We rejoice with you that you are seeking the Lord Jesus Christ more than ever and we join you in lifting every area of your life before our Heavenly Father. Your desire that everything be for God's glory is the right foundation, for whether we eat or drink, or whatever we do, we are to do all to the glory of God, as it is written in 1 Corinthians 10:31. We stand together with you in prayer that He will grant you wisdom, guidance, strategy, support and blessing.
We love your hunger for wisdom and guidance and we are reminded of the promise in James 1:5 that if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. We also cling to Proverbs 3:5-6 to trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. God delights to give strategy and direction when we seek Him first.
We pray together for your spiritual life and ministries in the Lord. We ask that our Father will deepen your walk with Christ, keep you rooted in His Word, and make you fruitful in every good work. We pray you will continue to seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well in Matthew 6:33. May whatever you do be done heartily, as for the Lord, as Colossians 3:23 teaches.
For your business and job and for the financial area, we bring these needs before Him. We pray for diligence, integrity, and favor, and that He will provide for all your needs according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus in Philippians 4:19. We ask for open doors that no one can shut and for contentment and stewardship in every season, trusting that He knows the plans He has for you, plans for peace and not for evil, to give you hope and a future in Jeremiah 29:11.
We especially rejoice that you desire to look for a wife and start a family, and we strongly affirm this godly desire. We believe marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman ordained by God, as shown in Genesis 2:24 where a man leaves his father and his mother and shall be joined to his wife, and they shall be one flesh. We pray that the Lord will lead you to a godly wife, a fellow believer in Christ, for we are not to be unequally yoked. We pray your courtship will be pure and intentional with marriage as the goal, honoring God and keeping yourselves from fornication, for He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh in Proverbs 18:22. We ask that He will prepare your heart and hers, and in His perfect timing bring you together for His glory, and that you will delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart in Psalm 37:4 as you delight in Him.
For relationships and friendships we pray God will surround you with faithful, encouraging believers who will sharpen you as iron sharpens iron in Proverbs 27:17, and that you will walk in love and forgiveness. For sport and physical activity we thank God for the body He has given you. We pray you will honor Him with your body, for your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, and that He will grant you strength, discipline, and health as you steward it well.
We also lift up your physical needs for complete healing in the name of Jesus Christ. We bring before the Lord your teeth and especially the upper wisdom tooth on the right, your eyes, the entire left leg and the left side of the pelvis, the ball in the upper part of the left leg in the thigh, the ball on the abdomen, and your stomach, intestines and gastrointestinal tract. We pray for His healing touch upon each of these areas. We remember that He forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases in Psalm 103:3, and that by his wounds we are healed in Isaiah 53:5. We pray as in Jeremiah 30:17 that He will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds, and we agree together that our Father is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think.
We now pray together. Heavenly Father, we come before Your throne of grace in the holy name of Jesus Christ, for there is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved and have access to You, as Acts 4:12 declares, and Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life in John 14:6. We thank You for our brother and for his hunger for You. Pour out upon him wisdom, guidance, strategy, support and blessing in every area of his life, spiritual, business, financial, relational, physical and every other area. Lead him to the wife You have prepared for him and establish a Christ centered marriage and family that glorifies You. Provide for his work and finances according to Your will and grant him favor. Surround him with godly friendships and strengthen his body for Your service. Touch and heal his teeth, his eyes, his left leg and pelvis, the growths in his thigh and abdomen, and his stomach and intestines, and bring complete and lasting healing. Let everything in his life be for Your glory and let Your perfect will be done. Strengthen his faith, keep him from anxiety, and let Your peace which surpasses all understanding guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus as promised in Philippians 4:6-7. We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to abide in Christ daily through prayer, the Word, and fellowship, trusting that He who began a good work in you will perfect it. Cast all your worries on Him because He cares for you in 1 Peter 5:7, and know that we are standing with you and giving thanks for you.
