We join with you in faith and agreement over your actions and reactions, and we thank you for humbly asking all these things in the name of Jesus Christ with thanksgiving, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father.
We pray that the Lord will establish and bless the work of your hands and guide every word and deed so that all you do brings glory to Him. The scripture says in Colossians 3:17 Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him. And in Proverbs 16:3 Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. We ask God to give you wisdom to act with love and truth and to react with grace and self control, even when tested.
We also hear your heart for favor and blessing and for miracles and abounding glory. We pray Psalm 90:17 over you, 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 not for favor for selfish gain but for favor that opens doors for the gospel and displays His goodness, and we pray that any miracles and blessings you receive would point others to Jesus and bring Him all the glory, for the glory belongs to Him alone.
You rightly prayed against principalities and powers of darkness in high places. We stand with you in this spiritual battle, remembering Ephesians 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. We pray that you would be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might, clothed in the full armor of God, so you can stand firm against every scheme of the enemy.
We also want to encourage you regarding reactions. God calls us to reflect Christ in how we respond to others, especially under pressure. James 1:19 says So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger. We pray the Holy Spirit will produce His fruit in you in every reaction, which is described in Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law. May your actions be seasoned with love and your reactions governed by patience and gentleness.
We now pray together.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we lift up our dear brother or sister to You with thanksgiving. We ask that You bless every action and reaction, that they would be led by Your Spirit and aligned with Your will. Grant unmatched favor where it will further Your kingdom, pour out blessings according to Your riches in glory, and work miracles that testify to Your power and mercy. We come against every principality and power and spiritual force of wickedness in the heavenly places that would seek to hinder, deceive, or discourage, and we ask You to break its influence by the blood of Jesus. Let Your abounding and unspeakable glory be revealed in this life and all over the world, that many would see and turn to You. Establish the work of these hands, purify every motive, and make every word and deed reflect Christ. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.
