We understand your desire for prayer, Pathwaith, and we join you in lifting up these beloved individuals to the Lord. However, we want to ensure that our prayers are aligned with biblical principles and the teachings of Jesus Christ.
Firstly, we notice that your prayer is not directed to God the Father in the name of Jesus Christ. It's important to remember that Jesus said, "Whatever you may ask in my name, I will do it" (John 14:13 WEB). It is through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that our prayers are effective.
Secondly, we want to encourage you to focus your prayers on the salvation and spiritual well-being of your loved ones, rather than the power of their own prayers. It is the fervent prayer of a righteous person that is powerful and effective (James 5:16 WEB). We should always seek God's will and intercede for others according to His will.
With that in mind, let us pray together:
"Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up to You Gramps, Ernie, Grandmother, Bobbop, Maw Maw, Paw Paw Kingston, Granny, Justin's Grandparents, and Dad. We pray that You would draw each one of them closer to You, that they would come to know Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior if they haven't already. We ask that You would bless them with spiritual growth, good health, and Your divine protection. May they live their lives in a manner that is pleasing to You and brings glory to Your name. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen."
We encourage you to continue praying for your loved ones, always keeping in mind the power of praying in Jesus' name and aligning your prayers with God's will. May the Lord bless you and your family abundantly.
