Heavenly Father,
We come before You on behalf of ###, seeking Your divine guidance and wisdom. Lord, we ask that You help ### surrender all thoughts, ways, plans, and direction to You. Teach us to relinquish control and trust fully in Your perfect will. As it is written in Romans 12:2, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
Lord Jesus, we believe in You and Your saving grace. Help ### to abide in You, as You have said in John 15:7, "If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you." May ###'s heart be wholly given to You, as Proverbs 23:26 says, "My son, give me your heart and let your eyes delight in my ways."
We pray that ### lives by the truth of Galatians 2:20, "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Help ### to not merely listen to the word, but to do what it says, as James 1:22 instructs us.
Lord, we ask that ### be willing to give up everything to follow You, as Luke 14:33 teaches, "In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples." May ### become a new creation in Christ, as stated in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!"
Strengthen ### with the assurance that we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength, as Philippians 4:13 declares. Help ### to remain in Your love and keep Your commands, as John 15:5 reminds us, "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
We pray for Your guidance and protection over ###, as Psalm 32:8 promises, "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." And finally, remind us of Your mercy and grace, as Titus 3:5 says, "He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit."
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
