Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Thank you for sharing these four unspoken requests and for allowing us to pray with you. God knows each one fully even when they are not spoken to others, and there is comfort in knowing that Jesus Christ ever lives to make intercession for those who come to God through Him. He is able to save to the uttermost, and He intercedes continually for His people.
We will bring your four requests before the Lord, asking that He work in each situation according to His perfect wisdom and will, that He draw you closer to Christ, strengthen your faith, and provide what you need for His glory. We pray that whatever is according to His will would be granted, and whatever is not would be reshaped by His grace to lead you into greater trust and obedience.
At the same time, Scripture reminds us that prayer is a great weapon and that we need both the prayers of others and our own watchfulness before God. It is good to ask others to pray, and we gladly do so for you, but continue yourself also in steady prayer morning and evening, bringing each burden to Him with a sincere heart. He taught us to persevere like the widow who kept coming to the judge and like the friend who knocked late at night, not with many empty words but with continual and heartfelt supplication.
So let us pray together:
Father, we thank You that You hear us always through Your Son. We lift up these four unspoken requests to You. You know every detail, every need, every heartache and hope behind them. We ask for Your mercy and grace in each one, for wisdom, peace, provision and healing as You see best, and above all that Your name would be honored and that faith in Jesus Christ would be strengthened. Keep this dear one alert and trusting, guarding against discouragement, and help each day to be lived with You as the refuge and strength. We ask this in the name of Jesus, our great High Priest who lives forever to intercede for us. Amen.
