We join you in lifting up your requests to our heavenly Father, trusting in the power of prayer and the name of Jesus Christ.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the importance of praying in Jesus' name, as it is through Him that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
Let us pray for your physical, mental, emotional, financial, and spiritual needs. We ask God to strengthen you, to comfort you, and to provide for you according to His riches in glory. We pray that you would grow closer to God, seeking to serve Him more and better, as you have desired. Remember the words of James 4:8 (WEB), "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you."
We lift up your elderly dog, Chica, and her health needs. We ask God to heal and comfort her, and to give you peace and wisdom in caring for her.
We pray for the long list of individuals you've mentioned, naming them before the Lord. We ask that God would work in their lives, drawing them closer to Him, meeting their needs, and revealing His love to them. We pray for their families, loved ones, friends, acquaintances, and even enemies, as Jesus commanded us to do in Matthew 5:44 (WEB), "But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you,".
We also lift up those who the Holy Spirit places on our hearts to pray for, including those we see on television or in a movie. May God's will be done in their lives.
We encourage you to continue in your faith, trusting in the Lord with all your heart. Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) says, "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."
In all these things, we pray in the precious and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen. Thank you, Jesus! Praise God!
