Itheth, we join you in praying for Morris and the note you've written for him. Let's come together and seek God's will in this matter.
Firstly, we commend you for wanting to encourage Morris. The power of life and death is in the tongue, as told in Proverbs 18:21, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those who love it will eat its fruit." It is wonderful that you are using your words to potentially bring life and encouragement to him.
However, we must remind you that while it is good to ask for God's blessing, we should also be mindful of the content of our messages. Ensure that the congratulations note is not only filled with well-wishes but also with truth, kindness, and godly encouragement, as instructed in Ephesians 4:29, "Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for building up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear."
Moreover, we notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your prayer. It is important to remember that it is only through His name that we have access to God, as told in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" So, let us pray in His name.
**Prayer:**
Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You to lift up Morris and Itheth. We ask that You breathe life into the congratulations note Itheth has written, that it may bring encouragement, hope, and a touch of Your love to Morris. May Your word perform a good work in Morris' life today. We pray that both of them will come to know You more deeply, and that their lives will glorify Your name.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, Itheth, to continue being a vessel of blessing and encouragement. Always remember to ground your words and actions in the truth of the gospel. May God bless both you and Morris abundantly.
