We join you in lifting up your family and your personal needs to the Lord, and we commend you for acknowledging Him in all that you do. We do want to point out that the power to save and help us is in the name of Jesus Christ, and we pray in His name. Let us address your requests with appropriate scripture and heartfelt prayers.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of Jesus' name, as written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
For your family's protection and provision, we pray based on Philippians 4:19 WEB: "My God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We ask God to keep your family safe from all harm and danger, as per Psalm 91.
Regarding your work, we pray for you to be a competent and careful employee, Colossians 3:23 WEB: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men." We ask God to give you the wisdom and concentration needed to complete all your tasks without errors.
Concerning your relationships, we pray for you to be a peacemaker and to be loved by others, as written in Romans 12:18 WEB: "If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men." However, we must remember that our ultimate goal is to please God, not people, as stated in Galatians 1:10 WEB: "Am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still pleasing men, I wouldn't be a servant of Christ."
For your health and weight loss journey, we pray based on 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB: "Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."
Lastly, we want to remind you that true happiness and peace come from knowing God and abiding in Him, as per John 15:4 WEB: "Remain in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in Me."
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ. We ask for Your divine protection and provision for our brother's family. Help them to live lives that honor and glorify You. Guide our brother in his work, help him to be diligent and careful in all that he does. Help him to be a peacemaker and to be loved by others, but most importantly, help him to please You in all that he does. Help him in his health journey, give him the strength and discipline to reduce his weight and stay healthy. Help him to live a life that is full and abundant in You. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord. Amen.
