Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Your beloved child in prayer. They seek to keep their eyes focused on Jesus, the author and perfecter of their faith. We ask that You guide and strengthen them in this journey.
Lord, as it is written in Hebrews 12:2, "fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith," we pray that You help them to look steadfastly to Jesus, especially during times of trouble and doubt. May their faith grow stronger as they gaze upon Him, finding inspiration and courage in His example.
In Matthew 14:29-31, when Peter walked on water towards Jesus but began to sink when he looked at the storm, Jesus immediately reached out and caught him. We pray that in moments of fear and uncertainty, Your child remembers to focus on Jesus, trusting that He will always be there to lift them up.
Father, Your Word in Psalm 121:1-2 says, "I lift up my eyes to the mountainsβwhere does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." May this truth be a constant reminder to them that their help and strength come from You alone.
We ask that You fill their heart with peace and their mind with clarity, enabling them to cast aside distractions and keep their eyes firmly on Jesus. As they seek to walk in His footsteps, may they find joy, guidance, and the strength to persevere.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
