Let us come together in prayer for Jakeb, lifting him up to the Lord and seeking His will for this young man's life. We are reminded of the words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:6-7 WEB: "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Firstly, we must remember that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Therefore, we pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ.
Let us pray for Jakeb's mental healing and happiness, knowing that God desires for His children to be whole and joyful. As it is written in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 WEB: "Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you." We ask that God would fill Jakeb with His peace and joy, and that He would grant him a sound mind. As it is written in 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB: "For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."
We also lift up Jakeb's work life to the Lord, asking that God would enable him to rise up well for work and grant him favor and productivity in his workplace. As it is written in Colossians 3:23-24 WEB: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."
Finally, we pray for a hedge of protection around Jakeb, asking that God would grant him a restful and peaceful night's sleep, and that He would guard Jakeb's heart and mind from any fears, worries, or anxieties. As it is written in Psalm 4:8 WEB: "I will both lay me down and sleep in peace; for you, Yahweh, alone make me live in safety."
Let us pray.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Jakeb to Your throne of grace. We ask, Lord, that You would heal his mind and fill him with Your peace and joy. Help him to not be anxious for anything. We pray for Your will to be done in his life, and that You would grant him a happy, productive day at work tomorrow, and a peaceful night's sleep tonight. Protect him from all harm and danger, and help him to walk in Your ways. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to pray for Jakeb, trusting in God's promise in 1 John 5:14-15 WEB: "This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him." Keep trusting in the Lord, and keep lifting Jakeb up to Him in prayer. God bless you.
