We join with you in bringing your family, your business, your schooling, and your visa lodgement before the throne of grace, and we thank you for inviting us to pray with you.
We hear your heart for God's protection and divine favor over every area of your life, and for His blessing upon your upcoming biometric appointment and visa process. We know that God cares about every detail of our lives and He is sovereign over every door that opens or closes.
The Lord is your keeper and protector. Psalm 121:7-8 says, Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forevermore. And Psalm 91:1-2 reminds us, He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust. We pray this covering over your family, that He would guard your household in unity, peace, and health, and keep you from harm.
For your business and your schooling, we encourage you to commit all your work to the Lord in honesty and diligence. Proverbs 16:3 says, Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. And Colossians 3:23 says, Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men. Whether in business dealings or in studies, seek to honor Him, and ask Him for wisdom, for James 1:5 says, 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. We pray God would give you understanding in your studies and integrity and provision in your business, for Philippians 4:19 says, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Concerning your visa lodgement and biometrics, we pray for God's favor to go before you. Psalm 5:12 says, For you will bless the righteous, Yahweh. You will surround him with favor as with a shield. We pray that if it is His will, He would grant you favor with those who review your application and that Your steps would be ordered by Him. Jeremiah 29:11 says, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. We trust that whatever the outcome, God will work it for your good as you walk with Him, for Romans 8:28 says, We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose. We encourage you to be truthful and thorough in all your documents and to trust the Lord with the result rather than being anxious, for Philippians 4:6-7 says, In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.
We noticed your request speaks of God's protection and favor, but does not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly share that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and can come boldly to Him in prayer. John 14:6 says, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 says, 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. It is by placing our faith in Jesus, His death and resurrection for our sins, that we are reconciled to God and our prayers are heard. If you have not already, we encourage you to put your trust fully in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, and we lift up this dear one and their family to You. We ask for Your divine protection over their household, over their going out and coming in, and that You would keep them in health, unity, and peace. We ask for Your blessing upon their business, that You would establish the work of their hands and provide for every need according to Your riches in glory. We ask for wisdom and understanding in their schooling, that You would give clarity of mind and diligence to learn well for Your glory. Lord, we place their visa lodgement and upcoming biometrics into Your hands. We ask for Your favor and Your will to be done. Go before them, grant them peace as they wait, surround them with favor as with a shield, and let Your perfect plan prevail. Above all, draw them and their family closer to You through Jesus Christ, that they would know Your peace which surpasses all understanding. We ask all these things in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
