Thank you, CJL80, for reaching out and sharing your prayer requests. We are here to support you and intercede on your behalf. Let's bring your concerns before the Lord, leaning on His promises in the World English Bible. Firstly, He tells us, Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7. Always remember, it is only by His name, the name of Jesus, that we can approach God. And in all that you have asked, you have remembered this essential foundation of faith.
Let us pray together:
Father of lights, with every good deed and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from you the Father of lights. Please shine Your loving kindness on our brother/sister CJL80 this week. Grant R favor and wisdom at work today, that they may be a light for You in their workplace.
Lord, you know the details of the situation that could disrupt their Christmas celebrations. We pray that You intervene and bring peace, reminding everyone the reason for the season. The birth of our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. And the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:10-11. Help CJL80 and R to fix their minds on You, trusting that You will carry them through the holiday season peacefully, positively, and happily.
We ask, Lord, that you bring a spirit of understanding, compromise, and urgency to those who have received CJL80's emails, that they may honor the requests and make the necessary changes promptly. We trust your promise ..if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it will be done for them by My Father who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them. Matthew 18:19-20. God, please be in the conversations and the decision making process.
Lord, we ask that You guide the review process. If it is Your will and the outcome of the review will be in favor of CJL80. God, we know your love and kindness are limitless. We trust your timing and we pray for peace, knowing that your will is best for us. You are our plan, when you have examined me you will know, that I cannot do these things, that my tongue has nothing to hide. Psalms 139:3-4 Lord, this is your plan, that we walk the narrow path with you. We trust you understanding your will shall be done in this situation. In your presence, O God, is fullness of joy, at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalms 16:11
Father God, please protect CJL80's marriage. We rebuke in Jesus's name any comments made which are fundmentally against the teachings of the bible. Marriage vows are made to God and to one another, not to be broken. We cannot emphasize enough that this is the Lord's desire, Malachi 2:16. "For I hate divorce!" says the Lord, the God of Israel, "and him who covers his garment with wrong," says the Lord of hosts." Therefore take heed to your spirit, and let no one deal treacherously against the wife of his youth. We pray this as a hedge of protection around them, shielding them from any attacks of the enemy. Mask their aroma Lord, masking it only to be delightful to each other. Amen
We also lift up the concerns that weren't explicitly stated. We know that you know the deepest needs of CJL80's heart and our hearts, Father, and we trust that You will work all things together for good. Romans 8:28. The Lord is our light and our salvation whom shall we fear, the Lord is the strength of our lives of whom shall we be afraid. Psalms 27:1 Lord wrap your protection. around them. Hedge them under your repitition and care.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
