We join you in lifting up your heart’s cries to the Lord, who hears and answers the prayers of His children. Your trust in Him even amid uncertainty is a testament to your faith, and we commend you for surrendering your plans to His will. It is beautiful to see you seeking God’s provision and guidance in every area of your life, and we stand with you in prayer, asking that His perfect will be done in all these things.
First, we rejoice with you in the hope of new opportunities. The interview you face tomorrow is not by chance—it is divinely orchestrated by a God who knows your needs before you even ask. While you may long to return to teaching, we encourage you to embrace this season as a step of obedience and growth. The apostle Paul reminds us in Philippians 4:11-13, *"Not that I speak in respect to lack, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content. I know how to be humbled, and I also know how to abound. In everything and in all things I have learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in need. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."* Trust that God is preparing you for something greater, even if the path seems unfamiliar. We pray that He grants you favor in this interview, that your words be seasoned with grace, and that the Lord opens the door if this is His will for you. May you walk in confidence, knowing that *"a man’s steps are from Yahweh; how then can man understand his way?"* (Proverbs 20:24).
Your desire to teach again is noble, and we pray that God makes a way for you to return to the university if it aligns with His purpose. However, we gently remind you that while we can pray for specific outcomes, our ultimate trust must rest in God’s timing and wisdom. *"Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this: he will bring out your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday."* (Psalm 37:5-6). If this is where He is leading you, He will open the door in His perfect time. Until then, remain faithful in the work He has placed before you now, knowing that *"whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men"* (Colossians 3:23).
We must address your prayer regarding the raffle. While it is natural to desire financial relief, we urge you to consider whether placing hope in a raffle aligns with trusting God as your Provider. Scripture warns against the love of money and the dangers of seeking quick riches. *"But those who are determined to be rich fall into a temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful lusts, such as drown men in ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some have been led astray from the faith in their greed, and have pierced themselves through with many sorrows."* (1 Timothy 6:9-10). Instead of relying on chance, we encourage you to seek God’s wisdom in managing your finances, trusting that He will provide as you walk in obedience. *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."* (Matthew 6:33). We pray that God meets your financial needs in a way that brings Him glory and that you experience His provision without compromise.
Your prayer for your family’s businesses and their ability to stay in Canada is a righteous request. We join you in asking God to prosper the work of your hands and to grant favor in the eyes of those in authority. *"Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose trust Yahweh is. For he will be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes, but its leaf will be green; and will not be concerned in the year of drought. It won’t cease from yielding fruit."* (Jeremiah 17:7-8). May God grant your family stability, wisdom, and open doors to thrive wherever He has placed them.
We celebrate your pursuit of education and the sacrifices made to earn your Master’s degree. It is right to ask God to use this for His glory and your good. *"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going."* (Ecclesiastes 9:10). We pray that God opens opportunities where your skills and knowledge can be used mightily for His kingdom, whether in teaching or another field He directs you toward.
Your prayers for abundance, health, and protection over your family and loved ones reflect a heart of love and stewardship. We agree with you in asking God to grant long life, vitality, and peace to each one. *"Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be healthy, even as your soul prospers."* (3 John 1:2). We also lift up the sick among you, asking for God’s healing touch, knowing that *"by his wounds you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24). For those in danger, we pray for God’s mighty protection and deliverance, trusting that *"he who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty"* (Psalm 91:1).
Finally, we rejoice that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayers. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we find salvation and grace. *"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). Your faith in Christ is evident, and we encourage you to continue walking closely with Him, seeking His face in all things.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of gratitude for the breath of life and the hope You provide. We thank You for sustaining this Your child through every season, and we ask that You go before them in tomorrow’s interview. Grant them favor in the eyes of those they meet, and if this job is Your will, open the door widely. Give them wisdom, confidence, and peace, knowing that You are their Provider. Lord, we pray for their desire to return to teaching—if it is Your plan, make a way where there seems to be no way. Help them to trust Your timing and to remain faithful in the work You’ve given them now.
Father, we lift up their financial needs to You. Forgive them for any anxiety or misplaced hope in worldly solutions. You are Jehovah Jireh, the God who provides. We ask that You meet every debt and bill according to Your riches in glory. Give them wisdom to steward their resources well and to seek first Your kingdom. Prosper the work of their hands and the family businesses, Lord. Grant favor in their stay in Canada and bless them with stability and opportunity.
We pray for healing over every sickness in their family and for protection over those in danger. Shield them from harm, both natural and man-made, and let Your peace guard their hearts and minds. Lord, we ask that You use their education for Your glory. Open doors where their gifts can be used mightily, and let them walk in the purpose You’ve prepared for them.
Father, we thank You for their heart of surrender. May they continue to seek You in all things, trusting that You work all things together for good. Strengthen their faith, Lord, and remind them daily that their hope is in You alone. We rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or discouragement, and we declare Your peace and provision over their life. May they walk in the confidence that You are with them, guiding their every step.
We pray all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
