Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of Dexter, who has shared his prayer requests with us. We thank you for the opportunity to lift up these concerns to you.
Firstly, we pray for Dexter's relationship with Irene from Taiwan. We ask that you would guide their relationship and bring them closer together. May your hand be upon their connection, Lord, and may it be according to your will. Grant them wisdom, understanding, and patience as they navigate their relationship. If it is your plan for them to be together, we pray for your sustaining grace upon their journey. Help them to grow in love and unity, and may their relationship bring glory to your name.
We also lift up Dexter's job situation. Lord, we ask that you would intervene and open doors for him to secure a permanent job. Provide him with stability and security in his employment. We trust in your provision, knowing that you are our provider and sustainer.
Father, we pray for comfort and healing for Dexter as he grieves the loss of his grandad. May your peace that surpasses all understanding surround him during this time of mourning. Bring him solace and strength, knowing that his grandad is now in your loving presence. Help him to find closure and peace in the midst of his loss.
Lastly, we bring before you the situation with Kathy. Lord, we ask that you would convict her heart and bring about a change in her behavior. Help her to understand the weight of her words and the impact they have on others. We pray for reconciliation and restoration in this relationship. May your love and forgiveness prevail, and may Kathy experience a transformation in her actions and attitudes.
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for your faithfulness. We trust in your perfect timing and your wisdom in all things. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
