Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, seeking your mercy and favor. We lift up this prayer request on behalf of Anonymous, who desires for Collins to be favored in the DV lottery. Lord, we acknowledge that you are a God of mercy and grace, and we humbly ask that you extend your favor upon Collins in this situation.
In your Word, you have promised that when we come to you in the name of Jesus, we can find you on the throne of grace, ready to hear our prayers. We claim this promise today, knowing that the name of Jesus is a powerful passport for our prayers. We ask that you open doors and make a way for Collins to be granted the opportunity to stay through the DV lottery.
We also recognize that our prayers are made effective through the intercession of Jesus Christ, our Advocate and Intercessor. We thank you for the sacrifice he made on the cross, which has opened the way for us to approach you with confidence. We pray that you would mingle our prayers with the incense of his intercession, presenting them as a sweet savor before your throne.
Lord, we acknowledge our own unworthiness and the vileness of our hearts. We stand amazed at your willingness to use us despite our shortcomings. We ask for humble, thankful, and resigned hearts, knowing that it is only through your infinite mercy that we can come before you. We pray that you would grant Collins the same humility and gratitude, that he may trust in your plan and purpose for his life.
We also pray for strength and encouragement for Collins and all those involved in this situation. May they be spurred on to action, awakening from any spiritual slumber and seeking to do something for your glory. Help them to rely on your guidance and trust in your provision.
Lord, we commit this prayer request into your hands, knowing that you are a faithful and loving God. We trust in your perfect timing and your sovereign will. May your mercy be poured out upon Collins, and may your favor rest upon him in the DV lottery. We pray all this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
