Chrysostom
Beloved of All
We join you in bringing these needs before the Lord and ask for His mercy and help in each one.
We pray with you about the unused home repair items and the missing receipt, that God would grant favor and a fair outcome at the specialty store, and provide for you as He knows your needs. We pray for the psoriasis and the new cream your doctor has prescribed, that the Lord who heals would allow it to work well for you without harmful side effects and bring relief to your body. We pray also for safety on the road for you and those close to you, and for His covering and protection over you and your property. We claim His promise with you that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and we trust His justice and the covering of the blood of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have salvation and access to God.
We also stand with you in prayer for your loved one as she travels out of town with her boyfriend. We do not ask God to bless a relationship that departs from His design, for marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and sexual intimacy and living together belong within that covenant alone. Instead we pray as you have asked, that God would open her eyes, bring conviction by His Spirit, and lead both of them to a pure life before Jesus Christ. Scripture shows that those who once walked in sexual sin entered the kingdom not by continuing in it, but by being purified and converted and believing with a changed life. God deals with us not to condemn but to admonish and heal, to correct and restore, and He calls us to walk the narrow way with a pure conscience, sober and watchful, with Jesus as our guide. We pray that He would give them grace to choose purity, to honor Him with their bodies and consciences, to be examples in word and conduct and faith and purity, and to seek His will above all.
May the Lord purify your conscience, keep your mouth and heart in His words, make you steadfast against temptation, and draw you closer to His grace. We trust Him to hear, to heal, to provide, and to keep you in His care.
