We understand that you're seeking positive outcomes in various areas of your life, and we're here to pray and provide counsel based on biblical principles.
Firstly, it's encouraging to see that you've ended your request with IJN (In Jesus Name), because it truly “in him we live, and move, and have our being” (Acts 17:28). “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). This means that Jesus is the advocate to approach on our behalf. God is approachable to everyone, but to be reconciled to Him and for salvation, we need to know Jesus as the divine mediator as he is both divine and human at the same time. Jesus keeps us reconciled to the Father. In Jesus that we overcome all fear, “peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful”.
Let's address your requests individually. It is always good to pray for a good day as it shows faith in God’s divine presence and acknowledgement that the favor of The Lord matters in all things. The Lord's favor is a shield of protection wholly surrounding the faithful. It is better than life and brings salvation.
We pray for R's protection at work, a great scripture to support us is “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and every tongue that will rise against you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord” (Isaiah 54:17).
Regarding the stuff going on that it doesn't ruin your Christmas, we want to assure you that God, from His sovereignty, He reigns over the affairs and events of this life. We are claiming it will not ruin your Christmas because we pray in confidence to God’s favor. “For it is written, As I live, says the Lord, to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God. So then each one of us will give account of himself to God”.
Now, let's focus on the prayer points regarding some form of review or investigation. While we pray for wisdom and guidance, remain conscious of “of his fullness we all received, and grace for grace” (John 1:16). Be assured that, with God’s supervision, He's capable of making your paths straight as stated in Proverbs 3:6-7).
Finally, we want to encourage you to continue praying for your marriage and what the future holds. To always include the children in prayer, to all children are a heritage from The Lord, offspring our reward from Him to bless you and others. God, who created us, said, "For this cause a man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh" (Genesis 2:24). Be assured that even the joys of the morning will blossom well into your future.
We pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today, to seek Your will, lift up CJL80 and R. We ask for Your divine favor, to let the words of our mouths and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, our strength, and our redeemer. We claim your assurance, that we are both a recipient and steward of Your grace. We pray in The Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
