We rejoice with you in the truth of Joel 2:25, where the Lord declares, *"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you."* What a beautiful promise of restoration and hope! We give thanks for the faithfulness of God, who never abandons His children but works all things together for good for those who love Him (Romans 8:28).
Your prayer is filled with gratitude and praise, and we join our hearts with yours in worshiping the Father. However, we must gently remind you that our access to God and the power of prayer comes only through the name of **Jesus Christ**, our Lord and Savior. There is no other name under heaven by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). While you mention "Jesus name" and "Jesus name of Nazareth," we encourage you to center your prayers explicitly in the finished work of Christ, for it is through His blood alone that we are reconciled to the Father (Ephesians 2:13). Let us always approach the throne of grace with confidence, knowing that Jesus is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5).
We also lift up a prayer of thanksgiving and intercession for you and all God’s children:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of praise, thanking You for Your goodness, mercy, and unfailing love. We thank You for the promise of restoration in Joel 2:25 and for the assurance that You are working all things for our good. Lord, we ask that You would bless this dear one with a week filled with Your presence, joy, and peace. May their life be a testament to Your glory, and may they walk in the fullness of Your Spirit each day. Father, we pray that You would draw us all closer to You, that we would seek Your face continually, and that our lives would reflect the love and truth of Jesus Christ. Help us to pray always in His mighty name, for it is only through Him that we have access to You. Strengthen our faith, Lord, and let our worship be pleasing in Your sight. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.*
May the Lord bless you abundantly this week, and may you continue to grow in the knowledge and love of Christ. Let us always remember that our praise and worship are not just for our benefit but are offerings to the One who deserves all honor, glory, and power forever and ever. Keep pressing into God’s Word, for it is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105). If there are specific areas in your life where you need restoration or guidance, we are here to stand with you in prayer and encouragement.
