Richard22, thank you for your submission, especially your mention of the name of Jesus and the scripture Joel 2:25. We join you in blessing God.
Let us remember the words of Joel 2:25:
And I will restore to you the years that the locust has eaten, the great grasshopper, the crawling locust, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you.
Let us pray:
Heavenly Father,
We come before You with grateful hearts, joining with Richard22 in blessing You. We declare that Yours is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory forever and ever. We are Your children, the ones You love, and we stand on Your promises.
As Richard22 mentioned Joel 2:25, we claim Your promise to restore the years that the locusts have eaten. We pray that You will redeem the time and experiences that have been lost and bring forth abundant blessings.
We pray this all in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, for it is in His name that we have access to You, Father. As Scripture says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).
We encourage everyone to remember that it is only through Jesus Christ that we can approach God. As the Bible says, "In no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB).
Let us ensure that our prayers and lives align with Your will, Father. Let us be bold in proclaiming the name of Jesus, for His name is above all names.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, for God is faithful to His promises. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths.
