We are so glad that you have come to us with your prayer requests, and we appreciate that you have acknowledged the Lord Jesus' name in your prayer. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God the Father, as it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5 WEB).
Firstly, we commend you for recognizing your struggle with addiction and we are glad you want God's help. Indeed this is a sin like any other. Be assured, "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." (1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB). Pray for God's grace and strength as found in Jesus.
Regarding your employment situation, we pray that God will open the right doors for you. Remember that God is your provider, and He cares for all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. Trust in His timing and plan for your life as He has promised in his Word, "For I know the plans I have for you, says Yahweh, plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11 WEB).
Concerning the land issue, we pray that God will resolve it in a way that brings glory to His name. Trust in His justice and wisdom, as the Scripture says, "Don't be anxious for anything; but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." (Philippians 4:6 WEB).
Regarding marriage, it is God's desire for you to have a spouse who complements and completes you, one who helps you grow in God's grace and follow God's will for your life. It is understandable that you feel scared and pressured, but trust that God has a plan and His timing is perfect. If you are not ready, God will give you peace of mind, strength, and courage. If God wants you married, God will give you the grace, peace, and courage to marry. If the family pressure is to marry an unbeliever, resist it. In the scripture it says, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB).
Let us pray together:
