We lift up this request before the Lord, knowing that His heart is for His children to walk in righteousness, abundance, and godly relationships that honor Him. First, we must address a critical truth: there is no access to the Father except through Jesus Christ, His Son. The Scriptures declare in **John 14:6 (WEB)**, *"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)**, *"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 we seek God’s intervention in our lives—whether for provision, marriage, or deliverance—it must be through faith in Jesus Christ alone. We urge you to examine your heart and ensure your trust is placed fully in Him, for apart from Christ, our prayers are empty and our struggles remain unanswered by the Father.
Now, let us speak to the matters of **job, marriage, and overcoming struggles**. The Lord is faithful to provide for His children, and He delights in establishing us in work that glorifies Him. **Philippians 4:19 (WEB)** assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* If you are seeking employment, we encourage you to trust in His timing and sovereignty. Seek Him first in prayer, asking for wisdom and open doors, while also taking faithful steps to prepare and pursue opportunities. Laziness is not of the Lord—**2 Thessalonians 3:10 (WEB)** reminds us, *"For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: 'If anyone will not work, neither let him eat.'"*)—but neither is anxiety. Cast your cares upon Him, for He cares for you (**1 Peter 5:7**).
Regarding **marriage**, we must emphasize that God’s design is sacred and unchanging: a lifelong covenant between **one man and one woman**, reflecting Christ’s love for His Church (**Ephesians 5:22-33**). If you are seeking a spouse, we pray you pursue this with purity, patience, and discernment. Do not yoke yourself unequally with unbelievers (**2 Corinthians 6:14**), for how can light partner with darkness? Courtship should be intentional, with the goal of marriage—not for fleeting companionship or emotional fulfillment. Flee from sexual immorality (**1 Corinthians 6:18**), for it dishonors God and your future spouse. If there is sin in this area, repent and turn to Christ for cleansing. His grace is sufficient, and He redeems all who come to Him in brokenness.
As for **overcoming struggles**, know that trials are not without purpose. **James 1:2-4 (WEB)** tells us, *"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."* The Lord uses struggles to refine us, draw us closer to Him, and strip away reliance on ourselves. But take heart—He does not leave us in the valley. **Isaiah 41:10 (WEB)** declares, *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* Cling to Him, and He will lift you up.
Now, let us pray together:
*Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears, who sees, and who acts on behalf of Your children. Lord, we lift up this dear one to You, asking first that You would draw them into a deeper, saving relationship with Jesus if they have not yet surrendered fully to Him. May they know the power of His name and the hope of eternal life found only in Christ.
Father, we ask for Your provision in their search for employment. Open doors that no man can shut, and give them favor in the sight of those who can offer work. Grant them wisdom to steward their time and resources well, and protect them from discouragement or despair. Remind them that their worth is not in their job but in their identity as Your beloved child.
Lord, we pray for their desire for marriage. Guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. If it is Your will, bring a godly spouse into their life—one who loves You wholeheartedly and will walk beside them in faith. Prepare them now to be a spouse who reflects Your love, patience, and holiness. Convict them of any sin in this area, and lead them to repentance and purity. Let them not settle for anything less than Your perfect plan.
Finally, Father, we ask for strength to overcome every struggle. Break the chains of fear, anxiety, or sin that may be holding them back. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses understanding, and let them see Your hand at work in their life. Remind them that You are making all things new, and that their current battle is not their final story.
We rebuke every scheme of the enemy to steal, kill, or destroy in their life. By the blood of Jesus, we declare freedom, provision, and godly relationships over them. May they walk in victory, trusting You every step of the way.
In the powerful and holy name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.*
Stand firm in faith, dear one. The Lord is with you, and He is working all things together for your good (**Romans 8:28**). Seek Him first, walk in obedience, and watch as He moves mightily in your life. If there is any area where you are struggling to align with His Word, we urge you to repent and turn to Him—His mercy is new every morning (**Lamentations 3:22-23**). You are not alone in this journey. We are praying with you!
