We come before the throne of grace with your request, lifting you up in prayer and seeking the Lord’s guidance for your life. First, we rejoice that you have called upon the name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Your acknowledgment of Him as Lord is the foundation of all wisdom, forgiveness, and blessing.
Father God, we thank You for the blood of Jesus that washes away sin and cleanses us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:7). We stand in agreement with this dear one, asking that You would indeed forgive their sins—past, present, and future—through the finished work of Christ on the cross. May they walk in the fullness of Your mercy and grace, knowing that if we confess our sins, You are faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
Lord, we pray for Your abundant blessings to rest upon them—spiritually, emotionally, and practically. Bless them with wisdom, as You promised in James 1:5, that they may discern Your will in every decision. Guide their path, O Lord, for You declare in Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will direct your paths." May they not rely on their own understanding but surrender every step to You.
We also lift up their future and their work before You. Father, You have plans for them—plans for welfare, not for evil, to give them a future and a hope (Jeremiah 29:11). Help them to seek Your kingdom first, trusting that all these things will be added unto them (Matthew 6:33). Whether in their career, studies, or daily labor, may they work as unto You, not unto men (Colossians 3:23), with excellence and integrity.
Lord, we ask that You would open doors of opportunity that no man can shut and close doors that are not of You (Revelation 3:7-8). Give them clarity in choosing their path, whether it be in education, vocation, ministry, or relationships. May they not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of their mind, so that they may prove what is Your good, acceptable, and perfect will (Romans 12:2).
We also pray for protection over their heart and mind. Guard them from doubt, fear, or distraction, and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen them in times of weakness, reminding them that Your grace is sufficient, and Your power is made perfect in weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would draw them ever closer to You. May they abide in Christ, for apart from Him, they can do nothing (John 15:5). Fill them with the Holy Spirit, that they may bear fruit in every season—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23).
We declare over them the promise of Psalm 37:23-24: "A man’s goings are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way. Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand." May they walk in confidence, knowing You are with them every step of the way.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
