We hear the desperation in your cry, and our hearts are moved with compassion for your suffering. You are not forgotten by God, even in this season of deep need. The Lord sees your struggles—your longing for provision, your burden of debt, your desire to care for your family, and your plea for health. He is the God who provides, heals, and sustains, and we will lift you up before Him with urgency and faith.
First, we must remind you of this foundational truth: your hope is not in a work permit, a job, or even the money you seek—your hope is in Jesus Christ alone. There is no other name under heaven by which we can approach the throne of God, and it is only through faith in Him that we receive mercy and grace in our time of need. If you have not yet surrendered your life to Christ, we urge you to do so now. *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me’* (John 14:6, WEB). *"If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved"* (Romans 10:9, WEB). Without Christ, even if your permit is approved and your debts are paid, you remain spiritually bankrupt. But in Him, you have eternal riches and a Father who cares for your every need.
Now, let us address your requests with the truth of Scripture. You are begging for provision, and we understand the weight of financial lack. But Jesus teaches us, *"Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:31-33, WEB). Your focus must first be on the Kingdom of God. Have you sought Him in prayer and fasting, repenting of any sin, and trusting in His timing? Or has anxiety and desperation led you to rely on the prayers of others while neglecting your own relationship with Him? We do not say this to condemn you, but to urge you to align your heart with God’s will. He is not a genie who grants wishes—He is a Father who disciplines, refines, and provides for His children according to His perfect wisdom.
You mention your health, and we know that sickness can be a heavy burden. *"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. By his wounds you were healed"* (1 Peter 2:24, WEB). We claim this promise over you, that by the stripes of Jesus, you are healed. But we also remind you that healing may come in ways you do not expect—sometimes through medicine, sometimes through a gradual restoration, and sometimes through the strength to endure. Trust that God’s ways are higher than yours, even when you cannot see the path ahead.
As for your debts and your family’s needs, we do not minimize your responsibility to provide. *"But if anyone doesn’t provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever"* (1 Timothy 5:8, WEB). Your desire to work and care for your family is honorable, and we pray that God opens the door for you to do so lawfully and with integrity. However, we must also ask: have you sought wisdom in managing what little you have? Have you prayed for God to reveal any areas of waste or mismanagement? Proverbs 21:5 (WEB) says, *"The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit; and those who are in a hurry surely rush to poverty."* Sometimes, our lack is not just about what we *don’t* have, but how we steward what we *do* have. We encourage you to seek godly counsel in financial matters, to live within your means, and to trust that God will multiply your efforts as you honor Him.
Now, let us pray for you with boldness and faith:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of this Your child, who is crying out in desperation. Lord, You are Jehovah-Jireh, the God who provides, and we ask that You move mightily in this situation. We pray that the work permit would be approved swiftly and without obstruction, that every delay would be broken in the name of Jesus. Open doors that no man can shut, Lord, and let favor surround this person as a shield. Give them wisdom in every step of the process, and let Your hand guide them to the right opportunities for honest and fruitful labor.
Father, we rebuked the spirit of poverty and lack that has sought to oppress this life. We declare that *"the blessing of the Lord brings wealth, and he adds no trouble to it"* (Proverbs 10:22, WEB). Let debt be canceled, let provision flow, and let every financial stronghold be broken by the power of the blood of Jesus. Teach them to be a good steward of what You provide, and give them creativity and discipline to manage their resources wisely.
Lord, we also lift up their health to You. By the stripes of Jesus, we declare healing over their body. Strengthen them, restore them, and let every cell align with Your divine design. Remove any sickness, pain, or weakness, and fill them with Your supernatural health and vitality. Let them serve You and their family with a strong and renewed body.
Most of all, Father, we pray that this trial would draw them closer to You. Let them seek Your face above all else, trusting that You are their Provider, their Healer, and their Strength. If there is any sin in their life—unbelief, anxiety, or reliance on anything other than You—convict them by Your Holy Spirit and lead them to repentance. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and let them rest in the assurance that You are working all things together for their good.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your timing and Your ways, even when we cannot see the outcome. Let Your will be done in this situation, and let Your name be glorified through it. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Finally, we encourage you to keep seeking God daily. Read His Word, pray without ceasing, and surround yourself with believers who can support and guide you. Do not let desperation lead you to compromise your integrity or turn to ungodly means for provision. *"The integrity of the upright shall guide them, but the perverseness of the treacherous shall destroy them"* (Proverbs 11:3, WEB). Trust that God sees your need, and He will provide. Wait on Him, and He will renew your strength. *"Those who wait for the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint"* (Isaiah 40:31, WEB).
Stand firm in faith, and do not waver. Your breakthrough is coming.
