I pray for focus in school and for care in daily life. For your daughters I pray that God would open doors for better work, provide for their rent and daily needs, grant them true happiness in Him, and give wisdom about where to live and how to build a stable home. For your son I pray that the Lord would lead him away from lying and help him to walk in truthfulness and faithfulness, including in paying what is due on time. For your nephew I pray for true success, which is found not in excess but in doing honest work before God. For the money owed to you, I pray for provision for you and for a just and peaceable resolution with your children. And I pray for safe travel for you and your sisters, that God would watch over and guide you on your way home.

In all these requests for financial help and happiness, hear this gracious word of instruction. Scripture teaches us not to be anxious about our interests as if we must carry them alone, but to leave them to God, who provides as God. He calls us to seek first the spiritual things and to trust Him to provide for our daily needs. He does teach us to make provision for the body, but for health and necessity, not to kindle desire or to chase excess. Many things in this present life are like dreams that pass away, but the care of the soul and faithfulness in small things remain. So I encourage you to keep praying for daily bread and for work, and at the same time to pray even more earnestly that you and your whole family would know Christ, walk in His truth, and be roused to live for what is lasting.

You are not alone. The Lord who hears you is near, and He invites you to cast every care on Him. Continue to bring these names before Him each day, give thanks for His mercies, be faithful in what He has entrusted to you, and trust Him to provide in His wisdom and time. May He grant you peace, strengthen your faith, supply what you need, and draw each member of your family closer to Himself.

In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord I pray, Amen.
