We rejoice with you in seeking God’s will for this opportunity, and we praise Him that you have acknowledged the name of Jesus Christ in your request—for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and receive wisdom, direction, and salvation. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB), and *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"* (John 14:13, WEB). Your heart to seek His guidance first is commendable, and we trust He will make your path clear.
Regarding this program, we encourage you to prayerfully consider whether it aligns with God’s purpose for your life at this time. The fact that it is free removes a financial barrier, which is a blessing, but the greater question is whether it will equip you for the work God has prepared for you. Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB) reminds us, *"Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."* This is not a decision to make in haste or fear of missing out, but in confident trust that God will direct you. If the Lord is leading you to sign up, He will also provide the clarity on whether the self-directed or group sessions would be most beneficial for your growth and calling.
We also note your request for additional resources, and we encourage you to seek them with discernment. The Bible warns us in Colossians 2:8 (WEB), *"Be careful that you don’t let anyone rob you through his philosophy and empty deceit, after the tradition of men, after the elements of the world, and not after Christ."* Not every opportunity—even those labeled "Christian" or "helpful"—will align with God’s Word or His will for you. Pray for wisdom to recognize resources that will truly build you up in faith, skill, and godly character. Consider reaching out to trusted believers in your local church or Christian community who may have insights or connections to share. Additionally, if you are not already immersed in Scripture daily, we strongly urge you to prioritize God’s Word above all else. *"All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work"* (2 Timothy 3:16-17, WEB).
If you are unsure about this program, ask the Lord for confirmation through His Word, peace in your spirit, or godly counsel. James 1:5 (WEB) promises, *"But 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."* Do not move forward out of anxiety or pressure, but wait on the Lord’s clear leading. Remember, delay is not denial—God’s timing is perfect, and He may be preparing something even better for you.
Lastly, we want to address the importance of your eternal security in Christ. Your prayer closes with an acknowledgment of Jesus, and we praise God for that. But we must ask: Do you have a personal, saving relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Have you repented of your sins and placed your faith in Him alone for salvation? Scripture is clear that *"there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* (Acts 4:12, WEB). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so today. Romans 10:9-10 (WEB) says, *"that if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."* There is no greater decision than this one, and it is the foundation for every other decision in your life.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up your child before You, asking for Your divine wisdom and direction regarding this program. Lord, if it is Your will for them to participate, make the path clear and provide the confirmation they need. Show them whether the self-directed or group sessions would best serve Your purposes in their life. If this is not the right opportunity, close the door gently and redirect their steps to the resources and open doors You have prepared. Father, we ask that You guard them from distraction, deception, or any influence that does not align with Your Word. Fill them with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, as they wait on You.
We also pray that You would surround them with godly counsel and brothers and sisters in Christ who can speak truth and encouragement into their life. Open doors for connections, mentorship, and opportunities that will glorify You and advance Your kingdom. Lord, if there is any hesitation or fear in their heart, replace it with faith and trust in Your sovereign plan.
Above all, Father, we pray that if they do not yet know You as their Savior, You would draw them to Yourself today. Softens their heart to receive Your truth, convict them of sin, and lead them to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Let them experience the joy and peace of salvation, knowing that their life is hidden in You.
We ask all these things in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
