Heavenly Father,
We give thanks for the unwavering love You have shown, and for the genuine relationship we can enjoy with You. Today, we follow Your instruction in Psalm 55:22, "Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved," by laying all our worries at Your feet, trusting in Your divine intervention and answers.
We pray for health concerns that are pressing on our hearts. Grant healing and strength, as You have promised in Jeremiah 17:14, "Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for you are my praise." May each day be marked by Your favor, productivity in our tasks, and may our words be guided by Your wisdom, reflecting Proverbs 16:24, "Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."
Bless our tithes and offerings, multiplying them for the furtherance of Your kingdom, in accordance with Malachi 3:10, "Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need."
We continue to pray for peace in Israel, lifting up this nation and asking for Your intervention, protection, and the rescue of the innocents. May Psalm 122:6-7 be a banner over Israel: "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: 'May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.'"
For persecuted Christians around the world, especially in Nigeria, we ask for Your comforting presence and protection. May they find strength and hope in Matthew 5:10, "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Grant us the strength to fulfill our duties and commitments with excellence, finding forward motion in all undertakings, inspired by Colossians 3:23, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men."
We seek wisdom in managing our obligations, making our efforts successful. Provide NH with a heart of acceptance, agape love, and forgiveness, drawing them closer to You. For JM, grant the power to overcome anger and depression, as echoed in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through him who strengthens me."
We offer all praise and credit to You, Lord, for every blessing and answer to prayer. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus, we pray,
Amen.
