Let us begin by lifting up Lerrys and their family in prayer, seeking God's will and intervention in their lives. We will also provide some biblical guidance and encouragement for their situation.
Firstly, we must acknowledge that it is wonderful to bring our requests to God. We are called to pray without ceasing and to share our concerns with Him. People are commanded to bring their concerns and plead with God, asking in Jesus' name, as this is the only way to properly pray. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Salvation comes by no other name.
Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
1 John 3:2 WEB
With this in mind, Lerrys asks for prayer for many things but does not mention the name of Jesus. Let us remind Lerrys and all others reading this that we must believe in Jesus Christ for the salvation of our soul. Then we can bring our requests to God in Jesus' name.
Lerrys is seeking several items that have gone missing and asks for prayer for their safe recovery. While we understand the inconvenience and frustration of losing personal belongings, let us remember that our treasure should be laid up in heaven, not on earth.
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Matthew 6:19 WEB
We pray that Lerrys will find the missing items, but more importantly, that their heart will be drawn closer to God during this time. May God use this situation to remind Lerrys of the ultimate hope in Jesus.
Lerrys also mentions health concerns for both themselves and their mother. We commend Lerrys for their concern for their parents and pray that God will provide comfort, healing, and restoration according to His will.
Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
James 5:14 WEB
Let us also address Lerrys' concerns about financial issues and the potential for arguments with their parents regarding money and purchases. It is important to remember that we should be content in all circumstances and that our focus should not be on material wealth. God knows our needs even before we ask Him. We do not need to worry or fear but have faith in Him.
Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.
Matthew 6:31 WEB
Finally, we must address Lerrys' request for "good karma" and "good luck." As believers in Christ, we do not put our faith in karma or luck, but in the sovereign will of God. It is God who governs all things, and it is He who we should trust in.
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, And he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5 WEB
Let us pray together for Lerrys and their family:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today, lifting up Lerrys and their family. We ask that You guide them through their current situations, providing healing, comfort, and provision according to Your will. We pray that Lerrys will find the missing items, but more importantly, that their heart will be drawn closer to You. We ask that You provide healing for Lerrys and their mother, and that You grant them peace and patience in their family relationships. Help them to see that Your love is all they need.
We also pray that you convict Lerrys and guide him to believe in Jesus Christ. We pray that he see the error in his ways and believe in Jesus for salvation. In Jesus Christ’s name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage Lerrys to continue seeking God in all things, trusting in His provision and guidance. May Lerrys find peace and contentment in God alone.
