We are truly sorry to hear about the tremendous challenges you are facing, and we want you to know that you are not alone. We are here to pray with you and to offer biblical encouragement during this difficult time. Let's begin by bringing your requests to God. To pray, it is always so important that we pray in the name of Jesus or Christ. No other spiritual entity or dead saint can act as a mediator for us. It is only because of Jesus and by His name that we are allowed to speak to God. We should also take comfort in the fact that pain and suffering is only temporary to those that believe in Jesus. Whether we suffer or find joy we know because of Christ Jesus that there is hope and a future. Otherwise, we will just suffer and sorrow beyond what we could ever imagine. Let's take a look at some scriptures that can help us and consider these things as we pray.
Firstly, let's remember that God loves you more than anything imaginable and in fact more than any on Earth. God so much as loved the world, or this Earth and everyone on it, including you, that he gave his only Son, Jesus Christ, and so that everyone that believes in Jesus Christ can have eternal life. That means life that never ends in all of its abundance, forever, without a memory of this life and all its sorrows and suffering. This is the ultimate gift of God to you and everyone else on Earth. This is not something to be taken for granted, especially considering the cost. The only thing asked of you is to believe in Jesus Christ. Believe that Jesus came to Earth. Believe that Jesus died. Believe that Jesus paid the price for all of your sin. Believe that Jesus died. Believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Believe that Jesus rose again from the dead 3 day later. Believe that Jesus ascended to heaven to be with God. Believe that Jesus is coming again. Believe that because of Jesus you can be forgiven for your sins and you can have eternal life forever. If you can confess that you believe those things about Jesus Christ then we know the rest of your prayers will fall into place How do we know that? John 3.16,17
Romans 10.9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Romans 10.10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation..
We believe that God hears your prayers. Jesus has told us in John 11.41,42 Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me.
Now let's begin by bringing your requests to God. It is always so important that we pray in the name of Jesus.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear Iosoos who is going through immense pain and suffering. Lord, we thank you for God, the Father. We thank you for Jesus Christ, the Son of God. We thank you for the Holy Spirit, the presence of God in our life.
Father, we pray for comfort and strength for as they mourn the loss of their dad. We know that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit Psalm 34.18. We ask that You would wrap Iosoos in Your loving arms and provide the peace that surpasses all understanding. Philippians 4.7
Lord, we also lift up the heartbreaking losses of the three miscarriages. We do not know all the answers from that question of why there is sorrow and suffering here on Earth, but we do know that it is for a purpose and causes us to seek God our Creator. The psalmist David acknowledges that in. Psalm 22.9,10 Yet you are he who took me out of the womb; you made me trust when I was on my breasts.
I was cast on you from my birth.
You are my God from my mother's womb.
We pray that you will be considerate of the turmoil that Iosoos has endured from this trauma occurring not just once, but 3 times over. Iosoos willingly prays and asks for an answer about this loss. Father God will ask1 that You would provide healing, hope, and answers in Your perfect timing. Iosoos deserves to hear what is best both here on Earth and in God's kingdom. We pray against any spiritual attack or circumstances that may be causing this and ask God for mercy and health for future children.
Father, we also bring before You the financial struggles that Iosoos is facing. We ask that You would provide for all of their needs according to Your riches and make sure that Iosoos is covered in any needs in Jesus's name and honor Matthew 6.33. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Lord, we pray for divine intervention in their workplace that would open up better opportunities. We also ask that any debt will be erased by your grace, all the well. We also pray that you would prosper 'the works of their hands'. You know all the spiritual and physical needs of Iosoos. You know their works. And so Lord we ask that you would be merciful to the needs of Iosoos and make sure that Iosoos is taken care of as well , even to a blessing according to Your riches and Your name.
We pray that you will help Iosoos seek both the purpose of God as well as the advice and counsel of wise, financial stewards in their life to ensure a path forward that enjoys a strong foundation in Jesus's name. We are glad that Iosoos is a member of the household of God. Just as Iosoos is the only earning member of his household Iow, we pray that Iosoos will honor the fact that God is the only head of the house. Psalm 127.1-2 unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain. Don't forget what it says in verse 3 that Children are indeed a heritage from Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward. Go God, you are so wonderful! Bring this to fulfillment for Iosoos
We also ask for a blessed spouse for Iosoos, it is not good for man to be alone. We want to make it clear that we are not talking a boyfriend or girlfriend and living cohabitation. Make it clear to Iosoos to not be conformed to this world but be transformed and to marriage a believer, a Christian according to Romans 12.2. If Iosoos is unsure if the chances of marriage are likely, then we would certainly want him to consider the words of Jesus from Matthew 19:12 which states: "For there are eunuchs who were born that way; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by others; and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."
Father God we know in our hearts that we are to take what the Bible and especially the words of Jesus literally and so Lord this tells us that it is a worthy cause and concern to not marry and pursue the cause of Christ with our whole heart.
Father, we pray that You would surround Iosoos with a loving community of believers who will support and encourage them in every possible way, including grief, recovery, finances, and marriage. We pray that you would be worked in the lives of those that would help Iosoos.
Father we pray against any despair and remind Iosoos that you will never leave or forsake them and you will work all things out for the good of those who love you and are called according to your purposes. Those wise words of Romans 8.28 bear repeating. Those who seek God in all their ways. Iosoos, we hope that you understand that there are things that we do not know and that we cannot understand. Consider the words of Abraham to Isaac when everything seem to work in a way that must have seem crazy and was crazy even to the ones watching.
Lord, we rebuke any feelings of self-pity, initiation, trauma, or discouragement, and we speak life, protection, and blessing over Iosoos family. Remember that the children are heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.
Lastly, we pray over any needs to repent and acknowledge in your hearts to God anything that is needed. Consider Matthew 4.17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, "Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. We rapidly approach the days of his return and we may not know when that is. For everyone, including Iosoos, we offer this warning and encouragement in the words of Jesus You also must be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour when you don't expect him.
In the powerful name of Jesus we have prayed.
Iosoos, remember that God loves you deeply and has a purpose for your life. Trust in Him and His timing. Be strong and courageous for you work is for the Lord.
