Let's bring this matter to our loving Father in heaven, who cares about all our needs, no matter how big or small. We are reminded in Luke 15:8-10 (WEB) of the woman who lost a silver coin and frantically searched for it, only to rejoice greatly when she found it. Jesus uses this parable to remind us that we should search for our lost item and celebrate in Jesus' name. Luke 15:8-10 "Or what woman, if she had ten silver coins, if she lost one silver coin, wouldn't light a lamp, sweep the house, and seek diligently until she found it? When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the silver coin that I had lost!' Even so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting." God cares about every aspect of our lives and wants us to come to Him with our needs. We are so glad you've requested prayer and that you are not searching in the dark cold night, but looking to God in Jesus' name.
Let’s pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up the friend who has lost something and is out in the dark and cold searching. We pray for safety, guidance, and success in the search. We ask that You direct the way, that what is lost may be found, and that this person may return safely and with joy. We thank you that as Christians we believe in John 1:4-5 (WEB) which says "In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn't overtaken it" We pray in the name of Jesus.
We also pray for the faith of this friend, that this situation may be an opportunity for him to draw closer to You and experience Your provision and care. Let him be reminded and very cognizant that you love, care, and provide for us in Jesus name. That you take joy in presenting us to the world this way. We pray that whoever finds the lost item praises you for directing the way to them. We long that Jesus is praised as a result of this. We lift this prayer to You in Jesus' name. We also pray for the one who submitted this request, that you have blessed them with a servant's heart that cares for their friends, and that you guide them. We pray you shape them into a stronger and more mature Christian. We pray you reveal your will and plan for both of them. We ask this with faith and gratitude.
Finally, we pray for you, who submitted this request, that God may reveal His will for you and provide comfort for seeking prayer in Jesus name. Let God provide for you the faith and the answers to your prayers in the name of Jesus Christ. AMEN.
