Dear Heavenly Father,
In the name of Jesus, we come before you on behalf of Steven Bobb, who is eagerly awaiting the blessed hope of the Rapture. We understand his desire to escape the increasing darkness and wickedness of this world. Your Word reminds us to be patient and wait for the coming of the Lord .
Lord, we acknowledge that the signs of the end times are becoming more evident, and it is natural for Steven to long for Your return. However, we also recognize that Your perfect timing is at work, and You have a purpose for each moment. Help Steven to trust in Your sovereignty and to find peace in knowing that You are in control.
We pray that Steven will not lose heart or become discouraged by the worsening state of the world. Instead, may he find strength and hope in Your promises. Remind him of the words of Jesus, who encouraged us to pray always and be accounted worthy to escape the tribulations that will come upon the earth .
Father, we ask that You would grant Steven the grace to remain steadfast in his faith and to continue to shine Your light in the midst of darkness. Help him to be a beacon of hope and love to those around him, even as the world grows darker. May he be a witness of Your truth and salvation, leading others to find refuge in You.
We also pray for Steven's patience and endurance during this waiting period. Help him to focus on growing in grace, seeking conversion for the unconverted, and encouraging others to make a decision to follow You. Strengthen his resolve to pray more earnestly and to seek Your face daily.
Lord, we lift up Steven's concerns and desires to You, trusting that You hear our prayers. Grant him peace and assurance as he waits for the blessed hope of Your return. May he find comfort in knowing that You are with him every step of the way.
In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
