We join with you, Anonymous, in praying for the rest of the year and for our fellow believers worldwide. We appreciate that you've acknowledged the power of Jesus' name, as it is only by His name that we can approach God the Father (John 14:6 "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me").
Firstly, we pray for a sense of peace and calm to prevail over the rest of the year, replacing the nerve-wracking events that have taken place globally. We remember the words of Jesus in John 14:27 (WEB), "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 afraid."
We lift up our fellow saints and their households, praying for their homes to be filled with the peace of God that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). We ask God to provide for their needs, including job opportunities in times of cutbacks (Matthew 6:25-34). We pray for God's protection over them as they go about their daily lives (Psalm 91).
We ask God to grant our fellow believers the wisdom and discernment to understand His will and make godly choices (James 1:5). We pray that they will not be swayed by fear or scare tactics, but will remain steadfast in their faith, trusting in God's sovereignty (2 Timothy 1:7, Psalm 56:3-4).
Lastly, we pray for godly fellowship and friendships among believers, that they may encourage and support each other in studying God's word and growing in their faith (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, Hebrews 10:24-25). We pray against division and falling outs among believers, asking God to help them live in unity and love (John 13:34-35).
We pray all these things in Jesus' name, trusting in His promise that whatever we ask in His name, according to His will, He will do (John 14:13-14).
