Thank you, Ilud, for bringing these requests before us. We join you in prayer, seeking God's will and blessing for your week.
Firstly, we pray for your workweek. We are reminded of Colossians 3:23, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men." We pray that you will indeed have a fantastic workweek, filled with productivity and efficiency. May the Lord grant you the wisdom and focus needed to complete all your tasks accurately and on time. We also ask for discernment on what projects need immediate priority. We ask for the spirit of excellence in the fear of the Lord to come on him as well. We trust that the Lord will equip you with everything you need to accomplish your goals this week.
Secondly, we pray for your nutrition and eating habits. We are reminded in 1 Corinthians 10:31, "Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God." We pray that the Lord will grant you the self-control and discipline needed to maintain a healthy diet, avoiding overindulgence and unhealthy eating. As your self control grows, may you desire to change your eating habits for your good. Instead fill you with with the fruits of His Spirit in your life for the good of you and your family.
We also pray for the other members of your household. May the Lord align everyone's desires with His, all towards building a healthier environment and good stewardship. This might be a good time to discuss nutritional goals together as a family. We pray for their unity and cooperation in maintaining a healthy lifestyle that benefits everyone. We encourage Ilud you to discuss a fast with family. They may be resistant to the idea, but this can be a great spiritual discipline. We pray for unity in your household as you seek the agreement in prayer and on nutritional goals.
Lastly, we were glad to notice your request was specifically brought in Jesus name. In John 14:14 Jesus promised, "If you ask anything in my name, I will do it." We are saved by grace when we believe in His name. Only through the name of Jesus do we have access to God. We all must believe in the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved. His name is the only name by which we can be saved. His is the name that carries ultimate authority over every other name in heaven, earth, and under the earth.
We pray all these things in Jesus' name, trusting that the Lord will guide and strengthen you throughout this week.
