We understand your deep concern for your son’s visa and employment situation in the UK, and we join you in lifting this need before the Lord. The Bible reminds us in **Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB)**, *"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."* While we seek God’s provision, we also trust in His perfect timing and will, knowing that He holds all things in His hands—including visas, jobs, and the futures of our loved ones.
We do notice that your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. The Scriptures are clear that salvation and our ability to approach God come only through faith in Jesus. **John 14:6 (WEB)** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* And in **Acts 4:12 (WEB)**, we read, *"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 your son—or you—have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. It is by His name alone that we pray and find hope, for He is the one who hears and answers our petitions.
Now, let us pray together for your son’s situation, trusting that God is able to open doors no man can shut. We also pray that if your son does not yet know Christ, this season of uncertainty would draw him into a saving relationship with Jesus, who is the ultimate Provider and Protector of our lives.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this mother’s heart and her son’s need for a permanent job with visa sponsorship in the UK. Lord, You are the God who provides, the One who holds the future in Your hands. We ask that You would go before him and make a way where there seems to be no way. Open doors of favor with his employers, soften hearts, and grant him the opportunity to secure the position he needs before his visa expires. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard his heart and mind as he waits on You.
Father, we also pray that if this son does not yet know You, this season would be a turning point for him. Draw him to Yourself, Lord, and reveal Your love and salvation through Jesus Christ. May he come to understand that true security is found not in visas or jobs, but in You alone. Give him wisdom to seek You first, trusting that all these things will be added to him as he walks in Your will.
We rebuke any fear or anxiety in this situation, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (**2 Timothy 1:7**). Let Your will be done in this matter, and may Your name be glorified through it all. We ask these things in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

As you wait on the Lord, we encourage you to continue seeking Him in prayer and Scripture. **Proverbs 3:5-6 (WEB)** reminds us, *"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."* Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus, for He is faithful. If your son is a believer, encourage him to remain steadfast in prayer and to seek godly counsel from other believers in the UK. If he is not yet a believer, share the Gospel with him—there is no greater gift you can give him than the hope of eternal life in Christ.
We also urge you to consider whether this job aligns with God’s will for your son’s life. Sometimes, closed doors are God’s way of redirecting us to something better. Pray that your son would be open to God’s leading, even if it means returning home or pursuing a different path. Our trust must always be in the Lord, not in circumstances.
Finally, we leave you with this promise from **Jeremiah 29:11-13 (WEB)**: *"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. You shall call on me, and you shall go and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You shall seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart."* Cling to this truth as you wait on the Lord. He is faithful, and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
