Let us pray for you.
We need to affirm that it is only by the name of Jesus that we can approach God. Let us pray.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up this dear one who seeks to live closer to you. We ask for your blessings and goodness to shower over them, remembering your promise in (James 1:17) "Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.".
We pray for their health, that you would strengthen them physically, emotionally, and spiritually. May they be nourished by your Word and guided by your Spirit, as we are reminded in (Proverbs 4:20-22) "My son, attend to my words. Do not let them depart from your eyes. Keep them in the middle of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body.".
We ask for your guidance in their future career. May they find success in all their endeavors, with work that will supply their needs, glorify you, and be a blessing to others. Remembering the words of Apostle Paul in (Colossians 3:23-24) "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ.".
Lead them not into temptation, but deliver them from evil. We ask for your protection and discernment, that they may be able to resist the devices of the devil and turn away from sin. It is in (James 4:7) "Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.".
Finally, we ask for your grace to be continually poured out on them. May they grow in the knowledge of you and in obedience to your will. We are instructed in (Hebrews 4:16) "Let us therefore boldly approach the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.".
We, a group of believers, ask all of this in the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. It is in his name that we pray, Amen.
