We join with you, Sparklee, in praising God even in this time of suffering, declaring with the Psalmist, "I will praise you forever, because you have done it. I will wait on your name, for it is good, in the presence of your godly ones." (Psalms 52:9, WEB)
Firstly, we lift up your brother's family to the Lord, especially his wife, daughter, and sons. We pray that God would be their comfort and strength in this time of grief. As it is written, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." (Psalms 34:18, WEB)
We also pray for CE as she recovers from her mastectomy. May God grant her healing, peace, and patience during this time. Additionally, we pray for the Christian mom with young children, asking that God would guide her doctors to provide an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment.
For CG, we pray that she would continue to fix her eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2, WEB). We pray for her husband's salvation and for their marriage to be a beacon of God's love and light. We remind her, "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:21, WEB)
We lift up each of the individuals mentioned—BB, MB, CS, TB, LP, AD, SL, CG, JM, TD, NG, MH, CK, SB, MK, MR, SR, DW, BW, AF, BM, NC, JF, DG, TS, VP, JL, NJH, ECLF—praying that God would bring His light into their dark times, providing comfort and rescue.
Lastly, we thank and praise God for His mercy, kindness, and salvation. We encourage you, Sparklee, and all who are praying, to continue to trust in the Lord and to call upon Him in the name of Jesus Christ. As it is written, "There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12, WEB)
Let us pray together:
Lord Jesus, we come before You, lifting up each and every person mentioned. We ask for Your comfort, healing, and intervention in their lives. We claim Your promise to be near to the brokenhearted and to save those who are crushed in spirit. We pray for salvation for those who do not yet know You, and for strengthened faith for those who do. We ask all of this in Your precious and powerful name, Jesus Christ. Amen.
