We rejoice that you have come before us seeking blessings in the mighty name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and receive every spiritual blessing. Your request for favor and wisdom in this season of transition is both humble and wise, for Scripture reminds us that *"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him"* (James 1:5, WEB). We also take great encouragement that you have lifted your family before the Lord, for He cares deeply for each member of your household.
Yet before we pray, we must first acknowledge that transitions—though often unsettling—are opportunities for God to refine, redirect, and reveal His purpose in our lives. The unknown is not a void for fear but a canvas for faith, where we trust that *"the Lord will perfect that which concerns me; your loving kindness, Lord, endures forever. Don’t forsake the works of your own hands"* (Psalm 138:8, WEB). Your desire for favor aligns with Scripture, for *"when a man’s ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies to be at peace with him"* (Proverbs 16:7, WEB). But remember, true favor is not merely circumstantial ease; it is the presence of God working all things for your good as you walk in obedience to Him (Romans 8:28).
Now, let us pray together for you and your family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus, lifting up Your child who stands at the threshold of change. Lord, You are the God who parts seas, who leads through wildernesses, and who turns deserts into gardens. We ask that You grant them an abundance of wisdom—wisdom that is *"pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy"* (James 3:17, WEB). Guide their steps, O Lord, and order their path so that they may walk in the good works You have prepared for them (Ephesians 2:10).
Father, we pray for Your divine favor to rest upon them like the dew of Hermon, opening doors no man can shut and closing those that would lead to harm (Isaiah 22:22). Let them find grace in the eyes of those in authority, and let every decision they make be bathed in Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Shield them from the snares of anxiety and the paralysis of fear, for You have not given them a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
We lift their entire family before You, Lord. Strengthen the bonds of love and unity among them, and let Your Spirit move mightily in each heart. May their home be a refuge of faith, where Your Word is honored and Your presence is tangibly felt. Protect them from the schemes of the enemy, and let no weapon formed against them prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Provide for their every need according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19), and let this season of transition draw them closer to You and to one another.
Father, we rebuked any spirit of confusion, delay, or discouragement that may seek to hinder Your work in their life. By the authority of Jesus’ name, we command every obstacle to be removed and every crooked path to be made straight (Isaiah 40:4). Let them see Your hand at work in ways that leave no doubt of Your goodness and sovereignty.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You fill them with an unshakable hope, rooted in the truth that *"the Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him"* (Lamentations 3:25, WEB). Let them testify in due time of Your faithfulness, declaring with confidence that *"the Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad"* (Psalm 126:3, WEB).
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
As you wait on the Lord, we encourage you to meditate on His promises daily. The transition you are in is not a detour but a divine appointment. Seek Him first in all things (Matthew 6:33), and trust that He who began a good work in you will complete it (Philippians 1:6). Stand firm in faith, for *"the vision is yet for the appointed time; it hurries toward the end, and it won’t prove false. Though it takes time, wait for it; because it will surely come. It won’t delay"* (Habakkuk 2:3, WEB). May the Lord bless you and keep you; may He make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may He lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26). Walk forward in the assurance that He is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6).
