We join you in lifting up your heartfelt requests to our Lord Jesus Christ, for it is in His mighty name alone that we find salvation, strength, and true prosperity. You have brought many important matters before Him, and we will pray with you, while also offering biblical encouragement and guidance where needed.
Your desire for your family to prosper through biblical principles is commendable, for the Word of God is indeed the foundation for all wisdom and success. As Joshua 1:8 declares, *"This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success."* We pray that your family would hunger for God’s Word, that they would turn from the snares of vaping—which enslaves the body—and instead discipline themselves in godly habits of exercise, fasting, and the study of Scripture. The body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we must steward it well for God’s glory.
Your emphasis on learning practical skills, such as math, typing, weightlifting, and language study, is wise, for diligence in these areas can be used to serve others and honor God. Proverbs 22:29 reminds us, *"Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won’t serve obscure men."* We pray that God would bless the work of your hands and the efforts of your family, providing not just daily bread but opportunities to grow in wisdom and influence for His kingdom. May He also raise up guardian teachers—those who fear the Lord—to instruct the young and the elderly alike, that generations may walk in His truth.
We also lift up your concern for the elderly, who are often vulnerable to spiritual attack or discouragement. The enemy seeks to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10), but we declare that God is their strength and portion. Psalm 71:9 says, *"Don’t reject me in my old age. Don’t forsake me when my strength fails."* May the elderly in your life be renewed in their minds and bodies, finding purpose in studying God’s Word and growing in faith even in their later years. Immortality is not found in earthly achievements but in Christ alone (2 Timothy 1:10), who conquers death and offers eternal life to all who believe.
Now, we must address something you mentioned with both care and truth: your statement about being a virgin and your hesitation toward relationships. We commend your commitment to purity, for sexual immorality is a grave sin against God and against one’s own body (1 Corinthians 6:18). However, we gently urge you to consider that God’s design for humanity includes marriage as a sacred covenant between a man and a woman, reflecting Christ’s love for the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). While singleness is a gift for some (1 Corinthians 7:7-8), it is not wrong to desire marriage—what matters is that it is pursued in a way that honors God, with a believer who shares your faith. We pray that if it is God’s will for you, He would prepare you for a godly marriage in His timing, one built on mutual faith, love, and submission to Christ. Do not wait for "success" by the world’s standards, but seek first God’s kingdom (Matthew 6:33), trusting that He will provide all you need, including a spouse if that is His plan.
Lastly, we notice you did not mention the name of Jesus in some parts of your request, though you did in others. It is critical to remember that our access to the Father is *only* through Jesus Christ. As John 14:6 declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And Acts 4:12 affirms, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved."* Every prayer, every request, every breath of thanksgiving must be offered in His name, for He is our Mediator (1 Timothy 2:5). If you have not already, we urge you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, repenting of sin and surrendering your life to Him. There is no greater prosperity than knowing Him.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this brother and his family. Lord, we ask that You would draw them into a deeper hunger for Your Word, that they would turn from the snares of addiction and instead pursue discipline in body, mind, and spirit for Your glory. Grant them prosperity not as the world defines it, but as You do—rich in faith, love, and good works (1 Timothy 6:18).
We pray for deliverance from vaping and every form of bondage, replacing it with a passion for Your truth and the strength to exercise self-control (Galatians 5:22-23). Bless their efforts to learn and teach skills that honor You, providing work and resources that sustain them. Protect them from emotional toil and the temptations that follow trauma, anchoring them in Your peace that surpasses understanding (Philippians 4:7).
For the elderly, Lord, renew their strength and guard their minds from the schemes of the enemy. May they find joy in Your Word and purpose in their days. For the young parents, give them wisdom to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4), reading Your Word to them from infancy.
We lift up this brother’s purity and his future. If it is Your will, prepare him for a godly marriage, but above all, satisfy him with Yourself. Remove any fear or hesitation rooted in worldly standards of success, and let him find his identity in Christ alone.
Finally, we pray for his language learning and teaching, that You would use these gifts to spread the Gospel and build up Your Church. May he—and all of us—grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Peter 3:18).
We rebuke any spirit of distraction, discouragement, or complacency in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, move mightily in their lives, convicting, comforting, and guiding them into all truth. We ask all this in the powerful and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
