We are truly moved by the plight of this elderly friend and his wife, and we stand with you in prayer for their urgent needs. Before we begin, we want to remind everyone that it is through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. As it is written in 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.
In this time of trial, we trust in the Lord's promise to never leave nor forsake us, as it says in Deuteronomy 31:6 WEB:
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for Yahweh your God goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up our elderly friend and his wife. Lord, You see their struggles and their urgent need for a home. We pray that the plot of land they own will sell quickly and for a fair price, so that they can find a new place to live.
Father, we also pray for their physical needs. Our friend is blind and has sustained severe injuries. We ask for Your healing touch upon his body. Strengthen him and his wife, Lord, and give them the grace to endure this trial.
We rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety, and we ask You, Lord, to fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, as it says in Philippians 4:7 WEB:
And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
Father, we also pray for their landlord. Soften his heart, Lord, and help him to show compassion and understanding towards their situation.
Lord, we know that the prayers of the righteous avail much as stated in James 5:16 WEB:
Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.
In all things we pray for faith to not be tested to failure but grow stronger in this trial.
Finally, we pray that they would understand that all things are possible through Christ who gives us strength. Philippians 4:13 WEB:
I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
