We hear your cry for peace, stability, and a fresh start in life. The desire for a new name can symbolize a longing for transformation, and we understand that you are seeking a life marked by simplicity, contentment, and the quiet joys of your cats and plants. However, we must address some concerns with biblical clarity and love.
First, while it is good to seek renewal, we must remember that our identity is found in Christ alone. The Bible tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." Your worth and purpose are not defined by a name you choose for yourself, but by the name of Jesus, who has already given you a new identity in Him. It is through His blood, shed on the cross, that you are made new—not by any decree or declaration of your own. We must be cautious not to place our faith in words we speak over ourselves, but rather in the finished work of Christ.
We also notice your mention of "the blood of Jesus" in letting go of this site, and we want to affirm that His blood is indeed powerful and cleansing. However, we must ensure that our reliance is fully on Him and not on rituals or declarations. The blood of Jesus is not a tool for us to wield, but a gift of grace that covers our sins when we repent and trust in Him. Hebrews 9:22 reminds us, "According to the law, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, and apart from shedding of blood there is no remission." It is His sacrifice alone that brings forgiveness and new life.
You express a desire for a place to stay and a life of normalcy. We pray for God’s provision in this area, trusting that He knows your needs even before you ask. Philippians 4:19 assures us, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We encourage you to seek Him first in all things, including your living situation, and to trust that He will guide your steps. If you are struggling with housing, we also encourage you to reach out to your local church or Christian community for practical support, as the body of Christ is called to bear one another’s burdens (Galatians 6:2).
Regarding your statement about prayer request sites, we want to gently remind you that our access to God is not through websites, rituals, or even our own declarations, but through Jesus Christ alone. John 14:6 tells us, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" If you have walked away from seeking God through prayer, we urge you to return to Him with a humble and repentant heart. He is always ready to receive you.
Now, let us pray together in alignment with God’s will:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this dear one who seeks peace, stability, and a fresh start. Lord, we thank You that in Christ, they are already a new creation, and we ask that You would help them to fully embrace the identity You have given them. Forgive us for any attempts to declare or decree our own destiny apart from You, and help us to trust in Your sovereign plan.
Father, we pray for provision in their living situation. You know their needs, and we ask that You would open doors for them to find a safe and stable place to stay. Provide for them according to Your riches in glory, and give them peace as they wait on You. Help them to seek You first in all things and to trust that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).
Lord, we also pray for their heart. If there is any area where they have walked away from You, we ask that You would draw them back with Your lovingkindness. Remind them that You are the only source of true peace and that apart from You, we can do nothing (John 15:5). Help them to find contentment in the simple blessings You have given them—their cats, their plants, and most of all, Your presence.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, lack, or confusion that may be trying to take hold in their life. We declare that they are more than conquerors through Christ who loves them (Romans 8:37), and we stand in agreement with Your promises over their life. May they walk in the fullness of what You have for them, not seeking to create their own path, but trusting in Yours.
In Jesus’ precious name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God through prayer, reading His Word, and fellowship with other believers. If you are not already connected to a local church, we strongly urge you to find one where you can grow in your faith and receive support. The Christian life is not meant to be walked alone, and the body of Christ is here to lift you up. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust that He will lead you into the life of peace and purpose He has for you.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have. God bless me to prosper, walk in excellent health, and never stop growing in the love, grace, and knowledge of Christ Jesus. God bless me to know You in truth, fall in love with You with all my heart, mind, soul, body, and strength and never fall out of love with You.
