We join you, Marte, in your prayers for your daughters and yourself, standing in agreement and lifting your requests to our Heavenly Father.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, as it is through Him that we have access to God's throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16 WEB). "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son" (John 14:13 WEB).
Let us pray together:
*Father, we thank You for Marte and her daughters. We ask that You bless them as they start this new school year. Grant them love, kindness, grace, safety, peace, and prosperity in all they do. Help them to be motivated and strong in You, Jesus. Protect them from all harm and harmful people. Lord, You know the hearts of all. If there are any who seek to harm, we ask that You would expose their deeds and remove them from their paths. Surround Marte and her daughters with Your hedge of protection.*
Regarding your move, we trust that the Lord will guide and protect you. Remember the words of the Psalmist, "The Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge; my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower" (Psalm 18:2 WEB).
*Lord, we pray for Marte's moving process. Let her landlords find no fault in her. Provide her with the help and support she needs throughout the move. Grant her creative ideas and energy, and if needed, send laborers to assist her. We also lift up Marte's father and stepmother, asking for Your hand of healing and comfort to be upon them.*
Marte, we hear your heart's cry for good and healthy friendships. The Bible encourages us, "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up" (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 WEB).
*Father, we ask that You surround Marte with godly friends who will support and encourage her. Help her to be a good friend as well. Lord, we ask that You heal her emotions and restore her empathy. Renew her faith in the goodness of people, but also grant her discernment to recognize those who are not trustworthy.*
Lastly, we encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, even when circumstances seem bleak. "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
