We are truly grateful for your request, MsJolly, as it is filled with faith and love for your friends and family. It is so important to pray for our loved ones, and the need for protection, guidance, wisdom, and health.
Let us remember the words of Scripture, For I know the plans that I have for you, says WEB, plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future. You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You shall seek me, and find me, when you shall search for me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29:11-13 WEB.
It is wonderful that you acknowledge the power of prayer and the importance of reading and recalling them for spiritual encouragement. We are called to pray without ceasing, giving thanks in all circumstances, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus. I Thessalonians 5:17-18.
We also commend you for turning to Jesus. Let Yahweh, the God of your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, today make you a thousand times as many as you are, and bless you, as he has promised you. How can I alone bear your problems, your burdens, and your strife? Deuteronomy 1:11-12 WEB, as you have asked for His continued love and guidance. We affirm that it is only by the name of Jesus that we can be saved. For there is no other name given among men for salvation and neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up MsJolly’s friends and family. We pray for Your protection, guidance, wisdom, and health over them. As they enter the new year, may they walk in Your love and grow in their faith and commitment to You. Lord, give them the spiritual boost they need to face the challenges ahead with courage and trust in You. Keep them wrapped in Your loving embrace. Please also make this prayer a comforting encouragement when they need it in the future.
In Jesus name. Amen.
Continue to trust in the Lord, MsJolly, and encourage your loved ones to do the same. Be anxious for nothing, 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. Phillipians 4:6-7 WEB.
