prayer for josef PH and I

Ephesians 3

that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

the lord has been placing in my heart the burden to pray.

let me pray for josef and puay hong -- two people in my family whom i see struggling with their inner selves.

josef is struggilng with his studies. by nature he is relaxed and non competitive. lord you see the piles of revision he has to do. he wants to do well and excel yet his easy going nature slows him down a lot.

lord i pray that you will strengthen him with your might in his inner man. he does not need to become a typical singaporean but let him be the student you have designed him to be. lord i pray that you might in him will transform him into the boy that you see in him.

i claim the promise that you have plans to prosper and to bless us. i pray that these plans will unfold in his life.

i pray for a purpose to arise in his heart. let the spirit of wisdom to arise in him that he may understand the purpose of all that he is doing. spirit of wisdom , saturate his soul and let god's wisdom seep into his heart.

in your time you make all things beautiful. josef is still young and immature - just a 11 year old. i pray that you will protect him even as sometimes he makes the wrong choices and suffer teh consequences. i pray that in all things, you will work for the good of those who love you and are called according to your purpose.

you have given josef a bright mind and i pray that you will bless his efforts and bring him to the top. you have blessed us to be always at the top, not even mediocre cos you are an almighty god and the power that is at work in us is beyond our understanding.

lord jesus for the coming mid year exams i pray that you will teach josef what it means to rely on the power of god to prepare and sit for exams. teach him organisational and study skills that he can use as he advances in the education.

use ph and me to teach him how to fish dear lord.

i pray that you bless his h ealth as well. keep him healthy and strong and joyful.

i pray that the burden of work will not weigh him downn but make him stronger and more resilient.

PH

I pray that the god of might will change the heart of my husband. he continues to struggle as he wants to be close to god and yet his hearts looks another direction.

lord of might, i pray that you will transform him. perform a heart surgery for him and let him be attracted to the intangibles - which is the eternal and important.

let the desire to accumulate wealth with the wrong objective melt away. let wealth be used for god. let his eyes turn to you and even as ph accumulates wealth, let him do it with you, for you.

may you be lord over his materials. may you be lord over him.

let a spirit of humility and dependance seep into him, that he may know what it is to be your sheep and you, his shepherd.

teach him that you are lord, not him. teach him that you are the heavenly father who provides blesses and guides.

teach him about the fellwoship with the holy spirit. let it not just be an intellectual walk with you. let him commune with you and in his words, grow deep in you.

in the name of jesus, i cut the negative effects of the past on him. let him not be held back by tha past but let his eyes be fixed on the prize that god has won for him.

is his heart frozen? does he look to relate with people? even in church work and family, i do not see him relating well with people,

god of wisdom, i pray that you will take him as he is and melt his icy heart with your love passion and joy.

let feelings and emotions arise in him and let him get in touch with his inner man.

i surrender my husband to you dear lord.
