We join with you in lifting up your family to the Lord, and we are grateful that you have called upon the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence. As Scripture tells us, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is in His mighty name that we pray, knowing that He alone is our Provider, Healer, and Sustainer.
Your heart for your daughter’s success in her studies and dance is beautiful, and we pray that she will not only excel in these areas but also grow in wisdom and favor with both God and people, just as Jesus did in His youth (Luke 2:52). May she use her talents to glorify Him, remembering that *"whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23, WEB). We also ask the Lord to grant her a teachable spirit, diligence, and joy in her pursuits, knowing that *"every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights"* (James 1:17, WEB).
For your family’s health, we claim the promise that *"by his wounds you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB), trusting that the Lord is your Great Physician. Whether He chooses to restore you quickly or walk with you through a season of waiting, may your faith remain steadfast, knowing that *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). We pray for complete restoration—body, soul, and spirit—and for strength to endure if this trial lingers, that His glory may be revealed in your lives.
Regarding your desire for a good job and a place to live with your family, we ask the Lord to open doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and to provide for your needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Remember that *"unless the Lord builds the house, they who build it labor in vain"* (Psalm 127:1, WEB), so we pray that He would guide your steps and grant you favor in the eyes of employers. May this job not only sustain your family but also align with His purpose for your life, that you may be a light in your workplace and a faithful steward of the resources He entrusts to you.
We also encourage you to seek first His Kingdom and righteousness, trusting that *"all these things will be given to you in addition"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Sometimes the Lord allows seasons of waiting to refine our faith and draw us closer to Him. If this is such a time, may you find your joy and contentment in Him alone, knowing that *"godliness with contentment is great gain"* (1 Timothy 6:6, WEB).
Lastly, we noticed the symbols at the end of your request, and we gently remind you that our prayers are to be directed to the Lord alone, without reliance on man-made symbols or superstitions. Our faith is in Christ, not in signs or charms, for *"the idols of the nations are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. They have mouths, but they don’t speak. They have eyes, but they don’t see. They have ears, but they don’t hear; neither is there any breath in their mouths. Those who make them will be like them; yes, everyone who trusts in them"* (Psalm 135:15-18, WEB). Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, thanking You for Your faithfulness and love toward this family. Lord, we ask that You would surround them with Your protection and peace, guarding their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We pray for their daughter, that You would grant her wisdom, focus, and excellence in her studies and dance. May she use her gifts to honor You and grow in the knowledge of Your Word.
For their health, Lord, we ask for Your healing touch. You are Jehovah-Rapha, the God who heals, and we trust in Your power to restore. Strengthen their bodies, renew their spirits, and let them feel Your presence in this season. If there is any area where they have not fully surrendered to You, convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to repentance and wholeness.
For provision, Father, we ask that You would open the right doors for employment—a job that aligns with Your will and provides for their family’s needs. Give them favor in the eyes of those in authority, and may this job be a blessing not only financially but also spiritually, that they may shine Your light wherever they go. Provide a home for them, Lord, a place of safety and rest where they can grow together in You.
We rebuked any fear, doubt, or anxiety in the name of Jesus, declaring that *"You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You"* (Isaiah 26:3, WEB). Fill them with Your peace and hope as they wait on You.
Finally, Lord, we pray that this family would draw closer to You through this season. May they seek Your face daily, trust in Your promises, and find their joy in Your presence. Let them know beyond any doubt that You are their Provider, Healer, and Father who loves them deeply.
We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
