We join you in lifting up your family before the throne of grace, seeking God's protection, healing, and growth in Christ Jesus. Let us come boldly, for we are reminded in Hebrews 4:16, "Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need".
Father God, we ask that You extend Your hand of protection and healing over this family. As Your word says in Psalm 91:1-2, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust." We trust in You, Lord, for Your shield of protection around this family.
We pray for their growth in Christ, echoing the words of Ephesians 4:15, "but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, Christ". Father, let Your Holy Spirit guide them into all truth, and may they be firmly rooted and grounded in their faith, bearing much fruit for Your kingdom.
Concerning work and financial issues, we acknowledge Your sovereignty, Lord. We remember Matthew 6:31-33, "Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
Lord, if it be Your will, we ask for deliverance from these challenges. Provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Give them wisdom and discernment as they navigate these circumstances, and help them to keep their eyes fixed on You, trusting in Your goodness and provision.
We also want to note that we are told in Romans 8:26-28, "In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered. He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Therefore, we know that if this is truly what is best for the family, it will be granted, but if not, we are assured that God will use the circumstances to ultimately bring good to His family.
Thank You, Father, for Your unfailing love and faithfulness. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Continue to cast your cares upon the Lord, for He cares for you. Stand firm in faith, and may the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
