We join you in prayer, seeking God's forgiveness and intervention in these matters. Firstly, we are thankful that you acknowledged the name of Jesus Christ, as it is only by His name that we have access to God. As Scripture tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved" Acts 4:12 WEB.
Let us pray together. Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your forgiveness for the things that have occurred in the past few years. We trust in Your mercy, knowing 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 WEB.
We lift up the colleague of the dad of the person who submitted this request, and ask that You soften his heart. Whatever the need may be, we pray that You reveal Yourself to him and save him if necessary. Extend this salvation to his family and those in their lives, Lord. We stand on Your promise that "whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved" Romans 10:13 WEB.
We pray for those who have received financial assistance, that they may be blessed with a willingness to work hard, and also understand and be willing to follow what You say in 2 Thessalonians 3:10 WEB, "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 'If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat.'".
We lift up the brothers and all working people, both locally and internationally, asking that You bless them with a willingness to work. We remember Your word, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might" Ecclesiastes 9:10 WEB.
Lastly, we ask for forgiveness for the four things mentioned. We trust in Your promise, "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 WEB.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, amen.
