We join together with you in prayer and we thank you for sharing your heart with us. We hear your deep desire to be blessed, to be happy, to see your family, your children, your mother and even your pets well cared for and at peace, and we hear your thankfulness for the blood of Jesus which is the true source of every blessing.
We want to lovingly and gently bring some biblical correction to the way this request is framed, because we care about you walking in truth. Scripture teaches that it is God who calls things that are not as though they were, not us. Romans 4:17 reminds us that it is God who gives life to the dead and calls the things that are not as though they were. We do not create reality by speaking things into existence or by declaring a hundred fold increase. Jesus taught us to pray, Your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth, Matthew 6:10, and James 4:15 says we ought to say, If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that. Our words do not force God's hand, and faith is not a formula to obtain mansions or castles. Jesus said, A man's life does not consist of the abundance of the things which he possesses, Luke 12:15.
We also hear your longing for extraordinary favor and great possessions, including a mansion and a castle in California. While God does provide for His children and we can thank Him for every good gift, true blessedness is not measured by houses or possessions. 1 Timothy 6:6 says godliness with contentment is great gain, and 1 Timothy 6:8 says if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. Philippians 4:11 teaches us to learn to be content in whatever circumstances we are in. The greatest blessing we have in Christ is spiritual, Ephesians 1:3 says we are blessed with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, which includes forgiveness, adoption, and eternal life. Matthew 6:33 calls us to seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, as He sees fit according to His perfect will, not our declarations.
We also want to address your mention of your man. If this man is not your husband, we encourage you to see this relationship as courtship with the goal of godly marriage between a man and a woman, as God designed. Genesis 2:24 says a man will leave his father and his mother and will be joined to his wife and they will be one flesh, and Hebrews 13:4 says let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers. If you are living together or intimate outside of marriage, that is fornication and we urge you to turn from it and pursue purity. We pray that if it is God's will, He would lead you both toward holy marriage that honors Him, or if this is not His will, that He would give you clarity and peace to wait on His best. A godly spouse is a great gift, and we pray for a marriage that reflects Christ and the church.
We rejoice that you mentioned the blood of Jesus, for it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only through Him that we are saved. John 14:6 says Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, and Acts 4:12 says there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved. Our favor with God does not come from our declarations but from being accepted in Christ, Ephesians 1:6, through His sacrifice.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear one and her mother, her three children, her household and her pets to You. We thank You for the blood of Jesus that cleanses and restores, and we ask that You heal souls as only You can, for Psalm 147:3 says You heal the broken in heart, and bind up their wounds. We ask that You give her true joy and peace that is not dependent on possessions or a castle, but rooted in knowing You. Teach her contentment and gratitude in all things, as 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. Provide for her needs according to Your riches in glory, Philippians 4:19, and help her to steward what she has with thankfulness, whether it is a television or a home, with a heart that says Your will be done. We pray for her family to know You more deeply, for her children to be raised in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and for her mother to be blessed. We pray for the man in her life, that You would convict, guide and lead that relationship toward holiness, and if it is Your will, toward godly marriage, and help them to flee fornication, 1 Corinthians 6:18, and to honor You with their bodies and lives. We ask that You replace any teaching of manifestation with trust in Your sovereign goodness, and help her to find her identity as highly favored not because of what she declares, but because she is in Christ. We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus, amen.
We encourage you to continue to delight yourself in the Lord, Psalm 37:4, and to find your dream not in a future mansion but in walking daily with Christ, for He is the true treasure and the giver of lasting happiness.
