Here is a simple easy to remember method for praying for those around you, even if you don’t know their specific needs. The five requests are based on the word “B-L-E-S-S”.
B - Body - For health, safety, and physical needs.
L - Labors - For the success and prospering of their work and/or studies (Jeremiah 29:7).
E - Emotions - For peace and joy to replace fear and anxiety (Matthew 10:13).
S - Social life - For family’s to function well together in their community.
S - Salvation - For each to understand salvation in Jesus Christ, and come to know Him personally and grow in their spiritual lives.
Now, it’s time to practice.
Take a minute right now to B-L-E-S-S someone. A co-worker, a neighbor, a student, etc.
Then tell us below who you prayed for, maybe some others will prayer for them too.
You can remember this pattern by using the 5 fingers of your hand.

I am starting to share many of your ideas and prayer models with our congregation in the form of a bulletin insert!
I asked God to Bless my family, Brad, Marina, Julie, Eddie, Aaron, Hayley, James and Jessica. I prayed that they will come to know Jesus and accept Him as their saviour, love Him, and serve Him. I thanked God for making himself known to my husband Brian before he died and went to be with His Lord and Saviour.
Prayer changes things, that I know.
Ibless my son Bongani and his friends at the college where he is att ending classes.I thank God that he has gone through a lot already.
I bless my daughter and her new friends who do not seem to share her faith. I thank God for all the circumstances in her life.
I Bless my Husband, Daughter,and My Mother and Father today
B- That their bodies would be strong and healthy and equipped to take on the day. That they have strength in their muscles to go out and do the work of the Lord.
L- That the work they do will prosper
E- They they find peace overwhelming their lives instead of fear and anxiety
S- That our family is strengthened even though some of us are far away that our connection to one another stay strong and when my husband returns from deployment that our family be able to reconnect and be stronger than before he ever left.
S- That through the power of the holy spirit those family member who are not saved and walking with Jesus turn to him and know truth and that my baby girl soon makes her own decisions to follow Jesus and be reborn into the body of believers.
I love my husband, my daughter and my biggest supporters My parents! God Bless each of you!
Amen.
I bless for my God children and their families. I bless Hannah and Veronica.
For their tiny bodies and mind to grow every day in glory of God.
For their times spent as they learn the ways of the world that they will learn more of who created this world. May their parents come along side them every day showing , revealing how great is their God.
For any fear and anxieties that tries to get a hold of them or their parents be simply crushed by our heavenly Father as we lift them in prayer.
May their families be united with the common thread that God loves them and is in relationship with them every second of their lives.. may they see it and feel it.
Lastly, may their parents be the true example of reflecting salvation that they each will have accepted fully God’s love through the Son he gave up for our Sins. Our precious lamb. May their salvation be made today and renewed each day of their waking lives.
I bless my God children and their families with all of the above and brought to our Might God’s precious throne.
In Jesus name, Amen
I pray for both of my adult children and their families. I pray for each ones salvation and that each one will sumit their lives unto the Lord and serve him and His purposes for His Glory. I bind their minds, will, and lives to the mind, will, and life of Christ Jesus.
I pray for my granddaughter today, as she is drawing nigh to God, that God will protect her from evil and the evil one, and that she will find favor with teachers, and that God will show himself strong on her behalf today, and that He will use her as a witness to many, giving her a Hioly boldness that she never dreamed that she could have. And I also pray for my son, Tom, and daughter-in-law, who have three teenagers and a mother, who is losing her memory, to take care, that they will have patience and understanding with the mother, and that God will give them the grace they need and draw them closer to himself.
I prayed for my 33 yr old handicapped grand daughter. Multiple physical problems & totally dependent on others for all her physical needs
I prayed for my daughter Cristina a dog-handler deployed in Kuwait. My prayer is first and foremost for her safety and those she works with, but also that she will continue to SHINE LIKE THE STARS for Jesus in her walk, talk, and love for her country.
Thank you my dear Cristina for your sacrifice at this time being part of our military and being so committed to what you are there to do.
I love you miss you hug you but am so very PROUD OF YOU!
May God hold you close and hug you for me today!!!
Love, mom
I prayed for my daughter Kyndra
praying for the body of Christ, that we all remain strong in our prayer life for the lost, peace of Jerusalem, America, our families, friends, children, soldiers and those who are suffering. I pray for all the needs listed in others prayer requests, Abba, thank You for Your mercy on us.
I prayed for my 3 adult children and their spouses. This next generation is facing, on a daily basis, more challenges than our generation ever did or will. Satan is a hard worker, then he is a hard task-maker. We have to lift our young adults and families up in prayer constantly. My grandchildren are growing up in a time when it is taught in school (K-4 and up) that it is normal for a family to consist of 2 males or 2 females as moms and dads. Dear God please have mercy on us all.
I prayed for Brenda, co-worker
Alexis, Thanks for your kind words and feel free to use this in ways that will bless God and others.

PS if we would like to use it in a class or with helpful notes to those we minister too, do we need to get permission from you?
I pray that the Holy Spirit will supernaturally intervene in the spirit of my two grown sons, Tim and Andy, to connect with that sweet spirit they once had when they were small children, to overcome the lies that Satan has used to keep them from a saving knowledge of the Gospel.
