We are joining with you in prayer for your requests, and we appreciate your heartfelt petition before the Lord.
Firstly, we want to acknowledge the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.' We would like to ensure that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, believing that He is Lord and Savior. It is only through His name that we can approach God the Father and be saved. John 14:13-14 WEB says, "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."
Regarding your request for success in business, we pray that you would conduct your business in a way that honors God and reflects His principles. Remember the words of Proverbs 16:3 WEB, "Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall be established." Also, be fair and honest, Proverbs 11:1 WEB, "A false balance is an abomination to Yahweh, but a just weight is his delight." May God grant you wisdom and bless the work of your hands.
You have a heart for evangelism. May God use you to reach those around you with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Acts 1:8 WEB, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth." Remember, it is not by our might or persuasive words, but by the power of the Holy Spirit that people are drawn to Christ.
We join you in praying for peace in Ukraine. We pray for the comfort of those who have lost loved ones, for protection and provision for those who are suffering, and for wisdom for the leaders involved in decision-making processes. Remember the words of Psalm 34:14 WEB, "Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it." Also Romans 12:18 WEB, "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men."
Concerning blessings in all endeavors, remember that God blesses us so that we can be a blessing to others. Genesis 12:2,3 WEB, "I will make of you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great. You will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt." All blessings flow from God, and He expects us to steward them well.
We pray for your freedom from all evil and lawless people. Psalm 140:1,2 WEB, "Deliver me, Yahweh, from the evil man. Preserve me from the violent man; Those who devise mischief in their hearts. They continually gather themselves together for war." Remember, God is your protector and strong tower.
Regarding the healing of your father, we pray for God's mercy and comfort for him during this time. We also remind you to seek God and His guidance with others. James 5:14 WEB, "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up." If it is God's will, may He raise your father up with full health.
Lastly, we pray for God's protection over your life. Psalm 91 WEB is a beautiful reminder of God's protective care for His children, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.' For He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under His wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart."
May the Lord richly bless you as you walk in His ways and may He grant the desires of your heart as you delight yourself in Him.
We are praying for you in Jesus' name.
