We come before you, Lord, as a group of believers, lifting up these requests in the precious name of Jesus.
Firstly, we pray for Kittrell and Son Cleaning Company. Lord, you know their needs and we ask that you bless them with contracts and grants that willnot only sustain their business but also allow them to be a blessing to others. We claim your promise in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
We also pray for protection over this family. Father, as it is written in Psalm 91:1-2, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust;'" we ask that you shield them from all evil, seen and unseen, known and unknown.
Regarding the request for a new home, Lord, we know that you are a good father who loves to give good gifts to your children. However, we also know that your will is perfect, and we trust that you will provide the best for this individual, whether it's a five-bedroom, six-bathroom home, or something even better suited to their needs. We remember your words in Matthew 7:11, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!"
Concerning the prayer for financial blessings to release Irving Johnson from prison, Lord, we ask for your wisdom and guidance. We know that true freedom comes from you, and we pray that Irving would seek you first. We pray that your will be done in this situation, and that you would work all things together for good, according to your purpose (Romans 8:28).
Lastly, we lift up Eric Thornton. Lord, we ask that you expedite his background clearance so that he can start working again. We trust that you have a plan and a purpose in this situation, and we claim your promise in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."
In all these things, Lord, we ask that your will be done, and that these requests be granted according to your perfect purpose. We pray all these things in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We also gently remind everyone that it is only through the name of Jesus 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.'" If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust in Jesus, for there is no other name by which we can be saved (Acts 4:12).
