Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with hearts full of gratitude and trust in Your divine wisdom and love. We lift up an old acquaintance, a Christian man, to Your throne of grace. Lord, we ask for Your protection and guidance as he travels. May Your angels encamp around him (Psalm 91:11) and keep him safe from all harm. Grant him a joyful and peaceful time with his family, and may their fellowship be filled with love and unity.
We also bring before You his elderly mother. Lord, You are the Great Physician, and we ask for Your healing touch upon her. Strengthen her body and renew her health, according to Your will (Jeremiah 30:17). May she experience Your comfort and peace in her daily life.
Father, we lift up the desire for a deeper connection with this man. We pray that if it is Your will, You would open the doors for a meaningful friendship or relationship. Guide both hearts in Your truth and love, and heal any past wounds that may hinder their growth (Psalm 147:3). May they both seek a strong personal relationship with Jesus Christ, drawing near to You daily (James 4:8).
We also pray that this man is free from any addictions, and if he has struggled with them in the past, we ask for complete recovery and deliverance (1 Corinthians 10:13). May he walk in the freedom that Christ has purchased for him.
Lord, we ask for encouragement and guidance for this dear one who is seeking Your will in the area of relationships. Grant wisdom and discernment, and lead to a Christian husband who is right and pleasing in Your sight (Proverbs 3:5-6). May this future relationship be built on the solid foundation of Christ and bring glory to Your name.
In Jesus' precious and holy name, we pray. Amen.
