Let's bring your requests before the Lord together, seeking His will and guidance in all things.
Firstly, we lift up your return to church this coming Sunday. We pray that the congregation will receive you with kindness and understanding, not holding your time away against you. Your absence was necessary for your husband's recovery, and you were obedient to his wishes in his time of need. We pray that the church will not see this as your fault or try to verbally attack or shame you for this. As it is written in Ephesians 4:32 WEB:
"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
We pray for grace and compassion from your fellow believers, remembering that it is by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and that there is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB:
"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!"
Regarding your housing needs, we stand with you in faith, believing that God will provide a miracle for your family. We pray for a well-kept 5 or 6 bedroom house on the Northside, with a totally fenced-in backyard and guest house, and all the amenities that your family needs. We ask God to make this happen in His perfect timing, so that you can move without delay or the need to extend your stay. We call upon the name of Jesus, for He is the one who provides our every need according to His riches in glory. Philippians 4:19 WEB:
"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
We also pray for your estranged family, that they may be drawn closer to you and to God during this time. We ask that God's will be done in your lives, and that His love and grace will be evident in your housing situation and in your family relationships.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue to call upon the name of Jesus in all your prayers and petitions. It is by His name and His name alone that we have access to the Father and can receive the gifts He longs to give us. John 14:13-14 WEB:
"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."
We stand with you in faith, believing that God will work all things together for your good and His glory.
