We lift up your loved one before the Lord, asking that God would grant him not only success in this upcoming interview but also a deep and abiding sense of purpose rooted in Christ. The Scriptures remind us in Jeremiah 29:11, *"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says Yahweh, ‘plans of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* While we pray for favor in this internship opportunity, we also ask that the Lord would use this season to draw him closer to Himself, for true purpose is found in Christ alone.
It is vital to remember that our ultimate hope is not in worldly success but in the Lord’s will for our lives. Proverbs 16:3 tells us, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* We pray that your loved one would surrender his aspirations to God, trusting that His plan is perfect, whether this door opens or another path is revealed.
We also notice that you have not invoked the name of Jesus in your request. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). We encourage you to pray in Jesus’ name, for He is the mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5). If your loved one does not yet know Christ as his Savior, we urge you to share the Gospel with him, for true purpose begins with a relationship with Jesus.
Heavenly Father, we ask that You would go before this young man in his interview, granting him favor and clarity. Open doors that align with Your will, and close those that do not. Most importantly, Lord, draw him to Yourself. If he does not yet know You, soften his heart to receive Your truth. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, that he may walk in wisdom, purpose, and joy. May this season be a turning point for him, not just professionally but spiritually. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
