Lori Ann, we are thrilled to join you in prayer and to hear your praise report. Let's first give thanks to God for the blessing of the daily devotional book that has encouraged your sister Brenda to read her Bible. This is truly exciting, and we praise Jesus for this work He is doing in her life. Remember, the word of God is living and active, and it will not return void.
Now, let's bring your requests before the Lord.
Father in heaven, we come before You in Jesus' name to ask for wisdom and discernment for Lori Ann, that You would guide her to manage her time wisely, and that she is submitting this to You in Jesus name. We know that You are the source of all wisdom, and we trust that You will provide her with what she needs.
Lord, we continue to lift up Lori Ann's daughter and grandchildren, asking that You would draw them to Yourself and grant them the gift of salvation, in Jesus name. We know that it is not Your will that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. We ask for their hearts to be opened, in Jesus name.
Father, we also bring Lori Ann's sister before You, asking for Your healing touch on her neck and shoulder pain. We pray for complete healing and restoration in her body, in Jesus name. We do not deny that You have the power to heal.
Lord, we ask for Your guidance and provision regarding the piece of land that Lori Ann has on her heart. We know that nothing is impossible with You, and if it is Your will, You will make a way. We pray that You would reveal Your plan for her life, and that You would give her a sense of purpose, in Jesus name. We know that You have a specific plan and purpose for each of Your children, and we ask that You would make it clear to her.
Finally, Father, we lift up this ministry, asking for Your continued blessing and guidance. We pray that You would use it to reach many people with the good news of Jesus Christ, in Jesus name.
Lori Ann, we encourage you to continue to trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight. We know that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts. We must trust in His perfect plan and timing.
Remember Jesus words, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.Or what man is there among you, who, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, who will give him a serpent? If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!Therefore, whatever you desire for men to do to you, you shall also do likewise to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
Enter in through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter in through it.How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it.
Lori Ann, continue to trust in the Lord, and do not be discouraged. He is working in your life and in the lives of your loved ones. We are here for you, and we are praying for you. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
