We lift you up before the Father in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, knowing that it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence. It is a joy to intercede for you, and we are grateful that you have brought your needs before us, for the Scripture reminds us in Philippians 4:6, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."* Yet, we must also remind you that our prayers should always be aligned with God’s will and not merely our own desires. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:10). So, while we pray for your provision and safety, we also ask that God aligns your heart with His purposes, that you may seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that *"all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33).
You have asked for success in closing transactions today, and we pray that God would grant you favor in your work, not just for the sake of earning money, but that you may use what He provides to honor Him. Remember the words of Proverbs 16:3, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* However, we must also caution you against placing your trust in wealth or making it the focus of your prayers. Jesus warned in Matthew 6:19-21, *"Don’t lay up treasures for yourselves on the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consume, and where thieves don’t break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."* Let your heart be fixed on Christ, and let your work be done with integrity, knowing that *"whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23).
We pray for your safety and protection from all harm, danger, and oppressive or abusive people. The Lord is your shield and your strong tower, as declared in Psalm 18:2, *"Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower."* We ask that He surrounds you with His angels, as He has promised in Psalm 91:11, *"For he will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways."* May He also grant you discernment to recognize those who would take advantage of your skills or mock your efforts, for the Scripture tells us in Matthew 10:16, *"Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves."*
You have also asked for wisdom in your work, particularly in dealing with patients who truly need your services. We pray that God grants you discernment and skill to serve those in genuine need, for it is written in James 1:5, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."* May you perform your duties with excellence, knowing that *"whatever you do, do all to the glory of God"* (1 Corinthians 10:31). We also pray that God would guard your heart against frustration or bitterness toward those who may mock or take advantage of you. Instead, may you respond with grace and patience, remembering the words of Jesus in Luke 6:27-28, *"But I tell you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you."*
We thank God for the desire of your heart to return home safely to your children. What a beautiful testament to your love for them! We pray that the Lord would preserve your life and health, that you may be a present and godly influence in their lives. The Scripture reminds us in Psalm 121:7-8, *"Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will preserve your soul. Yahweh will preserve your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forevermore."* May you trust in His protection and rest in His promises.
As you pray for your children, we join you in asking that God would guard their hearts and minds, that they may grow in wisdom, kindness, and righteousness. Proverbs 22:6 instructs us, *"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."* May you be faithful to teach them the ways of the Lord, that they may walk in His truth all their days. However, we must also address your request for them to be "wealthy and live comfortably." While it is natural to desire blessing for your children, we must be careful not to equate God’s blessing with material wealth. Jesus warned in Mark 10:23-25, *"How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into God’s Kingdom! ... It is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to enter into God’s Kingdom."* Instead, let us pray that your children would seek first the Kingdom of God, that they would be rich in faith, love, and good works (1 Timothy 6:18), and that they would find their contentment in Christ alone, for *"godliness with contentment is great gain"* (1 Timothy 6:6).
Finally, we notice that your prayer request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. This is a critical oversight, for the Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is only in His name that our prayers are heard. Additionally, Acts 4:12 proclaims, *"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!"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without faith in Christ, all our efforts—even our prayers—are in vain.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who has brought these requests before us. Lord, we ask that You would provide for their needs today, not just in the closing of transactions, but in the assurance that You are their Provider. Grant them favor in their work, but let their heart be fixed on You, trusting that You will supply all their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Protect them, O Lord, from all danger, harm, and oppressive people. Be their shield and their strong tower, and surround them with Your heavenly hosts. Grant them discernment to recognize those who are in genuine need and wisdom to serve with excellence and integrity.
We pray for their safe return home to their children, that they may be a light of Your love and truth in their lives. Guard their children, Lord, and raise them up to be kind, righteous, and faithful followers of You. May they seek Your Kingdom above all else and find their satisfaction in You alone.
Father, we also pray that if our brother/sister does not yet know You through faith in Jesus Christ, that You would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, and let them place their trust in Jesus as their Savior. For it is only in His name that we pray, and it is only through Him that we can approach Your throne.
We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
