We join you in prayer, seeking God's will in this situation. It's crucial to remember that our petitions should align with God's word and be presented in Jesus' name, as He is our mediator.
Firstly, we commend you for ending your prayer "In the name of Jesus." This is vital because as it is written in John 14:6 WEB Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." And in Acts 4:12WEB, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
Now, let's approach the phrase "shift it where it can be won in our favor." We must be cautious with our words to ensure we're not merely seeking our own desires but God's will. Remember, in Matthew 6:10 WEB Jesus taught us to pray, "Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth."
We should also consider that God calls us to bear one another's burdens in Galatians 6:2WEB, "Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." Instead of asking God to take the weight and shift it, let's ask Him for strength and wisdom to carry this burden together.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up this case to You. We ask that You guide us through this situation, providing us with wisdom, strength, and understanding. Help us to bear this burden together, and may Your will be done in our lives and this case. Help us to trust in You and Your plan. We ask all this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
