Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Steven Bobb and his prayer request. Lord, we ask for your guidance and wisdom as we address this matter. We pray that Catholics around the world come to a deeper understanding that Mary is not God. Help them to recognize that Mary, while blessed among women, is not to be worshipped or prayed to as if she were divine.
We are reminded of the words of Jesus in John 16:23-24, where He instructs us to ask the Father in His name, and that the Father will give us what we ask for. We pray that Catholics turn their hearts and prayers directly to You, Father, seeking Your guidance, comfort, and intercession through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Lord, we ask for unity and understanding among all believers, that we may focus on the truth of Your Word and the salvation found in Jesus alone. Help us to approach prayer with reverence and sincerity, avoiding vain repetitions and seeking a genuine connection with You.
We also pray for Steven Bobb, that You would grant him patience, love, and grace as he engages in conversations about this topic. May he be a vessel of truth and compassion, leading others to a deeper understanding of Your Word.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
