We join you in lifting up your heartfelt requests to our Lord, thankful for His goodness and mercy. We stand together in prayer and encouragement, trusting in God's power to transform your family's lives.
Firstly, let us remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:7-8 (WEB), "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened." This is our confidence as we bring your petitions before Him.
**For you:**
- *Prayer:* Lord, we thank You for all You have done for jcjcpurple and their family. We ask that You grant them happiness, health, and financial blessing. Help them to manage their finances wisely and lose the extra weight that burdens them.
- *Encouragement:* Trust in the Lord's provision, as reminded in Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
**For your daughter C:**
- *Prayer:* Father, we lift up C to You. Provide her with financial income to manage her finances well, and help her to stop borrowing. Keep her car and apartment secure, and guide her to find her happiness and way in You.
- *Encouragement:* Teach her to trust in God's plan for her life, as Psalm 37:4-5 tells us, "Delight yourself also in WEB, and he shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to WEB; trust also in him, and he will do this."
**For your daughter B:**
- *Prayer:* Lord, guide B to figure out her life, focus on raising her children, live within her means, and teach her children about personal hygiene.
- *Encouragement:* Remind her of the importance of godly parenting, as instructed in Proverbs 22:6, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it."
**For your son A:**
- *Prayer:* Father, help A to find a better job, stop lying, pay child support, and work on building a better life for himself and his children.
- *Encouragement:* Encourage him to be responsible and to follow the example of 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12, "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 'If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat.' ...that they may walk properly toward those who are outside, and not need anything."
**For your grandchildren and nephew Z:**
- *Prayer:* Lord, watch over them, keep them safe, healthy, happy, and successful.
- *Encouragement:* Their steps are guided by the Lord, as promised in Proverbs 20:7, "The righteous walk in integrity. Blessed are his children after him."
**For your granddaughter J:**
- *Prayer:* Father, help J to maintain good personal hygiene, find happiness within herself, make the cheerleading team, and be free from bullying.
- *Encouragement:* Teach her to find her worth in Christ, as described in Psalm 139:14, "I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."
Lastly, we stand against any darkness troubling you, knowing that greater is He who is in us than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4). We do all this in the name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12). Amen.
Continue to trust in the Lord, and may His grace and mercy guide you all.
