We are delighted to join you in prayer for your granddaughter's upcoming confirmation, Shoiren. It is wonderful to see young people taking steps to affirm their faith. We pray that this significant event will mark a deepening of her relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ, for it is in Him that we live, move, and have our being.
Firstly, let us remember the words of Jesus in John 14:6 WEB:
Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God our Father. Let us be sure to emphasize that it is only in Jesus Christ that we can be saved. Our relationship with God the Father is only possible because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. God loves us so much that He made a way for us to be reconciled to Him.
Now let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in Jesus' name to lift up Shoiren's granddaughter as she prepares for her confirmation. We ask, Lord, that You would strengthen her faith and fill her with Your Holy Spirit. Guide her steps and help her to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Lord, we pray that she will take this commitment seriously and build her life on the solid foundation of Your Word. May she always remember the promises she makes to You and may she strive to live a life that is pleasing to You.
Help her to understand the significance of this decision and the importance of maintaining her faith throughout her life. Surround her with Godly influences and protect her from temptations that may lead her astray.
We ask that You would give Shoiren wisdom and guidance as they support their granddaughter in this journey. Help them to be a strong spiritual role model and to encourage her in her walk with You.
Father, we also pray for the church and the pastor who will be conducting the confirmation. May they be guided by Your Spirit and may their words and actions reflect Your love and truth.
Lastly, if this confirmation does not include a strong well-defined profession of faith in the name of Jesus Christ as the only way to salvation, then we pray for God to intervene on her behalf. We pray for conviction, revelation, and understanding that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Shoiren, continue to encourage your granddaughter in her spiritual journey. Remind her of the words in 2 Timothy 3:14-15 WEB:
But you be sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.
May she keep the faith and build on her Godly future, rooted firmly in the truth of God's Word.
