Trials: Hear Jesus Jn 10:3, Pray James 5:13, Worship Acts 16:25, Study 2Tim2:15, Meet Pressing Needs Tit 3:4, Write 2Tim 4:13, Evangelize 1Thes2:2-13

[Nochaeld]

Father, thank You "through perseverance and encouragement of the Scriptures we have hope," Rom 15:4. In the midst of suffering, James 5:13 says, "let us pray," as Jesus taught, "we ought always to pray and not lose heart," Luke 18:1. So we supplicate, "You who spared not Your Only Begotten Son, John 3:16, but with Him graciously give us all things," Rom 8:32, Help us study to show ourselves approved, 2 Tim 2:15, meet pressing needs, read, listen to and receive wisdom from good biblical counseling material and the godly advice of friends and pastors, Ps 23:3, write and share prayers and teachings that benefit ourselves and others -- and may trials NOT HINDER the ADVANCEMENT of The GOSPEL of The KINGDOM of JESUS, 1 Thes 2:2, but rather let it SPREAD with LOVE, POWER AND CONVICTION and be received as it is -- the actual WORD of GOD for SALVATION, not coming from man, Rom 1:16, 2 Thes 2:13, Unto YOUR NAME be GLORY, Ps 115:1.

Give Your angels charge over my wife, son, me, our pastors and all of you my prayer partners (including all their and your families), Ps 91:9-10, 11-12, 13-14, 15-16. Sanctify us in the Truth, Your Word is Truth, John 17:17. May we clearly hear Your voice, John 10:27, being constantly led by The Holy Spirit (as adopted children with the same Father as Jesus and each other), Rom 8:14, and MOSTLY obeying Your voice, even if it's difficult or costs us something, Gen 22:16-18; 2 Sam 24:24. Keep us all from all sin, Zeph 3:13, temptation, evil, evil people and the evil one, Luke 11:4, Matt 6:13, 2 Thes 3:2-3, John 17:15 -- keep deception and lies far from us, Prov 30:8.

Again, allow trials to draw us, our families, friends, readers, prayer and financial partners closer to You in prayer, James 5:13 and trials, Acts 16:25. Help us read, memorize and apply The Bible, Ps 119:11, with understanding, Lk 24:45, and application, James 1:21-22. Help me worship like Paul and Silas in the Philippian jail, Acts 16:25. Help us fast the fast You have chosen, to loose bondages, set the oppressed free and restore righteous dwellings and covenantal relationships, Isa 58:6-12. Help us count trials as joy, James 1:2. Thank You in Jesus' Name.

We hear your earnest cry for strength, wisdom, and protection in the midst of trials, and we stand with you in agreement before the throne of grace. Your prayer is rooted in Scripture, and we rejoice in your commitment to seek God’s will through His Word. Let us first affirm that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, for He Himself declared, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me" (John 14:6). There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and it is by His blood alone that we are reconciled to God (Ephesians 2:13).

We lift up your family, your wife, son, pastors, and all who stand with you in prayer, before the Lord, asking Him to encamp His angels around you as He promised in Psalm 91:11-12: "For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone." May the Lord sanctify you in His truth, for His Word is truth (John 17:17), and may you hear His voice clearly, as Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" (John 10:27). Obedience to His voice, even when it is costly, brings blessing, as Abraham and David discovered (Genesis 22:16-18; 2 Samuel 24:24).

We rebuke every scheme of the evil one that seeks to steal, kill, or destroy (John 10:10) and pray that God would keep you from all sin, temptation, and deception (Zephaniah 3:13; Proverbs 30:8). The enemy may roar like a lion, but we resist him, steadfast in the faith (1 Peter 5:8-9). We declare that trials will not hinder the advancement of the Gospel but will instead serve as a testimony to God’s power and faithfulness. As Paul wrote, "But we have this treasure in clay vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves. We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair; pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed; always carrying in the body the putting to death of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body" (2 Corinthians 4:7-10).

Let us count it all joy when we encounter trials, knowing that the testing of our faith produces endurance (James 1:2-3). Like Paul and Silas, may we worship in the midst of suffering, for our God is enthroned on the praises of His people (Acts 16:25; Psalm 22:3). We pray that you would fast the fast God has chosen, to loose the bonds of wickedness, undo the straps of the yoke, let the oppressed go free, and break every yoke (Isaiah 58:6). May your fasting and prayer restore righteousness and covenantal relationships, as God promises in Isaiah 58:12: "Those from among you will rebuild the old waste places. You will raise up the foundations of many generations. You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Paths with Dwellings."

We also lift up your desire to study God’s Word diligently, for "All Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:16-17). May the Holy Spirit open your eyes to understand the Scriptures (Luke 24:45) and give you the grace to apply them to your life (James 1:22). Let your writing and sharing of prayers and teachings be a fragrant offering to the Lord, edifying the body of Christ and drawing others to Him.

Father, we thank You for the hope we have through the perseverance and encouragement of the Scriptures (Romans 15:4). We ask that You would strengthen this family and all who stand with them, that they may not grow weary in doing good (Galatians 6:9). May the Gospel spread with love, power, and conviction, not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the Word of God (1 Thessalonians 2:13). Let Your name be glorified in all things (Psalm 115:1), and may Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

In Jesus’ mighty name we pray, Amen.

Oh Lord, we come before You with hearts full of longing to see Your strength move in this family’s life. You’ve already shown them the way through Your Word, how Jesus is the Good Shepherd who guides us through trials (John 10:3), how James calls us to pray in every season (James 5:13), and how even in chains, Paul and Silas worshiped You (Acts 16:25). We ask now that You would make Your presence so real in their daily walk that every step feels like walking in Your truth.

Help them to hear You, not just with their ears, but with their whole being. Like Moses, may they see Your glory in the midst of their struggles (Exodus 33:18-23), and like David, may they delight in Your Word as their hidden treasure (Psalm 119:11). When the world feels heavy, remind them that You are the One who holds their future (Jeremiah 29:11), and that every trial is refining them for Your purpose.

We lift up their hands for provision, may You meet their pressing needs in ways that draw them closer to You. And Lord, when they feel the weight of writing, teaching, or sharing Your Word, give them courage. Like Paul, may their words be seasoned with salt, pointing others to Christ (Colossians 4:6). And when they fast, may it be a hunger for Your heart, not just their own (Isaiah 58:6).

Most of all, Father, we pray that Your angels would encamp around this family like a wall of fire (Psalm 34:7), guarding them from every lie, temptation, and attack. When the enemy tries to steal their joy or distract them from Your truth, let Your light shine so brightly that they can’t help but point others to You.

We claim Your promise that trials won’t hinder the Gospel, rather, they’ll spread it with love and power (1 Thessalonians 2:2). Let this family’s story be one that testifies to Your faithfulness, even when the path is hard.

In Jesus’ name, we trust You to do far more than we ask. Amen.

Amen. Father please help them and as it pertains also us and all others in need. Thank you and praise you. In Jesus name. Amen
