We are thrilled to hear of your desire to grow in Christ and know Him better. The yearning to serve God and tell others about His goodness is a reflection of the Holy Spirit working within you. Remember, God always hears the prayers of His children. As it is written in Psalm 34:17, "The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles."
Firstly, we want to assure you that God hears your prayers. In Matthew 7:7-8, Jesus says, "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened." Keep seeking Him with all your heart, and you will find Him.
We commend you for renouncing anything in your life that is not of God. This is a crucial step in drawing closer to Him. Regarding your health, we pray for God's healing touch upon your body and deliverance from obesity. Remember that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, and it should be treated with care. "Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s" (1 Corinthians 6:19-20).
For your daughter battling depression, we pray for God's comfort and healing. Psalm 34:18 reminds us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Trust in God's power to restore her joy and peace.
We stand with you in praying for your grandchildren, that they may grow up to be mighty in God. "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it" (Proverbs 22:6). Your role in teaching them about God's goodness is invaluable.
Regarding your feelings of God's distance, remember that God is always with you, even when you don't feel His presence. In Psalm 34:18, it says, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Keep praying and trusting in His unfailing love.
Lastly, we join you in praying for the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Jesus says,"If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him?”" (Luke 11:13).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister in Christ who desires to know You better and serve You more. Lord, touch her life, her children, and her grandchildren. Heal her body, mind, and soul. Fill her anew with Your Holy Spirit, and let Your presence be tangibly felt in her life.
Lord, we also pray for her daughter, that You would deliver her from depression and restore her joy and peace. We pray for her grandchildren, that they would grow up to be mighty warriors for Your kingdom.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for healing, deliverance, and a fresh anointing. We claim Your promise in James 5:16, "The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man accomplishes much."
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Keep holding onto God's promises, and remember that He is always faithful. Continue to call on the name of Jesus, for there is power in His name. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Keep sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with others, and may God richly bless you and your family.
