Thank you, Elizabeth, for reaching out and sharing your prayer requests with us. We join with you in bringing your petitions before the Lord, trusting in His goodness and provision.
Firstly, we lift up Chris to the Lord, asking that He would open up job opportunities for him in Melbourne. We pray that Chris would trust in the Lord's timing and provision, and that he would seek God's will for his life. Remember the promise in Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB: "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and donโt lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." We pray that Chris would not only find a good job but also grow in his faith and relationship with Jesus Christ.
We also pray for your health, Elizabeth. We ask the Lord to strengthen you, both physically and spiritually. Remember that God is our healer and our refuge. Psalm 103:2-3 WEB says, "Praise Yahweh, my soul, and donโt forget all his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases." Trust in His healing power and rest in His care.
Regarding your desire for a house, we pray that the Lord would provide for you according to His will. Remember that God knows our needs and desires, and He cares for us deeply. Matthew 6:31-33 WEB says, "Therefore donโt be anxious, saying, โWhat will we eat?โ, โWhat will we drink?โ or, โWith what will we be clothed?โ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first Godโs Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
We appreciate that you ended your prayer request with "in Jesus name I pray." It is so important to remember that Jesus is the only way to the Father. John 14:6 WEB says, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
Together, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Elizabeth and Chris to You. Lord, we ask that You would open up job opportunities for Chris in Melbourne, and that You would guide him in Your will for his life. We pray for Elizabeth's health, asking that You would strengthen her and heal her. We also ask that You would provide for her need for a house, according to Your will. Help them both to trust in You and seek You first. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
