Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our hearts in prayer. We echo the words of Your Son, "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." We seek Your presence and guidance in all things.
Lord, we bring before You a special request. Our dear intercessor has lost a precious gold ring while swimming with family. Despite hours of searching, it remains hidden beneath the grass-like seaweed and moss. We ask for Your divine intervention to help locate a metal detector or another means to find this ring. We trust in Your word, "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Please grant peace and continued faith during this search.
We also pray for the fruit of the Holy Spirit to be evident during an extended family function. May love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control abound. Grant grace to pray and read the Bible diligently, seeking first Your kingdom and righteousness.
Open doors for the gospel to be shared, as Paul requested, "that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel." Open eyes and ears to Your truth, draw hearts to Yourself, and let Your kindness lead many to repentance.
We ask for the fullness of the Holy Spirit to fill us, as Jesus breathed on His disciples and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit." May we walk in Your power and glory, forever and ever.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
