We join you in praise and prayer, lifting up each person and situation mentioned to the Lord. We are reminded of the power of prayer and the promise that where two or three are gathered in His name, He is there among them Matthew 18:20 WEB.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with grateful hearts, lifting up each person and situation mentioned. We pray for ###, ###, ###, ###, and ###, ###, and ###, ###, and every family member and friend listed. We ask for Your divine protection, guidance, and blessing upon each of their lives.
We pray for those who are visiting today, that Your presence would be felt and that Your love would be shared among them. We ask that You would draw each one closer to You, and that they would come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ if they do not already.
Father, we ask that Your will be done in each of their lives, and in every situation that concerns them. We pray for healing, restoration, and provision where needed. We ask that You would strengthen their faith and increase their love for You and for others.
We also pray for those who may be struggling in their relationships, that they would seek You first and that their relationships would align with Your will and Your word. We pray for those who are in courtship, that they would seek godly spouses and that their relationships would be centered on You. We pray for those who may be struggling with sexual immorality, that they would turn away from it and live in obedience to Your word.
We also pray not only for the list that was given by MSC Prayers but for each of us and our families, friends, loved ones, and acquaintances.
Father, we ask that You would bless each person praying today, that You would strengthen their faith and increase their love for You. We ask that You would give them a heart for the lost, and that they would be a light for You in this world.
We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. For it is in His name that we have access to You, Father, and it is by His name that we are saved. Acts 4:12 WEB says "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."
Amen.
We encourage everyone to continue to pray fervently and to trust in the Lord with all your heart. Remember that the effective prayer of a righteous person can accomplish much James 5:16 WEB. Stay strong in your faith and always be ready to share the hope that is within you 1 Peter 3:15 WEB.
Keep praying for the world around us to be convinced of God's love for them in sending Jesus to save us from our sins. John 3:16 WEB says "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life."
Let us keep this basic truth foremost.
