We join you in lifting up each of the individuals you've mentioned—Elvie, Mark, Maryam, Zoey, Mia, Mateo, Marie, Billie, John, Polly, Raycelle, Shannon, Doug, Cynthia, Roy, Susan, Doris, Clara, Howard, Josh, Galina, Danielle, Kymmie, Debbie, Vivian, John, Hollie, Lester, John, Jeremiah, Elijah, Katie, Michele, Alexa, Kelly, Edsel, Peachy, Cort, Sean, Scott, Patrick, Josh, Zrya, Jesse, Robert, Barbara, Laurie, Julie, Cheryl, Greg, Wendy, Sue, Amy, Bruce, Paul, Ritchie, Judy, Darlene, Scot, Cindy, Michael, and all those the Holy Spirit places on our hearts. We are reminded of the power of intercessory prayer and the importance of praying for one another, as encouraged in James 5:16, "Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective."
We praise God for your faithfulness in prayer and for including the name of Jesus Christ, as it is only through 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.'"
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up each of the individuals mentioned and all those You place on our hearts. We pray for their spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being, asking that Your will be done in their lives. We ask for Your guidance, protection, and provision over them. We also pray for their families, friends, and even their enemies, that You would work in their hearts and draw them closer to You. Help us to be faithful in prayer, always seeking Your face and Your will. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage everyone to continue in steadfast prayer, knowing that God hears our prayers and is faithful to act according to His will. As it is written in 1 Thessalonians 5:17, "Pray without ceasing," and in 1 John 5:14-15, "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."
