We understand that you have a lot on your mind and heart, and we want to address each of your concerns in a way that aligns with biblical principles and brings glory to God.
Firstly, we want to commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, as it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB, "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."
Let's address your requests one by one.
For your son, you've asked for his health and academic success. It's important to remember that God cares about every aspect of our lives, including our health and education. In Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB, we are reminded to "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." We pray that your son will trust in God, feel well, and excel in his studies.
Concerning your phone bill, car inspection, and financial needs, it's crucial to approach these approaches from a biblical perspective. Matthew 6:25-34 WEB teaches us not to worry about these things but to seek first God's kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to us as well. We pray that God will provide for your needs according to His riches in glory and that you and your husband will manage your finances in a way that honors God.
However, we want to lovingly remind you that financial struggles are often an opportunity to trust God more and assess our priorities. In 1 Timothy 6:6-10, we are warned against the love of money, which can lead to all kinds of evil. Instead, we should pursue godliness with contentment, which is great gain.
Lastly, we want to address the fact that you mentioned your husband in your prayer but did not explicitly pray for him or your marriage. As a Christian, it's essential to pray for your spouse and your union, which should be a reflection of Christ and the church. In Ephesians 5:22-33 WEB, we are given clear instructions on the roles of husbands and wives in marriage. We encourage you to pray for your husband's spiritual growth, leadership, and love towards you, and for your submission, respect, and love towards him.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up this family. Lord, we pray for their son's health and academic success. We ask that You guide him in Your truth and help him to excel in his studies. We pray for their financial needs, that You will provide for them according to Your riches in glory. Help them to manage their finances wisely and to trust in You always. We also pray for their marriage, that it will be a reflection of Christ and the church. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
