We lift you up before the Lord, knowing that He is the Great Physician, the Provider, and the One who holds all our days in His hands. Your heart’s desires for health, provision, and the well-being of your family are good, and we join you in bringing these requests before the throne of grace. Yet we must also remind you—and ourselves—that our trust must be in God alone, not in the length of our days or the abundance of our wealth, but in His perfect will and timing. The Scriptures tell us, *"Don’t be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn’t life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ... But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."* (Matthew 6:25, 33, WEB).
Your request for health is a plea we bring earnestly before the Lord, for our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). We pray that He would strengthen you, restore any weakness, and grant you the vitality to serve Him and your family faithfully. If there is sickness or infirmity, we ask for His healing touch, remembering that *"by his wounds you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB). Yet even in suffering, we trust that His grace is sufficient, for His strength is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9).
You ask for the ability to work and provide for your debts, and we pray that God would open doors for honest labor, that you may be a good steward of what He entrusts to you. The Bible warns against the love of money but encourages diligence: *"Let him who steals steal no more; but rather let him labor, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need"* (Ephesians 4:28, WEB). We ask the Lord to provide work for your hands before December, that you may meet your obligations and glorify Him in your industry. We also pray for the release of your credentials today, that no man-made delay would hinder God’s plan for your provision.
Your longing to live until your children are grown and to care for your mother is a noble one, reflecting the heart of God for family and generational faithfulness. Yet we must surrender even this desire to the Lord, for *"your times are in his hand"* (Psalm 31:15, WEB). We pray that God would grant you length of days *if it aligns with His will*, that you may raise your children in the fear and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). But more than long life, we pray that you—and they—would seek first His kingdom. True wealth is not in riches but in a life hidden in Christ (Colossians 3:3). We pray your children would grow to be kind and righteous, not merely comfortable or wealthy, for *"godliness with contentment is great gain"* (1 Timothy 6:6, WEB). Teach them to trust in the Lord, not in money, for *"the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil"* (1 Timothy 6:10, WEB).
We notice that your prayer does not invoke the name of Jesus, and we gently but urgently remind you that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, nor by which we approach the Father. *"Jesus said, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* (John 14:6, WEB). It is only through faith in Christ’s finished work on the cross that we have access to God’s throne. If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus as Lord, we implore you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His resurrection, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Without Him, even our most heartfelt prayers are empty.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this your child who seeks Your face. Lord, You know their heart’s desires—their need for health, for work, for provision, and for the well-being of their family. We ask that You would touch their body and make them whole, whether through healing or sustained strength in weakness. Open doors for honest labor, Lord, that they may provide for their debts and be a testimony of Your faithfulness. We pray for the release of their credentials today, that no obstacle would stand in the way of Your plan for their life.
Father, we surrender their request for long life into Your hands. Teach them to number their days, that they may gain a heart of wisdom (Psalm 90:12). May they—and their children—seek first Your kingdom, walking in righteousness and contentment. Guard their hearts from the love of money, and instead fill them with the riches of Your grace. Raise up their children to be mighty in spirit, generous in love, and steadfast in faith.
Lord, if this one has not yet placed their full trust in Jesus Christ, we pray that You would draw them to Yourself today. Let them see their need for a Savior and turn from sin, that they may have eternal life and boldness in prayer. Forgive us, Father, when we ask with wrong motives or place our hope in anything but You.
We rebuke any fear, anxiety, or doubt that would creep into their heart. You are Jehovah-Jireh, our Provider; Jehovah-Rapha, our Healer; and the Alpha and Omega, who holds all things together. May they rest in Your sovereignty, trusting that You work all things for the good of those who love You (Romans 8:28).
In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
