Dear Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus, we come before you with the prayer requests of our church and our Christian friends. You know the desires and burdens of their hearts, and we ask that Your will be done in each situation.
We lift up Miranda to You, Lord. We pray that she would fully surrender her life to Jesus, that she would diligently read her Bible, and that she would be led to be baptized and return to church. May Your loving presence surround her and guide her steps.
Father, we also pray for Madison, Madeline, and Meredith. We ask for a deeper walk with Jesus for each of them, that they may become fully committed disciples of Christ. Pour out Your wisdom and grace upon them, and may they grow in their faith and love for You.
Grant wisdom and guidance to our friend who seeks wisdom on the job and for future choices. We pray for success in studying for Match certification and for doors to open according to Your perfect plan.
Lord, we lift up Brenda and Bret to You. We ask that Brenda would develop a habit of reading her Bible, and we pray for Bret's journey to rehab, that he may find healing and restoration through Your grace.
We intercede for George and his wife, praying that they would fully surrender their lives to Jesus. May Your Spirit work in their hearts, drawing them closer to You and transforming their lives.
Father, we also lift up Ines to You. We pray that she would come out of the Jehovah Witness faith, that she would read her Bible, and that she would find her way to our church. Open her eyes to the truth of Your Word and lead her into a personal relationship with Jesus.
As our friend plans to go to the Philippines, we ask for Your wisdom to guide their decision on when to go, whether in the summer or winter of this year. May Your hand be upon their journey, protecting and guiding them every step of the way.
Lastly, we ask for Your help in taking better care of ourselves, especially when engaging in cerebral activities. Strengthen us physically, mentally, and spiritually, that we may fulfill the tasks You have set before us.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness. May Your peace and presence be with each person mentioned in these requests. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
