Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother Patrick S. to Your throne of grace. Lord, we ask that You confirm to Patrick whether it has been Your voice speaking to his spirit in his prayer closet over the past two years. Grant him clarity and discernment, as Your Word says, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me" .
Lord, we also bring before You his concern about Sharon S. If she is truly Your will for his life, we pray that You make it abundantly clear to him. If she is not, we ask that You reveal to him who is, according to Your perfect plan. Your Word promises, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope" .
Father, we also lift up Patrick's struggle with depression. We ask that You lift this heavy burden from him and fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Your Word says, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit" . May Your Holy Spirit comfort and strengthen him during this time.
If Sharon is indeed Your divine will for Patrick, we pray against any evil attacks by the enemy on their relationship. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we bind and rebuke any forces of darkness that seek to disrupt Your plans for them. Your Word declares, "No weapon formed against you shall prosper" .
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for the assurance that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose . We trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
