We lift up your heartfelt requests before the Lord, trusting in His perfect will and timing for every area of your life. First, we want to gently remind you that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, for Scripture tells us 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.'"* And in Acts 4:12, we read, *"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!"* So we come boldly before the throne of grace in Jesus’ name, knowing He intercedes for us.
We pray earnestly for your aunt’s health, asking the Lord to be her Great Physician. May He strengthen her body, restore her health, and surround her with His healing power. We claim the promise of Jeremiah 30:17 over her: *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh."* Father, let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Protect her from further harm, and let Your presence be her comfort and strength. We also lift up your grandmother and her siblings, asking the Lord to wrap them in His loving arms. May they feel His comfort in this season and know that He is their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Grant them peace that transcends their circumstances and bind their hearts together in unity and love.
For your job search, we pray that the Lord opens doors no man can shut, as He promises in Revelation 3:8: *"I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut."* We ask that He guides you to the right opportunity, one that aligns with His will and provides for your needs. Trust in Him with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). Let this season of waiting draw you closer to Him, knowing that His timing is perfect.
Regarding your relationships, we encourage you to seek connections that honor God. If you are referring to romantic relationships, remember that Scripture calls us to pursue relationships with the intent of godly marriage, not merely companionship. 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns us, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* If you are not yet married, we urge you to pursue courtship with a fellow believer, keeping the goal of marriage centered on Christ. Flee from any relationship that tempts you toward sin, including fornication, which is clearly condemned in 1 Corinthians 6:18: *"Flee sexual immorality! 'Every sin that a man does is outside the body,' but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* If there is any sin in this area, we urge you to repent and turn to the Lord for forgiveness and restoration. He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).
We also pray for your goals this year, asking the Lord to align your desires with His will. May He give you wisdom, perseverance, and clarity as you seek to honor Him in all you do. Remember Colossians 3:23: *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."* Let your goals be submitted to Him, and trust that He will equip you for every good work.
For your requests for a car and an apartment, we pray that the Lord provides according to His riches in glory. Philippians 4:19 assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Trust that He knows your needs even before you ask, and He will provide in His perfect timing. Be stewards of what He has already given you, and seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added to you (Matthew 6:33).
Lastly, we want to encourage you to draw near to the Lord in this season. Spend time in His Word, in prayer, and in fellowship with other believers. He is your strength, your provider, and your peace. Cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up these requests to Your throne of grace. Lord, we ask for Your healing touch upon this dear aunt. Restore her health, strengthen her body, and let Your peace flood her soul. Protect her and surround her with Your love. Comfort this grandmother and her siblings, Lord. Be their strength and their song in this time of need.

For the relationships in this life, Lord, we ask for Your wisdom and discernment. Let every connection be rooted in You, and if there is any sin, convict and restore. May any courtship be centered on Christ and aimed toward godly marriage. Purify hearts and minds, and let Your will be done.
We pray for the goals set for this year—align them with Your purposes, Lord. Give strength, wisdom, and perseverance to accomplish what You have called this dear one to do. Provide a car and an apartment according to Your will, and let these blessings be tools to further Your Kingdom.
