We join you in thanking the Lord for His goodness to you and your family. It is so important to acknowledge God's faithfulness and to come before Him with gratitude and praise. As it is written in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, "In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus (WEB) concerning you."
We stand with you in praying for God's peace to reign over your household. We know that God desires for us to live in peace and unity, as He says in Psalm 133:1, "See how good and how pleasant it is for brothers to live together in unity! (WEB)" We pray that His peace will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
Regarding the trafficking of humans we are admonished in Proverbs 31:8-9, "Open your mouth for the mute, In the cause of all who pass by. Open your mouth, judge righteously, And serve justice to the poor and needy. (WEB)" We pray that God will expose the evil deeds of those involved in human trafficking and that He will bring healing and protection to those who are in physical bondage. May His justice prevail and His will be done.
We also join you in praying for your trust in the Lord to grow. Remember the words of Proverbs 3:5-6, "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. (WEB)" As you put your trust in Him, we know that He will guide you and bless you.
Concerning your family's finances, we pray for God's wisdom and blessings. Remember that God is our provider, and He cares for our needs. As Jesus said in 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. (WEB)"
We also pray for godly rest for you and your family. In Psalm 4:8, it is written, "I will both lay me down and sleep in peace; for you, Yahweh, alone make me live in safety. (WEB)" May you experience the peace and rest that only God can provide.
Lastly, we join you in praying for the Southern California fires. We pray that the winds will stay calm and that the fires will reduce in intensity. We ask God to raise up solutions to put the fires out quickly. In Psalm 46:1, it is written, "God is our refuge and strength, A very present help in trouble. (WEB)" May God be a refuge and strength is this difficult time for California.
We pray all these things in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to the Father. 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. (WEB)" May you continue to trust in Him and draw closer to Him in all things.
