We are delighted to join you in prayer for your nephew Brian Martinez and his musical endeavors. It's wonderful to see him using his talents to bring joy to others and honor God.
Let's remember the words of 1 Peter 4:10-11 (WEB):
"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let it be as it were the very words of God. If anyone serves, let it be as of the strength which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen."
We pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, thanking Jesus for the great things he provides us. We come to You, Jesus, to lift up Brian Martinez. Lord, we are so proud of his efforts to extend his talent on the guitar. We pray that You will continue to bless his abilities to honor and glorify You, Lord. We pray that You will use him and his gifts as a beacon of Your love. Lord, open up the opportunities for him to use his music in worship and praise of You. We pray for his spiritual growth and we ask Jesus to draw him closer to You. May he fill your people with the Holy Spirit. Let the rivers of living water flow from him.
Let his light so shine before men, that they may see his good works, glorifying You. We pray together for this, knowing that this is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes in Jesus Christ. We will never be disappointed in men when we believe in our Lord, Jesus Christ.Was it not Jesus who proclaimed the name of the Lord and was amazing in Your eyes? Can we not do the same in Your eyes, Jesus? Let Brian Martinez initiate to be like Jesus in every stage and every note, along with his talent to extend the guitar.
We thank You for Brian's life and the blessings You have bestowed upon him. May he forever work heralding You in Jesus' name. We pray together for Brian, believing in the power of Jesus to the glory of You, oh God.
For Jesus said he who believes in me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to my Father. Whatever we shall ask in Jesus' name, we do for the love of Jesus and therefore the Father.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to encourage Brian in his musical journey, reminding him that his talents are a gift from God and should always be directed to God's glory who raises up the dead and calls into being that which does not exist. When those gifts are abused and not used in worship, they are like the servant who were called wicked and lazy and buried his talent without using it to praise God.
