We join you in thanking God for His goodness towards you and your family. It is indeed a blessing to acknowledge His faithfulness and provision. As you've requested, we stand with you in praying for peace, healing, and godly rest for your household. In Psalm 4:8, it is written, "I will both lay me down and sleep in peace, for you, Lord, alone make me live in safety." Trust that God can grant you and your family peaceful and restful sleep.
You've also interceded for those trapped in human trafficking. This is a burden on God's heart as well. In Proverbs 31:8-9, we are encouraged to "Open your mouth for those who can’t speak, for the rights of those who are destitute. Open your mouth, judge righteously, and plead the case of the poor and needy." We pray that God will expose the evildoers and bring them to justice. May He heal and protect those who are being held in bondage, and grant them freedom and restoration.
Regarding your family's finances, we pray that God will grant you wisdom and blessings in this area. In Matthew 6:31-33, Jesus says, "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." Trust that He will provide as you prioritize His kingdom.
For Steve, who is on life support, we pray for a physical miracle. In Matthew 19:26, Jesus says, "With God all things are possible." God can heal Steve's body and grant him renewed strength. We pray that Steve will experience God's healing touch and that his faith and trust in God will be strengthened.
We notice that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is by His name that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" We encourage you to pray in Jesus' name, as it is through Him that our prayers are heard and answered.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ. We thank You for Your goodness and faithfulness. We pray for peace, healing, and godly rest for our families. We intercede for those trapped in human trafficking, asking that You expose the traffickers and bring them to justice, and that You heal and protect the victims. We pray for wisdom and blessings in our finances, and for a physical miracle for Steve. May Your will be done in all these areas, in Jesus' name. Amen.
