We are honored that you have trusted us with your five unspoken prayer requests and we count it a privilege to lift them up together before our heavenly Father. Though they are unspoken to us, they are fully known to Him who searches all hearts.
We are reminded of the comfort of Romans 8:26 that the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we do not know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And Psalm 139:4 tells us that even before a word is on our tongue, behold, you, Yahweh, know it altogether. What a comfort that nothing is hidden from Him and He understands the deep burdens, hopes, and needs behind each of your five requests even when we do not have the details.
We also take encouragement from Philippians 4:6-7 which says In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. And 1 John 5:14 reminds us that this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. We can trust that as we bring these unspoken needs to Him according to His will, He hears and He will answer for your good and His glory, for Romans 8:28 assures us that we know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
We notice your request did not mention the name of Jesus, and we want to gently share why His name is so essential. It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we can be 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 Acts 4:12 declares 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. To come to God in prayer we come through Jesus Christ who shed His blood and rose again so that our sins may be forgiven and we may have eternal life. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus, to confess with your mouth that He is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, as Romans 10:9 teaches, and you will be saved. It is through Him that our prayers are heard.
We now join together in prayer for you.
Father in heaven, we come before Your throne of grace in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son. We thank You that You know each of these five unspoken requests intimately, every detail, every fear, every hope. We ask that You would work in each situation according to Your perfect will and wisdom. Where there is need, provide. Where there is brokenness, bring healing and restoration. Where there is confusion, grant clarity and direction. Where there is waiting, grant patience and peace. We pray that You would be glorified in each answer and that the one who brought these requests would feel Your presence, Your peace that surpasses all understanding guarding heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Draw this dear one closer to You through Jesus, strengthen faith, and help to trust You even when the answers are not yet seen. We ask all this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to call upon Him, for Jeremiah 33:3 says Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great things, and difficult, which you do not know. Keep bringing these burdens to Him daily through Jesus, trusting that He is faithful. We are standing with you in prayer and we trust God will work in each of these five areas for your good.
