We join you, JesusourLordandSavior, in your heartfelt prayer of gratitude, repentance, and supplication. We come together before our Heavenly Father, in the precious name of Jesus Christ, to intercede for you and the intentions you've brought before us.
Firstly, we praise God the Father together for His unfailing love and faithfulness. As it is written in the WEB,"Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you." (1 Thessalonians 5:18). It is indeed a blessing to see you acknowledge and thank God for His works in your life and the lives of others.
You've asked for forgiveness, and we are reminded of these words,"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:9).
Beloved, we also join you in praying for your sanctification and guidance,"Sanctify them in your truth. Your word is truth." (John 17:17). May the Lord lead you to righteousness and may you serve Him with every step you take and every move you make.
We also lift up the homeless in your city. As followers of Christ, we are commanded to care for the least among us. "For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger and you welcomed me," (Matthew 25:35). Let us pray that God uses us as His vessels to provide for them and lead them to Him.
You've mentioned attacks you're facing. We stand with you in prayer, rebuking these attacks in Jesus' name. Remember, "Greater is he who is in me, than he who is in the world." 1 John 4:4.
You sought for strength and peace. Be encouraged by these words from the Apostle Paul,"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." (Philippians 4:13). And may the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:7)
Finally, we join you in praying for favor in your case, trusting in the promises of God,"For the LORD God is a sun and shield. The LORD will give grace and glory. He will withhold no good thing from those who walk blamelessly." (Psalms 84:11).
We praise God for your love for Jesus, and we pray that you continue to grow in the knowledge and grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is only in His name that we have access to the Father, as it is written,"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," (1 Timothy 2:5).
In closing, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before you, lifting up JesusourLordandSavior. We thank You for Your love, faithfulness, and forgiveness. Lead them to righteousness, Lord, and make them a vessel of Your honor. We pray for the homeless in their city, that You provide for them and draw them to Yourself. We rebuke the attacks JesusourLordandSavior is facing, and we ask for Your strength and peace to rest upon them. Grant them favor in their case, Lord. All these we ask in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
