Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6–7)
Heavenly Father, I come before You now — not in anxiety, but in faith — trusting that You command me to bring every concern to You. I receive your invitation with gratitude.
Thank You for Niki — for the gifts You placed in her, for the work You have already begun in her life, and for the clients You have entrusted to her care. Thank You that You are already at work on her behalf before I have even spoken her name.
Lord, I ask You to grant Niki Your favor. Open doors before her in the area of book promotion — doors that no person can shut. Impart to her the knowledge to understand the industry, the understanding to apply that knowledge skillfully, and the wisdom to serve her clients with excellence. Let the books she champions find their readers and fulfill the purpose for which they were written. Provide for Niki and her family — their needs, their peace, and their flourishing.
Father, where my words fall short and my understanding is limited, Your Spirit intercedes with groanings that words cannot express. What is lacking in this petition, You already know. I trust You to receive the fullness of what my heart intends.
Now, Lord, I receive the peace that surpasses understanding — the peace You promised to those who bring their requests to You with thanksgiving. Guard my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus, and guard Niki’s as well. Let this prayer not end in worry, but in rest.
On angel wings, through your small voice, through circumstances you ordain, return your answer and instructions.
Amen and so be it.
