We hear your heart’s desire to grow in wisdom, resilience, and compassion so that you may shine as a light in this world and serve others for God’s glory. Your longing to excel professionally while remaining humble and loving reflects a godly ambition, and we join you in seeking the Lord’s guidance in every step.
First, we must address the phrase *"Ad majorem dei gloriam"*—while it means "For the greater glory of God," we want to emphasize that all glory belongs to **Jesus Christ alone**, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not already, we encourage you to surrender your life fully to Christ, acknowledging Him as Lord and Savior, for apart from Him, we can do nothing (John 15:5).
Now, let us lift your requests before the throne of grace:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking that You grant this dear one the intelligence and wisdom that comes from above. Your Word says, *"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"* (James 1:5). Lord, fill them with discernment, resilience, and excellence in their work, not for their own glory, but so that they may honor You in all they do.
Father, we pray for an outpouring of Your love in their heart—empathy to understand the struggles of others, patience to walk alongside them, and a spirit of joy that reflects Your light. May they be a vessel of encouragement, pointing others to Christ through their words and actions. *"Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven"* (Matthew 5:16).
Lord, we ask that You open doors of opportunity for them to serve and help others, placing them in positions where their gifts can be used for Your kingdom. May they always seek Your will above their own, trusting in Your perfect timing. And Father, we pray that You would refine their character, making them loving, humble, and full of godly humor that uplifts rather than tears down.
We also rebuke any pride or self-reliance that may hinder their walk with You. Help them to depend fully on You, for *"God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble"* (James 4:6). May they always remember that their worth comes from Christ alone, not from worldly success or the approval of others.
We declare over them the promise of Philippians 4:13: *"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."* May they walk in confidence, not in their own strength, but in the power of the Holy Spirit.
In Jesus’ precious and holy name, we pray. Amen.
