We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude that He knows our needs even before we speak them. How comforting it is to know that our Heavenly Father hears the unspoken cries of our hearts, for He searches all hearts and understands every intent of the thoughts (1 Chronicles 28:9). Though your requests remain unspoken, we lift them to the throne of grace, trusting that God will work all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
Yet, we must gently remind you that while God knows our hearts, there is power in speaking our requests aloud or writing them down, especially when we approach Him in the name of Jesus. Jesus Himself tells us in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* Similarly, in John 16:23-24, He says, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."* The name of Jesus is our access to the Father, and it is through faith in Him that we are saved (Acts 4:12). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is only through Christ that we can boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16).
If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. The Bible tells us that *"if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation"* (Romans 10:9-10). Salvation is found in no one else, and there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have already accepted Christ, we encourage you to boldly speak your requests in His name, for He is your advocate before the Father (1 John 2:1).
Now, we lift your four unspoken requests to the Lord, trusting in His perfect will. Father, You know the deepest longings and needs of this dear one’s heart. You see what is hidden, and You understand the burdens they carry. We ask that You would move mightily in each of these situations. Bring healing where there is brokenness, provision where there is lack, restoration where there is loss, and peace where there is turmoil. Lord, let Your will be done in each of these matters, and may Your name be glorified through the answers You provide. Strengthen this beloved one’s faith as they wait on You, and remind them that You are working even when they cannot see it. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7).
We also pray that You would give them the courage to bring these requests before You in the name of Jesus, speaking them aloud or writing them down as an act of faith. Help them to trust in Your promise that when we ask anything according to Your will, You hear us (1 John 5:14). May they find comfort in knowing that You are near to all who call on You in truth (Psalm 145:18).
Finally, we ask that You would surround this one with Your love and remind them that they are never alone. You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). Let them rest in the assurance that You are faithful, and You will accomplish what concerns them (Psalm 138:8). We pray all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
