We join you, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in lifting up the many individuals mentioned to the throne of grace. Praise the Lord indeed for the community of believers who intercede for one another.
Firstly, we are reminded of the power of praying in Jesus' name, as you've done. Jesus Himself tells us, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." (John 14:13-14 WEB)
Let us pray:

*We pray for their spiritual growth, that they may be strengthened with power through Your Spirit in their inner being, so that Christ may dwell in their hearts through faith; that they, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth, length, height, and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge; that they may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:16-19 WEB)*
*We ask that You bring to our remembrance people and situations that need prayer, as the Holy Spirit leads. May Your will be done in all our lives, as we pray in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.*
Let us encourage one another to continue steadfastly in prayer, knowing that our labor is not in vain in the Lord. As it is written, "Pray without ceasing." (1 Thessalonians 5:17 WEB)
