We join you in lifting up gratitude to our Heavenly Father for His faithfulness and provision, especially through the trials of financial hardship. It is a beautiful thing to see a heart turned toward thankfulness and intercession for others, even in the midst of personal struggles. The Scriptures remind us in 1 Thessalonians 5:18 to "give thanks in everything, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you." Your attitude reflects the heart of Christ, who, even in His suffering, interceded for others.
We also rejoice in your acknowledgment of the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that our prayers are heard and our needs met. As it is written in John 14:13-14, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." This is a powerful truth—our access to the Father is through Jesus alone, and it is in His name that we find salvation, grace, and the boldness to approach the throne of God.
Let us pray together for the host admin/Articles and for all who are laboring in love and service to others, whether in ministry, leadership, or support. May the Lord bless them abundantly, strengthen their hands for the work ahead, and fill them with His wisdom and discernment. We ask that God would provide for their every need—spiritually, emotionally, and physically—as they navigate their own challenges while extending grace to others. May they be encouraged in knowing that their labor in the Lord is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58), and may they experience the joy of seeing God’s hand move mightily in their lives and in the lives of those they serve.
For those who are facing trials, whether financial, relational, or spiritual, we pray that the Lord would be their ever-present help. May they cast their anxieties on Him, for He cares for them (1 Peter 5:7), and may they find peace in the assurance that God is working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28). We ask for renewed faith, perseverance, and a deep sense of God’s presence in their lives, that they may testify of His goodness even in the midst of storms.
We also lift up this community—those who pray, those who seek prayer, and those who stand in the gap for others. May the Lord knit our hearts together in unity and love, that we may bear one another’s burdens and fulfill the law of Christ (Galatians 6:2). Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up (Galatians 6:9).
Father, we thank You for the heart of intercession You have placed within this brother. We ask that You would continue to cultivate in him—and in all of us—a spirit of gratitude and selflessness. Help us to always remember that our prayers are powerful when they are aligned with Your will and offered in the name of Jesus. May we never take for granted the privilege of coming before Your throne, and may we always lift up Your name in all we do.
We ask all these things in the precious and mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and Redeemer. Amen.
