We join together with you in prayer before our heavenly Father and we lift up you and your son to Him for His provision, protection, and guidance.
We notice your request does not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to gently share why this is so important to us. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God and it is only by His name that we are saved. Jesus said in John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And in Acts 4:12 we are told There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. We pray in the name of Jesus because He is our mediator and our hope, and we encourage you to place your trust fully in Him for every need.
We bring your need for a job before the Lord. We know the worry that comes with waiting for provision and for an answer to an inquiry you sent months ago. We pray that God will open the right door in His perfect timing and that He will supply what you need. We remember the promise in Philippians 4:19 My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. And in Psalm 37:23 A man's goings are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way. We ask for favor over that inquiry and for clarity if God is leading you in a different direction, and we pray that He will guide your steps as you desire to go somewhere soon. We ask Him to make His will clear and to provide safe travel and purpose wherever He leads you.
We also lift up your prayer for continued protection over you and your son from trespassers, neighbors, coworkers, and even family. We understand how heavy it feels to need protection on so many sides. We claim the promise in Isaiah 54:17 No weapon that is formed against you will prevail. We pray that the Lord will be your refuge and shield. As it says in Psalm 91:1-2 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress. My God, in whom I trust. And in Psalm 121:7-8 Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more. We pray that God will set boundaries of peace around your home and your family, that He will soften hearts where there is conflict, and that He will keep you both safe from harm and from evil intent.
We pray too for discernment, guidance, strength, and knowledge over you and your son. We ask God to pour out wisdom generously as He promises in James 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. We pray you will both trust in Him fully as Proverbs 3:5-6 teaches Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. May He strengthen you when you are weary, for Isaiah 41:10 says Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
We pray together now. Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear parent and son to Your throne of grace. Lord, provide the job that is needed, a good and honest work that will provide for their needs and use the gifts You have given. We ask for an answer to the inquiry that has been waiting, and if it is Your will, open that door, and if not, lead to something better. Grant them protection day and night, keep them from those who would trespass or do harm, whether neighbor, coworker, or family, and let no weapon formed against them prosper. Surround their home with Your peace and Your angels. Fill them with discernment and guidance, give them strength for each day and knowledge to walk in Your ways. Direct their steps and guide them as they hope to go somewhere soon, and let Your perfect will be done in their lives. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus, amen.
We encourage you to keep seeking Him daily in prayer and in His Word, to cast all your cares on Him because He cares for you as said in 1 Peter 5:7, and to trust that He hears and will answer according to His perfect wisdom and love.
