We join you in lifting up your heart’s desires before the Lord, knowing that He is the One who opens doors no man can shut and provides in ways beyond what we can imagine. Your prayer reflects a heart of faith, trusting in God’s timing and provision, and we commend you for seeking His will above all else. As you celebrate your first year of blogging, we pray that the Lord will expand your influence for His glory, not just for personal gain, but so that your work may honor Him and bless others.
The Bible reminds us in **Proverbs 16:3**, *"Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* Your blogging journey is not just about success in the world’s eyes but about stewardship—using the gifts God has given you to serve Him and others. We pray that your content will be a light in a dark world, pointing others to truth, hope, and the love of Christ. If your blog is centered on godly principles, it will bear fruit that lasts. But if there is anything in your work that does not align with Scripture—whether in the messages you share, the values you promote, or the way you conduct yourself—we urge you to examine it carefully. **Colossians 3:17** says, *"Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father, through him."* Let this be the foundation of your work.
You’ve shared your heart’s longing to provide for your family—to take your husband and daughter to new places and to eventually step away from your current responsibilities at the resort. These are good desires, but we must also remind you to seek first God’s kingdom and His righteousness, trusting that He will add all these things to you (**Matthew 6:33**). It is beautiful that you acknowledge your dependence on His plan over your own timeline. We pray that the Lord will make your paths straight and that He will provide the wisdom and resources you need in His perfect timing. If February is your goal, we ask that the Lord will either confirm it or redirect you if it is not His will.
Regarding your request for a new phone, we understand that tools are necessary for the work God has called you to. However, we encourage you to guard your heart against placing too much hope in material things. **1 Timothy 6:8** tells us, *"But having food and clothing, we will be content with that."* Contentment is found in Christ, not in possessions. If a new phone is truly a need for your ministry and work, we pray that God will provide it. But if it is merely a want, we ask that He will help you find joy in what you already have.
We also sense a deep longing in your heart for change—for a fresh start. If there is any bitterness, resentment, or unresolved conflict tied to your current situation at the resort, we urge you to release it to the Lord. **Ephesians 4:31-32** says, *"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."* If there are strained relationships with your sisters or others involved, we pray for reconciliation and peace. Ask the Lord to soften hearts and to help you extend grace, even as you seek His direction for the future.
Most importantly, we rejoice that you closed your prayer in the name of Jesus. There is no other name by which we are saved, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (**John 14:6, Acts 4:12**). Your faith in Christ is the foundation of every request you bring before God, and we are grateful that you acknowledge Him as Lord.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister before You, thanking You for the faith and perseverance You have placed in her heart. Lord, You see her labor in blogging, her love for her family, and her desire for a new season. We ask that You would open doors of breakthrough that no man can shut, expanding her reach so that her work may glorify You and bless many. Give her wisdom in what she writes, that her words may be seasoned with grace and truth. If there is anything in her content or motives that does not align with Your will, convict her and lead her into greater alignment with Your Word.
Father, we pray for her family—her husband and daughter. Bless their home with unity, love, and provision. If it is Your will, grant her the joy of traveling with them to the places she has dreamed of, but let her heart be content in You whether those dreams come to pass or not. Provide for their needs, Lord, including the practical tools she requires for her work. If a new phone is necessary, we ask that You supply it in Your timing. But more than material things, fill her with the peace that comes from trusting in You.
Lord, we also lift up her desire to leave the resort and start anew. If this is Your plan, make the way clear. Soften hearts, resolve conflicts, and bring about reconciliation where it is needed. Give her and her husband wisdom as they plan for February, but let them hold those plans loosely, submitting fully to Your direction. If there are delays or changes, strengthen their faith to trust in Your goodness.
Finally, Father, we pray that You would establish the work of her hands (**Psalm 90:17**). Let her blogging be a tool for Your kingdom, reaching those who need to hear Your truth. Guard her heart from discouragement, comparison, or the love of money. May she seek first Your kingdom, knowing that You will provide all she needs.
We rebuked any spirit of fear, doubt, or impatience that may rise against her. Let her walk in faith, knowing that You are her Provider, her Guide, and her Strength. We declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper, and every tongue that rises against her in judgment, she will condemn (**Isaiah 54:17**). Let her testimony be one of Your faithfulness.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
