Prayer Guide for Joe

Prayers of Intercession

Now, my God, may your eyes be open and your ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.

2 Chronicles 6:40

For Joe's shelter, health, mental state, emotions, & spirit to be strong & protected/

hedged up on all sides

Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his

hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. Job 1:10

Show the wonder of your great love, you who save by your right hand those who take refuge in you from their foes.

Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings. Psalms 17:7-8

In a desert land he found him, in a barren and howling waste. He shielded him and cared for him; he guarded him as

the apple of his eye, like an eagle that stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, that spreads its wings to catch them

and carries them on its pinions. The LORD alone led him; no foreign god was with him. Deuteronomy 32:10-12

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and

rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day. Psalms 91:4-5

God did this so that, by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled to take

hold of the hope offered to us may be greatly encouraged. We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and

secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where Jesus, who went before us, has entered on our behalf.

He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. Hebrews 6:18-20

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life; you stretch out your hand against the anger of my foes,

with your right hand you save me. The LORD will fulfill [his purpose] for me; your love, O LORD, endures forever-- do

not abandon the works of your hands. Psalms 138:7-8

Unless the LORD had given me help, I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death. When I said, "My foot is

slipping," your love, O LORD, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my

soul. Psalms 94:17-19

For a signal to be sent: a flare or something, & to be seen

For I, saith Jehovah, will be unto him a wall of fire round about, and I will be the glory in the midst of him.

Zecheriah 2:5 ASV

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to

whom we must give account. Hebrews 4:13

For this is what the Sovereign LORD says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. As a shepherd looks

after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places

where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. Ezekiel 34:11

He reveals the deep things of darkness and brings deep shadows into the light. Job 12:22

For acute senses & sight & relentless spirit for the rescuers

But blessed are your eyes because they see, and your ears because they hear. Matthew 13:16

Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23

For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.

2 Chronicles 16:9a

"We do not know what to do, but our eyes are upon you." 2 Chronicles 20:12

For hope confirmed in the heart of God’s people over & over that Joe is alive

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God; for I shall yet praise

him For the help of his countenance. Psalms 42:5

Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD; O Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy. If you,

O LORD, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness; therefore you are feared. I

wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I put my hope. My soul waits for the Lord more than watchmen wait

for the morning, more than watchmen wait for the morning. O Israel, put your hope in the LORD, for with the LORD is

unfailing love and with him is full redemption. He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins. Psalms 130:1-8

Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his

compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. I say to myself, "The LORD is my

portion; therefore I will wait for him." The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him; it is

good to wait quietly for the salvation of the LORD. Lamentations 3:21-26

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,

through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of

the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces

perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has

poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:1-5

For Bret's family in mourning- may they be comforted by God Himself

Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints. Psalms 116:15

You have made known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your

right hand. Psalms 16:11

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who

comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have

received from God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4

And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know

that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint

us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us. Romans 5:2-5

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will

himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Peter 5:10b-11

Who will find Joe? Satan is distracting thus person & you need to lift them up in

protection of God & His angels!!

As birds hovering, so will Jehovah of hosts protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver it, he will pass over and

preserve it. Isaiah 31:5

You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what he has promised.

Hebrews 10:36

This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of the saints. Revelation 13:10

For Joe's Family, and his fiancé, Jenn.

When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul. Psalms 94:19

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross,

scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Hebrews 12:2
