We join with you, Sparklee, in lifting up these precious prayers, seeking God's will together in Jesus' name.
Firstly, we echo your call for Agape Love, intercession, and God's presence in our midst. As it is written in 1 John 4:7-8 (WEB), "Beloved, let’s love one another, for love is of God; and everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. He who doesn’t love doesn’t know God, for God is love."
We pray for all those who don't know God, that they may enter into a real relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. There is no other name by which we can be saved, as Acts 4:12 (WEB) reminds us, "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!"
We lift up our children and the children of all those praying here. We ask for Your protection, Lord, and that they may grow in wisdom, discernment, and revelation. We pray they find freedom, restoration, and wholeness, understanding Your purpose for their lives. We ask that You give them a sound mind and a right attitude, that they may maintain strong and fulfilling relationships. We rebuke any evil influences and destructive behavior in their lives, and pray they avoid all sexual pollution and temptation, that they may enjoy a successful marriage and raise Godly children in the future.
Concerning NH, we pray for continued protection, favor, and safety. We ask that You help rebuild family unity and find a niche in the work world.
For JM, we pray for healing from heart palpitations, depression, and difficult emotions. We ask that You help him to eat healthy and exercise, and that he may see and exercise his spiritual gifting. Remembering 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (WEB), "Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s."
We pray for comfort and calm for EE, AM, AF, MB, NP, and SB. We ask that You remove all panic, anxiety, and give them Your peace, as Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB) encourages, "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."
We give You all praise and thanksgiving, Lord, in Jesus' name. Amen.
