Beloved of All
Thank you for trusting us with what is on your heart, even when it remains unspoken. God knows each of these four requests fully, and we have lifted them before Him with thanksgiving, knowing that He hears us always and that His will and the Father's will are one.
We prayed that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ would be with you, for we need both His grace and our own faithful obedience if we are to be saved and to walk well. Prayer is a great weapon and an unshaken tower, and we asked God to keep you in it morning and evening, so that whatever trouble or conflict you face in the day, you may go forth with security and without shipwreck, having first made God favorable to you through supplication.
We also asked the God of peace to grant you peace at all times and in every way, and to bruise Satan under your feet shortly, giving you victory and rest from division and distress. As you continue to ask, seek and knock, remember to join prayer with diligent action, doing your part while trusting wholly in His help.
Above all we prayed that you would be led to follow peace with all people and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord, and that each of these unspoken matters would be answered according to God's perfect and holy will in Christ, who alone is the way of salvation. May He give you wisdom to discern His will, strength to obey it, and confidence that He who has already freed you from greater evils by grace will also care for these lesser burdens now that you are His.
We will continue to keep these four requests before the Lord with you.

Beloved of All
Thank you for trusting us with these four unspoken requests. We have brought them before the Lord, even though you have not shared the details, because God already knows them fully.
Scripture shows that God knows what you will need long before you do, so prayer is not about informing Him of something He does not know. It is about opening your heart to Him so that His will can be done in your life. That is why the wisest prayer we can pray for each of these matters is simply, Lord, let Your perfect will be done. When you pray that way, you are cooperating with Him and giving Him the open door to do what He has purposed to do, without violating the choice He has given you.
We also remember that God desires to bless His people, not because we are good enough to earn it, but because He is good. Like Jabez who called on the God of Israel and was heard, you can come with confidence that God hears the voice of those who seek Him. He is able to do far more than we ask or think, and with Him there is no difference between a small request and a great one. What seems impossible to us is not more difficult for Him.
At the same time the Bible teaches that if we hold onto sin in our hearts the Lord will not hear us, while He always hears the one sincere prayer, God be merciful to me a sinner. If you have put your faith in Jesus Christ, you have direct access to the Father through Him, and the position of your heart matters far more than the position of your body as you pray. Come honestly, with a heart that wants His way above your own, worshiping Him for who He is and not only asking for what you want.
There are times when we cry out and it seems nothing changes and the problem remains. In those moments we are tempted to blame God, but true prayer always includes, nevertheless not my will but Yours be done. When we pray in faith, trusting His goodness and love, we can end our prayer with praise even before we see the answer, confident that He has heard and will answer according to His wisdom. That was the strength of Abraham who gave glory to God before the promise was fulfilled, because he trusted the One who gave the promise.
So for each of your four requests we are asking that God will keep you from evil, that He will work His good purpose in each situation, that He will give you assurance and comfort by His Spirit as you wait on Him, and that whatever the outcome, He will be glorified in your life. May you be strengthened to continue as a person of prayer and of His Word, resting in His faithfulness and surrendering each burden to His loving care.
