Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the journey of faith that Fastorga is embarking upon. Your Word tells us in Isaiah 40:31, "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Lord, we pray that You would renew Fastorga's strength and guide this precious soul on the path of righteousness.
Lord, as Fastorga begins attending church regularly and has had the blessing of meeting missionaries, we ask that You surround this individual with a community of believers who will support and encourage the growth in faith. Let Fastorga's heart be open to Your teachings and Your love, as stated in Psalm 119:105, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path."
Father, we thank You that Fastorga has discovered the gift of prayer and is amazed by the connection felt with You. May this newfound ability to communicate with You be a source of continual strength and peace. Remind Fastorga of the words in Philippians 4:6-7, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus."
We pray that Fastorga's faith journey will be filled with Your presence, wisdom, and love. May this path lead to a deeper relationship with You, Lord, and may Fastorga be a light to others, sharing the joy and peace that comes from knowing You.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
