Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You with grateful hearts, echoing the words of Psalm 28:6-7: “Blessed be the Lord, because He has heard the sound of my pleading. The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped; therefore, my heart triumphs.” Lord, we praise You, for You are our source of strength and protection. We thank You for hearing our prayers and lifting our hearts when we put our trust in You.
Lord, we ask that You lift up all who are seeking Your presence here. Grant salvation to those who call on You, healing to those who are suffering, rescue to those who feel trapped, and comfort and strength to those who face trials. “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope” (Jeremiah 29:11). May Your will and timing be fulfilled in each life, bringing hope and peace as You lead them forward.
We lift up this beloved daughter, asking that You draw her closer to You each day. Surround her with loving Christians who can support her, and protect her from all harm. May every door of danger be closed and doors of good opportunity opened for her, that she may walk in Your light. “The Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen you and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3).
Lord, we ask for a greater outpouring of the fruit of the Spirit in our lives, as Your Word encourages us: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control” (Galatians 5:22-23). May these gifts increase within us, guiding our words and actions each day. Help us to live in self-sacrifice, following the example of Jesus, that our days may be productive and filled with acts of kindness and grace.
Father, cover every area of our lives with the precious blood of Jesus, delivering us from all forms of evil and drawing us closer to You. We give You all credit and praise, knowing that it is only through Your mercy and grace that we are blessed.
In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray.
Amen.
