Father,

I pray that faith would grow in ( ____ )’s heart, and that (he/she) would be fully aware of the promises You have made in Your Word. Your Word promises peace, love, protection and strength. I pray that You would open (his/her) heart to fully understand who You are and through Your Spirit (he/she) may grasp “how wide and deep and long and high is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that (he/she) may be filled to the measure of the fullness of God.” (Ephesians 3:14-21) In all (he/she) does, I pray that Your presence would be real to (him/her). I pray that (he/she) would be aware of how near You always are. Help me to teach (him/her) to invite You into every moment so that (he/she) knows to come to You for every need.

In Jesus’ name I pray.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
