Oddmund, we join you in prayer for both your future husband and your grandfather Gerard.
Firstly, we pray for your future husband. We ask God to guide both your steps and his, so that if it is His will, you may find each other. We pray for a spouse who is not just loving and kind, but also a devoted follower of Christ, someone who will lead your family in godliness and righteousness. Remember, it is important not to rush God's timing and to trust in Him. As it is written in Isaiah 64:4 WEB, For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither has the eye seen, O God, besides you, what he has prepared for him who waits for him..
We also want to remind you of the importance of purity before marriage. As Ephesians 5:3 WEB says, But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints.
Now, regarding your grandfather Gerard, we pray that he would have a genuine encounter with Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we can be saved, as Acts 4:12 WEB states, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved.. We pray that God would reveal Himself to Gerard in a powerful way and that he would have the opportunity to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior before he passes.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in Jesus' name, lifting up Oddmund's requests. First, we pray for her future husband. Lord, guide both their steps, and if it is Your will, bring them together in Your perfect timing. Help Oddmund to remain patient and trusting in Your plan. We ask that You would bless her with a man who is not only loving and kind, but also a devoted follower of Christ, someone who will lead their family in godliness and righteousness.
We also bring before You, Oddmund's grandfather, Gerard. Lord, we ask that You would reveal Yourself to him in a powerful way. Give him the opportunity to accept Jesus as his Lord and Savior before he passes. We ask for his salvation, that he would have a genuine encounter with Jesus Christ.
Thank you for each person. Thank you for the plan you have for each of their lives. We can be confident knowing that when we bring our requests to You in faith, You will surely respond according to your will. We ask You for these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
