We join you in thanksgiving to our Father and we lift your requests before Him together in Jesus' name. We hear your heart of faith and gratitude for His provision, protection, and power to enlarge your territory as Jabez prayed, Oh that you would bless me indeed, and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me, 1 Chronicles 4:10, and we rejoice that you ended your prayer with not my will but Your will be done, for that is the heart God desires.
We want to gently encourage you with the Word concerning some of the language in your prayer. We are thankful for your desire for provision, promotion, and debt freedom, and we do pray for God's provision and for the work of your hands. Yet Scripture calls us to seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well, Matthew 6:33, and to keep our lives free from the love of money and to be content with what we have, for he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you, Hebrews 13:5. The love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, 1 Timothy 6:10, and while God does bless and provide, Philippians 4:19 tells us My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus, which is a promise for our needs more than for massive wealth or abundance for its own sake. We pray that your desire for an ocean front home, massive bank accounts, and increased income would be submitted fully to Him, that He would give you stewardship, diligence, and contentment, and that whatever He provides would be used for His glory and to be generous on every occasion, 2 Corinthians 9:11. We also pray for your debts and what you owe, that God would give you wisdom and discipline to owe no one anything, except to love one another, Romans 13:8, and to be faithful in paying what is due, for the wicked borrow, and don't pay back, but the righteous give generously, Psalm 37:21. We pray for favor regarding the IRS and for your account to be protected as you walk in honesty and responsibility, rendering to all their dues, Romans 13:7.
We also want to lovingly address the phrase light worker. In Scripture we are not called light workers in the new age sense, but children of light and servants of Christ. You are the light of the world, Matthew 5:14, and You were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, Ephesians 5:8. Our identity is as redeemed servants and saints, chosen to be holy and to proclaim His excellencies, 1 Peter 2:9, and we rest in His protection as we dwell in the secret place of the Most High, Psalm 91:1.
We agree with you for protection over you and your family, for no weapon that is formed against you will prevail, Isaiah 54:17, and for the truth that Yahweh will fight for you, and you shall be still, Exodus 14:14. We agree that the Lord can make you the head, and not the tail, and you shall be above only, and not beneath, if you listen to His commandments, Deuteronomy 28:13, not by our declaration alone but by walking in obedience to Him. We pray that your work and your routes would be established by Him, Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed, Proverbs 16:3, and that your hours and pay would be provided according to His will and for your good.
We lift up the loved one you mentioned who is facing court. We pray for God's mercy, justice, and intervention in that situation, and that God's will would be done regarding any release. We pray above all for true transformation, for if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation, 2 Corinthians 5:17, and Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, Romans 12:2. We agree with you in praying that every addiction, greed, spirit of lies and lust would be removed from him, and we know that if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness, 1 John 1:9, and that those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts, Galatians 5:24. We pray for his genuine repentance, deliverance, and a changed life that bears fruit in keeping with repentance, Matthew 3:8.
We thank You, Father, together in Jesus' name, for You are our shelter and our help. We ask for Your grace, mercy, goodness, forgiveness, guidance, wisdom, knowledge, strength, and faith to be poured out on this dear one and on the loved one mentioned. We ask that You would provide for every need, give wisdom to manage finances faithfully, protect from all harm, command Your angels to guard them, Psalm 91:11, vindicate according to Your righteousness, and work all things together for good for those who love You, Romans 8:28. Let Your will be done in their job, their income, their home, their debts, and in the courtroom. Draw both of them closer to Jesus, for Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me, John 14:6, and 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, Acts 4:12. We thank You that we can come boldly through Christ alone. We ask this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
