We come before the Lord with you, lifting these unspoken requests to the Father, knowing that He hears even what we cannot voice. The Scriptures remind us in Romans 8:26, *"In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered."* What a comfort to know that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us when words fail!
Yet we must also remember that our access to God is only through the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can be saved, and it is by His authority that we approach the throne of grace. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*
We pray that if you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, you would do so today. Salvation comes through repentance and belief in Him alone. If you have already trusted in Christ, we encourage you to boldly bring these requests before God in Jesus’ name, for He invites us to cast all our cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7).
Father, we lift these four unspoken burdens to You, trusting that You know each one intimately. You see what is hidden, and You understand the deepest needs of this heart. We ask for Your wisdom, provision, and peace to flood every situation. If there is sin that needs to be confessed or repentance that needs to occur, convict and lead by Your Spirit. Strengthen this dear one’s faith, and remind them that nothing is too difficult for You (Jeremiah 32:17).
May Your will be done in each of these matters, and may Your glory be revealed. We pray for protection against the schemes of the enemy and for a deep assurance that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Fill this heart with hope and trust in You, even in the waiting.
We ask all this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
