Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of Maparda, who is seeking your guidance and strength during the midnight hour. Just as Jesus prayed fervently in the midnight hour in the garden of Gethsemane, we ask that you grant Maparda the same spirit of perseverance and submission in their time of need.
Lord, we acknowledge that the midnight hour can be a time of burden, agony, and distress. We pray that you would grant Maparda the grace to face any challenges or struggles they may be experiencing during this time. Help them to find solace and comfort in your presence, knowing that you are with them in the darkest of nights.
We also ask for your protection over Maparda during the midnight hour. Just as you protected your servant from harm when surrounded by armed men, we pray that you would shield Maparda from any danger or harm that may come their way. Give them the courage to stand firm in their faith and to boldly proclaim your love and truth to those around them.
Father, we lift up Maparda's specific needs and burdens before you. We ask that you would provide for their every need, whether it be physical, emotional, or spiritual. Grant them wisdom and discernment as they navigate through the challenges they face, and give them the strength to persevere.
We are reminded of the parables that Jesus shared about persistence in prayer. Just as the friend at midnight was persistent in seeking provision and the widow was persistent in seeking justice, we pray that Maparda would be persistent in their prayers to you. May they never grow weary or faint, but continue to seek your face and trust in your perfect timing and provision.
In Jesus' name, we pray, amen.
