We understand your concerns and we're here to support you in prayer and provide biblical encouragement. Firstly be aware that we only have access to God through Jesus Christ. John 14.6 (WEB) Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If this situation has not happened, then this is a reminder to be aware that God only hears our prayers through Jesus Christ.
Let's address your requests one by one. Concerning your son, we read in John 14:27 (WEB), Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, give I to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. God cares about every detail of our lives, including your son's school day. Pray that your child trusts God and has a good attitude at school. Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus. We lift up needhelpsobad48's son to You, Lord. We ask that You help him to be attentive in school and to not have lost any of his belongings, especially his water bottle. We pray for grace, that even if he had lost his water bottle, may it be found and returned. We ask that You give his teacher wisdom and understanding to be helpful and patient, guiding him with the confusing assignment and providing the correct answers. We pray this all in Jesus' name, we pray and believe together.
We are thankful to know you are trusting in the Lord.
Regarding the fires in California, we read in Psalm 46:1-3 (WEB), God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we won't be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas; though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah. Let's pray for those affected:
Dear Lord, we pray for Your protection and mercy over the people affected by the fires in California. We ask that You bring relief and stop the fires. Help those who are in danger, Father, and give wisdom and strength to the firefighters. Be close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. We pray this in Jesus name.
Finally, concerning your mother-in-law's situation and the bill, we read in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Let's pray together:
Dear Lord, we thank You for the resolved situation with needhelpsobad48's mother-in-law. We now bring the new issue before You, Lord. We ask that You move in the heart of the person needed to be contacted and that the bill will be resolved in Jesus name. We pray and believe together for this.
