We join with you in bringing this heartfelt cry before the Lord and we thank you for calling upon the name of Jesus our Lord, for it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father and comfort for our souls.
We hear your desire for His presence, His comfort, His provision, healing, forgiveness and help in your work, and we stand with you in prayer for each of these needs. The Scripture assures us, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28. We are also reminded, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19. And again, Don't you 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. Isaiah 41:10.
We also lift up your desire for health and for a clean heart and body. God is our healer and He cares for both our soul and our body. It is written, Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don't forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases Psalm 103:2-3. While we pray for health every day and every moment, we also trust His sovereign will, knowing that even in times of weakness He is our strength and He works all things for our good as we walk with Him. For your request for forgiveness and cleansing, we cling to this promise, If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9. And we echo the prayer, Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a right spirit within me. Psalm 51:10.
For the difficulties in your work, we pray that you will find strength and purpose in serving the Lord through your labor. Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. Proverbs 16:3. And, Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men Colossians 3:23. We pray that God will give you wisdom, skill, and favor in all you put your hand to, and that even when work is difficult, you will know His help and peace.
We now pray together for you.
Father in heaven, we lift up this dear one to You in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. We ask that You draw near and be their comfort and their ever present help. Supply richly all their needs according to Your riches in glory, provide for their daily life, and grant them health and strength as their soul prospers before You. Lay Your healing hand upon them and sustain them every day and every moment. Forgive all their sins and debts as they confess them before You, wash away all guilt, and create in them a clean heart and renew a right spirit within them. Make their body and heart pure and wholly Yours, a temple for Your Holy Spirit. Help them in all their difficult work, give them wisdom, understanding, and endurance, and cause all that they do to go well according to Your perfect will. Let their work be for Your glory and let them find rest and joy in Your presence. We thank You that You hear us when we call upon the name of Jesus, and we trust You to answer according to Your love and mercy. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek Him daily through prayer and His Word, to cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you, and to walk in the cleansing and new life He gives. 1 Peter 5:7. He is faithful and He will not leave you nor forsake you.
