We join you in bringing these silent requests before the Lord and we thank Him with you for His grace which sustains us each day.
We are reminded that our Father knows what we need before we ask Him and that He hears even the unspoken cries of our hearts. Before a word is on our tongue, you know it completely, Lord Psalm 139:4. Your Father knows what things you need before you ask him Matthew 6:8. We take comfort that when we do not have words, the Spirit Himself intercedes for us. In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we do not know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God Romans 8:26-27.
We come together now and lift up every silent burden, every hidden need, every tear that has not yet been spoken. We pray that you would receive the peace that comes from laying these requests at His feet. 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 you would trust that He is working even now for your good, for we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose Romans 8:28.
We also rejoice with you in His grace, for it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God Ephesians 2:8. His grace is sufficient for you, for His power is made perfect in weakness 2 Corinthians 12:9. Whatever these silent requests hold, whether need, thanksgiving, healing, provision, or intercession for others, we pray that the Lord would answer according to His perfect will. This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us 1 John 5:14.
We pray together, Father we lift up these silent requests to Your throne of grace in the name of Jesus Christ. You know each one fully, every detail and every longing. We ask that You would answer according to Your wisdom and mercy, that You would grant comfort, strength, healing and provision where needed, and that You would draw this heart closer to You. Let Your will be done in each situation and let Your grace continue to be evident each day. We thank You that we can come boldly before You only through Jesus, for there is no other name by which we are saved and have access to You. We trust these unspoken prayers into Your loving hands and ask for Your peace to reign. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
