Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up the prayer request of Penington. We thank you for the opportunity to intercede on behalf of everyone on this site. Lord, we ask that you would hear and answer all the prayers that have been written down, according to your perfect will. We pray for those who are in need, that you would provide for them and meet them at their point of need.
Father, we specifically lift up those who are sick or in nursing homes. We ask for your healing touch upon their bodies and minds. Bring comfort, strength, and restoration to them, Lord. May they experience your presence and peace in the midst of their circumstances.
We also lift up Penington's prayer for their pastor and his family. Lord, we pray that you would fill him with the Holy Spirit of God. As he teaches your word, may the Spirit of the Lord fill the hearts of the congregation with peace and joy. Grant him wisdom, anointing, and a deep understanding of your truth. Strengthen his family and protect them from any attacks of the enemy. May they be a shining example of your love and grace.
In Jesus' name, we pray, believing that you are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. May your will be done in every situation, and may your name be glorified. Amen.
