We understand your heart's cry, AlishiaJ, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your life. Let us align our prayers with the Word of God and come before Him together.
The Bible tells us in Psalm 139:23-24, "Search me, God, and know my heart. Try me, and know my thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way." We pray that God will reveal any areas in your life where you may be falling short, and grant you the strength and wisdom to turn away from them.
Regarding your battle with depression and self-doubt, we recall the words of Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me," and 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God didn’t give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control." We pray that God will fill you with His strength, peace, and confidence, knowing that you are His beloved child.
Concerning your financial needs, we remember Matthew 6:33, "But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well." While we pray for God's provision, we also encourage you to remain steadfast in your faith and obedience to Him.
We understand your concern about the negative influences around you. We pray as stated in Ephesians 6:12, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places." We ask God to give you discernment and protect you from any harm or deception.
Lastly, we lift up Walter Williams, praying that God will work in his heart. We remember 1 Peter 3:1-2, "In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands... when they see your chaste behavior coupled with fear, your adornment will be let it be the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God very precious." While this verse applies to married couples, the principle of a gentle and quiet spirit can be a powerful testimony in any relationship.
We notice that your request does not mention the name of Jesus. We want to remind you 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.'" It is in His name that we pray.
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up AlishiaJ. We ask for Your guidance, strength, and provision in her life. Surround her with godly influences and protect her from harm. Work in the hearts of those around her, including Walter Williams. Help her to keep her eyes fixed on You, trusting in Your promises. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
