We join you in lifting up your co-residents before the Lord, trusting that His perfect will shall be done in their lives. It is wonderful that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your request, for it is only through Him that we can approach the throne of grace with confidence. As Scripture reminds us, *"This is the confidence which we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him"* (1 John 5:14-15, WEB).
We pray that God would open their hearts to receive His truth, His love, and His transforming power. May they come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior if they have not already, for *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If they are believers, we ask that the Lord would strengthen their faith, fill them with His Spirit, and guide their steps in righteousness. May they walk in obedience to His Word, seeking first His Kingdom in all things.
We also pray for unity among you, that you would encourage one another in love and good works, *"not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching"* (Hebrews 10:25, WEB). May your home be a place where God’s peace reigns, where His wisdom is sought, and where His name is glorified.
Father in heaven, we lift up these co-residents before You, asking that Your will be done in their lives. Draw them closer to You, Lord, and let Your light shine brightly in their hearts. Remove any obstacles that hinder them from walking in Your truth, and surround them with Your grace and mercy. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, that they may bear fruit that honors You—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
We also pray for our brother/sister who has brought this request. Strengthen them to be a witness of Your love and truth among their co-residents. Give them wisdom, discernment, and boldness to speak Your Word in season and out of season. May they be a vessel of Your peace and righteousness in that home.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
