Dexter, we understand your desire for a productive day at work and the challenges you're facing with your family. Let's bring your requests to God in prayer and seek His guidance from the scriptures.
Firstly, let's pray for your day at work. Remember, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men" (Colossians 3:23 WEB).
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Dexter's day at work. Grant him the strength, wisdom, and focus to complete his tasks efficiently and excellently. May Your favor rest upon him and may he be a light for You in his workplace. In Jesus' name, we pray.
Regarding your mother and uncle, it's important to remember that God desires all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:3-4 WEB). It's crucial to pray for their salvation and that they would come to a personal faith in Jesus Christ. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).
Dear Lord,
We pray for Dexter's mother and uncle, that You would reveal Yourself to them and draw them to faith in Jesus Christ. We pray that You would soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. We also pray for Dexter, that You would grant him wisdom, patience, and love in his interactions with them. Help him to be a testimony of Your grace and truth.
Concerning your desire for a wife, it's commendable that you're seeking God's kingdom first (Matthew 6:33 WEB). Remember, "A prudent wife is from Yahweh" (Proverbs 19:14 WEB). However, it's important to ensure that your desire is aligned with biblical principles. Pray for a godly spouse and trust in God's timing and provision.
Dear Father,
We pray for Dexter's future spouse, that You would prepare her and bring her into his life at the right time. We know that the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him. We pray that you would help Dexter to trust in You and seek You first in all things. Help to prepare him as a godly spouse. We pray that Dexter will be ready and prepared to be a godly husband and a godly father.
Lastly, let's address the issue of praying in Jesus' name. Jesus said, "Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you" (John 16:23 WEB). It's only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, so there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Dear Lord,
We pray that Dexter would continue to come before You in Jesus' name, trusting in His mediatorial work on our behalf. We pray that He would deepen Dexter's understanding of the Gospel and His love for You.
This is basic salvation message: The Bible says, "that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Romans 10:9, 10 WEB).
