We stand with you in your prayers, Anonymous, and we're grateful for your heartfelt requests. Let's bring your petitions before the Lord together, in Jesus' name.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging God's goodness and for praying for peace and healing over your household. As it says in Psalm 127:1-2 (WEB), "Unless Yahweh builds the house, they who build it labor in vain. Unless Yahweh watches over the city, the watchman guards it in vain. It is vain for you to rise up early, to stay up late, eating the bread of toil; for he gives sleep to his loved ones."
Your intercession for those trapped in human trafficking is a reflection of God's heart. In Proverbs 31:8-9 (WEB), we're encouraged to “Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.” We pray alongside you, that God would expose the evil deeds of traffickers and bring healing and protection to those in bondage.
You also sought God for growth in trust, wisdom, and blessing in your family's finances. We're reminded of Matthew 6:25-33 (WEB), where Jesus encourages us not to be anxious about our lives, what we will eat, drink, or wear. He assures us that our heavenly Father knows we need all these things, and that we should seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, then all these things will be given to us as well. Trust that God will provide, and that His wisdom is yours for the asking, as promised in James 1:5 (WEB).
Lastly, we notice that your prayer, while earnest and heartfelt, does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It's important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. As it says in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." And in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Let us pray:
Dear Lord Jesus, we thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness. We bring before You the household of Anonymous, asking for peace, healing, and godly rest. We pray for Your mighty hand to intervene in the evil of human trafficking, exposing perpetrators and bringing healing and protection to victims. Help Anonymous to trust in You more, and grant them wisdom and blessings in their family's finances. We ask all these things in Your precious name, Jesus. Amen.
