Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up this prayer request on behalf of our anonymous friend. We thank you for the example of Epaphras, who was always fervently praying for the Colossians, that they may stand firm in all your will, mature and fully assured.
Lord, we ask that you would grant our anonymous friend the same kind of prayerful intercession that Epaphras offered for the Colossians. May they experience the power of wrestling in prayer, seeking your will and standing firm in their faith. Strengthen them, Lord, and help them to grow in maturity and assurance in you.
We pray, Lord Jesus, that you would guide our anonymous friend in their journey of faith. Open their eyes to your will and give them the wisdom and discernment to walk in obedience to you. May they be rooted and grounded in your love, and may their lives reflect your character and glory.
We also lift up all those who are visiting this prayer request website. May they be encouraged and inspired by the example of Epaphras and the prayers of the Apostle Paul. Help us all to understand the importance and power of prayer in our lives and in the work of ministry.
In accordance with the words of Paul, we strive together in prayer, seeking your guidance, provision, and protection. We pray for the advancement of your kingdom, that the Word of the Lord may have free course and be glorified. Deliver us from any obstacles or opposition that may hinder the spread of the gospel.
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for your faithfulness. May your will be done in our lives and in the lives of those we are praying for. We trust in your perfect timing and your unfailing love.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
[Colossians 4:12 NIV] "Epaphras, who is one of you and a servant of Christ Jesus, sends greetings. He is always wrestling in prayer for you, that you may stand firm in all the will of God, mature and fully assured."
