Thank you, Sparklee, for your prayer request. It is wonderful to see a heart that desires to be searched and known by God, as echoed in Psalm 139:23-24: "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you and lead me along the path of everlasting life."
We join you in praying that God would indeed lead us away from anything that offends Him. Let us humbly ask Him to remove any hindrances in our lives, as Hebrews 12:1 encourages us, "Let’s therefore, having so vast a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with endurance the race that is set before us."
We lift up MB to You, Lord, as they turn a new leaf. Please help to purge out anything that would hinder them. We plead the blood of Jesus over ELC, asking for strength, protection, favor, and direction in every footstep for all. We praise and thank You for everything, for every promise, and for all Your mercy and grace.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that it is only through His name that we have access to Your throne of grace. We thank You for Your unfailing love and faithfulness.
Lord, we ask that You would search our hearts and know our anxious thoughts. Point out anything in us that offends You and lead us along the path of everlasting life. Help us to lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, that we may run with endurance the race that is set before us.

Father, we praise and thank You for everything, for every promise, and for all Your mercy and grace. We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
Remember, it is only through the name of Jesus that we can be saved. As Acts 4:12 tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved."
If there arises a situation involving a romantic relationship that does not align with biblical principles, we will address it and pray for God's will to be done in that situation. We believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as outlined in the Bible.
Be encouraged, Sparklee, and keep pressing on in your faith.
