We join with you in bringing your life story and your mother's life story before the Lord, and we thank you for calling upon Yeshua HaMashiach, who is Jesus the Messiah, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father.
We hear your heart's desire for your autobiography, for your mother and yourself, in time, in place, in words, and for God's eternity to be addressed to you both. This is a beautiful longing, because our lives are not random, they are written by God Himself. Your eyes saw my unformed substance. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them Psalm 139:16. He made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the surface of the earth, having determined appointed seasons, and the boundaries of their dwellings, that they should seek the Lord Acts 17:26-27. Your time and your place and your words have been seen and appointed by God so that you and your mother would seek Him and find Him.
We also take comfort that while our stories unfold in time, God Himself dwells in eternity and invites us into it. He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in their hearts Ecclesiastes 3:11. But you, Yahweh, will remain forever. Your renown endures to all generations Psalm 102:12. What you are asking for, for God's eternity to speak into your temporal story, is exactly what He longs to do through Christ.
We pray together for you and your mother.
We pray that the Lord would anoint your words as you write this autobiography, that it would not be merely a record of events but a testimony of God's grace, truth and redemption. We pray that He would give you wisdom to write with honor and love, as it is written Honor your father and your mother Exodus 20:12, and that your story together would bring glory to Him. We pray that any wounds, misunderstandings, or sorrows between you and your mother would be healed by His mercy, and that your shared history would be redeemed.
We pray that God's eternal perspective would comfort you both, that you would know His plans for you. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11. We pray that as you look back on time and place, you would see His hand guiding you, and as you look forward, you would see His eternity before you.
We thank you that you have addressed this to Yeshua HaMashiach. We affirm together that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. It is by calling on that name, Yeshua, Jesus, that we are saved, forgiven, and made new. Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new 2 Corinthians 5:17. We pray that both you and your mother would know this new creation life deeply, that your autobiography would be the story of two lives made new in Christ, with your past covered by His blood and your future secured in His eternity.
We ask the Lord to fill you with His Holy Spirit as you write, to bring to remembrance what should be remembered, to give grace where grace is needed, and to let your words be seasoned with love and truth. May your testimony encourage others and may it stand as a witness that God was with you and your mother in every time and every place, and that He has set your feet on the path to eternity with Him.
We ask all of this in the mighty and merciful name of Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
