We join you, Deerly54, in praying for Keith, and we appreciate that this request glorifies Jesus Christ as Lord. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. You are doing the right thing to pray for Keith's relationship with Jesus to increase.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Keith to You. Lord, we ask that You will draw Keith closer to You, that he may know You more intimately and acknowledge that apart from You, he can do nothing. As it is written in John 15:5 WEB: "I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me, and I in him, the same bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing."
Father, we pray that you will be delighted to show Keith even more favor, grace, and mercy. We are now therefore God's children by faith in Jesus Christ. The promises are made to Abraham and his seed. The scripture does not say, "and to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "and to your seed," which is Christ. (Galatians 3:26,29 WEB)
Lord, we ask that You will hear our prayers and answer them according to Your will. Help Keith to grow in the knowledge of You, to become more like Christ, and to walk in Your ways. In Jesus Christ's mighty name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to pray for Keith and trust that God is working in his life. As it is written in Romans 8:28.
We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.
Be encouraged, Deerly54, as you intercede for Keith. Remember that 1 John 5:14-15 WEB assures us:
This is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
We do not know Keith's relationship status. If Keith is in a relationship, we pray that he will stay pure and flee from fornication. If this is not applicable to Keith, please disregard this part of our response.
1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin that a man does is outside the body," but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
