We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude that you have lifted these requests in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Your trust in Christ in the midst of these trials is a testament to your faith, and we join you in seeking His will for every need you’ve shared.
For your business, we remember the words of Proverbs 3:5-6, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* We pray that God would indeed bring investors of wisdom and integrity, men and women who honor Him in their dealings and who will align with His purposes for your work. May He grant you discernment to recognize His provision and the courage to walk in obedience, even if His timing or methods differ from your expectations. Remember, too, that our labor is for the Lord, not merely for profit (Colossians 3:23), so we ask that He would use this business as a tool for His kingdom, whether through generosity, testimony, or the provision of godly livelihoods.
The loss of your loved one weighs heavily on our hearts. We grieve with you and with his family, knowing that death was never part of God’s original design but entered the world through sin (Romans 5:12). Yet, we take comfort in the hope we have in Christ, who conquered death through His resurrection. If your loved one knew Jesus as Savior, we rejoice that he is now in the presence of the Lord (2 Corinthians 5:8). For those left behind, we pray for the peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7) to guard their hearts and minds. May the Lord bind up their wounds and remind them that He is close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). We also pray that this season of grief would draw his family and friends closer to Jesus, the true source of comfort.
For your son, we lift him up as he steps into this new season of life. The Lord’s promise in Proverbs 16:9 reassures us, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps."* We ask that God would go before him, preparing the way and protecting him from harm. Your prayer for a godly wife for him is one we echo with joy, for we know how precious a marriage rooted in Christ can be. We pray that your son would seek first the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33) and that the Lord would prepare a woman after His own heart—a helper suitable for him (Genesis 2:18), who loves Jesus above all and who will walk beside him in faith. Remind your son, too, that this is not a time to rush or compromise but to wait patiently on the Lord’s timing. We rebuke any temptation toward loneliness or impatience that might lead him into relationships outside of God’s will, including the danger of emotional or physical intimacy before marriage, which is fornication and dishonors the Lord (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). May he remain pure and focused on Christ, trusting that God’s plans for him are good.
For your daughter’s recovery, we claim the promise of Jeremiah 30:17, *"For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says Yahweh."* We pray that the Lord would fully restore her body and mind, freeing her from any lingering effects of the anesthesia and medication. May He grant her strength and patience as she heals, and may this trial deepen her dependence on Him. We also pray that you, as her parent, would be filled with faith and not fear, trusting that the Lord holds her in His hands.
For your wife’s job interview, we declare the words of Psalm 90:17 over her: *"Let the favor of the Lord our God be on us; establish the work of our hands for us; yes, establish the work of our hands."* We ask that the Lord would calm her nerves, fill her with confidence that comes from Him, and open the right doors for His glory. Whether she receives this position or another, may she rest in the knowledge that her worth is found in Christ alone (Colossians 3:23-24) and that He will provide for your family’s needs.
For your struggle with anxiety, we gently remind you of Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:25-34, where He tells us not to worry about tomorrow, for each day has enough trouble of its own. Instead, we are to seek His kingdom first. Anxiety often stems from a lack of trust or a focus on circumstances rather than on Christ. We pray that the Lord would renew your mind (Romans 12:2) and fill you with His peace. Cast your cares on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). If this anxiety persists, we encourage you to examine whether there are areas of your life where you are not fully surrendering to God’s sovereignty. Sometimes, our worries reveal idols—things we value more than our trust in Him. Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart (Psalm 139:23-24) and to align your desires with His will.
Regarding the threatening calls your parents are receiving, we stand against the schemes of the enemy, who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). We pray that the Lord would expose and thwart these threats, surrounding your parents with His protection and peace. Remind them of Psalm 56:3, *"When I am afraid, I will trust in you."* We also encourage practical steps, such as reporting these calls to authorities if necessary, while ultimately resting in God’s sovereignty over all things.
Finally, we want to commend you for ending your request with a declaration of trust in Jesus. This is the foundation of all our prayers—that we come to the Father through the Son, who is our mediator and advocate (1 Timothy 2:5, 1 John 2:1). There is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is only through Jesus that our prayers are heard. We are grateful you acknowledge this truth, and we encourage you to continue growing in your relationship with Him, studying His Word daily and walking in obedience.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this family and their needs to Your throne. Lord, You are the God who sees and knows all things, and nothing is too difficult for You (Jeremiah 32:27). We ask for Your wisdom and provision in their business, that You would bring godly investors who align with Your will and that You would be glorified in their work. Comfort those who grieve, Lord, and remind them that You are near to the brokenhearted. Heal their daughter completely, restoring her body and mind to full strength. Guide their son as he travels, protecting him and preparing a godly wife for him in Your perfect timing. Grant their wife favor in her interview and confidence in You alone. Calm the anxiety that weighs on this father’s heart, replacing it with Your peace and trust in Your sovereignty. Protect their parents from every threat, surrounding them with Your angels.
Lord, we ask that You would draw each member of this family closer to Yourself through these trials. Help them to seek You first in all things and to trust in Your goodness, even when the path is unclear. Strengthen their faith, unite their hearts, and let them be a light to those around them, pointing others to Jesus. We rebuke any fear, doubt, or scheme of the enemy that would seek to distract them from Your promises. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, guiding them into all truth and empowering them to walk in obedience.
We thank You, Father, for Your faithfulness and for the hope we have in Christ. May this family rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for their good and Your glory (Romans 8:28). In the precious name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
