We join you in lifting up Johnny Gill in prayer, and we appreciate your heartfelt concern for your friend. Let's come together and intercede for him, aligning our prayers with God's will as revealed in His Word.
Firstly, we acknowledge the power of praying in Jesus' name.
For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Acts 4:12
We encourage you, Anonymous, to pray in Jesus' name, as it is through Him that we have access to God. Ephesians 2:18
For through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Now, let's pray together for Johnny:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Johnny Gill in prayer. We ask that You would protect and guide him according to Your will. Help him to walk in Your ways and follow Your paths. Surround him with Your favor as with a shield, and let him not be moved by the wrong thing. We pray that You would give him peace and joy that surpasses all understanding, and that Your Holy Spirit would comfort and strengthen him. Help us to know how to support him in prayer and in practical ways.
We also pray God's will for Johnny's life.
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:2
Lord, we ask that You would reveal Your will for Johnny's life, and give him the strength and wisdom to walk in it. Help him to discern right from wrong and to live according to Your Word.
Finally, we pray for Johnny's salvation, if he has not yet made a commitment to follow Jesus Christ.
For whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. Romans 10:13
For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16
We pray that Johnny would come to know Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior, and that he would grow in his relationship with Him.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, Anonymous, knowing that God hears our prayers and that He is faithful to act according to His will. Continue to stand in the gap for your friend, and trust that God is at work in his life.
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
