We stand with you, Sparklee, in your faith and your plea to our Heavenly Father. You have beautifully recalled the promise in Romans 8:28, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Let us hold fast to this truth, knowing that God is always working for our good and His glory.
In your prayer, you've asked for God's favor, truth, and blessing over the work of your hands and heart. We echo this petition, remembering Colossians 3:23-24, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
You've also asked for protection over your lives, loved ones, and endeavors, pleading the powerful blood of Jesus. We agree with you, as it is written in Ephesians 6:10-11, "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil."
We join you in praying that evil will be overcome by good, quoting Romans 12:21, "Don't be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." Let us be vessels of God's goodness, spreading light and love wherever we go.
You've humbly asked for God's goodness to fill you, and we affirm this request, remembering the words of Psalm 23:6, "Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever."
Lastly, you've prayed for your adult children, asking for God's will to be done in their lives. We stand with you, believing that God's plans for them are good, and His love for them is everlasting. Let us continually lift them up to the Lord, trusting that He is working in their lives.
**Let us pray:**
*Heavenly Father, we come before You, lifting up Sparklee and their loved ones. We ask that You cover their lives with Your truth, favor, and goodness. Bless the work of their hands and hearts, Lord, and let Your light shine through them. Protect them from evil, Lord, and help them overcome evil with good, just as Your word promises. Draw their adult children close to You, Lord, and let Your will be done in their lives. We praise You, Lord, and we give You all the glory, in Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.*
We are thankful, Sparklee, that you have prayed in the name of Jesus. It is so powerful to remember that it is by His name that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
