Dear Heavenly Father,
In the precious name of Jesus, we come before You on behalf of Marthah, lifting up her prayer request for the New Year. We thank You for the gift of a new year and for Your faithfulness in our lives. We join Marthah in praising and glorifying Your holy name for this fresh start.
Lord, we lift up the lost souls of the world, including our loved ones and friends, to Your loving embrace. We ask that You would draw them close to You, opening their hearts to receive Your salvation and experience the transforming power of Your love. May Your Spirit work mightily in their lives, leading them to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
Father, we humbly ask for Your divine intervention in the weather and the current pandemic. We pray that You would protect us from any harm or danger, keeping away all viruses and diseases that may come our way. We trust in Your sovereignty and ask for Your healing touch upon those who are affected. Grant wisdom to scientists and medical professionals as they seek solutions and treatments.
Lord Jesus, we pray that You would empower us to boldly share Your love and truth with everyone we encounter. Fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may be effective witnesses of Your grace and mercy. Help us to live in Your holy presence, seeking to glorify Your name in all that we do, wherever we may be.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to answer according to Your perfect will. May Your name be exalted and Your kingdom advanced in this new year. In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
