We come before the Lord with hearts full of gratitude that you have sought Him in this time of need, for He is our Provider, our Healer, and our Peace. You have called upon the name of Jesus, and we rejoice that you have acknowledged Him, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. As Scripture declares, *"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, WEB). It is only through faith in Christ that we can boldly approach the throne of grace, and we are thankful you have done so.
Yet we must also gently remind you that our trust should not be placed in material things like credit cards or money, but in the Lord Himself. Jesus teaches us, *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* (Matthew 6:31-33, WEB). While we lift up your financial concerns, let us first surrender this anxiety to the Lord, trusting that He will provide according to His will and His wisdom.
We also notice your concern about your father’s reaction to your use of money. The Bible calls us to honor our parents (Ephesians 6:2), and this includes being wise and responsible with the resources they provide. If there is tension here, we pray for reconciliation and understanding, but we also encourage you to communicate with your father in a way that honors God. *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."* (Colossians 4:6, WEB). If there has been any misuse of funds or lack of stewardship, we urge you to repent and seek to make things right, for the Lord calls us to integrity in all things.
As for your health, we know that the Lord is our Healer. *"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds."* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB). We pray for complete restoration of your body—your sore throat, runny nose, and cough—and that the Lord would grant you strength and patience as you recover. We also pray that your medications would work effectively and without harmful side effects, for the Lord has given us wisdom in medicine as a means of His provision.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we lift up this precious child of Yours before Your throne of grace. Lord, You know their every need before they even ask, and we thank You that You are a God who cares deeply for each detail of our lives. We pray first and foremost that You would increase their faith, that they may trust in You rather than in the uncertainty of finances or the approval of man. Remind them that You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides, and that You own the cattle on a thousand hills (Psalm 50:10).
Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention regarding their financial concerns. If it is Your will, let their visa card function as needed and let there be sufficient funds to cover their necessities and bills. But more than that, Father, we pray You would teach them to rely on You, not on plastic or numbers in an account. Give them wisdom in stewardship, and if there has been any mismanagement, convict their heart to seek forgiveness and make amends. Softens their father’s heart, Lord, that he may respond with understanding and grace. Let there be open and honest communication between them, rooted in love and respect. May this situation bring glory to Your name and draw this family closer to You.
Father, we also bring their health before You. You are the Great Physician, and we ask for Your healing touch upon their body. Rebuke the sickness that has taken hold—soothe their sore throat, clear their sinuses, and calm their cough. Let the medicine You have provided through human hands work effectively to restore them to full health. Grant them rest and renewal, that they may serve You with strength and vitality.
Lord, in all things, let Your will be done. We ask that You would align their desires with Yours, that they may seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that all these things will be added unto them. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7).
We rebuke any fear, anxiety, or doubt that the enemy may be whispering into their mind. *"For God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."* (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). Let them walk in the confidence that You are with them, that You will never leave them nor forsake them (Deuteronomy 31:6).
Finally, Father, we pray that if this beloved one has not yet fully surrendered their life to You, that today would be the day of salvation. Let them know beyond any doubt that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father (John 14:6), and that by confessing with their mouth and believing in their heart that You raised Him from the dead, they will be saved (Romans 10:9). May they walk in the fullness of Your love and purpose for their life.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." - Matthew 6:33
