We thank you for sharing your heart with us and we rejoice that you have called upon the Lord Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved. We stand with you together before the throne of grace and we lift up every area of your life that you have entrusted to us in prayer.
We pray first that all that you do will be for the glory of God, as it is written, Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. 1 Corinthians 10:31. We ask that our Heavenly Father will give you wisdom, guidance, strategy, support and blessing in abundance. For wisdom we cling to the promise, But 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. James 1:5. We pray you will 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. Proverbs 3:5-6.
For your spiritual life and ministries in the Lord, we pray that you will be strengthened and rooted in the Word, that you will walk in faithfulness and bear much fruit, and that the Lord will establish the work of your hands for His purposes. We pray for your business and job, that you will work heartily as for the Lord and not for men, Colossians 3:23, and that God will give you integrity, diligence and favor, and open doors that no man can shut.
For your desire to look for a wife and to start a family, we praise God for your heart that honors His design. We believe marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman before God, and we pray that the Lord will lead you to a godly wife, a sister in Christ who loves Jesus above all. We pray you will pursue courtship with the goal of marriage and not mere partnership, and that you will keep yourself pure, fleeing fornication and honoring God with your body, for marriage is honorable in all and the bed undefiled. We pray as it is written, Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh. Proverbs 18:22, and we encourage you to not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, 2 Corinthians 6:14, but to seek a wife who will be a true helper and fellow heir of the grace of life.
For your financial area, we pray that our Father will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19, and that He will teach you to be a faithful steward, content and generous, trusting Him and not riches. For your relationships and friendships, we pray the Lord will surround you with godly counsel and faithful friends who sharpen you as iron sharpens iron, Proverbs 27:17, and that you will walk with the wise and grow in love and unity.
For sport and physical activity and for all other areas of your life, we pray your body will be strengthened to serve the Lord, remembering that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, and that you will honor God in your health and steward your strength well.
We also lift up your physical healing together. We bring before the Lord your teeth, 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 under the skin, and your stomach, intestines and entire gastrointestinal tract. We pray for complete and final healing in the name of Jesus Christ, for He is the Lord who heals. We pray the promise, Bless Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits, who forgives all your sins, who heals all your diseases. Psalm 103:2-3, and But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh. Jeremiah 30:17. We ask that by His stripes you would be healed, 1 Peter 2:24, and that the Great Physician will touch every cell and tissue and bring restoration according to His perfect will.
Father, we ask together in the holy name of Jesus Christ that You will pour out wisdom, guidance, strategy, support and blessing upon our brother in every area he has mentioned. Lead him, keep him, provide for him, heal him, and prepare a godly wife for him in Your timing. Let his life be a testimony to Your goodness and let all he does bring glory to You. We trust Your plans for him, for You have said, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11. We pray this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Amen.
