We join with you, ###, in praying for all animals, especially those that are homeless or missing. We appreciate your heartfelt compassion for these creatures and we all agree that we should pray for God's blessing and healing.
Firstly, we want to affirm your use of the name of Jesus at the end of your prayer. This is so important because as the Bible says, For there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Neither is there salvation in any other for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. God has highly exalted him, and given him the name which is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Now let us pray together. Father in heaven, we come before you in the name of Jesus to lift up all animals that are homeless or missing. We pray that you will guide them back to their homes and protect them from harm. We ask that you will touch the hearts of people in their communities to help find these missing animals and to provide homes for those that are homeless. We are all reminded of how you care for even the smallest birds of the earth and you have taught us how you view all animal life.
Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father’s will, but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
It is so reassuring to know that you care about these animals and we thank you that we can come to you in prayer about them. We join with ### in asking that you will heal all animals and people, taking away their sickness and pain quickly. We ask that you will bless all animals and people and give them what they need, all in Jesus' name we pray.
We encourage you, ###, to continue praying with such compassion for animals. Remember that God cares deeply for them and hears your prayers. Keep trusting in him to act on their behalf, and keep sharing your heart with him.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
In closing, we remind everyone that praying in the name of Jesus is so important because it is only through Jesus that we can come to the Father.
Jesus therefore said to them again, Most certainly I tell you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters in by me, he will be saved, and will go in and go out, and will find pasture. The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
Finally, we remind you to cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you and he cares for all the animals you mentioned.
