Thank You for Daily Mercies and Faithfulness, Lam 3:23, For Salvation, Edification of Former Things, Rom 10:1, 2 Tim 3:15, Focus on God, Ourselves, Our Teaching, 1 Tim 4:16, Grace for Duties, Tit 3:14, and Especially Grace to Shift Main Focus to New Things Isa 42:9, Care for The Flock Among Us, Acts 20:1, Grace to Do Both Ecc 7:18, Open Doors Gospel, Rev 3:7-8...

Our Father in Heaven, Thank You for meeting all our needs up until present and continuing to do the same, surely Your Merciful Devotion to Your People is daily and Your Great Faithfulness an ever-present certainty amidst an ever changing life and world, Lam 3:23. Firstly, our prayer and private devotion and study even need those mercies, the ability to care for ourselves, our teaching and those You have in a way put under our care requires Your Spirit's inspiration, 1 Tim 4:16, Grace to Pray for Former and Present Relationships' Salvation and enrichment, Rom 10:1, Yet Abundant Grace Focus New Things Isa 42:9, even to be on guard for ourselves and the flock of God Your placed under our charge, Acts 20:28-31.

We ask abundant mercy and grace to Do Both Ecc 7:18, Open the Heavens for Prayer and Study, Open Doors for Evangelism, Fellowship and Counseling Rev 3:7-8... So thank You for what has been accomplished this far, 1 Sam 7:12, for time in worship, prayer and listening to the Word, souls, seeds, travel, transportation, finances, lodging and all the prayers You've answered and more, Eph 3:20. Thank You especially for the quiet, inexpensive, accommodating boarding, Acts 28:30-31, close to my aging patriarchal and matriarchal figures, and ask You give them assistance in practical and spiritual matters and allow me to further Your work in their lives along the same line, even with some godly company showing piety at home, 1 Tim 5:4, giving honor to whom honor is due, Rom 13:7, Eph 6:2-3.

We ask for grace to take hold of one thing without letting go of the other, Ecclesiastes 7:18, to continue to intercede for my distant matrimonial's full, authentic repentance to life and full trust in Christ and be regenerated, and the prodigy to be saved early, Rom 10:1, and protected and directed into the love and character of Jesus Christ, nourished on Your Word), 2 Tim 3:15, Yet ability to PRIMARILY FOCUS on THE NEW, Isa 42:9, Isa 43:19, Isa 48:6.

So we ask You open a door for Heaven, Nearness, and doors to express the overflow of the Holy Spirit to Bible Studies, Prayer Meetings and for the lost to hear the Gospel, kindly work while we keep still, Exodus 14:14, and empower us to glorify You, to image God, which were it possible, we would not ask and trust You for it. I ask for grace to set all things in order, Tit 1:5, strengthen and finish each task, Rev 3:2, and meet every pressing need, Tit 3:14.

Help our running to be in a way that we might win, 1 Cor 9:24, forgetting what lies behind and pressing toward the upward call, Phil 3:13-14, laying aside encumbrances and diversions that distract us from the primary task of Your call and commission to abide in Your Word and make disciples by propagating all You've commanded, that we might run the race that is personally set out before each of us, Heb 12:1-2... Thank You for the Your love and leadership, the fellowship of abiding in Christ and guidance of The Holy Spirit, John 10:3-4, Rom 8:14, grace to intercede for the past AND for new evangelism, encouragement, discipleship, fellowship with The Body and Bride of Christ, and formal study, Ecclesiastes 7:18. We ask for protection from temptation, Luke 11:4, sin, Zeph 3:13, evil, Matt 6:13, evil people, 2 Thes 3:2, and the evil one, John 17:15. Thank You in Jesus' Name...

We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of gratitude for God’s daily mercies and faithfulness, just as Lamentations 3:23 declares, "They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness." Your Word reminds us that every good and perfect gift comes from above, and we thank You for sustaining us thus far in prayer, study, and service. We acknowledge that apart from Christ, we can do nothing, and so we rely entirely on Your strength and wisdom to fulfill the duties You have called us to.

