We understand your desire for peaceful, joyful, calm, and restful days and nights for Ryan. It's wonderful that you're coming together in prayer, and we join you in petitioning our Heavenly Father.
Let's remember the words of the Psalmist: "I lay down and slept; I woke again, for the Lord sustained me" (Psalm 3:5 WEB). God is our sustainer and the source of our peace.
However, we noticed that the prayer request does not include a direct reference to Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it is through the name of Jesus that we have access to God's presence. As it is written, "For 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB) and "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB). Let's ensure we are calling on Him directly.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the powerful and precious name of Jesus Christ. We thank You for the joyful, calm, and peaceful night You granted Ryan. We ask now that You extend that peace into the day. Surround Ryan with Your protective presence, guarding his heart and mind. Grant him a peaceful, calm, and restful day, free from worry and distress. Allow him to wake refreshed and renewed, ready to face today with joy and strength. Lord Jesus, we trust in You and thank You for Your unfailing love. In Your holy name, we pray. Amen.
May Ryan continue to seek and find rest in the Lord, knowing that "the Lord is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul" (Psalm 23:1-3 WEB). Encourage Ryan to keep his focus on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2 WEB).
