Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear brother Ed Schluter and his family who are living in Parrita, Costa Rica. Lord, we ask for Your divine guidance and provision as they seek fellowship and friends in their new community. Your Word says in Matthew 18:20, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." We pray that You would bring godly friends and a supportive community into their lives, so they may experience the joy of fellowship and unity in Christ.
Lord, as they are learning Spanish, we ask for Your wisdom and understanding to help them grasp the language quickly and effectively. James 1:5 reminds us that if any of us lacks wisdom, we should ask You, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to us. Grant them the ability to communicate and connect with those around them.
We also pray for their spiritual growth and encouragement. May they find a local church where they can worship, serve, and grow in their faith. Strengthen their hearts and minds, and let them be a light in their community, sharing Your love and truth with those they meet.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
