We join you in prayer for this important legal matter and we lift up this paperwork and deadline before the Lord together in Jesus' name.
We know the anxiety that comes with legal deadlines and the desire for justice and provision for those who are most vulnerable. We are reminded to bring everything to God in prayer, as it is written, In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. Phil 4:6. We also take comfort that God is sovereign even over courts and authorities, for The king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires. Prov 21:1, and that all authority is established by Him. Rom 13:1.
We are encouraged by your heart for those who are disabled and suffering from abuse and trauma. This reflects the heart of God who calls us to Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Ps 82:3, and to Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow. Isa 1:17. The Lord sees those who suffer and He is near to the brokenhearted. Ps 34:18.
We pray together now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before Your throne of grace and we lift up this legal paperwork to You. We ask that You grant wisdom, clarity, and diligence to those preparing it, that it may be completed accurately and thoroughly, and that every detail would be in order. We pray that it would be received by the court well before the extended deadline, with no delay, no error, and no hindrance. We ask for favor before the court and for those reviewing it, and we pray that You would move in the hearts of the decision makers to continue to approve the assistance needed for those who are disabled and suffering from the effects of abuse and trauma. Lord, provide for their needs, protect them, and bring healing and restoration where there has been hurt. We pray for Your perfect justice and mercy to prevail, and for Your peace to guard the hearts of all who are waiting on this outcome. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus, our advocate and our hope, amen.
We encourage you to continue to be diligent as unto the Lord in all you do, for Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men. Col 3:23. Trust that even as you do your part faithfully, God is at work behind the scenes. We thank you for standing in the gap for those who are vulnerable, and we trust with you that God who is faithful will see this through according to His good will. Fear not, for He has promised, Don't be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness. Isa 41:10.
