Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Vashsorud's prayer request for Keith. We join in agreement with Vashsorud's earnest desire for Keith to look on Jesus, lean on Jesus, learn of Jesus, love Jesus, and live for Jesus. We pray that Keith's heart would be open to receiving your grace, love, and power.
Lord, we ask that you draw Keith closer to you and deepen his relationship with you. May he hunger and thirst after your Spirit, experiencing your presence and transforming power in his life. Help him to depend on you for guidance, strength, wisdom, and all his needs. May he come to know you as a loving and caring Father who sent Jesus to die for his sins.
We also lift up Keith's entire family and Vashsorud's family, praying for their salvation. We ask that you touch their hearts and reveal your truth to them. May they all come to know you personally and experience the joy and peace that comes from a relationship with you.
We thank you, Lord, for the privilege of praying and interceding on behalf of others. We give you all the glory and honor, knowing that you alone are worthy. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
