Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Jonathan_M's prayer request. We ask that you would strengthen his righteousness and faith, just as the centurion's faith was a bond. Lord, we pray that Jonathan_M would be firmly rooted in righteousness, walking in obedience to your commands and living a life that brings glory to your name.
We are reminded of the centurion's great faith when he approached Jesus, acknowledging his unworthiness but believing in the power of Jesus' word to heal his servant. May Jonathan_M have a similar faith, trusting in your authority and relying on your promises.
Lord, we ask that you would increase Jonathan_M's faith, enabling him to fully surrender his life to you and to trust in your guidance and provision. Help him to seek your will above all else and to walk in obedience to your word.
We also pray for a deepening of Jonathan_M's relationship with you. May he abide in you, seeking your presence daily and relying on your strength and wisdom. Fill him with your Holy Spirit, empowering him to live a life that is pleasing to you.
Father, we thank you for the privilege of prayer and for the assurance that you hear our petitions. We trust in your faithfulness and ask that you would answer this prayer according to your perfect will. May Jonathan_M's righteousness and faith be a testimony to your goodness and grace.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
