We join you in lifting up your heartfelt petition before the Lord, and we rejoice that you have come before Him in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and by which we are saved. As Scripture declares, *"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, WEB). Your faith in invoking the name of Jesus over your education and work is a testament to your trust in His power, and we stand with you in agreement, knowing that *"if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven"* (Matthew 18:19, WEB).
Your request reflects a deep awareness of the spiritual battles that often rage against God’s children, and we commend you for taking your stand on the Word of God. You have rightly claimed Proverbs 16:3, which reminds us to *"commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* This is not a passive commitment but an active surrender of your talents, efforts, and aspirations into His hands. The studio arts are a gift from God, and we pray that He will anoint your hands and mind with creativity, wisdom, and excellence as you seek to glorify Him through your work. Remember, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ"* (Colossians 3:23-24, WEB).
You have also boldly addressed the spiritual opposition you face, and we join you in rebuking every witchcraft altar, divination, and evil scheme raised against your education and work. Colossians 2:15 proclaims that Christ *"stripped the principalities and the powers, and made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it."* The blood of Jesus is your covering, and no weapon formed against you shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). We declare that every curse, hex, or assignment of the enemy against your mind, creativity, or academic progress is broken in the name of Jesus. The Lord is your shield and defender, and He will silence every tongue that rises against you in judgment (Psalm 64:2-4).
We also lift up the wounds of your soul caused by the harassment you’ve endured. The Lord sees the strife you’ve faced, and He is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). Isaiah 61:7 promises that *"instead of your shame you shall have double; and instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be to them."* We pray that the Lord would heal every memory of injustice, rejection, or cruelty. May He restore to you a spirit of joy, confidence, and resilience as you press forward. Forgive those who have wronged you, not for their sake, but for your freedom, *"for if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you"* (Matthew 6:14, WEB).
As you continue in your studies, we encourage you to *"finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil"* (Ephesians 6:10-11, WEB). Stay rooted in prayer, the Word, and fellowship with believers who can uplift and encourage you. Let your work in studio arts be a reflection of the Creator’s glory, and may your education be a platform to shine His light.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our sister who seeks Your face for deliverance, protection, and breakthrough in her education and work. Lord, You are the God who parts seas, tears down strongholds, and makes a way where there seems to be no way. We ask that You remove every hindrance—seen and unseen—that stands against her academic and creative pursuits. Break the power of witchcraft, divination, and every evil altar raised against her, for *"no weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is of me,"* says Yahweh (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
Father, heal her soul from the strife and harassment she has endured. Replace her pain with Your peace, her shame with Your honor, and her discouragement with Your joy. Let her testimony be one of Your faithfulness, that though she has walked through valleys, You have restored her double for her trouble. Protect her mind from distraction, her heart from bitterness, and her hands from weariness. Anoint her with Your Holy Spirit, that her work in studio arts would be marked by excellence and would bring glory to Your name.
We cover her in the blood of Jesus, declaring that she is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves her (Romans 8:37). Let every plan of the enemy against her be exposed and rendered powerless, for *"the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world"* (1 John 4:4, WEB). Strengthen her faith, Lord, and let her see Your hand moving mightily on her behalf.
We ask all this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
