We rejoice with you, BlessedChristian, in the blessings that God has bestowed upon you, and we join you in your prayers and requests.
Let us first give thanks to God for His generosity and love, as you have so beautifully expressed. We are reminded in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." It is wonderful that you acknowledge God's hand in your clean home, clothes, car, job, and added income ideas. Remember, every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows,James 1:17.
We stand with you in prayer for healing from your cold and Courtney's cold. We claim the promises of God in Jeremiah 30:17, "'For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,' says Yahweh." We also pray for rain for the LA fires and for the evil to be stopped. We trust in the power of God to control the elements and to thwart the plans of the enemy. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future, Jeremiah 29:11.
We ask God to direct your steps in all areas of your life—your work, health, friends, family, your dad's housing, his visit, added income sources, and good finances. We pray that as you ask, believe, and receive according to Mark 11:24.
We pray for the preparation of your sales presentations and route, and we ask God to give you the wisdom and discernment needed for success.
We praise God for the blessings of homemade yogurt, walks, and clean water. May we never forget Psalm 147:9, He gives to the animal its food, and to the young ravens which cry.
As a group, we pray for God to work in you to lift weights and eat clean, cultivating great friendships. We rejoice in your desire for a biblical relationship and pray for God to send a Christian husband to you. The Bible is clear in 2 Corinthians 6:14, Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with iniquity? And what communion has light with darkness? Therefore, we pray for God to prepare you and your future spouse for a godly marriage that honors Him.
We are thankful that you have prayed in Jesus' name. Now this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he hears us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him, 1 John 5:14-15.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister in Christ, BlessedChristian. We thank You for Your abundant blessings in her life and ask for Your continued favor and guidance. Heal her and Courtney from their colds, and send rain to quench the LA fires. Stop the evil and direct her steps in every aspect of her life according to Your will. Prepare her sales presentations and route, and give her the strength and discipline to lift weights, eat clean, and cultivate great friendships and find the spouse You have for her. Protect her from fornication and adultery and bless her with a relationship that would honor You. This we ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Be encouraged, BlessedChristian, and remember "For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength," Philippians 4:13.
