We understand that you're seeking grace to complete tasks and guidance on what to do. We're here to pray with you and encourage you according to God's will as revealed in the Bible.
Firstly, it's wonderful that you acknowledge the power in the name of Jesus. Just as Jesus Himself said in John 14:13-14 WEB, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." So, let's approach the throne of grace with confidence in Jesus' name.
However, we need to clarify that while calling on Jesus and writing His name is powerful, it's not about the number of minutes or journals. Instead, it's about a genuine relationship with Him, which involves prayer, worship, and obedience to His word.
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your grace and guidance for our brother/sister. Lord, help them to complete the tasks they have at hand. Give them the strength, wisdom, and endurance they need, according to Your will.
Father, reveal Your plan for them. Show them what to do, guide their steps, and open the right doors. Give them a heart that's willing to obey and follow Your leading.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for their spiritual growth. Help them to understand that Your power is made perfect in weakness, and that Your grace is sufficient for them, as You promised in 2 Corinthians 12:9 WEB.
Father we pray this in Jesus Name. We agree that the prayer request is specifically asking for Jesus Christ. We can therefore come to you in Jesus Name.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord. Remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9 WEB). He has a plan and a purpose for you (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB). Keep calling on Jesus, keep reading His word, and keep walking in His path.
