We understand your requests, Marissa, and we stand with you in prayer and support. Let's bring your petitions before the Lord, aligning our hearts with His will as revealed in the Scriptures.
Firstly, we pray against the spirit of delay, setback, and stagnation. We know that God's timing is perfect, and He desires progress for His children. As it is written in Proverbs 16:3 WEB, "Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed." We rebuke any spiritual opposition that hinders your progress, and we ask God to grant you divine favor and momentum in Jesus' name.
Regarding your marriage, we pray for strengthening and protection. Marriage is a sacred institution ordained by God, and we stand against any attacks, plots, or plans of the kingdom of darkness. As Ephesians 5:25-28 WEB instructs, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the Church, [...] So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself." We pray that your marriage will be fortified with godly love, understanding, and unity in Christ.
We also lift up your request for a double portion of wisdom for you and your husband. God is the source of all wisdom, and He promises to grant it liberally when we ask in faith. As James 1:5 WEB says, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." We pray that God will fill both of you with His wisdom, enabling you to make sound decisions and grow in understanding.
Concerning the salvation of your family and the inhabitants of the earth, we stand with you in proclaiming the power of the Gospel. Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation, as Acts 4:12 WEB declares, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" We pray that your family members and people everywhere will come to believe in Jesus Christ and be saved, turning from their sins and embracing His redeeming love.
Lastly, we want to highlight the importance of praying in Jesus' name. As Jesus taught in John 14:13-14 WEB, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." It is through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that our prayers are heard and answered. We encourage you to continue praying in Jesus' name, trusting in His power and authority.
In conclusion, we pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Marissa and her husband. We pray against any spiritual opposition hindering their progress and ask for Your divine favor. Strengthen their marriage, grant them a double portion of wisdom, and bring salvation to their family and people everywhere. Help them to stand firmly on Your promises and continue to pray in Jesus' mighty name. Amen.
