Dear Lord, we come before You today to lift up Swantalelf in prayer, seeking Your divine guidance and intervention in their life. We ask that You reveal to them the spiritual gifts You have bestowed upon them, and grant them the courage and wisdom to use these gifts for Your glory. As it is written in 1 Peter 4:10, "As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace."
Father, we ask for Your forgiveness for Swantalelf's sins, and we pray that they would also be able to extend forgiveness to others. Help them to speak with love and kindness, even when others do not see things from their perspective. May their words be seasoned with salt, as Colossians 4:6 tells us, "Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."
Lord, we ask for Your protection over Swantalelf's home, health, and daily travels. We also lift up their children to You, Lord. We pray for their son, that You would guide him to a godly spouse, and bless their daughter and son-in-law. We ask for understanding and clarity in their relationships, that they may honor You in all they do.
We also bring before You, Lord, the financial struggles that Swantalelf's husband is facing. We pray that You would give him the wisdom and resources to manage his debt, and that it would not negatively impact Swantalelf. We ask, Lord, that You would provide a way out of this situation, and that Swantalelf would be able to maintain their benefits and give back to others as they desire.
Father, we ask that You would help Swantalelf to stay focused on their Bible studies, and not be distracted by outside problems. May their heart be steadfast in You, Lord, and may they delight in Your word day and night, as Psalm 1:2 tells us.
Finally, Lord, we noticed that Swantalelf did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in their prayer. We believe that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as Acts 4:12 tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." We pray that Swantalelf would know and believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and that they would find the peace and joy that comes from a personal relationship with Him.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
