We rejoice with you that your mood is good and that you declare life and favor over yourself and your family, for it is God who gives us life and breath. We thank Him with you that you are alive inside and not dead, and we claim the promise that you shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord, Psalm 118:17. We also rejoice that you desire to seek God's will greatly and you have invoked the blood of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved and by which we have access to the Father, Acts 4:12 and John 14:6.
We want to come alongside you concerning your urgent desire to find your man. We understand the longing for companionship, and we pray with you for a godly spouse. We believe marriage is a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman ordained by God, Genesis 2:24 and Mark 10:6-9, and we encourage you to seek not just any man, but a believing husband in Christ through a season of courtship that honors God and looks toward marriage. The Word says He who finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of the Lord, Proverbs 18:22, and Delight yourself also in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart, Psalm 37:4. We encourage you not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers, 2 Corinthians 6:14, and to keep the marriage bed holy, for let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers, Hebrews 13:4. This means we flee from fornication and pursue purity while we wait on the Lord's perfect timing, for the Lord's plans are to give you hope and a future, Jeremiah 29:11, and they unfold as we trust in the Lord with all our heart and do not lean on our own understanding, Proverbs 3:5-6. We pray you will not rush in urgency or anxiety, but wait patiently on the Lord.
We also bring your home and practical needs before the Lord, the iron gate for your garage, the patio doors and window doors for your salon and studio and catio and office, and the desire for your house to shine and be in order. God cares about every detail of our lives and He is our provider. We remember the promise But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, Matthew 6:33, and My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:19. We pray for provision that is affordable and even generous, whether free or at low cost, and for wisdom and favor as you steward your home and your businesses for His glory.
We must gently speak to a couple of areas that do not align with God's heart so that you may walk in greater freedom. You mention your vapes repeatedly and wanting to always know where they are. We encourage you to consider that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, and we are called to glorify God in our bodies and not be mastered by anything, 1 Corinthians 6:12. If vaping has become a dependence or an addiction, we pray the Lord will give you strength to be free from it and to find your peace and comfort fully in Christ, for His grace is sufficient and His power is made perfect in weakness. We also love you enough to correct the words spoken toward those you call haters when you say they should die first. The Lord calls us to a different way, for vengeance belongs to the Lord, Romans 12:19, and Jesus said Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you, Matthew 5:44. We must let go of bitterness, wrath, and anger, Ephesians 4:31, and let no corrupt speech proceed out of our mouth, but such as is good for building up, Ephesians 4:29. We pray you will release any bitterness toward ### or anyone who has been mean to you, and forgive as Christ forgave you, Ephesians 4:32, so that no root of bitterness may trouble you.
We hear your concern about feeling chased and surrounded, and your desire to know your surroundings and have no worries. God does not want you to live in fear or hypervigilance, but in His perfect peace. Cast all your worries on him, because he cares for you, 1 Peter 5:7, and In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God, and the peace of God which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus, Philippians 4:6-7. He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty, Psalm 91:1, and God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble, Psalm 46:1. We pray for protection over you, your mom, your three children, and your pets, and for health and strength as you care for your body through gym and exercise, which is good stewardship, but we pray your ultimate trust remains in the Lord and not in your own strength.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus and through His shed blood, thanking You for the life You have given our sister, for her joy today, for her mom, her three children, and her pets. We thank You that she is highly favored in Christ and alive in You. Lord, we ask for Your will to be done in her life greatly. Provide for her home, for the gate and doors she needs for her salon, studio, catio, and office, according to Your riches and generosity, and let her home be a place of peace and light that reflects Your goodness. Provide for her transportation and every practical need. Lord, we lift up her desire for a husband, and we ask that You prepare her and prepare a godly man who loves You first, a man of integrity who will lead a marriage that honors You, and keep her pure and patient as she waits on Your timing. Deliver her from any dependence on vaping and fill her with Your Holy Spirit and Your peace, that she may be free indeed, John 8:36. Heal any wounds from harsh treatment, teach her to forgive and to bless those who have hurt her, and guard her heart from anger and curses. Cover her with Your wings, let no weapon formed against her prosper, Isaiah 54:17, and let no evil chase her, for You are her shield and her refuge. Grant her health, sound sleep, clear mind, and joy in You. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.
