We rejoice with you in your desire for great peace in your lifetime and lifestyle and we join together with you to seek the Lord for His perfect peace and blessing over your life and work.
We thank God that you have mentioned the blood of Jesus, for it is by His blood that we have peace with God and access to the Father, and we pray that you continue to rest in that finished work. We are encouraged by your heart for a new day and for extraordinary favor, and we ask the Lord to establish the work of your hands and to give you His rest and provision.
The word of God says, Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you, not as the world gives, give I to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful, John 14:27. 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. We pray that this peace guards your heart each new day, for we read, You will keep whoever’s mind is steadfast in perfect peace, because he trusts in you, Isaiah 26:3, and His mercies are new every morning, great is your faithfulness, Lamentations 3:23.
We also lift up your lifework and your new job before the Lord. We pray that He gives you favor, integrity and rest, and that even as you receive at least one day a week of rest, you would know it as a gift from Him to be refreshed in Him. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, Colossians 3:23, and Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us. Establish the work of our hands for us, Psalm 90:17. We ask that your extraordinary favor would come through the Lord’s hand and not by striving, and that your work would be done honestly and unto Him, without need for secrecy that would compromise your witness.
We hear your heart that you are no longer by yourself and that you desire a man that stays, and we bring this deep longing for companionship before the Father. We believe God designed companionship to be fulfilled in godly marriage, a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, and we pray for His best for you in this area. The Lord said, It is not good for the man to be alone, Genesis 2:18, and Whosoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor of Yahweh, Proverbs 18:22. We pray that if you desire a husband, the Lord would lead you to a faithful Christian believer who will love you as Christ loves the church and stay in covenant with you before God. We encourage you to see any courtship as purposeful toward marriage to another believer, as we are told, Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, 2 Corinthians 6:14. And we gently remind you in love that God calls us to purity, 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. Sex before or outside of marriage is fornication and is outside God’s will, and we pray you would be kept holy and honored as you wait upon the Lord for a godly marriage that reflects His faithfulness. If you are already in a relationship, we pray you would seek counsel and pursue the Lord’s design for marriage rather than simply living together or seeking a temporary companionship.
So together we pray, Father, we thank You for the blood of Jesus that covers us and gives us peace and a new day. We ask You to pour out Your perfect peace over our dear one’s life, lifestyle and home, and to quiet every worry. Bless the work of their hands at this new job, give them favor with You and with others, and use their rest to draw them closer to You. Lead them into the extraordinary favor that comes only from Your hand. And Lord, You see the loneliness and the desire not to be alone, we ask that You provide a godly spouse if it is Your will, a man of God who will stay, love faithfully, lead well and honor You in a holy marriage. Keep them pure, guard their heart, and let any relationship be centered on You and moving toward marriage. Make every new day a testimony of Your mercy and grace. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and access to You, amen.
