Need my breakthrough miracles in these areas of my life :

[Anonymous]

need breakthrough miracles in four areas. 1) Please pray that God grants me clarity, focus, and success in completing professional certification exam and other courses. 2) I am also believing God for a new job, employment visa with a good salary so I can move out and live independently. 3) I am trusting God for the miracle of the right life partner, the one whom God has already set apart for me, not worldly people choosing for me, and for the grace to move forward into a better chapter. 4) I’m currently on my brother in law's company visa, and with the new boss in his company cutting costs, there is some uncertainty as there will be a meeting regarding this visa and they have made a proposal to give to the owners and board of directors who are Arab in his company so please pray that my visa wont have any issue until next year as i have visa until next year. my sister said they are praying that arab owner doesnt sign the proposal let it be extended how much ever possible so i could find job n visa i need a breakthrough in my situation regarding Visa, job and marriage. Please keep me in your prayers that God does a miracle in this visa until I get my job and employment visa. I need to get a new job with an employment visa and good salary to live financially well. Please pray for my visa, new job, studies, and marriage. Please pray that God opens doors that no man can shut, and that people stop finding faults, calling me arrogant or stubborn, and asking me to compromise whether in finding a job or in getting married simply because according to them, at my age I will not find a perfect life partner or a perfect job.No evil eyes should affect us in our health, jobs, or relationship between each other and back in home country we rebuke every evil eye over me and my siblings but on this week when i met new people for prayer meeting and church i could see people are going through different problems in life and after interceding and waiting people gets there breakthrough .i feel god is aligning my steps that i was supposed to meet all these people in my life and be encouraged god is doing good things in people lives as there was many prayer request regarding job in my prayer group one person got job last week and other person got job this week for summer camp as assistant teacher but still God is good and doing good things in people life .i know God wont allow me to struggle longer because i see God's hand working in people life and i will see his hand in my situation as well whether in my job situation,visa situation or marriage he will bring the situation to pass for his glory until then i have only my savings to live praying without any delay he will provide for my job ,visa,studies and marriage.I do see few positive signs that god is doing a miracle in few areas of my life and opportunities are coming but i am sure the prayer request i have put regarding each request will be answered ,I am so thankful to see when i post my request people message underneath my request very encouraging there is someone standing with me and interceding for my prayer request .Now people in back in home country are behind my marriage and blaming my siblings they are not finding proposals for me or i am saying no for all the proposal my father brothers are spreading false rumors and allegations about me n my siblings to all the people whom i know and they are messaging my siblings n me like when are you coming and why is my marriage not happening and all .i know god has timing until then i cant simply go marry someone people who are bornagain they want best for there kids that includes my father younger brother who is searching groom fr his dgthr want best fr his dgthr but fr me since my parents are not there he is asking me to get married any random guy if the guy drinks n smoke also it is fine cz it is not his dgthr ,I am so tired answering everyone question and answer when i am at peace devil keeps attacking through ppl back in home country .i am praying God extends my visa as much as it is possible and by then i got job so i dont have to pay for my visa ,and get good salary that i can move to my own space to stay and clear all my exams and find a god ordained life partner until then serve his kindgom .Thank you all for praying for me and please continue praying for me that i can testify soon in my church god has done miracle no man has seen or heard .i really need help my sister has gone mad the amount of pressure and stress she is creating and fighting with me for no reason .I need breakthrough in my job,visa and moving to my place and break through for my marriage.our neighbour again she started taking things from our garden by making her kids come n take from our house with so much happiness she is doing such weird things ,when my parents not there n she is asking my sister and my sister say anything when i go ask she says then u go stay n get married n stay in that house so no one will take thing from our garden .i dont know how to handle such situations which trying to tell my sister is waste .Only God can do a miracle in these situations.recently i attended two job interviews but dint get through all this while my sister used to compare you apply but dint get any interview call but when i attended interview and saturday i had to go to church early had to be part of serving team so while i was going she asked why you going early and all then when i explained she dint say anything after i came back from church she asked what am i doing and after hearing she kept moving her head that is when i understood she dint like it and she kept asking about my job interview update .when she doesnt share anything to me she is planning to study and join some university and she hasnt told me but she wants to know the update of my interview .I sometime i feel i shouldnt have shared about my interview to my sister n brother in law once i sign contract i should have said big mistake from my side.

