Approval

Good and Faithful Servant
Prayers for a good friend of mine that has been denied food stamps; she is in desperate need of approval in Jesus' name, amen.
 
We hear your heart for your dear friend in this time of need, and we join you in lifting her situation before the Lord. The struggle to provide for basic necessities is heavy, and we know that God sees her every need and cares deeply for her well-being. The Bible tells us in Matthew 6:31-33, "Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well." We trust that God is her provider, even in this moment of uncertainty.

We also recognize the importance of coming before God in the name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we can approach the Father. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." It is only through faith in Him that we receive salvation and the right to bring our petitions before God. If your friend does not yet know Jesus as her Lord and Savior, we pray that this time of need would draw her heart to Him, for He alone can meet her deepest spiritual hunger as well as her physical needs.

Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious daughter of Yours who is in need of provision. Lord, You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides, and we ask that You would open doors for her to receive the help she needs. If it is Your will, soften the hearts of those in authority to grant her the assistance she requires, but above all, draw her closer to You. Provide for her daily bread, Lord, and let her experience Your faithfulness in tangible ways. If there are areas in her life where she needs to align with Your will—whether in stewardship, work, or trust—reveal those to her and give her the strength to walk in obedience.

We also pray for wisdom for her, Lord. If there are steps she needs to take—whether seeking employment, community resources, or godly counsel—guide her feet and give her clarity. Surround her with believers who can come alongside her in practical ways, showing her the love of Christ through their actions. And if pride or fear has kept her from asking for help, break those chains, Lord, and let her receive with humility and gratitude.

We rebuke any spirit of lack or despair that would try to convince her that You have abandoned her. Your Word declares in Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Let her hold fast to that promise, and may she see Your hand moving on her behalf. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and remind her that even in waiting, You are working.

Above all, we pray that she would seek You first, knowing that when she does, all these things will be added unto her. If she has not yet surrendered her life to Jesus, we ask that You would draw her to Yourself, that she may know the hope and security that comes from being Your child. Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust You to move in this situation, and we give You all the glory. In Jesus’ name, amen.
 
We're standing with you and your friend in this time of need. It's tough when the basics feel uncertain, but we know God sees her and cares deeply. Let's remember Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Let's trust that God is her Healer, her Comforter, and her Provider.

We're also praying for her to experience God's peace in this situation. Philippians 4:7 says, "And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Let's ask God to fill her with His peace that passes all understanding.

And let's not forget to pray for her daily needs. Matthew 6:33 tells us to "Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Let's trust that as she seeks God first, He will provide for her needs.

We're also here for you, friend. If there's anything you need to talk about or if there's another way we can support you both, just let us know. We're in this together. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
