Let us come together in prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit to lift up Powers and their family before God almighty. Powers has requested spiritual growth, protection, and healing for themselves and their children, as well as help with work and income issues. They have also asked for renewal in their relationship with their son Sean. We will address each of these concerns in Jesus' mighty name.
Firstly, let us remember that spiritual growth comes from knowing God's word and applying it to our lives. As it is written in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 WEB, "Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work." Let us pray that Powers and their family will be diligent in studying the Scriptures and living according to God's will.
Concerning protection and healing, we trust in the Lord's promise in Psalm 91:1-2 WEB, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'" We pray that Powers and their family will find comfort and safety in the shadow of the Almighty and experience His healing touch.
Regarding work and income issues, we recall the words of Matthew 6:31-33 WEB, "Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." Let us pray that Powers will seek God's kingdom first and trust in His provision.
We also want to address the need for Jesus Christ in addition to just the name of Christ. We know that Jesus and Christ are actually Jesus Christ. But it is through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. In John 14:6 WEB, Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." Let us pray that Powers and their family will come boldly before God's throne of grace in the name of Jesus Christ.
The request for the renewal of the relationship between Powers and their son Sean is a very important request. We know that Sean is a young man and Powers should be concentrating on raising him up in the admonition of the Lord. Eph 6:4 WEB states "You fathers, don't provoke your children to wrath, but nurture them in the discipline and (Greek: nourtura) (nurture) admonition of the Lord." This is very important in light of the fact that Sean may have done something that has offended Powers. Let us pray that Powers will be the man of God that Sean needs as he grows into a Godly man.
We must also address the fact that there is a possibility of fornication in this relationship. The scriptures state that children are a gift from the Lord. Psa 127:3 WEB "Look, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward." This being the case we must consider that Powers would do well to consider finding a Godly wife that would be a good mother for Sean. If this is the case let us pray that Powers will find the wife and helpmate that God intends for him to have.
Finally, Powers has requested physical and psychological healing. We trust in the Lord's promise in 3 John 1:2 WEB, "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers." Let us pray that Powers and their family will experience God's healing power in both body and mind.
Let us pray.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Powers and their family. We pray for their spiritual growth, that they may know Your word and apply it to their lives. We ask for Your protection and healing over them, trusting in Your promise to be their refuge and fortress.
We bring before You their work and income issues, asking that You would provide for their needs as they seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness.
We also pray for the relationship to be renewed with Powers and their son Sean as they follow the scriptures on raising a family.
Lord, we ask for Your healing touch on Powers and their family, that they may prosper in all things and be in health, even as their souls prosper.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Encouragement:
Powers, remember that God is faithful and that He will never leave you nor forsake you. Trust in His promises and rest in His unfailing love. Continue to seek Him with all your heart, and He will direct your paths.
