We join you, Sparklee, in lifting up these precious souls to the throne of grace, trusting in the power of prayer and the goodness of God.
Firstly, we commend you for praising God 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." It is right to acknowledge God's goodness and faithfulness, even in the darkest times.
We join you in praying for the Christian mom with young children, asking God to guide doctors as they treat her medical diagnosis. We claim God's healing power over her life, trusting in His ability to redeem and restore. As a group, we also lift up the Christian mothers struggling to keep Christ at the center of their homes. We pray for their husbands, that they too may come to know the saving power of Jesus Christ. We stand on the promise in 1 Peter 3:1-2, "Wives, in the same way, be submissive to your own husbands so that, if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won over without a word through your holy behavior, as they observe your pure conduct in reverence."
We lift up each individual mentioned - BB, MB, CS, TB, LP, AK, SE, SL, CG, JM, TD, NG, MH, CK, SB, MK, MR, SR, DW, BW, AF, BM, NC, JF, DG, TS, VP, JL, NJH, ECLF. Lord, bring your light into their extremely dark times. Comfort them, rescue them, and grant them your peace that transcends all understanding.
We also pray for insight, wisdom, and rapport with AM. We trust in God's promise in James 1:5, "But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."
Lastly, we thank and praise God for His nearness to the brokenhearted. As Psalms 34:18 says, "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit." We are grateful for His mercy, kindness, and salvation that is found in Jesus Christ alone.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you today, lifting up these precious souls to your throne of grace. Lord, you are near to the brokenhearted, and we claim that promise for each person mentioned. Bring your comfort, your rescue, and your light into their darkness. Guide doctors, bring healing, and draw husbands to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. Grant wisdom and insight where it's needed, and help us all to praise you in the storm, trusting in your goodness and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
