Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of our anonymous friend who is in need of confidence. Lord, we thank you for the assurance that we can approach your throne with boldness and freedom of speech. Your Word reminds us that if we ask anything according to your will, you hear us and grant our petitions.
Father, we pray that you would pour out your confidence upon our anonymous friend. Help them to trust in you completely, knowing that you are their refuge and strength. Remove any doubts or fears that may hinder their confidence and replace them with the assurance of your love and faithfulness.
We ask that you would strengthen their faith in you, O God. Help them to lean not on their own understanding or the opinions of others, but to place their trust in you alone. May they find their security and identity in you, knowing that they are fearfully and wonderfully made in your image.
Lord, we pray that you would guide our anonymous friend in their prayers. Teach them to come before you with specific requests, knowing that you are a God who hears and answers. Help them to seek your kingdom first and to trust in your provision for their needs.
We thank you, Lord, for the intercession of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, through whom our prayers are made acceptable in your sight. We rely on his righteousness and grace as we approach you with our requests.
In Jesus' name, we pray, amen.