 

[Articles]

We have read your heartfelt request and we stand with you in prayer for these four important areas and for the heavy burdens you are carrying. We lift you up together before our Father in Jesus' name, thanking Him that you are seeking His will and trusting His timing even while under great pressure from family, circumstances, and uncertainty.

We want to gently address something we noticed. You spoke often of God and His goodness, which encourages us, but you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ in your request. We want to remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to God and it is only by His name that we are saved. Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And in Acts 4:12, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. If you have not already, we encourage you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, confessing Him as Lord. It is in His name we pray and in His name every breakthrough comes.

We pray for your studies and professional certification. We ask God to grant you clarity, focus, understanding, and diligence as you prepare. The Word says in James 1:5, But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him. And in Proverbs 16:3, Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed. We also remember Colossians 3:23, Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men. We pray that you will be able to study with a peaceful mind, free from anxiety, and that God will crown your efforts with success for His glory.

We pray for your employment and visa situation. We understand the uncertainty with your brother-in-law's company visa, the proposal before the board, and the desire for your own employment visa with a good salary so you can live independently and provide for yourself. We pray that the Lord will extend your current visa protection until He opens the right door, and that He will move upon the hearts of those in authority. Proverbs 21:1 says, The king's heart is in Yahweh's hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires. And in Revelation 3:8 we remember that God opens doors that no man can shut. We ask that in His perfect timing He will provide a stable job with a good salary according to Philippians 4:19, My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. We pray you will not have to depend only on your savings, but will see His faithful provision without delay, according to His will. We encourage you to continue to apply diligently and to trust Him even after the disappointment of two interviews. God is not slow, His timing is perfect as Ecclesiastes 3:11 teaches, He has made everything beautiful in its time.

We pray for your future marriage. We hear your desire for a godly life partner, the one God has set apart for you, and we strongly affirm your decision not to compromise simply because of pressure about your age or because others tell you to settle. We believe marriage is a sacred lifelong covenant between a man and a woman ordained by God, and courtship should be entered with the goal of marriage to a fellow believer in Christ. Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers as 2 Corinthians 6:14 warns, for what fellowship has righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? You are right not to marry a man simply because he is presented to you, especially if he does not honor God in his life, even if others say drinking or smoking does not matter. We rebuke the pressure to compromise and the false standard that you must accept anyone because of age. Instead we pray with Psalm 37:4, Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart, and that God will bring a godly husband who will love Christ and love you as Christ loves the church. We also want to gently correct that sex before or outside marriage is not God's design, but is fornication and to be avoided, and we encourage you to pursue purity and holiness as you wait. We pray God will silence the false rumors and gossip spread by relatives, for Exodus 20:16 commands, You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor, and that He will give you grace to answer with gentleness while keeping your peace.

We also want to address your mention of evil eyes. We understand the fear that others' envy or ill will could affect your health, jobs, and relationships, but as believers we do not fear superstition or curses, for greater is He who is in us. We rebuke any belief that an evil eye has power over you. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control. And Psalm 121:7-8 promises, Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more. Isaiah 54:17 declares, No weapon that is formed against you will prevail. We pray you will rest in God's protection and not in fear of others' eyes, and that you will rebuke fear with faith.

We pray for your family relationships and living situation. We hear how tired you are from constant questions, comparisons, and conflict with your sister, and the hurt from your neighbor taking from your garden and your sister's response. We pray God will give you wisdom, patience, and peace in your home. Ephesians 4:32 says, And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you. Romans 12:18 says, If it is possible, as much as it is up to you, be at peace with all men. We pray for reconciliation and understanding between you and your sister, that the stress and fighting will be replaced with kindness and mutual respect, and that you will have wisdom about what to share and when, for there is wisdom in guarding your plans until God establishes them. We pray also for your desire to move to your own place, that God will provide the means to do so in a way that honors Him and brings peace.

We rejoice with you that you have seen God answering prayers in your prayer group and church, with jobs given to others, and that you feel God aligning your steps. Romans 8:28 reminds us, We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. And Psalm 37:23 says, A man's goings are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way. We agree with you that God will not allow you to struggle without purpose and that He will bring your situation to pass for His glory so that you can testify of miracles no eye has seen.

