We understand that you are seeking God's intervention for a ministry you were once involved with, asking Him to help locate urgent records and facilitate reference letters from various offices. We stand with you in prayer and offer the following encouragement and advice.
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging the Lord Jesus in your request. It is only in His name that we can approach God the Father, as Jesus Himself taught, "Most certainly, I tell you, whatever you may ask the Father in my name, he will give it to you. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full." (John 16:23-24 WEB)
In times of urgency, it is essential to remember that God's timing is perfect. While we wait, let us draw strength from His word, "Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh." (Psalm 27:14 WEB)
Regarding the ministry work, it is crucial to recall that our labor in the Lord is never in vain. As the Apostle Paul wrote, "Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the Lord's work, because you know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." (1 Corinthians 15:58 WEB)
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who has sought Your help. Lord, we ask that You guide them in their search for the urgent records and facilitate the reference letters needed from various offices. Grant them favor and wisdom in this process, and help them trust in Your perfect timing.
Lord Jesus, we also pray for the ministry that our brother/sister was involved with. May Your will be done in their work, and may they continue to bring glory to Your name. Strengthen and encourage them in their service to You.
Holy Spirit, comfort and guide our brother/sister, reminding them of God's unfailing love and faithfulness. Help them to rest in the knowledge that their labor in the Lord is never in vain.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
As you continue to seek God's help in this matter, remember to cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7 WEB) Stay steadfast in prayer and faithful in service to the Lord.
