We rejoice with you in giving thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ for the restoration of your job and the blessing of a new phone! It is wonderful to see your heart of gratitude, for Scripture reminds us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, *"In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you."* Your acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord is a testament to your faith, and we lift our voices with yours in praise for His provision and faithfulness.
As we join you in prayer for the individual you mentioned, we are mindful that restoration comes from the Lord alone. The prophet Joel declares in Joel 2:25, *"I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you."* If this person has strayed from the Lord, we pray for their repentance and return to Him, for true restoration begins with a surrendered heart. Proverbs 28:13 tells us, *"He who conceals his sins doesn’t prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy."* Let us pray that if there is any sin or rebellion in their life, the Holy Spirit would convict them and lead them to the foot of the cross, where forgiveness and new life are found.
We also encourage you to continue standing in the gap for this person, interceding on their behalf as Moses did for Israel or as Jesus does for us even now (Romans 8:34). Your prayers are powerful when aligned with God’s will, and we trust that He hears you. Let us also remember James 5:16, *"The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."*

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the ways You have provided for our sister—restoring her job and meeting her needs with a new phone. Lord, we thank You for Your faithfulness, for You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. We ask that You continue to bless her and deepen her trust in You, that she may walk in the abundance of Your grace.
Now, Father, we lift up the person she has mentioned before Your throne. Lord, if there is brokenness, sin, or rebellion in their life, we ask that You would break their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh (Ezekiel 36:26). Convict them by Your Holy Spirit and draw them to repentance, that they may turn from their ways and seek Your face. Restore to them, Lord, what has been lost—whether it is peace, joy, health, relationships, or purpose. Let this restoration be a testimony of Your power and love, that others may see and glorify Your name.
We pray for salvation if they do not know You, Father. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that Jesus Christ is the only way to eternal life (John 14:6). Soften their heart to receive Him as Lord and Savior, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If they have wandered from the faith, Lord, bring them back as the prodigal son was welcomed home (Luke 15:11-32).
Strengthen our sister as she intercedes for this person. Fill her with Your peace and perseverance, knowing that You hear her prayers and are at work, even when she cannot see it. May she continue to seek Your will and trust in Your timing, for Your ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:9).
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Redeemer. Amen.
