We stand with you, Sparklee, in praising our heavenly Father, even in times of suffering. As it is written in Psalms 52:9, "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."
Let us first address the importance of praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is through His name that we have access to God's throne of grace. 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.'" And in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." So, we pray, knowing that it is in the name of Jesus Christ that we can be saved and approach God.
Now, let us lift up the many needs presented:
**Dear Heavenly Father,**
We come before You, lifting up the Christian mom with young children. We pray for Your guidance upon the doctors treating her, that they may have wisdom and discernment in managing her medical diagnosis. Surround her with Your healing presence, Lord, and grant her strength and peace.
We also pray for CG, another Christian mom struggling to keep Christ at the center of her life. Lord, we ask that You renew her strength and help her to continually fix her eyes on You. We pray for her husband's salvation, that he may come to know You and that goodness may overcome evil in their household.
Father, we lift up 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. You know each of their struggles, Lord. We ask that Your light shine in their darkest times. Comfort them and bring them the rescue they need. Remind them of Your promise in Psalms 34:18, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
**In Jesus' Name, we pray, Amen.**
Sparklee, let us continue to encourage one another and build each other up, as it is written in 1 Thessalonians 5:11, "Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do." Keep trusting in the Lord, and remember that He is always near to the brokenhearted. May the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
