Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Oakland's children and grandchildren to Your loving care. We thank You for the assurance that they are saved and on their way to heaven. We pray, Lord, that You would surround them with Your divine protection and guidance, keeping them steadfast in their faith.
We ask, Lord Jesus, that You would guard their hearts and minds from the temptations of the world, the desires of the flesh, and the schemes of the devil. Help them to remain rooted in Your truth and to walk in obedience to Your Word. May they never waver or turn away from Your path, but continue to grow in their love for You and their commitment to following You.
Lord, we pray that You would be their constant companion, leading them each step of the way towards Your glorious presence. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, empowering them to live lives that bring honor and glory to Your name. Strengthen their faith, that they may be a shining light in this world, pointing others towards You.
We ask, O Lord, that You would keep them saved and secure in Your salvation. Protect them from any harm or danger that may come their way. Surround them with Your angels, guarding them from any spiritual attacks or influences that may seek to lead them astray.
May Your grace and mercy be upon them, Lord, as they journey towards the eternal glory that awaits them. We trust in Your faithfulness and Your promise to keep them until the day of redemption. Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your unfailing love towards Oakland's children and grandchildren.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
