We join you, Powers, in lifting up this prayer to our Heavenly Father, trusting in His power and goodness.
Let us pray:
Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, as You have instructed us to do. We echo the words of Powers, asking that You increase our faith and that of our loved ones. Help us to trust in You more than we fear the circumstances around us. We claim Your promise, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." (Philippians 4:6 WEB)
We ask for Your protection, knowing that You are our shield and our fortress. "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'" (Psalm 91:1-2 WEB)
We intercede for healing, believing that You are Jehovah Rapha, the God who heals. "But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays." (Malachi 4:2a WEB)
Deliver us from evil, Father, as Your word teaches us to pray. "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one." (Matthew 6:13 WEB)
Holy Spirit, draw us close to the Lord today. Guide us into truth and convict us of sin, as Jesus promised You would do. "When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come." (John 16:13 ESV)
We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven by which we can be saved. "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Acts 2:21 KJV)
Amen and Amen.
