We join you in lifting up these urgent needs and petitions to the Lord Jesus. We are called to come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help us in our time of need. Therefore, let us pray together.
Beloved, we are reminded in 1 John 5:14-15 WEB that this is the boldness that we have toward the Lord, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
Firstly, we praise God for your heartfelt desire to intercede for your people, your family, and yourself. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6 WEB, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. We pray that you all would be protected by the Lord, saved through faith in Jesus Christ, overcome trials through His strength, and be healed both physically and spiritually according to God's will.
We lift up the church, that God would bring healing, unity, and revival. Praying for our leaders to have wisdom from above, that they would lead with godliness, integrity, and humility. We remember our persecuted brothers and sisters, asking God to fill them with courage, to spread the good news, and to be protected by His angels. We pray for receptive hearts to God's message, that many would come to salvation.
We bring before the Lord those who are sick, that they would experience healing miracles according to His will. We intercede for those who are contemplating terrible acts, that God would touch their hearts and draw them to Himself. We stand against the spirit of suicide, praying for deliverance and healing for those who are struggling. We ask God to reveal Himself to those who are undecided about Jesus and His gospel.
We declare God's promises over these situations, knowing that He is faithful to hear and answer our prayers. Heavenly Father, we ask these things in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
Be encouraged by the words of Romans 8:26-28 WEB,
In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered. He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit’s mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
