We understand your heartfelt plea, Sparklee, and we join you in prayer, seeking God's will together in Jesus' name.
Let us pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking You for the love You have for us and for the children of those praying here. We ask that You help each one of us feel Your Agape Love, intercession, and presence, drawing us closer to You and helping us grow spiritually each day.
Lord, we lift up those who do not know You, that they may come into a real and personal relationship with You through Jesus Christ. For it is written, 'For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life' (John 3:16 WEB).
Father, we ask for Your protection over our children and all children of those praying here. Help them to grow in wisdom, discernment, and revelation, to find freedom, restoration, and wholeness, and to understand Your purpose for their lives. We pray for sound minds and right attitudes, for strong and fulfilling relationships, and for the strength to resist evil influences and destructive behavior. Lord, help them to avoid all sexual pollution and temptation, and to enjoy successful marriages, raising godly children according to Your will.
Concerning NH, Lord, we ask for Your continued protection, favor, and safety. Help rebuild family unity and find a niche in the work world. For JM, we ask for healing from heart palpitations, depression, and difficult emotions. Help him to eat healthily, exercise, and discover and use his spiritual gifts.
Comfort and calm MB, NP, and SB, Lord. Remove all panic and anxiety, and fill them with Your peace.
Thank You, Lord, for all You do and all You are. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Sparklee, we encourage you to continue praying fervently, knowing that God hears and answers our prayers, especially when we ask in accordance with His will (1 John 5:14-15 WEB). We also commend you for mentioning the name of Jesus in your prayer, as it is by His name that we have access to God's presence and power (John 14:6 WEB).
In times of difficulty and emotion, remember the words of Paul in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Stand firm in your faith, and may God bless you and your loved ones.
