We lift up this dear brother in Christ, asking the Lord to lighten his load in this season of moving and work. Father, we ask that You would grant him strength beyond his own, wisdom to prioritize his time, and peace in the midst of the demands before him. The Word reminds us in Matthew 11:28, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest." We pray that he would feel Your presence carrying him through each task, that his hands would be steady, his mind clear, and his spirit at rest in You.
Lord, we also pray that he would walk in the Spirit daily, not being led by the flesh but by Your Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:16 tells us, "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh." May he be sensitive to Your leading, filled with Your fruit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Let his life be a testimony of Your grace, and may he minister to others out of the overflow of what You are doing in his own heart. Open doors for him to share Your love, to speak life into those around him, and to be a vessel of Your truth in every conversation.
We rebuke any spirit of overwhelm, anxiety, or distraction that would seek to pull him away from his dependence on You. We declare that his steps are ordered by You, and that every detail of this season is under Your sovereign care. Help him to cast his cares upon You, knowing that You care for him (1 Peter 5:7). May he find moments of stillness to seek Your face, even in the busiest of days, and may Your peace guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We also want to gently encourage him to examine his heart before You. If there are any areas where he is relying on his own strength or seeking fulfillment outside of You, we pray that You would reveal them to him. Let this season of transition be one of deepening trust in You, where he learns to lean not on his own understanding but to acknowledge You in all his ways (Proverbs 3:5-6). May his ministry flow from a place of intimacy with You, where he is first filled so that he can pour out to others.
Father, we thank You for hearing our prayer. We trust that You are working all things together for his good, for he is called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). Strengthen him, equip him, and use him mightily for Your glory. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
