A Prayer for a friends family

Dear Jesus,

     We come before You at this time bearing up this friend, her brother, and her whole family.  We rarely, if ever, understand losses such as this friend's  family is experiencing right now.  We ask that You grant to them Your peace and comfort as they struggle through this loss.  We pray that You help this family seek Your will for them in this.  We pray that they would turn to You for comfort and answers.  And that they will trust You with all of their hurt, pain, and confusion.

     We love You, Lord God!

A Prayer for Ravon

Dear heavenly Father God,

     We gather together in prayer for Ravon's family at this time.  Ravon lost his dad recently as you know.  And because he didn't have insurance when he died, Ravon and his family are having trouble raising the money to cover the funeral expenses.  We ask that You will meet this need for them.  We pray that You lift this burden off their shoulders.  This season in life can be so devastating to people, Lord.  And they need Your help, God.  We pray that You will help them heal from the loss of Ravon's dad, and that You will turn their hearts toward You as they seek peace and comfort through this tragedy.  We trust that You will meet this financial need of theirs so that they may bury their dad with the respect and dignity due him.  Above all, Lord Jesus, we ask that You will grant Your peace and comfort to the hearts of the grieving.  Help console them during this time and let them not turn to destructive substances or behaviors for comfort.  We thank You, Jesus for allowing us the privilege of coming to You, and speaking with You in this way.  And we love You, oh Lord our God.

Amen

Lord, I'm sorry

Dear heavenly Father,

     I just wan to take a few minutes here to tell You that I'm sorry for ever doubting You.  I'm sorry that, as I've prayed in the past and didn't receive the answers that I'd hoped for, that I had any doubts at all whether You were hearing me.  I'm sorry for ever thinking that I knew what was best for me.  Please forgive me, Father God.

     As You have continued to reveal parts of Yor plan to me, I'm in awe of Your wonderous goodness, grace, and mercy!  And You, not only are being so good to me, but You are not holding my past ignorance against me.  Thank You!  The more I know You, the more I want to know You, Lord.  And the more of Your will and plan You choose to reveal to me, the more excited I get for what is to come!  And I can't help but say, "Wow God!  I guess You REALLY know what You're doing after all!  I'm sorry I ever doubted."

     Thank You, Lord Jesus, for tolerating me in my ignorance.  And thank You for understanding my doubts and confusion when my faith is at its weakest.  I love You God!  I love You!

Amen

A Prayer for Ronnie

Dear heavenly Father,

     We thank You for allowing us to come to You will our every concern, both big and small.  And we now lift up Ronnie to you, asking that You pour out Your healing mercies upon him as he lay in the hospital.  We ask that You would calm the synopsis of his brain and soothe his nervous system.  Whatever else may be causing the seizures that he is having, we pray that You heal that condition.  We also know that sometimes You choose to use doctors and nurses to heal the sick.  And we pray that You, our Great Physician, would lead them all in their testing and procedures.  Guide them to a swift and correct diagnosis.  Teach their hands the skill necessary to carry out whatever they need to do.  Sharpen their minds to think quickly and clearly.  And return Ronnie back to his friends and family being safe and healthy.
     We also pray that You would be with Ronnie's family and friends as he is going through all of this.  Help them to have a peace and comfort that comes from knowing You are in control.  We ask that You would motivate his children and grandchildren to step up and do whatever is necessary to be there for his wife, to help her in every way that she needs them.  Even place it upon the hearts of their neighbors to help out with whatever needs to be done.
     We love You God!  You have been, and still are, so good to us!  Thank You!

Amen
