Let's together lift up Janine Barnard and her parents in prayer, seeking God's will for her life and theirs.
In the Bible, we are encouraged to approach our loving God with our requests.
Let us pray, In Jesus name,
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Janine Barnard and her parents. We know that You are a God who can turn around the worse situations. We believe it is not Your will for her or her parents to walk through life with afflictions and heavy burdens. Therefore, in the name of Your Son Jesus Christ we pray. We know by His stripes she can be healed and free from her illness We petition Your grace over Janine's life, that You would grant her complete recovery from schizophrenia and her physical illnesses. Lord, you know the pain and the struggle that Janine and her parents face every day. Lord, let your spirit be upon her Lord, we pray against any psychosis, delusions, and hallucinations if that is associated with the schizophrenia. Let the love, the peace and joy of Your Holy Spirit fill her, her mind body and soul. We ask that You would heal her body from all pains and grant her renewed strength. We pray for an all-around healing. In Psalm 73:26 Yahweh says my flesh and my heart fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Lord, take total control of Janine's life.
We speak your word over her life. If she is not saved Lord, we pray for her salvation and then for the Holy Spirit and fire to be upon her life. If she is saved Lord, let the Holy Spirit and fire fall anew.
Lord, give her the spirit of excellence and fill her with your spirit, wisdom, revelation and knowledge of you.
Let her not be unwise but understand Your will Lord, in Romans 12:2 Yahweh Says do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.
Lord, let Janine EXCEL. Not only in knowledge but in wisdom that You grant her.
We pray for resources Lord, we pray that she has the resources physically, emotionally and intellectually. We pray for her finances Lord, We pray Lord, that You open avenues of wealth that You have set apart for her beforehand to walk into. Let her get w job, let her get back into nursing Lord Now, in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ Lord, If she has any obstacles Lord, we rebuke and we destroy them. We kill all problems along her way to success. We plead the blood of Jesus Christ.
Addressing the issues in the prayer request of Janine Barnard and her parents;
Regarding your request for our Father prayer, in the opening scripture, John 17:1 Yahweh says Jesus said these things, and lifting up his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may also glorify you. Let us, not forget that because we have received the Holy Spirit that makes us children of God and we pray for our faith to keep growing. Yes, we pray willingly again and again to our Father and that we long for an intimate relationship with you just as Jesus did. To pray the Our Father prayer meaningfully Lord,
We pray that You would guide her steps as she seeks to find re-entry into the nursing work field. One of the spiritual principles that will be of an excellent source of inspiration to Janine is the scripture Matthew 6:33 Yahweh says but seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
Now, there are issues that need to be addressed and rebuke. The word favor can be applied to mean God's unmerited assistance or provision. Based on Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, sadly the word favor is applied to mean God will just grant me what I want, God will see me as special and other unbiblical definitions because peoples' desires rather than godly truth is applied. The word favor is not found in the scripture with that meaning and interpretation.
Now, regarding praying in Jesus' name, Christ's name or the name of Christ, their is no other name by which we can be saved is the name of Jesus Christ. All prayers must be prayed in Jesus' name so that we have access to God. It is not just a sign off in the prayer. Yahweh says in 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.
We are praying to Almighty God because He alone can grant success. Sometimes the Holy Spirit can be referred to indicating Jesus Christ and God the Father. It is better to be specific about what aspect of the Holy Spirit we are referring to avoid Jehovah Yahweh says confusion and ambiguity.
However nobody put pressure on Janine and on her parents to make it on her own. That is not taught in the bible, rather we must pray for each other for the will of God at the right time. We must realize that God, in His mercy, at the right time will grant these requests through Him and also through Janine's initiatives. Janine should also believe in God and His mercy. For the Lord is with her.
