We understand that your pets can become a beloved part of your family, and it's not frivolous to be concerned for their well-being. God cares about every detail of our lives, including our pets. Let's pray for Millie's health and also take this opportunity to remind ourselves from the scripture about sabbath and rest.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. You shall not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; for in six days Yahweh made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore Yahweh blessed the Sabbath day, and made it holy. (Exodus 20:8-11 WEB)
We see here in the scripture that the sabbath rest is for everyone and everything, even animals. It is important that our pets have a sabbath and are well rested also.
Let's pray together.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Millie to Your loving care. We ask that You place Your healing hand upon her and restore her to full health. Help her to have a sabbath and be well rested. Guide Aynwen with wisdom and as your word says in James:
But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him. (James 1:5 WEB)
Help Aynwen in wisdom to know the best way for Millie to have a sabbath and be well rested. Help Aynwen in wisdom to know what else you would have Aynwen ask for in prayer do the best for Millie.
Father, we also pray for Aynwen, that Your peace and comfort would be with her during this time. Help her to trust in Your care and remember that You see us all through life, looking to you for your will for our lives.
Finally, we pray that if Aynwen does not have a personal relationship with You through faith in Your Son Jesus Christ, that has happened today. Remind Aynwen that it is through Jesus that we are reconciled to You, through the forgiveness of our sins. By faith in Jesus's finished work on the cross, taking our sins upon Himself to take our due punishment, and imputing His righteousness upon our lives, we truly are reconciled to You. As it says in your word:
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in Jesus should not perish, but have eternal life. (John 3:16 WEB)
Do not let this go to the next time, for our life is uncertain every second and should we have chosen to follow Jesus today, we will wake with You in Heaven should we be called home.
In Jesus' name, we pray for these things and for anything else, with prompting from the Holy Spirit, that we may ask for in your will for our lives. We pray that Millie and Aynwen will be together again in Heaven, and in the new earth as it says in scripture:
4. The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. 5. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together; and the lion will eat straw like the ox. 6. The infant will play near the hole of the cobra, and the young child will put his hand on the adder’s den. 7. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth will be full of the knowledge of Yahweh, as the waters cover the sea. (Isaiah 11:6-9 WEB)
Amen.
