We join with you, HIS ALONE, in lifting up the countless cries of God's people to our Heavenly Father. Indeed, the world is growing darker, and the need for His light and intervention is greater than ever. We echo your plea that God would hear each heart's cry and answer according to His will.
We are reminded of the words of John, "This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." (1 John 5:14-15 WEB)
Let us also remember the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is through His name that we have access to the Father. As it is written, "In that day you will no longer ask me anything. Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full." (John 16:23-24 WEB)
We pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for God's chosen people, as we are instructed in Psalm 122:6, "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Those who love you will prosper." (WEB)
In these dark times, let us not forget to lift up the name of Jesus, praising Him for His sacrifice on the cross. It is through His name alone that we are saved. "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!" (Acts 4:12 WEB)
Lastly, we join you in the hopeful cry, "Maranatha! Come quickly, Lord!" As we await His return, let us encourage one another and build each other up, just as you are doing with your prayers.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
