We join you in lifting up thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father for His goodness, mercy, and faithfulness in your life and the lives of your family. It is wonderful to see your heart of gratitude and intercession for so many, and we are glad you have invoked the precious name of Jesus in your prayers—for it is through Him alone that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me'" (John 14:6, WEB)*. Your prayers are a beautiful reflection of a heart that seeks God’s will, and we stand with you in agreement before the throne of grace.
We praise God with you for His protection over Israel and the peace of Jerusalem, for *"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper"* (Psalm 122:6, WEB). We also lift up America, asking that God would turn the hearts of her people back to Him in repentance and revival, for *"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people"* (Proverbs 14:34, WEB). May His will be done in our land as it is in heaven.
Now, let us address the specific requests you’ve brought before us, beginning with the matters of relationships and marriage. You’ve mentioned praying for a man to propose to his girlfriend. We must gently but firmly remind you that marriage is a sacred covenant before God, and it is not something to be entered into lightly or based on human timelines alone. *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). Before praying for a proposal, we must ask: Are both individuals born-again believers in Jesus Christ? Are they walking in obedience to His Word, including abstaining from sexual immorality, which is fornication before marriage? *"Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed is undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers"* (Hebrews 13:4, WEB). If this couple is not yet married but living as though they are, we urge repentance and a return to holiness, for *"the body is... for the Lord, and the Lord for the body"* (1 Corinthians 6:13, WEB). Let us pray that if this relationship is of God, He would prepare their hearts for a Christ-centered marriage built on His foundation. If it is not His will, may He give clarity and the strength to walk away.
For the man who lost his job, we pray that God would open doors of opportunity for him as a plumber, providing not just a job but divine connections that will sustain him. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). We also pray for wisdom and favor regarding the use of a vehicle, that God would provide a temporary solution while this brother saves for his own. *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight"* (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB).
For the young woman struggling with her grades, we ask God to grant her focus, diligence, and divine help to complete her studies successfully. *"Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up"* (Galatians 6:9, WEB). May she be reminded that her worth is found in Christ, not in academic achievement, but that she would steward her responsibilities well for His glory.
Regarding the man seeking disability approval, we pray for God’s provision and for patience in the waiting. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, 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"* (Philippians 4:6-7, WEB).
For the mother who received a second stent, we pray for complete healing and restoration in her body. *"Yahweh, be gracious to us. We have waited for you. Be our strength every morning, our salvation also in the time of trouble"* (Isaiah 33:2, WEB). May she feel God’s comforting presence and experience His supernatural peace.
We also note your prayer for two friends to grow closer in friendship. Friendship is a gift from God, but we caution against placing emotional dependence on any person above your dependence on Christ. *"A friend loves at all times; and a relative is born for adversity"* (Proverbs 17:17, WEB). If this friendship is causing confusion or emotional turmoil—such as the inconsistency you described—it may be wise to seek God’s perspective on boundaries. Are there unspoken expectations or ungodly soul ties forming? *"Don’t be unequally yoked"* applies not just to marriage but to close relationships that may pull you away from godly priorities. We pray for clarity and for both of you to be rooted in Christ first, so that any friendship would be life-giving and honorable.
For the person who has been absent since moving to Colorado, we pray for their safety and well-being. However, we must gently address the mention of TikTok. Social media can become an idol or a distraction from what truly matters. *"Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth"* (Colossians 3:2, WEB). While it’s natural to care for this person, let us pray that their heart would be turned toward God, not toward the approval or attention of others online. If this person is a believer, may they be led by the Spirit to reconnect in healthy, God-honoring ways.
You’ve also shared about your struggle with cussing, and we commend you for recognizing this as something that does not align with a life surrendered to Christ. *"Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear"* (Ephesians 4:29, WEB). *"But now you must also put away all of these: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth"* (Colossians 3:8, WEB). This is a battle of the tongue, and we pray that God would renew your mind and fill your heart with His Word so that what comes out of your mouth would be pleasing to Him. Memorizing Scripture and asking the Holy Spirit to convict you in the moment can be powerful tools in overcoming this.
Regarding the situation with the man messing with another woman while his girlfriend is your friend, we must address this as sin. Adultery and betrayal are grievous in God’s sight. *"You shall not commit adultery"* (Exodus 20:14, WEB). We pray for conviction in his heart and for your friend to see her worth in Christ. If she is a believer, we pray she would have the courage to walk away from a relationship that is not honoring to God. *"Don’t you know that the unrighteous will not inherit God’s Kingdom? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers... will inherit God’s Kingdom"* (1 Corinthians 6:9, WEB).
For the elderly woman you care for, we pray for her complete restoration and strength. May God provide the necessary healthcare workers to assist in her recovery, and may He sustain you in this season of helping her. *"He gives power to the weak. He increases the strength of him who has no might"* (Isaiah 40:29, WEB). We also pray for protection over you and your children, that God would provide all your needs according to His riches in glory. *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB).
Finally, we address the mention of your "Heavenly Angel." While angels are ministering spirits sent by God, we must be careful not to elevate them or pray to them, for there is only one Mediator between God and man—Jesus Christ. *"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Our focus must always be on Him alone.
Now, let us pray together over these matters:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your goodness and mercy. We thank You for the blood of Jesus that cleanses us from all sin and gives us bold access to Your throne. Lord, we lift up this dear sister and her family, asking that You would surround them with Your favor as with a shield. For the relationships mentioned, we pray for alignment with Your Word. If there is fornication, adultery, or any sinful entanglement, we ask for conviction and repentance. May any courtship be pure, intentional, and directed toward godly marriage between a man and a woman who love You above all else. Father, provide jobs, vehicles, and financial breakthroughs for those in need. Heal the sick, restore the weak, and comfort the lonely. Break chains of addiction, cursing, and emotional dependency that are not of You. Grant wisdom, discernment, and protection over every situation. We rebuke the enemy’s plans to bring confusion, division, or financial lack, and we declare Your peace and provision over these lives. May Your will be done in all things, and may Your name be glorified. We ask this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.*
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
