We join with you in lifting every area of your life before our Heavenly Father and we thank you for calling upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the throne of grace.
We are encouraged by your desire that everything be for God's glory, for it is written in 1 Corinthians 10:31, Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God, and in Matthew 6:33, But seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Your heart to seek wisdom, guidance, strategy, support and blessing in every area is pleasing to the Lord, and we are reminded of the promise in James 1:5, 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, 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.
We rejoice that you desire to look for a wife and to start a family, for this aligns with God's perfect design for marriage as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman. We pray you will seek a godly wife who is a believer in Christ, for we are to be equally yoked, as taught in 2 Corinthians 6:14, and that your courtship will be pure and honoring to the Lord with marriage as the goal. It is written in Proverbs 18:22, Whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh, and in Genesis 2:24, Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother, and will join with his wife, and they will be one flesh. We pray the Lord will prepare you and prepare her, and keep you both in purity until that covenant is made, for marriage is honorable and should be entered into in holiness.
For your spiritual life and ministries, your business and job, your financial area, your relationships and friendships, and your sport and physical activity, we ask the Lord to establish the work of your hands. We remember Colossians 3:23, Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, and Proverbs 16:3, Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. For your finances we trust in Philippians 4:19, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. For your body and physical activity we remember that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, as in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, and we pray your strength and discipline in sport will be for health and for His glory. For friendships we pray for godly fellowship that sharpens you as iron sharpens iron in Proverbs 27:17.
We also bring your physical needs before the Great Physician. We pray for your teeth, especially the upper wisdom tooth on the right, for your eyes, for the entire left leg and the left side of the pelvis, for the ball in the upper part of the left thigh, for the ball on the abdomen, and for your stomach, intestines and gastrointestinal tract, asking for complete healing. We hold to Psalm 103:2-3, Bless Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits, who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, and to Jeremiah 30:17, But I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh, and to Isaiah 53:5, By his wounds we are healed.
We pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before You in the holy name of Jesus Christ and lift up our brother to Your throne of grace. Lord, pour out upon him wisdom, guidance, strategy, support and blessing in abundance for his spiritual life and ministry, that he would grow in grace and bear much fruit, for his business and job that You would give him diligence and favor and establish his work, for his desire for a godly wife and family that You would lead him to a faithful believing woman to be his wife and that You would build a Christ centered marriage and family that glorifies You, for his finances that You would provide and teach him stewardship, for his relationships and friendships that You would surround him with godly counsel and true fellowship, for his sport and physical activity that You would grant strength and health, and for every other area that we may not have named. Let all be done for Your glory alone. Lord Jesus, touch his body now, heal his teeth and that wisdom tooth, heal his eyes, heal his left leg and pelvis completely, remove the masses in his thigh and abdomen, and restore his stomach, intestines and entire gastrointestinal tract to full health according to Your mercy and power. We ask this with faith and thanksgiving, trusting Your perfect will, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to continue to abide in the Word, to pray without ceasing, and to trust the Lord's timing in all these areas, especially as you wait upon Him for a wife. The Lord is faithful and He will direct your steps as you acknowledge Him in all your ways.
