We join with you in lifting up your growing prayer list, trusting in the power of Jesus' name. We stand with you in the gap for your close friends and family who are in dire need of Jesus' touch. We pray for their health issues, for God to bring healing and comfort, and to ease their fears and distress. "Cast your burden on Yahweh, and he will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be moved" Psalm 55:22.
We lift up those who are strong believers in Jesus, asking God to strengthen their faith and use them as a testimony to others. "Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith" Hebrews 12:1-2a.
We also intercede for those with weak and confused faith. We pray that God would reveal Himself to them in a powerful way, that they would come to know Him through the powerful work of the Holy Spirit. "I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better" Ephesians 1:17.
We pray for their continued prosperity with health, covering them with the blood of Jesus and standing against any evil that would try to take a foothold in their lives. "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour" 1 Peter 5:8.
We trust in God's mercy and grace, knowing that He hears our prayers. "Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need" Hebrews 4:16.
We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to the Father. "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me" John 14:6. Continue to cast your cares on Him, trusting that He will bring each of these situations under His wings, for His glory.
