We rejoice with you in this moment of anticipation and trust in the Lord’s faithfulness as you step into this final stage of your application. Your confidence in Him is a testament to your faith, and we stand with you in prayer, knowing that He who began this good work in you will be faithful to complete it. The process you’ve walked through has been part of His refining and preparing you for what lies ahead, and we thank God for His guidance every step of the way.
The Word of God reminds us in Proverbs 16:3, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* And again in Proverbs 3:5-6, *"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."* You have sought the Lord in this journey, and we declare that He will go before you tomorrow, opening doors no man can shut and giving you favor with those in authority. Remember, it is not by your strength or talent alone but by His Spirit working through you that you will succeed.
We also encourage you to reflect on Jeremiah 29:11, where the Lord declares, *"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says Yahweh, ‘plans of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* Whether this opportunity unfolds as you hope or the Lord redirects your steps, His plans for you are good. Rest in the assurance that He is sovereign over every detail, and His timing is perfect.
If this is indeed the beginning of a new chapter, we pray it will be one where your gifts are used mightily for His glory. May your work as an artist and teacher reflect the creativity and truth of our Creator, pointing others to Him. Colossians 3:23-24 reminds us, *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of the inheritance; for you serve the Lord Christ."* Let this be your focus—not just the outcome, but the heart with which you serve.
Now, let us pray together over this moment:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before Your throne of grace as they stand on the brink of this significant opportunity. You have equipped them with talents, passion, and a heart to honor You through their craft. Lord, go before them tomorrow and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Calm any nerves and replace them with the boldness that comes from knowing You are with them.
We ask for Your divine favor to rest upon them as they present their application. Give them clarity of mind, wisdom in their words, and the ability to showcase their skills with excellence. Softening the hearts of those in authority, Lord, so that they may see the value and anointing You have placed upon this child of Yours. If this is Your will, let every door swing wide open, and let this be a season of breakthrough and testimony.
But Father, we also surrender this request to Your perfect will. If there is another path You have prepared, one we cannot yet see, give them the grace to trust You fully. May their identity remain rooted in You alone, not in the outcome of this day. Remind them that their worth is found in Christ, and their purpose is to bring You glory in all things.
We rebuke any spirit of fear, doubt, or distraction that may try to rise against them. By the authority of Jesus Christ, we declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment shall be condemned. Cover them with Your protective hand, Lord, and let Your light shine upon them.
Finally, Father, we thank You for the promises You have spoken over their life. May this process, regardless of the result, draw them closer to You and deepen their reliance on Your strength. We ask all these things in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Walk in faith tomorrow, knowing that the God who holds the universe in His hands is holding you. Update us with how the Lord moves—we are cheering you on and will continue to stand in agreement with you!
