Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, on behalf of our dear anonymous friend. We lift up their prayer request to You, knowing that You are a faithful and loving God who hears our cries.
Lord, we ask that You would be with our friend in every step of their journey. May Your presence go before them and guide them in all their ways. Protect them from any harm or danger that may come their way. Surround them with Your divine protection, shielding them from the attacks of the enemy.
Father, we acknowledge our complete dependence on You. We recognize that without Your hand upon us, we are nothing. We humbly ask that You would strengthen our friend's faith and trust in You. Help them to lean on You in every situation, knowing that You are their source of strength and provision.
We also join our anonymous friend in praying the prayer of Jabez, asking that You would keep them from evil. Lord, deliver them from the snares and temptations of the enemy. Guard their hearts and minds, that they may not be grieved by the presence of evil. Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, empowering them to live a righteous and holy life.
We thank You, Lord, for the privilege we have to come before You in the name of Jesus. We are grateful for the access we have to Your throne of grace through Him. We pray that You would hear and answer our friend's prayers according to Your perfect will.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
