We lift our eyes to You, Heavenly and Most Gracious Father, from where our hope and help comes. You are the maker of heaven and earth. Today Lord, we cry out to You on behalf of those persons who are missing. We, their family and friends, anxiously and patiently await their safe return or just to hear news of their whereabouts.
Even though You said “be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let our request be known“, it is heart-wrenching not knowing where our loved ones are.
We pray fervently for the safe return of those who are lost, asking for Your guiding hand to lead them back to safety and into the loving arms of their families.
Grant wisdom and discernment to those who search, that they may be led by Your light in their efforts to find the missing. Strengthen the resolve of communities and authorities as they work together in hope and determination.
Psalm 139:7-10 Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
Romans 5:5 – Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
Feeling Helpless
We feel so overwhelmed and helpless. Give us the peace that surpasses our understanding so our hearts can be guarded from negative thoughts, Lord.
You said You would never leave us or forsake us. And therefore we continue to trust and hope in the mighty working power of the Holy Spirit. We trust You, Lord Jesus, for the safe return of our loved ones.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 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 receive from God.
Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Praying For Safety Of Our Missing Loved One
Abba Father, You are our Great, All-knowing God, All-powerful creator of the universe. And You know that our loved ones are somewhere out there, needing to be touched by the Holy Spirit to find their way back home.
If for some reason Lord, they are being held against their will, we command the abductors to release them unharmed, in the name of Jesus Christ!
Romans 15:4 – For whatever things were written before were written for our learning. That we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.
Strength And Hope In Waiting
In this time of waiting, grant us the strength to endure and the hope to believe in a joyful reunion. Comfort our troubled hearts, soothe our weary spirits, and keep alive the flame of hope within us.
Let us not be overcome by fear but be uplifted by Your promise of comfort and healing. Empower us, Lord, to support one another in love and prayer, to be pillars of strength for each other as we navigate this difficult journey.
May our faith in You and in the power of Your love remain unshaken, serving as a beacon of hope that guides us through the darkest of times.
Isaiah 40:31 But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
Hebrews 6:19 We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.
Ask And You Will Receive
Father, You said whatever we ask for in pray, we will receive once we believe and have faith. We declare today Lord that we continue to stand strong in faith, believing that our loved ones are safe and will come home.
Until then, wherever they are Almighty God, cover them in the precious blood of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We pray they find grace to survive whatever ordeal they are facing right now.
In the name of Jesus, we thank You for Your everlasting mercies, SO BE IT… Amen and Amen.
1 Peter 1:20-21 – He indeed was foreordained before the foundation of the world. But was manifest in these last times for you, who through Him believe in God. Who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.
