We join with CJL80 in a fluid naturally reading prayer addressing all the needs presented.
Let us pray.
Father, we pour out acoholic beverage or a drink offering to you. This pouring out is spiritual not physical and there is no actual drink offering being physically made. We are told to be a drink offering in 2 Timothy 4:6 ( For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand) and also Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is also reported in Matthew 26:39 ( And he went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.") and in Matthew 26:39 (He went away again the second time, prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cup can't pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.") to also be poured out like a drink offering in prayer. We ask these things.
Beloved, we join you in prayer for a good week, trusting in the Lord's goodness and provision. As Pslams 16:8 declares, I have set Yahweh always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. We ask that R be protected at work this whole week, remembering Psalms 91:11 which states, For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. We pray for wisdom, alertness and a safe working environment. May all the issues you are faced with be placed under Jesus footstool.
We lift up your concerns about the holiday season, asking that God's peace, calm and happiness reigns in your home.
When Martha was busily serving as hostess for meal preparation, she beseeched Jesus to tell Mary to help her. When Jesus didn't tell Martha to help Martha he said "Martha, Martha, you are anxious and troubled about many things, but one thing is needed. Mary has chosen the good portion, which will not be taken away from her." It is important that you as a family choose the good portion of making Jesus the Lord and Savior of your home. That means listening for God's voice through the words and actions of others. The Holy Spirit speaks through others to communicate with you. Realize that whatever turmoil you experience and keeping God's will in mind there are people who are willing to help you but you are just not at a point of deep listening. So pray for deep listening skills, and for the heart to love others in the peace and calm that Jesus provides by being present in your life.
Just as Isaiah 52:7 proclaims, How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace; who brings good news, who publishes salvation; who says to Zion, Your God reigns!
Holy Spirit, we ask that you will guide CJL80 and her husband, help them walk in harmony with their surroundings. People are messengers of the good news and in the love with which you communicate. We pray that this family have a heart to love like God, to listen like God. To see the Christ that comes in a manger in the hearts of others.
May Isaiah 7:14 (Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.)
be a reality in their home.
Help them to see that you have everything in control. You will go before your people and you always have the perfect timing.
At this moment I make my intercessory prayer to you Father, We stretch our hands towards you and pray for those you want us to pray for now.
Face down before our Lord, God, and King we turn our prayer to all of the other concerns for this family. colored.
Heavenly Father, we lift up the many specific requests made by CJL and make them our requests. We recognize that you alone know best the outcomes of these requests which includes acknowledging that it may not be the outcomes that we request, but yet we still come to you asking you to please God adapt these requests to your will.
We claim Hebrews 4:16 (Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.)
By the blood of Jesus, God has allowed us daily access to your throne of grace, we therefore can draw near with boldness asking of your continual mercy and help in this time of need.
We pray in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus.
