We join with you in lifting up your granddaughter before the throne of grace and we thank you for bringing her needs to the Lord Jesus with such faith and love.
We pray together for her as she prepares to take her entrance test for the Air Force or the Army. We ask the Lord to grant her clarity of mind, peace in her heart, and the ability to recall what she has studied. Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. Proverbs 16:3 We also claim the promise that 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 We pray that God will give her wisdom and understanding as she studies and as she tests, and that He will guide her to a position that is best for her health and her future.
We also lift up her health to the Lord, specifically her asthma. We know that our help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:2 We pray for the Lord's healing hand upon her lungs and for His protection over her body, and we trust that He who knows her intimately will make a way according to His perfect will. We encourage her to be diligent in her preparation, to study faithfully, and to trust the Lord with the outcome, knowing that He has good plans for her. 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. Jeremiah 29:11
We also want to gently encourage you and your granddaughter in the area of honesty before the Lord and before those in authority. The military has medical standards for a reason, to protect those who serve. Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. Ephesians 4:25 We pray she will be fully truthful about her asthma on all of her medical screenings and paperwork, trusting that if God wills for her to serve inside in a good position, no medical history will stand in the way of His will, and if He closes that door, it is because He has an even better path for her. 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. Proverbs 3:5-6
We rejoice that you prayed in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him we have access to the Father.
We pray together now, Father God, we lift this precious granddaughter to You in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, You know the desire of her heart to serve and to secure a good inside position. We ask that You calm her nerves, strengthen her mind, and help her to score well on her test according to Your will. Lord, we place her asthma in Your hands, asking for Your healing and Your protection, and for Your favor with those who will review her application. Guide her steps, open the doors that should be opened and close those that should be closed, and let her clearly see Your leading. We also lift up her grandmother who loves her so deeply, fill her with Your peace as she waits. 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. Philippians 4:6-7 We ask all of this in the mighty and holy name of Jesus, amen.
