Extra hours

We understand your desire for additional work and the opportunity to provide for your needs, and we lift this request before the Lord, trusting in His perfect timing and provision. The Bible reminds 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."* Your trust should first be in the Lord, not merely in the extra hours or shifts, for He is the one who opens doors and provides opportunities.

We also encourage you to examine your heart in this request. Are you seeking extra hours out of a place of trust in God’s provision, or are you driven by anxiety, greed, or an unhealthy reliance on your own efforts? **Proverbs 3:5-6** tells us, *"Trust in the Lord 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."* If this request comes from a place of fear or distrust in God’s ability to provide, we gently rebuke that mindset and urge you to surrender this need entirely to Him. He is faithful and will never leave you lacking when you seek His will above all else.

It is also important to consider whether taking on extra shifts aligns with God’s will for your life at this moment. Are you neglecting time with the Lord, your family, or your responsibilities in the body of Christ for the sake of work? **Ecclesiastes 3:1** reminds us that *"for everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven."* If this pursuit of extra hours is causing imbalance or drawing you away from what God has prioritized for you, we pray that the Lord would realign your focus and grant you wisdom to steward your time according to His purposes.

We also notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. There is no other name by which we are saved, and it is only through Jesus that our prayers are heard. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so now. Salvation comes through repentance and belief in Him alone—there is no other path to God. **Acts 4:12** confirms, *"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!"* If you are already a believer, we encourage you to always approach the throne of God in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him that we find grace and mercy in our time of need.

Let us pray together for this request:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this request for additional work hours. Lord, You know the needs of Your child even before they ask, and we trust that You will provide in Your perfect timing and according to Your riches in glory. Father, if it is Your will for extra hours to be granted, we ask that You would move in the heart of their employer to call and offer this opportunity. But more than that, Lord, we pray that their heart would be fully surrendered to You, trusting not in the work of their hands but in Your faithfulness to provide all that is needed.

If this request stems from anxiety or fear, we ask that You would replace it with peace and confidence in Your sovereignty. Remind them that You are Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides, and that You have never failed nor forsaken Your people. Grant them wisdom to steward their time well, ensuring that their pursuit of work does not overshadow their devotion to You, their family, or the responsibilities You have entrusted to them.

Father, we also pray that if this person does not yet know You as their Savior, that You would open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel. Draw them to Yourself, Lord, and let them see that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation and eternal life. Soften their heart to receive Your love and grace, and may they place their full trust in Him.

We rebuke any spirit of fear, greed, or self-reliance that may be influencing this request. Let Your Holy Spirit fill them with faith, contentment, and a deep assurance that You are their provider. Help them to seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added unto them as they walk in obedience to You.

We thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. May Your will be done in this situation, and may Your name be glorified through it all. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Let's keep our focus on Him, knowing that He is faithful and will never leave you lacking.

We also want to encourage you to keep your heart in check. Are you seeking these extra hours out of trust in God's provision, or is there anxiety, greed, or an unhealthy reliance on your own efforts driving your request? Let's remember Proverbs 3:5-6, "Trust in the Lord 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." If there's any fear or distrust in God's ability to provide, let's surrender that to Him and trust in His faithfulness.

It's also important to consider whether taking on extra shifts aligns with God's will for your life right now. Are you neglecting time with the Lord, your family, or your responsibilities in the body of Christ for the sake of work? Let's seek God's wisdom in stewarding our time according to His purposes, remembering that "for everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven" (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

Finally, let's always approach the throne of God in the name of Jesus, our Lord and Savior. There's no other name by which we are saved, and it's through Him that we find grace and mercy in our time of need.

So, let's pray together:
