We join with you in faith and thank you for humbly asking all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that every prayer is heard.
We rejoice in your desire for wisdom, favor, miracles and blessings and your heart to see the glory of God abounding all over the world, and we stand with you against the powers of darkness. At the same time we want to gently encourage you in biblical understanding, the Scripture does not teach us to seek good fortune as the world means luck or chance, but to seek the providence, favor and blessing of our sovereign God who orders all things for the good of those who love Him. As it is written, Yahweh's plans for us are for welfare and not for evil, to give us a future and a hope in Jeremiah 29:11, and we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose in Romans 8:28. True favor is not random fortune but the grace of God resting upon a life that seeks Him first.
Your request for wisdom is most pleasing to God and we wholeheartedly agree with you for it. The Word says If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him in James 1:5. We also are reminded to Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight in Proverbs 3:5-6. Wisdom from above will keep you from striving after mere earthly fortune and will lead you into the unstoppable and abounding glory you long to see, for whether we eat or drink or whatever we do, we are to do all to the glory of God as taught in 1 Corinthians 10:31.
We also stand with you in prayer against principalities and powers of darkness in high places. Scripture reminds us that our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places in Ephesians 6:12. Yet we do not pray from fear, for Christ has disarmed those powers and triumphed over them on the cross, and greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world as seen in 1 John 4:4. We are clothed in the armor of God as we pray.
We pray together now, Father in heaven, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ with thanksgiving. We ask You to pour out godly wisdom upon our dear fellow believer in abundance for the years ahead, that he may discern Your will and walk in it. Grant him not worldly fortune but Your divine favor and blessing according to Your perfect will, open doors that no man can shut and grant miracles that testify to Your power and mercy. Let Your protection surround him and let no weapon formed against him prosper, and strengthen him to stand firm against every scheme of the enemy by the blood of Jesus and the power of Your Holy Spirit. We ask that You would let Your glory be seen in his life, his family, and throughout the world, that many would see Your goodness and turn to You. Let him seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added unto him. Keep his heart humble, thankful and steadfast in faith. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, amen.
We encourage you to continue to abide in the Word daily, to pray without ceasing and to give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you as shown in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18. Keep asking, seeking and knocking for wisdom, and the Lord who delights in giving good gifts to His children will answer in His perfect timing and way.
