Wejoin you, Heknowsmyname, in bringing your requests before the throne of grace, standing firm in the name of Jesus Christ. In Jesus we pray together.
Let us first acknowledge the power of Jesusβs name. Our prayers are heard through our Lord Jesus. He said "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." He gave us the power and right to pray to the Father in Jesusβs name, because He paid for this right in full. It is Jesus Christ who brings our prayers to God, praying on our behalf to the Father as our great High Priest. Jesus Himself has said in the book of John "Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son." You are so right in placing your trust and faith in Jesus' name. Let's all pray in His name together for the plans you have made together.
"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and donβt lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."(Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB) .We pray that the plans made will be honored as long as it aligns with the will of God, not delayed, not denied, but with open doors of Godβs favor as a result of doing what is right, only by Jesus name. We also must testify the message of the Gospel together. There is only one name to pray in. And Jesus came to preach good news to the poor and brokenhearted. It is the Lord's will that everyone must come to him in repentance. Turning from the sinful life. Acknowledging the gift of the holy spirit given through the resurrection and holy baptism, of Jesus Christ and have faith that his atoning sacrifice was on behalf of you, us, and the rest of the world. This is why he is our advocate. We ask and trust that today be a day where His plan for your life be revealed and there is no plan but God's plan and in His name is all the authority you will ever need to achieve the plan and mission he has chosen for you. Amen.
As for your concerns of your family's health and welfare we pray: "May Yahweh repay you for what you have done. May you be richly rewarded by Yahweh, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.β"(Ruth 2:12 WEB) "For I know the plans I have for you,β declares Yahweh, βplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:11-13 WEB). This is what Jesus and the Father will have for your household and for you in faith. " 'For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,β says Yahweh" (Jeremiah 30:17 WEB) Jesus went around healing and performing miracles during his time of ministry. It was and is still an example of what those with faith will inherit in His name and on His day of judgment. It is why we should only pray in Jesusβs name, with hearts that believe that with God nothing is impossible. We praise the Lord Jesus, as you and we await the power of God's will over this situation and hope to hear a report back of good health.
But be careful with making your plans and events with the mindset that nothing will trouble them. This could mean that you would deny yourself the humble preparation of hearing and submitting to the Word of God that was promised to each and everyone of us. What can be assumed with such a statement, without a correct scriptural understanding, could have a greater power than you know on those who listen and trust in your witness and testimony. Don't plan for worldly success in vain, but rather success with the wisdom that God provides in James.
Regarding your spouseβs healing and long life, we pray in Jesusβs name, as only through him is their power and grace. Be certain that in marriage, two have become one and joined by God as man and wife and joined together with him, being equally yoked, they would remain.
Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praises. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective. (James 5:13-17 WEB)
As for your pressing needs, we first remind you of 1 Timothy's instructions to focus on godliness to provide for your necessities. "We brought nothing into the world, so we canβt take anything out of the world. But having food and clothing, we will be content with that. But those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many foolish and harmful desires, which plunge people into ruin and destruction." (1 Timothy 6:17-18 WEB)
In Jesusβ name, we pray as the Lord Jesus modeled for us by the Holy Spirit praying to the father in the garden Gethsemane, "Father may your will be done and not mine, as you know them all."
As a final observation, we would instruct you to not affirm or bless the household with the words as a priest would that are reserved for His name only. Look to the Lord on high and not fall into the temptations of the world such as the prosperity teachings that are not Christian and not biblical.
