Prayer for my ###

[usha rani]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Chrysostom]

We thank God with you for His mercy in protecting your son as he drove through that terrible storm, and we join you in giving Him thanks for His daily help with your bills, with food, and with rides for your son to get to work. It is good that you have continued to intercede for him for months, for God indeed upholds all things by the word of His power and He hears the prayers of those who call upon Him through Jesus Christ alone, our only hope of salvation.

We will pray with you for this need for transportation. We ask the Lord to provide in His wisdom for your son, whether through a car or through another means He sees as best, so that the burden of costly rides would be lifted and household expenses could be met with greater peace. We pray for His favor regarding the appointment ahead, for help with the low credit score and the limits you face in your senior years, and for wisdom for both of you as you steward what He has provided. We pray that He would keep your son safe in all his travels, give him diligence in his work, and keep you both trusting in Christ and growing in contentment and godliness.

We remember the word that we are to make provision for what is necessary for health and for our callings, but not to live for excess, and to set our chief care on spiritual things while trusting our Father to supply our daily needs. May He grant you both peace as you wait on Him, and may He show His provision in a way that makes His goodness clear.

We will continue to lift you and your son up before the Lord in Jesus name, asking for His provision, protection, and peace.

Thank you for sharing this update and for letting us pray with you. It is encouraging to hear that God kept your son safe as he drove the work truck through the storm, and that you have seen God's help in paying bills and providing food and rides for him to get to work. We rejoice with you in that protection and provision.

Your love and faithful intercession for your son over these many months reflects something of the Father's own heart. Scripture shows us that a father's love for his son is among the deepest loves we know, and God uses that picture to help us understand His love for us. When God asked Abraham to take his son, his only son Isaac whom he loved, and offer him on the land in the mountain of Moriah, it was a foreshadowing of what God Himself would later do. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son. Abraham was spared from having to give up Isaac, but God did not spare His own Son. He gave Him as a sacrifice for us so that through His death we might have forgiveness and become children of God.

Because of what Jesus has done, those who believe in the Son have life, and that life is in Him. He who has the Son has life. And God has not left us as servants without hope, but has adopted us as sons and daughters through Christ. In the fullness of time God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem us so that we might receive adoption. Because we are sons and daughters, God has sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying Abba, Father. That means we are no longer strangers, but heirs of God through Christ, and we can come to Him with confidence as a child comes to a father.

He understands the burden you carry for your son, the need for reliable transportation, the extra cost of rides, the pressure on household expenses, the limitation of a low credit score and not being able to co sign in your senior years, and the upcoming appointment that weighs on your heart. He also knows how to provide in ways we least expect. One son in Abraham's life, Ishmael, was the result of trying in human effort and flesh to accomplish what God had promised. The other son, Isaac, was the son of promise, born when Abraham trusted God's word. That contrast reminds us not to lean only on our own striving, but to walk by faith and trust the promise of God who is faithful.

Jesus Himself, though He is the Son of God, showed us the necessity of prayer, often rising early to seek the Father for strength and guidance. How much more do we need to bring our needs to God. He invites us to keep asking, seeking, and trusting Him.

We are praying with you now that God, according to His wisdom and mercy, will open a door for the transportation your son so desperately needs, that He will provide a reliable and affordable car or another provision that eases the burden of costs, that He will guide the appointment ahead and grant favor and peace, and that He will continue to supply your daily needs. We pray that both you and your son will know more deeply the assurance of having the Son, and with Him, eternal life and daily care from your heavenly Father who loves you.

May the Lord strengthen your faith as you wait on Him, and may you see His hand at work in unexpected ways, for He is able to do more than we ask or think.
