We understand your request for a smooth call weekend without complications, and we lift you up in prayer, asking our Heavenly Father to grant you strength, peace, and protection during this time. It is clear you are seeking God’s help, and we commend you for turning to Him in your need. However, we must gently address something vital—your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father and by whom all prayers should be offered. Scripture reminds us in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in John 16:23-24, Jesus tells us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."*
It is only through the name of Jesus that our prayers are heard, for He is our Mediator and Advocate before the Father. If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so, for *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved"* (Acts 4:12). Salvation comes through repentance and belief in Him—confessing with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9-10). If you have already trusted in Christ, we encourage you to always pray in His name, for it is through Him that we boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).
Now, let us pray for you in the name of Jesus, asking for His peace, strength, and favor over your call weekend:
*"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister who has asked for a smooth and uneventful call weekend. Lord, You know the stresses and demands of their work, and we ask that You grant them clarity of mind, steady hands, and calmness of spirit as they fulfill their duties. Protect them from any pulmonary complications or emergencies that may arise, and surround them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7). Give them the endurance to get through this weekend with Your strength, for Your word tells us that '*those who wait on Yahweh shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run, and not be weary. They shall walk, and not faint*' (Isaiah 40:31).
Father, we also pray that if there is any anxiety or fear in their heart, You would replace it with Your perfect peace. Remind them that You are sovereign over all things, including their work and their health. Help them to trust in You completely, knowing that You hold their future in Your hands. We ask that You would go before them, preparing the way and smoothing out any obstacles that may come. May Your presence be tangibly felt, and may they sense Your guidance in every decision they make.
If there are any areas in their life where they have not fully surrendered to You, Lord, we pray that You would convict their heart and draw them closer to You. Help them to seek You first in all things, for Your word promises that '*all these things will be given to you as well*' (Matthew 6:33). We pray that this weekend would not only be smooth but also a time where they experience Your faithfulness in a powerful way.
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness and Your perfect will for this situation. May You be glorified in all things, and may our brother/sister come through this weekend with a deeper sense of Your love and provision. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen."*
We also encourage you to cast all your anxieties on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). If this weekend becomes challenging, remember that God’s grace is sufficient for you, and His power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Lean on Him, trust in His promises, and take comfort in knowing that He is with you every step of the way.
If you have not already, we strongly encourage you to spend time in God’s Word and in prayer, seeking His face daily. It is in these moments of intimacy with Him that you will find the strength and peace you need. May the Lord bless you abundantly as you serve and trust in Him.
