Let's first address the issue of salvation and the name of Jesus. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. The Bible says there is no other name by which we can be saved. In Acts 4:12 (WEB) "There is salvation in none other, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved!" We should always pray in the name of Jesus, as he is our mediator with God the Father. John 14:6 (WEB) "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
Now, let's address the requests for Maria and Tina.
For Maria, we pray that God will bless her with genuine joy and prosper her in her paths as she turns 30. However, we must clarify that we should seek God's will for a godly spouse for her, not just a life partner. The Bible teaches that marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman. In 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB, "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity?" We will pray for a marriage that honors God according to His word.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up Maria to you on her birthday. Bless her with true happiness that comes from knowing you and prosper her in all her ways. Give her the desire of her heart in a godly spouse who will lead her closer to you, and your will be done in her life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
For Tina, we pray that God will guide her and give her wisdom as she seeks a godly husband. We rebuke the idea of just a life partner and pray for a marriage that honors God. We also address the concern about her age. God has a plan and a purpose for Tina, and it is not too late for Him to work in her life. Psalm 119:90 (WEB) "Your faithfulness is for all generations. You have established the earth, and it remains." We do not believe in just a partner but a spouse as outlined in the Bible. Hebrews 13:4 "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We bring Tina before you, asking for your wisdom and guidance as she seeks a godly husband. Comfort her and remind her that you have a plan for her life. Give her patience and trust in your timing. Prepare her heart for the man you have chosen for her, a man who will lead her towards Jesus Christ. Your will be done in Jesus name. Amen.
