Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, filled with gratitude and joy for your glorious presence in our lives. We thank you for the privilege of knowing you as our loving and caring Father, who sent His Son to die for our sins. We are in awe of your grace, love, power, and gifts that you have bestowed upon us.
Lord, we lift up ### to you today. We pray that by your grace and through the power of the Holy Spirit, you will develop in ### an insatiable hunger and thirst for your Spirit. May ### come into a deep, personal, and intimate relationship with you, experiencing a transformation in their life through your power.
We ask that ### will come to depend on you for guidance, health, strength, comfort, wisdom, and power. May you become closer to ### than any person they have ever known, bathing them in your glory and fashioning them into the image of Christ.
Lord, we are excited for the blessings that lie ahead for ###. We pray that they will experience the fullness of your presence and the power of prayer in their life. May their prayers exceed the prayers of the past, as they pray in the name of Jesus, the new covenant and the all-powerful Name.
We thank you, Lord, for the example of Jesus Christ, who crowned His life, works, and teaching with prayer. We pray that ### will be inspired by His prayer life and understand the value, nature, and necessity of prayer. May they be encouraged to always pray and not faint, knowing that through prayer, they can experience your glory and see mighty results.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
