We join with you in bringing these burdens before our Father and we thank you for coming in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the throne of grace.
We hear the weight of these financial concerns and the fear over your husband's job and health, and the hope you carry for your son. We are reminded of the promise in Philippians 4:19, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. And in Matthew 6:33, But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Our Father knows what you need before you ask and He cares deeply for your family.
We understand your prayer for at least 8 more years of stability and provision, and we bring that desire before the Lord while also surrendering to His perfect will and timing. We are encouraged to trust Him with the future as it says in Proverbs 3:5-6, 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. And in 1 Peter 5:7, casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
We also lift up your husband's disability issues before the Great Physician. We pray for strength, healing according to God's will, and grace for each day. We remember Psalm 55:22, Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved.
For your son and the promised promotion, we commit his work into the Lord's hands. We pray that if this promotion is in accordance with God's will and for his good, that the Lord will open that door, and that your son would find favor and walk in integrity. As it says in Proverbs 16:3, Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. And in Colossians 3:23, Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus and we lift this family to You. Lord, You see the financial pressures they are facing and we ask for Your provision and Your peace. Give them wisdom to steward what You have provided and calm their hearts with the assurance that You are their provider. We ask for Your hand of protection over her husband's job, that You would secure his employment if it is Your will, and let no weapon formed against him prosper. We pray for his body, for relief from disability and pain, for healing and endurance, and for Your strength to sustain him daily. Father, we ask for Your favor upon their son, that You would guide his steps and if it be Your will, bring about the promotion that has been promised, that he may use it to glorify You and provide well. Above all, Lord, we surrender this request for eight more years into Your sovereign hands, trusting that Your plans are good and that You will supply all that is needed for as long as You have ordained. Grant this family peace that surpasses understanding as they cast their cares on You. We ask all these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to seek Him daily in prayer and in His Word, to remain faithful in thanksgiving even in uncertainty, and to trust that He who has been faithful will remain faithful. As Psalm 37:25 says, I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread. Keep your eyes on Him, and He will sustain you.
