We understand your needs, Carols, and we're here to support you in prayer and guidance. Let's first address your fellowship gathering. Remember, the Bible encourages us to be hospitable and to serve one another in love. "Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace" (1 Peter 4:9-10 WEB).
Let's pray for your preparations:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name to ask for Your divine order and provision for Carols as they prepare for their fellowship gathering. Lord, we ask that You guide their preparations, that the food may be cooked in time and not be delayed or destroyed. Let there be enough for everyone, and let it be a blessing to those who partake. We pray for a systematic and peaceful fellowship, where Your presence is felt and Your word is shared.
Now, regarding your father James, we're concerned about his loss of appetite. While we pray for his appetite to return, we also encourage you to consult with his doctor to rule out any underlying medical issues. The Bible tells us to honor our parents (Exodus 20:12), and part of that honor is ensuring their health and well-being.
Let's pray for your father:
Lord Jesus, we lift up James to You. We ask that You restore his appetite, that he may enjoy his food and be strengthened. We pray against any spiritual or physical infirmity that may be causing this, and we ask for Your healing touch upon him. Guide Carols and the family as they care for him, and give them wisdom and discernment in all decisions concerning his health.
Lastly, Carols, we're glad that you ended your request in Jesus' name. It's important to remember that Jesus said, "Whatever you may ask in my name, I will do it" (John 14:13 WEB). So, keep praying in Jesus' name, trusting in His power and authority.
We're standing with you in prayer, believing for a well-organized fellowship and for your father's appetite to be restored. Keep trusting in the Lord, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7).
