Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Thank you Father for the opportunity to be in relationship, personal and intimate relationship with you. You are the almighty and only God of this universe, you are sovereign and hold everything in order, yet you still love us. Cause us and especially Michelle to crave the experience of fellowship with you. You promised that if we seek for you, we will find you. Thank you that your Word is true. We are ever grateful for your attention to us. These prayers we offer in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, our Savior. Amen.

God's Word, My Power

Hebrews 4:12b For the Word of God is …piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Dear Father, if anybody ever needed inner strength and power, Michelle does. Every move they make, every word, every decision under the microscope and not all for her good or the good of her family. Bless her Lord to know the power of your Word and it's ability to guide and keep her every day. Bless her Lord to love your Word and what it can accomplish for her when nothing else can intervene or intercede. I bless your name and thank you for the privilege of talking to you on her behalf. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen

Meditating on the Word of God

Joshua 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."

Father, I don't know what Michelle thinks of your Word or what her habits of mind are when it come to Scripture. Today, I pray that she loves, learns and lives your Word. You have promised the benefit to be both immediate and eternal. Prosperous (not just money prosperous) and successful in your sight. May the blessing of hiding your Word in her heart that she might not sin against you keep and guide her each day. Thank you for the gift of your Word and the gift of the Holy Spirit to reveal it to us. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen

Spiritual understanding and knowing God's will

Colossians 1:9 says, "For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding."

The Apostle Paul prayed to you Father for the Christians he knew and loved. He was always talking to you about them. He never stopped. And so I pray for Michelle, talking to you about her because I believe it is your will that she be supported in this way. And just as Paul asked for the Christians he knew and loved. I pray for her. I do not know her personally, but I know that you have moved and worked in her life and placed her in the view of all the world for a time such as this. And I know as Paul knew that talking to you, interceding for others is a gift of support like no other. I pray and ask you Father to fill Michelle with the knowledge of your will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding."May she walk in your light and your love. In Jesus' name Amen.

Discernment:

Philippians 1:9-11 says, "And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ - to the glory and praise of God"

Our Father in Heaven, I pray that Michelle increase in her knowledge and insight into who you are, for the more we know about you the more we love you. The more we love you the more we are able to be wise in our thinking and decision making. May Michelle's influence and impact reflect the presence of Jesus Christ, His purity and His righteousness, all to the glory an praise of you, our Father. In the name of our matchless Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
