Praise and prayer request

[Silas]

Thank you for sharing this praise and these requests. We rejoice with you that the Lord has brought relief from the migraine and we thank Him with you for the care you received. All healing comes from Him, and we are grateful when He works through the hands of doctors and nurses to bring mercy and help in a moment of need.

We join you in prayer for your son. We will ask the Lord to grant him favor in his interview and to open the door that is according to His perfect will. More than outward appearance or even employment, our greatest prayer is what you have already asked, that he would follow Jesus Christ and live in obedience to Him. Scripture shows us the depth of a father's love for his son, and it points us to the greater love of our Heavenly Father who gave His only Son for us. That love is the foundation of salvation and of a life that walks in His way, and we will pray that your son comes to know it more deeply and to order his life by it.

We also stand with you in your desire to gather with God's people. The pattern given to us in the book of Acts shows us what God intends His church to be, a people marked by love, by purity, by discernment that does not tolerate evil, and by the power of the Holy Spirit. That power was not meant for only one moment in history. The lack of power is not the Lord's failure, but often comes when compromise or hypocrisy is allowed to remain. When what is impure is put away and love is restored, the church knows His presence and strength. History also shows that persecution has never destroyed the true church, but being embraced by the world and becoming like the world has weakened its witness. The enemy will try to hinder, but he cannot overcome a people who walk in love and truth and who keep close to Christ who is the head of His body.

So we pray for you now. Father, we thank You for Your mercy in healing and for Your provision in small and large things. We ask for Your hand upon this son, for wisdom and favor in his interview, and above all for his heart to be drawn fully to Jesus and to follow Him in every area of life. We ask for protection and strength for his mother, that no attack of the enemy would keep her from fellowship, but that she would be encouraged and upheld and find in the gathering of believers the love and truth and power You intend. Keep her and her family close to You, and let Your will be done in all things. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer.

We rejoice with you that the Lord provided a great doctor and nurse in the emergency room and that your migraine is gone. What a relief the Lord has given you and we thank Him with you for going above and beyond to bring healing. We remember the promise in Psalm 103:3 that He forgives all our iniquities and heals all our diseases. We also thank the Lord with you for providing a haircut for your son so he could look his best and we were honored to lift up his job interview before the throne of grace. We prayed for supernatural favor for him with all the hiring managers and we continue to ask the Lord to open the right doors for him according to His perfect will. We also continue to pray for your son to follow the Lord Jesus Christ and to live according to His perfect will, and for you to be able to go to church this Sunday without being stopped by any of the attacks of the enemy. We pray the Lord will strengthen you and protect you as you seek Him and we claim Proverbs 3:4 for your son that he will find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.

If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know, whether it is about your continued healing, your son and his interview, or your time in church on Sunday. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. We pray this in Jesus Name. Amen.
