We join you in lifting up thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father for His faithfulness, His presence in your life and the lives of your family through the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is beautiful to see your heart of gratitude and intercession for so many, and we echo your prayers with our own, standing in agreement for God’s will to be done in each of these situations.
First, we rejoice with you in praying for Israel and the Jewish people, for God’s promises to them are everlasting. The land of Israel is indeed a heritage given by the Lord, and we declare His protection and peace over Jerusalem, as Scripture declares: *"Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. May those who love you prosper. Peace be within your walls, and prosperity within your palaces."* (Psalm 122:6-7, WEB). We ask the Lord to strengthen His people, to thwart the plans of the enemy, and to bring salvation to many in Israel, that they may recognize Jesus as their Messiah. *"I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who treats you with contempt. All the families of the earth will be blessed through you."* (Genesis 12:3, WEB).
For America, we cry out for revival and repentance, that this nation would turn back to the Lord Jesus Christ in truth and obedience. *"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."* (2 Chronicles 7:14, WEB). May the Church rise up in boldness, and may the Gospel go forth in power, transforming hearts and minds for His glory.
We lift up those you’ve mentioned who are facing health struggles—those recovering from dental surgery and those battling sickness, including the sinus infection. Our God is Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord who heals. *"He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."* (Psalm 147:3, WEB). We ask for complete restoration, strength, and divine health to flow through their bodies. May they experience His healing touch and be made whole, giving Him all the glory.
Regarding the couple you mentioned, we pray for their recovery and their future. However, we must gently but firmly address something critical: marriage is a sacred covenant before God, designed for one man and one woman for life (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:4-6). If this couple is not yet married, we urge them to pursue holiness and wait upon the Lord for His timing. *"Flee sexual immorality! ‘Every sin that a man does is outside the body,’ but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). If they are living together or engaged in any form of intimacy outside of marriage, we rebuke this in the name of Jesus and call them to repentance. God’s design for intimacy is within the bounds of marriage alone, and His blessings flow when we obey His Word. We pray that if they are not yet married, they would seek the Lord first, ensure they are equally yoked in Christ (2 Corinthians 6:14), and pursue marriage biblically—honoring God in their relationship. If they are already married, we pray for unity, joy, and the blessing of children in the Lord’s perfect timing.
For those seeking employment—whether the plumber hoping for better wages, the man needing his driver’s license to secure work, or the one waiting for payment from a temp job—we declare God’s provision. *"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 ask the Lord to open doors no man can shut, to provide fair wages, and to grant favor in every effort. May they find work that not only meets their needs but also allows them to be a light for Christ in their workplaces.
For the young woman striving to graduate at the top of her class, we pray for clarity of mind, strength, and divine wisdom. *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him."* (James 1:5, WEB). May the Lord restore her health and grant her the energy and focus to excel in her studies, bringing honor to His name.
Now, we must address the situation you described regarding the man in your life. Sister, we hear your heart’s cry, but we must speak truth in love. Your words reveal a deep emotional attachment, and possibly an unhealthy dependency on this man’s attention and affection. You mentioned, *"I wanna be with him,"* and expressed frustration that he doesn’t seem to reciprocate your feelings or efforts. This is a dangerous place to be, especially if this relationship is not centered on Christ or aligned with biblical principles. Let us ask you: Is this man a believer? Are you both seeking the Lord first in this relationship, or is your focus on your own desires? *"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).
If this man is not pursuing you with the intent of marriage—or worse, if he is leading you on without commitment—this is not a relationship that honors God. *"Flee from sexual immorality! All other sins that people do are outside their bodies, but those who sin sexually sin against their own bodies."* (1 Corinthians 6:18, WEB). Even if there is no physical intimacy, emotional attachment outside of a godly, marriage-focused courtship can be just as damaging. You cannot "prove" your love to him through texts or calls; love is proven through actions that honor God, not through chasing after someone who is not reciprocating or leading you toward Christ.
We urge you to step back and seek the Lord’s will above all else. Ask yourself: Is this relationship drawing you closer to Jesus, or is it causing anxiety, distraction, or emotional turmoil? If it is the latter, it is not from the Lord. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* (Psalm 37:4, WEB). Your desire should first and foremost be for Christ. If this man is not pursuing you in a way that aligns with Scripture—with clarity, commitment, and a shared faith—then you must release this to the Lord and trust Him. *"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).
If you are struggling with loneliness or a desire for companionship, we encourage you to bring this to Jesus. He is the only One who can truly satisfy your heart. *"My soul, praise Yahweh! All that is within me, praise his holy name! Praise Yahweh, my soul, and don’t forget all his benefits"* (Psalm 103:1-2, WEB). Seek fellowship with other believers, serve in your church, and allow the Lord to prepare you for the spouse He has for you—if that is His will. But do not settle for less than God’s best, and do not chase after someone who is not chasing after Christ.
For the son who is caring for his elderly mother, we pray for patience, humility, and a servant’s heart. *"Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which Yahweh your God gives you."* (Exodus 20:12, WEB). May the Lord soften his heart to attend to her needs with kindness and respect, even in his weariness.
Regarding the vehicle you’re waiting on, we pray for the Lord’s favor and swift resolution. *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday."* (Psalm 37:5-6, WEB). May the title and tag come easily, and may this vehicle serve as a blessing for His glory.
Finally, we lift up your mother and all those you’ve mentioned on this platform. May the Lord surround them with His peace, protection, and provision. We thank you for praying in the name of Jesus—there is no other name by which we are saved, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. *"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 powerful when they are aligned with His will and offered in the name of Jesus.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for Your faithfulness. You are the God who hears, who sees, and who acts on behalf of Your children. We thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ, and for the presence of the Holy Spirit who guides and comforts us.
Lord, we lift up Israel and the Jewish people. Protect them, O God, and let Your peace reign in Jerusalem. Raise up a standard against the enemy, and bring many in Israel to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. For America, we pray for repentance and revival. Turn the hearts of Your people back to You, and let Your Gospel spread mightily across this land.
Father, we ask for healing for those who are sick—restore their bodies, renew their strength, and let them testify of Your goodness. For those seeking employment, open doors of opportunity and provide fair wages. Grant wisdom and favor in every endeavor.
Lord, we pray for the young woman studying—give her clarity, focus, and divine health to excel in her education. For the son caring for his mother, soften his heart and grant him patience and strength.
Father, we intercede for our sister who is struggling with her feelings for this man. Lord, reveal Your will to her clearly. If this relationship is not of You, give her the strength to let go and trust You. Fill the void in her heart with Your love, and surround her with godly community. If it is Your will for her to be in a relationship, let it be with a man who loves You wholeheartedly and pursues her with purity and commitment. Prepare her to be a wife who honors You, and let her wait upon You for Your perfect timing.
We pray for the resolution of the vehicle situation and for all the other needs mentioned. You are our Provider, and we trust You to meet every need according to Your riches in glory.
Finally, Lord, we thank You for the privilege of praying in the name of Jesus. There is no other name by which we can be saved, and we declare that Jesus Christ is Lord over every situation mentioned here today. Let Your will be done, and let Your kingdom come in each of these lives.
In the mighty and precious name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
