We join with you in bringing this request before our heavenly Father and we stand with you in asking for His will to be done concerning your admission to study nursing this year at the school you mentioned and for academic sponsorship.
We are encouraged by your desire to pray to your Father, and we want to gently remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father and that our prayers are heard. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. So we come to the Father in the name of Jesus, trusting in His sacrifice for our sins and His resurrection, believing that through faith in Him we are made children of God and our prayers are heard.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we lift up this dear one to You. You know the desire of their heart to be admitted to offer nursing this year and the need for academic sponsorship. We ask that if it is Your will, You would open this door and make a way where there seems to be no way. We pray that You would grant favor with those who review the application and that You would provide the resources needed for tuition and all expenses according to Your riches in glory. We ask for wisdom and understanding as they prepare and wait, for Your Word says If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him James 1:5. Help them to trust in You with all their heart and not lean on their own understanding, to acknowledge You in all their ways so that You will direct their paths Proverbs 3:5-6. We pray that they would commit their works to You and that You would establish their plans Proverbs 16:3.
We also pray that whatever the outcome, they would know Your peace that surpasses all understanding as they present their requests to You with thanksgiving Philippians 4:6-7, and that they would trust in Your good plans, for You know the plans that You have for us, plans for peace and not for evil, to give hope and a future Jeremiah 29:11. We ask that You supply every need according to Your riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19, whether that be through sponsorship, scholarship, or other provision You have prepared. Help them to continue to work diligently as unto You, for whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men Colossians 3:23, studying and preparing faithfully while resting in Your sovereignty.
We encourage you to continue to seek the Lord daily in prayer through Jesus, to remain diligent in your studies and preparation for admission, and to trust His timing and His perfect will. If the door opens this year, give Him all the glory and use the opportunity to serve others with compassion as nursing is a calling to care for those made in God's image. If the Lord directs otherwise, trust that He is still leading you and will guide your steps. Keep your heart fixed on Christ above all else, for He is our greatest need and our true hope.
We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus, our Savior and mediator, Amen.