Father, we lift up the matter of the former relationship mentioned here, particularly the plea for a "matrimonial’s full, authentic repentance to life and full trust in Christ." We pray fervently for this soul, that their heart would be softened by the Holy Spirit to recognize their need for salvation through Jesus Christ alone. Romans 10:1 says, "Brothers, my heart’s desire and my prayer to God is for Israel, that they may be saved." We echo this prayer, asking that this individual would come to a saving knowledge of the truth, be regenerated by the Spirit, and walk in newness of life. We also pray for the prodigy mentioned, that they would be shielded from the deceptions of this world and nurtured in the fear and admonition of the Lord, as 2 Timothy 3:15 instructs, "From infancy, you have known the holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus."

Yet we also recognize the tension in this request—the desire to hold onto intercession for the past while shifting focus to the new things You are doing. Isaiah 42:9 says, "Behold, the former things have happened, and I declare new things. Before they spring forth, I tell you of them." Father, grant wisdom to know how to balance these responsibilities. Ecclesiastes 7:18 warns against extremes, saying, "It is good that you should take hold of this, and also not withdraw your hand from that; for he who fears God will escape from them all." We ask for grace to intercede for the lost while not being consumed by the past, but rather pressing forward into the work You have prepared for us.

We pray for open doors for the Gospel, as Revelation 3:7-8 promises, "He who opens, and no one can shut; and who shuts, and no one opens... I have set before you an open door, which no one can shut." Father, may Your Spirit move mightily in Bible studies, prayer meetings, and evangelistic opportunities. Give us boldness to proclaim Christ crucified and risen, and wisdom to disciple those You bring into our path. We ask for protection from distractions, temptations, and the schemes of the evil one, as we are reminded in 1 Corinthians 9:24 to run in such a way as to win the prize. Help us to forget what lies behind and strain forward to what lies ahead, as Philippians 3:13-14 encourages.

We also lift up the practical needs mentioned—aging patriarchs and matriarchs, lodging, and the call to set things in order. We ask for grace to honor our fathers and mothers, as Ephesians 6:2-3 commands, and to be a blessing to them in both spiritual and practical ways. Provide strength to fulfill every task, as Titus 1:5 instructs, "I left you in Crete for this reason, that you would set in order the things that are lacking." May we be faithful stewards of the time, resources, and relationships You have entrusted to us.

Finally, we rebuke any spirit of complacency or idolatry that would cause us to cling to the past at the expense of God’s present calling. We declare that our sufficiency is in Christ alone, and we submit every concern to Him, trusting that He who began a good work in us will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ (Philippians 1:6). May our lives be a living testimony to Your grace, and may we run with endurance the race set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:1-2).

In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray. Amen.

We join you in lifting up these petitions to our Heavenly Father. Indeed, His mercies are new every morning, and we thank Him for His faithfulness. As we consider the former relationship, let us remember the words of Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Let us intercede for healing, wholeness, and a renewed sense of purpose for those involved.

We also echo your prayer for the prodigal, that they may find their way back to the Father's loving embrace. Let us recall the parable in Luke 15, where the father ran to meet his prodigal son and welcomed him home. May the Father's love be manifest in the life of this prodigal, drawing them back to Him.

As we shift our focus to new things, let us be reminded of the words in Isaiah 43:18-19, "Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland." Let us trust the Lord with the past and press on to what He has for us today.

We also join you in praying for open doors for the Gospel, as promised in Revelation 3:7-8. May the Lord give us boldness to proclaim the Good News and wisdom to disciple those He brings into our lives. Let us be reminded of the words in 2 Timothy 2:2, "And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men, who will be able to teach others also."

Lastly, let us not forget the practical needs mentioned. We pray for wisdom and grace to honor our elders and be a blessing to them, as commanded in Ephesians 6:2-3. We also ask for strength to fulfill every task set before us, as instructed in Titus 1:5.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
