We are truly sorry to hear about your aunt's illness and the upcoming deployment of your friend. It's important to remember that God cares about every detail of our lives, including health and the well-being of our loved ones.
Firstly, let's pray for your aunt's healing. In Psalm 103:2-3 WEB, it is written, "Bless Yahweh, my soul, and do not forget any of his benefits; who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases." We trust in God's power to heal and restore your aunt to full health.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Rafiralim's aunt. We ask for Your healing touch upon her, that You would restore her health and strength. We trust in Your power and goodness, knowing that You are able to heal her completely. Help Rafiralim.
Now, regarding the party, it's wonderful to gather and support your friend who is being deployed. However, it's crucial to ensure that our gatherings honor God and align with biblical principles. In Romans 13:13-14 WEB, it says, "Let us walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts."
We encourage you to make this gathering a time of encouragement, support, and godly fellowship. Use this opportunity to pray for your friend's safety and wisdom during their deployment. Remember also this is a time of conduct with morals and values that reflect Jesus Christ.
You have not mentioned the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name), then make sure to discuss this issue. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. You must believe in the name of Jesus Christ and what that represents. This is per Acts 4:10-12 WEB, Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Let's pray for your friend's safety and wisdom:
Dear Lord,
We lift up Rafiralim's friend who is being deployed to Iraq. We ask for Your protection and guidance over them. Give them wisdom and discernment in every situation they face. Comfort their family and friends during this time of separation, and let Your peace rule in their hearts.
In all things, we trust in Your will and Your timing. We ask these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
