Let us bring your requests before the Lord, seeking His will and guidance in all things. Remember, it is in the name of Jesus that we have access to God, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Firstly, you mention struggles with the lottery and cigarettes. We must rebuke this, as these activities do not align with biblical principles. Gambling is a form of covetousness, which is idolatry, as stated in Colossians 3:5 WEB "Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry." And smoking harms the body, which is the temple of the Holy Spirit, as stated in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB "Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's." We pray that you find freedom from these struggles in Jesus' name.
Now, let us pray for your requests:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up these requests in the precious name of Jesus. First, we pray for peace and favor over the nights. May You grant restful sleep and wise decisions, and may any monthly troubles be minimized.
We pray for the salvation of those mentioned, that they may come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. We pray for deliverance from struggles with the lottery and cigarettes, that they may turn from these and seek You wholeheartedly.
Lord, we lift up the concern about potential job loss. We pray for Your provision and guidance. May You open up new opportunities and grant wisdom to walk in them. We pray for peace in the home, that Your love and harmony may reign.
We also lift up the need for healing during physical therapy. May Your healing touch be upon them, granting them full recovery and strength and for a job to be provided.
Lord, we pray for excellence and distinction at work. May You grant favor and wisdom, that they may shine as a light in the darkness.
In all these things, we pray that Your will be done, and that You may be glorified.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
May you be encouraged by these words from Romans 8:28 WEB "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Trust in the Lord, for He is faithful to provide and guide you in all things.
