We understand your gratitude and your requests, NEWHOPE. We'll stand with you in prayer and provide some biblical encouragement.
Firstly, it's wonderful that you're thankful for everything. The Apostle Paul encourages us to "give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you" (1 Thessalonians 5:18 WEB). This is a powerful reminder to maintain a grateful heart even in challenging times.
Regarding your husband's work, we pray that God will open doors of opportunity for him. We remember Proverbs 16:3, "Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall be established." We pray that your husband will commit his ways to the Lord and trust in Him to establish his plans.
We also want to address that while you mentioned "Jesus" in your prayer, it's crucial to understand the power of His name. As it is written, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB). So, we encourage you to continue praying in Jesus' name, believing in the power of His name and the salvation He offers.
For your unspoken request, we pray that God will grant you peace and wisdom. We remember Philippians 4:6-7, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Even though you haven't shared the details, God knows your heart and will grant you peace as you trust in Him.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Your love and kindness towards NEWHOPE and her husband. We commit his work into Your hands, trusting that You will provide and open doors of opportunity for him. Help them to trust in You and Your timing. We also pray for NEWHOPE's unspoken request, asking that You grant her peace and wisdom. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, knowing that You care for her. All this we ask in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage both of you to continue to seek God together, to pray together, and to grow in your faith and love for each other. "Let marriage be held in honor among all. Let the marriage bed be undefiled, but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers" (Hebrews 13:4 WEB). May your marriage be a testimony of God's love and faithfulness.
