A Prayer for Brooke's Parents

Dear heavenly Father God,

                Tonight we prayerfully lift up Brooke’s parents to You.  We pray that You protect them on their trip and in all their travels.  We ask that You make their trip prosperous, yet give them time to relax and enjoy this time, even though it is a business trip.  We ask that You bless them in all they do.  And give them Your peace, comfort, and joy at all times wherever they may go.  We thank You, God, for all You do in our lives. And we thank You for the opportunities that You give us to talk to You, and even intercede for others even as Your Son, Jesus, intercedes for us!  We love You so much, Lord God!  Thank You!

Amen

A Prayer for Restoration

Dear heavenly Father,

     Tonight we lift up a dear friend of mine, his wife, and his family.  We thank You and praise You for what You have done in their lives so far.  And we give You glory for what You are doing right now.  Thank You, Lord.  We also pray that You continue to work in this situation.  We ask for Your protection over all those involved.  And we ask that You guide them into the proper choices to bring You even more honor and glory!  We pray that You will open the eyes of those who are blind so that they will see the way out that You, Almighty God, have provided!  And open the ears of those who do not yet know Your voice so that they may hear Your voice telling them, "Come this way" or "Go that way".  We know this person feels trapped, helpless, and confused.  We ask that You free them from the snare that the enemy has laid; help them, encourage them, and strengthen them to be free; and enlighten them through Your Holy Spirit to know the truth.  Set their minds at ease and give them peace and rest on every side, Lord God.  We ask that You continue to restore this relationship and family.  Place a hedge of protection round about them.  And let this family rebuild the broken relationships.  Help them, even now, turn to You so that You may restore to them the years that have been devoured.
     Thank You for allowing us the privilege to come to You in such a way as this, Lord!  We love You!

Amen

Praying for Don's wife Nancy

Dear Lord Jesus,

     We lift Don's wife, Nancy, up before You in our prayers at this time.  We ask that You pour out Your healing mercies upon her as she is in the hospital.  We ask that You heal her from whatever is ailing her.  We also ask that You lead the doctors and nurses entrusted with her care in every decision they make.  Lead them to the proper diagnosis and treatment.  We know that You often use doctors and nurses to bring healing to people, and we pray that You give Nancy great care through them.  We ask that You give Your peace and comfort to Nancy, Don, and all their family and friends.  We love You, Lord.  And we thank You for the privilege we have to speak with You as we do.  Thank You!

Amen

Praying for Crystal

Dear heavenly Father God,

     We thank You for being with us and promising us that You will never leave.  And right now we lift our friend Crystal before You in our prayers.  We ask that You keep her sheltered from harm and evil.  We pray that You draw her close to Your side as she seeks to know You more.  We ask that You help her to read and understand Your Word.  We ask that You speak to her in a special way as she prays.  Lord, please strengthen her in her faith.  Help her to stand strong for You.  And give her the peace, joy, comfort, love, and hope that only comes from knowing You as Lord  and Savior.  Thank You Lord God!  We love You so much!

Amen

Praying for a good friend

Dear Jesus,

     We come before You now to thank You for everything that You are doing in my good friend's family and marriage.  And we thank You for turning their hearts back toward each other.  We thank You that my good friend has kept the faith and is trusting You with everything he has!  As You know, Jesus, there is still much progress to be made.  We ask that You encourage and strengthen my friend to stay faithful to You, and to keep pressing forward in prayer!  We ask that You break the bonds and strongholds that are keeping these two apart.  We ask that You continue to protect them and shelter them from harm and all evil.  We ask that You show them both the way that You have already made for them to be completely reconciled to each other and to You, Lord!
     We ask all this in Your precious and Holy Name, Jesus!  We love You!

Amen

A Prayer for Greg

Dear heavenly Father,

     We also lift Greg up to You.  We ask that You would sooth the nerves in his mouth and clean out the infection that is irritating those nerves.  And we ask that You heal the tooth that has let this infection set in.  Please continue to bless him in his work and daily activities.  Protect and bless him and his family.  We know that Greg is a faithful and faith-filled man.  And we ask that You would just overwhelm him with Your great love!  Bless him beyond what his imagination can fathom!  Bless him even more than where his childhood dreams would dare to take him!  Remind him, his family, and the rest of the world around him, of just how mighty the God we serve IS!  We pray that You grant him peace, joy, comfort, and rest from all of his troubles.
Thank You, God!  We put our hope and trust in You alone.  And we love You for You are worthy!

Amen
