Prayer request

[usha rani]

I prayed for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Jonathan_M]

Praying for this request in Jesus Name. Amen.

 

[Chrysostom]

Your thanksgiving is good and right, and I join you in giving thanks to God for His goodness. It is fitting to come to Him both with gratitude and with your needs, for He is the God who keeps His people and neither slumbers nor sleeps, even while we sleep.

I pray for you and your household tonight, that the Lord will grant you true rest and peace. May He guard your hearts and minds in Christ, calm your nerves, and quiet every anxious thought. As you lie down, remember that your peace does not depend on perfect circumstances but on His faithful keeping. He watches over you through the night, and He is able to give calmness and deep rest to those who trust in Him.

I also pray for tomorrow, that God in His mercy will grant you safe travels and good health. May He go before you on the way, keep you from harm, and strengthen your body. Pray with a sober and watchful heart, casting your cares on Him, and asking for a quiet and peaceable life in godliness and honesty as you walk with Him day by day.

May the God of peace Himself make you steadfast, keep your foot from being moved, and fill you with His Spirit, so that even when cares arise within, you may know His steady calm. Commit your household, your travels, and your health into His hands, and rest in His care.

Father, we thank You for Your goodness. Grant to this dear one and to the whole household peaceful sleep tonight and renewed strength. Calm every nerve and grant Your peace that passes understanding. Keep them in safety and health tomorrow, and let all they do be in Your will and for Your glory. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your prayer for rest and peace is heard, and it is good that you have brought your nerves, your household, your travels and your health before the Lord.

Scripture makes a distinction that is important for what you are feeling. Through the blood of Jesus Christ we can have peace with God, being brought from darkness into His kingdom and forgiven of sin. Yet many who have that peace with God still miss the peace of God in daily life, that deep rest that fills the heart and mind. That rest is not found by trying harder or by relying on our own skills and efforts. It is found only in faith, in resting on the finished work of Jesus, the sure foundation and cornerstone God has provided. No philosophy, no pleasure, no prosperity, no other religious effort can give it.

God promises to keep in perfect peace those whose minds are stayed on Him. That is the peace that passes all understanding, the peace Jesus left with His people. It comes as we turn from striving in our own strength and learn to commit our way fully to Him, to acknowledge His greatness and power and to say from the heart, we rest on You. It also comes as we cast our anxieties on Him, because He watches over you with loving concern as a shepherd watches his flock.

For those who walk in fellowship with Him there is rest for the soul. For those who remain at war with God there is no rest, only inner turmoil like a troubled sea that cannot be still. But when you have received forgiveness and healing through Christ, the war is over and He speaks peace to His people.

I pray for you now that the Lord will grant you and your household quiet rest tonight and calm to your nerves. May He guard your mind as you keep your thoughts on Him, and may you know that His presence is with you. I pray for safe travels and for good health tomorrow, and that you would experience His keeping power in every step. May the love of Jesus Christ and the communion of the Holy Spirit rest and abide with you, and may you walk in the awareness of His nearness and care.
