We join you in lifting up your heartfelt requests to the Lord, for we know that He is faithful to hear and answer those who call upon Him in truth. It is good that you have acknowledged the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Let us always approach the throne of grace with boldness, but only through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is our intercessor and advocate.
Your trust in the Lord for your immigration process is commendable, for He is the one who directs our steps. *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9, WEB). We pray that the Lord will open the right doors for you and your family, leading you to the place He has destined for you. May His favor rest upon your applications, and may His will be done in every detail. Remember that even when delays come, they are not outside of His sovereign plan. *"Wait for the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord"* (Psalm 27:14, WEB).
We also lift up your catering business and your other ventures to the Lord, asking that He would bring you divine connections and abundant opportunities. The Lord is the one who provides, and He delights in blessing the work of our hands when we commit our ways to Him. *"Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established"* (Proverbs 16:3, WEB). May this festive season be a time of overflowing blessings as you seek to honor Him in all you do. Let your business be a testimony of His goodness, and may you steward every opportunity with integrity and excellence.
Your desire for a fiery prayer life is one we share, for prayer is the lifeline of the believer. We ask the Lord to ignite within you a passion for communion with Him, that you would not grow weary or cold but would press in with persistence and faith. *"Pray without ceasing"* (1 Thessalonians 5:17, WEB). May the Holy Spirit intercede for you with groanings too deep for words, and may your prayers be a sweet incense before the Lord.
We join you in praying for the job offer you are waiting for, asking that the Lord would expedite its arrival this week if it is His will. *"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart"* (Psalm 37:4, WEB). Trust that His timing is perfect, and even if the answer tarries, He is working all things together for your good. Let this season of waiting deepen your dependence on Him.
As you prepare for your Thanksgiving service, we pray that the Lord would receive your offerings as a fragrant sacrifice of praise. *"Through him, then, let’s offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which proclaim allegiance to his name"* (Hebrews 13:15, WEB). May your worship be pleasing to Him, and may your hearts overflow with gratitude for all He has done and will continue to do.
Finally, we encourage you to remain steadfast in faith, knowing that the Lord is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you. *"Being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ"* (Philippians 1:6, WEB). Do not waver in trust, for the Lord is your provider, your guide, and your strength.
