Father, I ask you to bless my friends

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 tiI 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,

and break its hold over my friend's 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 the evil forces around them,

and reveal to them the power they have in You to defeat it.

I ask You to do these things in Jesus' name.
