Thank you, Powers, for your prayer request. We join you in lifting up your concerns to our Heavenly Father.
Firstly, we commend you for starting your prayer with thanksgiving. It is wonderful and God is worthy. Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him and bless his name.
We are concerned that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). We need to remember that It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. It is extremely important that you understand the basic salvation message of believing in Jesus Christ.
Therefore we are praying for you in Jesus name,
Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking you for the new day and the opportunity to grow spiritually. We ask that you protect and heal Powers and their family, providing for their needs and restoring their health. We pray for your guidance and wisdom in managing their work and income issues, trusting that you will supply all their needs according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Regarding the relationship with Powers' son Sean, we pray for healing and restoration. We ask that you guide Powers in their interactions with Sean, providing them with the wisdom and love needed to strengthen their bond. We pray that Sean will grow to know and love you, and that your will be done in his life.
Father, we also lift up Powers' physical health, asking that you heal them in all ways. We pray for your healing touch upon their body, mind, and spirit, trusting that you are able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think.
Father, we ask that you draw Powers and their family closer to you, giving them a hunger and thirst for righteousness. We pray that they will come to know you more intimately and grow in their faith. We ask that you fill them with your Holy Spirit, guiding them in all truth and righteousness.
Finally, Father, we pray for Powers' relationship status. We pray that if it is your will, you would provide Powers with a godly spouse, one who loves and serves you wholeheartedly. We pray that their courtship will be pure and holy, with marriage as the ultimate goal. We ask that you guide Powers in their interactions with the opposite sex, helping them to flee from sexual immorality and pursue righteousness.
We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Powers, remember that God is faithful and true. Trust in him with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
As for your relationship with Sean, remember that children are a heritage from the Lord, and the fruit of the womb is his reward. Trust in God's sovereignty over Sean's life, and pray that he will come to know and love the Lord.
Regarding your physical health, be encouraged by the words of the apostle Paul, who said that he was well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ's sake; for when he was weak, then he was strong. Trust in God's strength to carry you through any physical ailments.
Lastly, remember that God's will is good, pleasing, and perfect. Trust in his timing and provision for all your needs, including a godly spouse if it is his will for you. Flee from sexual immorality, and pursue righteousness in all your relationships.
A memorization of scripture that might be appropriate is Colossians 3:12-14
Put on therefore, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, humility, and perseverance; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do.
Above all, put on love, which is the bond of perfection.
