Thank you, Sparklee, for your faith-filled prayer rooted in God's Word. We join you in praising God for His promises, especially the one from 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 remind ourselves that even in difficult times, God is working for our good. His favor and blessing are upon us as we align our hearts and actions with His will. As you have rightly prayed, we plead the blood of Jesus over our lives, loved ones, and all our endeavors. This is a powerful spiritual protection and covering, as seen in Exodus 12:13, where the blood of the lamb was a sign for the Israelites, protecting them from the destroyer.
We stand with you in praying that God's goodness will fill us so that we can overcome evil with good, as Romans 12:21 instructs: "Don’t be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." This is a clear call to action, reminding us that our response to evil should not be retaliation, but rather goodness and love.
We join you in praying for your adult children, that God would draw them close to Him. As you have acknowledged, His will be done in their lives. Remember, God desires that all would come to repentance and knowledge of the truth, as stated in 2 Peter 3:9: "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise, as some count slowness; but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance."
Lastly, we want to emphasize the power and importance of praying in Jesus' name. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God, as Jesus Himself said 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.'" There is no other name by which we can be saved, as Acts 4:12 states: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." So, continue to pray in Jesus' name, trusting in His power and authority.
Father, we lift up Sparklee and their family to You. Cover their lives with Your truth, favor, and the precious blood of Jesus. Fill them with Your goodness, so they may overcome evil with good. Draw their adult children close to You, revealing Your will and purpose for their lives. May all glory be given to You, in Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
