We join with you in praying for the Earth and all its inhabitants, trusting in the sovereignty of our Father and the power of the name of Jesus Christ. We lift up all those who are sick, discomforted, and fearful, asking God to heal and comfort them in these trying times, for it is only through the name of Jesus that we can come to the Father and receive our petitions. As it is said, we have been given one name under heaven by which we must be saved Acts 4.12. We also pray for those experiencing strife in their relationships, that God would bring peace and reconciliation.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Savior. We ask for Your healing touch upon all those who are sick, that You would comfort those who are discomforted, and give peace to those who are fearful. We pray for Your intervention in the relationships that are being torn apart, that You would bring harmony and understanding. We pray for those with broken hearts, as your word tells us, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34.18. We know you see the pain and hardship that people are going through. We know you are working even now. We ask for your will to be done in each of these lives, providing them hope and a way through this.
We also pray for this world, that You would bring healing and peace. We ask for Your will to be done on Earth as it is in heaven. We pray for those to look to you for guidance and to come to know the name of Jesus and the power and love found within it.
We ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
We encouraged the requestor to use the name of Jesus, as it is by this name that we have access to God. We are told to pray in the name of Jesus, as it is the only name under heaven by which we can be saved. By praying in the name of Jesus, we are aligning ourselves with the power and authority of Christ, and we can be assured that God hears our prayers.
