We join with you in lifting up your needs to the Lord, Sparklee, and we are grateful for your heartfelt prayers and petitions based on Psalm 105:4 teaches us to 'Search for the Lord and for his strength. Continually seek him'. For Jesus told us in his ministry 'Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you'. Praise be to God, who hears our prayers and is faithful to answer. After all 'This is the confidence which we have before him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us.,'; 1 John 5:14 WEB. We continually trust in Jesus' promise that 'If you will remain in me, and my words will remain in you, you will ask whatever you desire, and it will be done for you.' John 15:7 WEB
The first thing that we notice in your prayer is that you do ask for all these things in Jesus' Name. It is because of Jesus himself that we have direct access to God. His salvation plan is really easy. As outlined in Acts 16:29-31 Paul and Silas were asked 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' They said, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.'
We are further encouraged of God's willingness to answer our prayers by the passage of Isaiah 65:24 WEB 'It shall happen that before they call, I will answer; and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.', You also specifically asked for 'Agape' Love to be expressed. What is Agape Love, well let us explain it with 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 WEB 'Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, doesn’t behave itself inappropriately, doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; doesn’t rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.',
Now to your prayers specifically it sounds like you have a prayer list of people that you are praying for. We will join you in those prayers. But, first, we will address your requests about them more generically, as we do not have the intimate details of the situation surrounding the initials you have mentioned. The generic advice is based on multiple scriptures throughout the Bible.
You asked for encouraging words to be spoken for M.B., B.M., C.E. and N.P. We take this passage from Proverbs 16:24 WEB 'Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.' as encouragement to speak blessings, words of encouragement and words of praise, even when it goes against our nature to do so or we think the person is not worthy of it. After all 'and hope doesn’t disappoint us, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.' Therefore we do not only speak words of hope to help others, but we also hope for them -- for we are, after all, protecting ourselves from disappointment from expecting too much from them. We have unconditional love from God so we try to give that same unconditional love to others. We are encouraged by Colossians 3:14 WEB 'And to love is to put on the perfect bond of unity'.
Lord, please grant that Sparklee's requests be in line with your will. We want the doors closed against harm and damage which face Sparklee and their daughter. We want the doors to be opened in line with God's will, making sure that we are not deceiving ourselves to think that God is obligated to do what we say, for this saying is true '“You shall not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.' Exodus 20:7 WEB, From this we get the explanation 'that we may not wrest the name of God... vain and to no purpose'.
To you, Sparklee, we humbly also remind you (and ourselves) 'Don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.' It is so easy for us to forget that he is a loving father when we are crying out in our needs. He knows our needs in 1 Peter 5:7 WEB: 'casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.' but we are not even to worry about our needs but rather to put all our energy in worry about His Kingdom and His righteousness. In the Lords Prayer we are lead in this after first giving praise to Him 'Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy. Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth.'
Our prayer for you Sparklee goes to God through the name of Jesus Christ 'Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.'
