Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up James and his prayer request for peace, joy, happiness, and a clear mind. We thank you for the reminder in Philippians 4:6-7 that we can bring all our requests to you through prayer and supplication with thanksgiving. We acknowledge that true happiness and contentment can only be found in a right relationship with you.
Father, we ask that you grant James a deep sense of peace that surpasses all understanding. May your peace guard his heart and mind in Christ Jesus, shielding him from anxiety, worry, and fear. Help him to cast all his cares upon you, knowing that you care for him .
We also pray for an overflowing joy to fill James' heart. May he experience the joy of your salvation and the joy that comes from knowing you intimately. Help him to delight himself in you, Lord, so that you may grant him the desires of his heart .
Furthermore, we ask for happiness to be a by-product of James' personal relationship with you. May he find true happiness in seeking your kingdom and your righteousness above all else. Help him to trust that as he seeks you first, all other things will be added unto him .
Lastly, we pray for a clear and focused mind for James. Grant him wisdom, discernment, and understanding as he navigates through life's challenges. Help him to approve things that are excellent and to be sincere and without offense until the day of Christ .
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for your faithfulness to answer according to your perfect will. May James experience the peace, joy, happiness, and clarity of mind that can only come from you. In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
