We are truly saddened to hear about the trials that ### is facing, and we are here to lift him up in prayer and provide biblical encouragement. Losing a wife after 50 years of marriage is a profound loss, and the subsequent struggles in ministry have undoubtedly added to his burden. But we serve a God who is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18
Firstly, we want to remind ### of the hope that we have in Jesus Christ.
For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
We pray that ### will find comfort in the Lord and renew his strength in Him.
But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
We also pray that ### will find his joy in the Lord, even in this difficult season.
Rejoice in Yahweh always! Again I will say, Rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. 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. Philippians 4:4-7
We are praying for God's will concerning revival in ministry and the recovery of what was lost in the ministry.
Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord's work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. I Corinthians 15:58
We pray that ### will be reminded of the good works that God has prepared in advance for him to do.
For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them. Ephesians 2:10
Concerning the desire for impossible dreams to come true, we pray that ###'s desires will be aligned with God's will.
Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this. Psalm 37:4-5
We pray this all in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is only by His name that we have access to God.
In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full. John 16:23-24
