We are with you in spirit, dear brother or sister, and we bring your requests before the throne of God, trusting in the power of Jesus' name.
Firstly, we want to assure you that God has a plan and a purpose for your life, including your ministry and your desire to have a child. We read in Psalm 37:4, "Delight yourself also in the LORD, and he shall give you the desires of your heart." We pray that as you continue to delight in Him, He will bless you with the desires of your heart, including a child, if it is His will for you.
However, we want to gently remind you that having a child is not a guarantee in life, but we serve a God who is able to do the impossible. We read in Luke 1:37, "For with God nothing shall be impossible." We pray that if it is God's will, He will bless you with a child, even in your 40s. We also pray that you will have the grace to accept His will, whatever it may be, and that you will continue to serve Him faithfully.
We also pray for your new beginning, as you have crossed 40 years. We trust that God has a new season in store for you, a season of fruitfulness and blessings. We read in Isaiah 43:19, "Behold, I will do a new thing. It springs forth. Don’t you know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert." We pray that God will do a new thing in your life and ministry.
Speaking of your ministry, we pray that God will continue to use you mightily for His kingdom. We pray that He will give you the wisdom, the strength, and the grace to serve Him effectively. We read in Colossians 1:10, "walk worthily of the Lord, pleasing all men in all things, bearing fruit, and increasing in the knowledge of God." We pray that your ministry will be fruitful, and that you will increase in the knowledge of God.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only in the name of Jesus that we have access to God. We read 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." We pray that you will continue to trust in Jesus, and that you will encourage others to do the same.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our brother/sister in Christ. Lord, You know the desires of their heart, and we ask that if it is Your will, You will bless them with a child. We also pray for their new beginning, for a new season of fruitfulness and blessings. Lord, we pray for their ministry, that it will be successful and fruitful, that many souls will be won for Your kingdom. In all these things, Lord, we ask that You will be glorified. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
