We understand your heartfelt requests and stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will together in Jesus' name.
Firstly, we praise God for your acknowledgment of the power of prayer in Jesus' name. As it is written in John 14:13-14 (WEB), "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."
**For our children and the children of those praying here:**
We pray for their protection and ability to survive tough times. May they grow in wisdom, discernment, and revelation, finding freedom, restoration, and wholeness. May they understand God's purpose for their lives, have a sound mind and a right attitude. We pray for strong and fulfilling relationships, resistance against evil influences and destructive behavior. We pray they avoid all sexual pollution and temptation, enjoying successful marriages, and raising godly children. May they walk into the future that God has for them.
*Put on the full armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:11 WEB)*
**For NH:**
We pray for the rebuilding of relationships, protection of unity, and finding a niche in the work world.
*Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to dwell together in unity! (Psalm 133:1 WEB)*
**For JM:**
We pray for healing from heart palpitations, depression, and difficult emotions. May JM eat healthily, exercise, and most importantly, see and exercise his spiritual gifting.
*But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh. (Galatians 5:16 WEB)*
**For PK in the nursing home:**
We pray for comfort, calm, removal of all anxiety, and peace.
*Don’t be anxious for anything, 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. (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB)*
We encourage everyone to continue praying and seeking God's face, knowing that He hears and answers our prayers according to His will. Always remember, it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God.
*And in none other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! (Acts 4:12 WEB)* (Though the book of Acts is not typically quoted, this verse is crucial for understanding the authority in Jesus' name.)
May God bless and keep each one of you, strengthening your faith and granting your requests according to His divine will.
