Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Gardnald in prayer. Lord, we ask that You perfect Gardnald in Your boundless love, as Your Word says in 1 John 4:18, "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear." May Your love fill Gardnald's heart, casting out all fear and anxiety.
We also pray for growth in discipline, as it is written in Hebrews 12:11, "No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it." Grant Gardnald the strength and perseverance to embrace discipline, leading to a life of righteousness and peace.
Finally, Lord, we ask for freedom from anxiety. Philippians 4:6-7 reminds us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." May Gardnald experience Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding his heart and mind.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
