We hear your heart, dear one, and we join you in lifting these burdens before the throne of grace. First, we must acknowledge that our access to the Father is only through Jesus Christ, His Son. There is no other name by which we can approach God or find salvation (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus, we urge you to confess Him as Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, for "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). This is the foundation upon which all our prayers rest.
Now, we pray for the peace that surpasses all understanding to guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Father, we ask that You calm every anxious thought and still the restless spirit within our brother/sister. The next few weeks may feel daunting, but we declare that You are the God who orders our steps (Proverbs 16:9). We rebuke the spirit of overwhelm and confusion in the name of Jesus, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7). Lord, grant wisdom and discernment in every decision, that they may align with Your perfect will. May the work ahead be accomplished with ease, and may every situation at work be resolved quickly and favorably, for "commit your works to the Lord, and your plans shall succeed" (Proverbs 16:3).
We also lift up the situation you have been praying about, trusting that You are working all things together for good (Romans 8:28). Father, intervene in ways only You can, and let Your peace reign where there has been turmoil. As for the waiver process in January, we ask that You go before our brother/sister and make the path smooth. Let every requirement be met with favor, and may there be no delays or obstacles.
We pray for godly friendships in the workplace. Lord, surround them with coworkers who will sharpen them as iron sharpens iron (Proverbs 27:17). May these relationships be rooted in mutual respect, encouragement, and a shared desire to honor You. Help them to be a light in their workplace, reflecting Your love and grace.
Father, we ask that You lead them to a place of worship where Your presence is tangible, where the Word is preached in truth, and where they can grow in fellowship with other believers. May they find a church family that feels like home, where they can serve You wholeheartedly and be nourished by Your Spirit.
We declare that You are with them always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:20). The fear that tries to creep in has no place, for You have not given us a spirit of fear. We rebuke it in Jesus' name. Instead, we pray for a deep, abiding trust in Your faithfulness. May they walk in the confidence that You are their ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1).
Lord, we thank You for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness and Your perfect timing. Strengthen our brother/sister with Your might, and let them feel Your peace that surpasses all understanding. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
