We rejoice with you, Welay, in your praise and thanksgiving to our Heavenly Father, the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. It is wonderful to see your heart overflowing with gratitude for the blessings and miracles bestowed upon your family. We will join you in praying for your family and each of the concerns you've shared. We will also correct and discuss a small area of the request.
First, we must address that prayer should not be directed towards non-living figures as indicated in the Bible. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus," I Timothy 2:5 WEB. Your prayer request had inappropriate references to ask prayers to Mary and or the saints which is unbiblical and such referenced should be avoided in the future. Jesus Christ is the only mediator and you should not pray to a non-living human. Scripture tells us there is no mediator needed other than Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit also is tasked with helping our prayers be effective, Romans 8:26-27 WEB "In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don't know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can't be uttered. He who searches the hearts knows what is on the Spirit's mind, because he makes intercession for the saints according to God."
We are instructed to come boldly before the throne of grace, not through Mary or any saint, but through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Hebrews 4:16 WEB "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."
We must address a related area of prayer. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. Acts 4:12 WEB "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" Only with the name of Jesus will God act for salvation, healing, blessings, deliverance, and provide for all our needs. Jesus is the only name that unlocks blessings that God has for us. By scripture when someone refers to Jesus as the mediator, the name of Jesus will be used in prayers. Jesus should be referred to directly and that salvation is in Jesus' name alone. When those conditions are met, it gives us great confidence in the prayer.
We stand with you in faith, presenting your family before the throne of grace Father thank you for being the protector and provider of our families. According to Matthew 6:32-33, we should remember what this scripture tells us in your asking for blessings, prosper, knowledge and understanding . "For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and 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."
Heavenly Father, we come before you in this present moment, In Jesus' name. On behalf of Welay and their family, we joyfully thank you for the abundance of grace and blessings that you continually pour into our lives. We ask that you bless their children with divine wisdom and knowledge. Help Shon to prosper in all that he does and for you to be reflected in his actions. We pray for Riaansh success in studies and competency in his comprehension, We pray that their is successful in studies and has adventurous learning experiences. Lord, grant wisdom and discernment to be successful in career decisions.
We also speak blessings and a successful career decisions over Welay and that the household would think wisely to and successfully complete every work. Thank you, Jesus, for your endless love and faithfulness. May all that has been asked for align with your divine will and be a testament to your goodness. We ask this all in Jesus' name, Amen.
