Heavenly Father, we come before You in faith, standing on the truth of Your Word in Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Lord, we thank You for this promise and ask that You cover the lives of Your people with the assurance that You are working all things together for good.
Father, we seek Your favor and help, asking that You bless the work of our hands and hearts. In Psalm 90:17, it is written, "May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for usβyes, establish the work of our hands." We pray that You guide every effort, every endeavor, and every decision, ensuring that they align with Your will and purpose.
We plead the blood of Jesus over our lives, over all whom we love, and over every endeavor we undertake. As it says in Revelation 12:11, "They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony." We claim the victory and protection that come through Jesus Christ, trusting in His redeeming power to cover and protect us.
Lord, we also lift up the adult children, asking that You draw them close to You. You know the unspoken concerns and desires of our hearts. In Jeremiah 24:7, You promise, "I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the Lord. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart." We pray for their hearts to be turned towards You, that they may seek and find You in a deep and personal way.
We submit all our plans and desires to Your will, knowing that Your ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9). May Your perfect will be done in every area of our lives. We praise You, Lord, and give You all the glory, for You alone are worthy.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray, Amen.
