We join with you, Sparklee, in lifting up your needs and praises to our loving and faithful God. We are thankful for your real relationship with the Lord and for the trust you place in Him. It is wonderful to see your heart's desire to seek God's will and to cast your burdens upon Him. As the Scripture says, "Cast your burden on Yahweh, and He will sustain you. He will never allow the righteous to be shaken." (Psalm 55:22 WEB). Also, the Bible says, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." (Philippians 4:6 WEB).
We are not alone in our efforts to be free from the bondage of sin, depression, and anger. Jesus is our friend and savior who sticketh closer than a brother. The book of Proverbs reminds us, "A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity." (Proverbs 17:17 WEB). The Bible also tells us, "But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off are made near in the blood of Christ." (Ephesians 2:13 WEB).
We pray for your health concerns, and for God's favor and guidance in your tasks. We ask God to grant you words that are guided by Him, and for an increase in your tithes and offerings as you faithfully serve Him. We join you in praying for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6 WEB), and for God's intervention, protection, rescue, comfort, and healing for all those who are suffering.
Regarding JM, we pray and ask for healing of heart palpitations. We know that the Lord can heal the heart of JM. We pray for a strengthening of faith and healing of emotions.
In addition, we pray for deliverance from anger and depression, and for God's comfort and salvation for SB, NP, JT, MB, ECLF, and others in their trials. We ask for wisdom and discernment for each person to be drawn closer to the Lord and for doors that lead to danger to be shut.
We also pray for strength and excellence in your work, and for God's protection and deliverance from all evil. We ask God to help you manage your obligations and to make your efforts successful.
We are reminded of the power of Jesus' name, as the Scripture says, "Whatever you will ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." (John 14:13 WEB). We are so glad to see that you acknowledge the power in the name of Jesus, as you conclude your prayer with "In Jesus Name." It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As the Bible says, "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!" (Acts 4:12 WEB).
Finally, we give thanks to God for all His blessings, and we give Him all the praise and credit. We pray that the peace of God will be with you. As the Bible says, "The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7 WEB).
We pray this all in Jesus' name.
