Father, I ask you to
bless whoever is reading this right now.
I am asking you to minister to their spirit at this very
moment. Where there is pain, give them Your peace and mercy. Where there
is self-doubting, release a renewed confidence in Your ability to work
through them. Where there is tiredness, or exhaustion, I ask You to give
them understanding, patience and strength as they learn submission to Your
leading. Where there is spiritual stagnation, I ask You to renew them by
revealing Your nearness, and by drawing them into greater intimacy with
You. Where there is fear, reveal Your love and release to them Your
courage. Where there is a sin blocking them, reveal it, break its hold
over their life. Bless their finances, give them greater vision, and raise
up leaders, and friends to support and encourage them. Give each of them
discernment to recognize evil forces around them, & reveal to them the
power they have in You to defeat it. I ask You to do these things in
Jesus' name. Amen
