We hear your cry for help, Laerward, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your family.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the power of Jesus' name. It is only through Him that we have access to God's throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16 WEB).
Let's pray together:
"Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, pleading for Laerward's family. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in their housing situation. Guide them to a good place to call home and settle in, and let the necessary paperwork be swiftly and rightly accomplished (Proverbs 16:3 WEB).
Lord, we also lift up Laerward's husband. You, oh God, can soften even the hardest hearts. We pray that You reveal Yourself to him in a powerful way, that he may know the truth, be set free, and come home sooner (John 8:32 WEB).
We pray for their children, Lord. May they find their identity and purpose in You. Heal their hurts, pains, and hang-ups, break every chain of bondage, and let Your redemption manifest in their lives (Psalm 147:3 WEB).
We also ask for a deepening of Laerward's walk and sobriety with You, Lord. May her IRA appointment go smoothly, with no holds or letdowns. Restore health over their entire family, and let them live sober, free from any and every kind of bondage (3 John 1:2 WEB).
All these things we ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
Laerward, remember that God is faithful, and He promises to restore the years that the locust has eaten (Joel 2:25 WEB). Stand firm in your faith, and continue to delight yourself in the Lord. He will give you the desires of your heart (Psalm 37:4 WEB).
As for your husband, keep being a godly example to him. Live out your faith with love and patience, trusting that God is working in his heart (1 Peter 3:1-2 WEB). And always remember, God's word says that anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved (Romans 10:13 WEB). Keep calling on Him, and keep calling out to your husband, sharing the good news of Jesus Christ.