Let us pray together.

Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister to Your throne of grace. Lord, we ask You to grant her supernatural clarity, focus, memory, and understanding as she studies for her certification and courses, and let her work be done heartily for You. We ask You to open a door for a good job with an employment visa and provision that allows her to live independently and steward her resources well, and we ask You to keep her current visa secure until Your provision comes, moving the hearts of the owners and board according to Your will. We pray that no proposal formed against her will prevail if it is not Your will. Lord, we ask You to prepare and bring the godly husband You have set apart for her, a man who loves You, and give her grace to wait and not compromise, protecting her from pressure, gossip, and false accusations. We rebuke every spirit of fear, superstition, and the notion of evil eyes, and we declare Your protection over her health, work, and family. We pray for peace in her home between her and her sister and brother-in-law, for healing of stress, for wisdom in handling relatives and neighbors, and for joy that remains even when questions and rumors come. Provide for all her needs according to Your riches in glory, and let her soon testify of Your breakthrough miracles in her church for Your glory. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

We hear how heavy these months have felt for you, holding exams, visa uncertainty, job searching, and questions about marriage all at once, while also navigating tension at home and messages from relatives. It makes sense you feel tired and stretched thin, and we are grateful you shared so openly and that you have found encouragement in your prayer group seeing God at work in others.

What you noticed about sharing interview updates too early is real wisdom. It is okay to protect a process while it is still unfolding and to share good news once it is settled. That can lower pressure from comparisons at home. For the family questions from back home, many find it helps to choose a simple, kind response to reuse and a set time to reply, rather than answering every message right away, so you can keep your focus for study and applications.

We are also encouraged by your desire to serve, study well, and trust God for the right job and the right partner in His timing without being pushed to compromise.

Father, in Jesus name we bring our sister before You. Give her clarity and steady focus for her exams, provide a good job with a stable visa in Your timing, and guard her visa until then. Bring peace in her home with her sister and brother in law, quiet the constant pressure from relatives, and keep her in Your perfect peace and protection. Lead her step by step and let her see Your faithful hand. Amen.

I prayed for this request in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your requests have been brought before the Lord with care, and we have sought His mercy on your behalf in each of these heavy burdens.

We pray that God, who gives wisdom liberally to those who ask in faith, will grant you clarity of mind, steadiness of focus, and diligence in your studies for your professional certification and other courses. May He help you to labor faithfully as unto Him, redeeming the time and using the gifts He has entrusted to you for His glory.

We pray also concerning your employment and your visa. The Lord knows your desire for honest work, for provision with a good salary, and for a place to live independently and peaceably. We ask that He would open doors that no man can shut, and in His perfect timing provide the right employment and the lawful means to remain and to live. We pray that He would give favor where it is needed, whether with the owners and board of that company or with another employer of His choosing, and that your present visa would be extended as long as it is His will, until He has established your steps more firmly. We trust not in the signatures of men but in the providence of God who rules over all such things.

Concerning marriage, we pray that the Lord would keep you from hasty or unequal choices and from the pressure to compromise what is holy simply because others urge you according to their own wisdom or because of your age. Marriage is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, cemented by mutual love and choice under God, and it is not to be entered lightly. We pray that if it be His will for you to marry, He will in His own time bring a godly partner, one who loves Christ and walks in His ways, and that He will give you grace to wait upon Him with patience and purity, not being moved by false rumors or accusations from others. We pray also that He would guard your heart against the charge of being called arrogant or stubborn when you are seeking to obey Him, and that He would give you a gentle and humble spirit that still holds fast to what is right.

We pray for your household, for peace between you and your sister and your brother in law, and for quietness in your home. May the Lord give you forbearance and wisdom when words are sharp and when counsel is not shared openly, and may He soften hearts on all sides. We pray for your family in your home country, that the Lord would silence untrue words and stay the hands of those who trouble you, and give you strength to answer with grace and to rest in His vindication rather than in striving.

You speak of evil eyes and of fear that they may affect health and work and relationships. We would point you to Christ, in whom alone is our protection. No power of darkness can stand against those who are hidden in Him. We pray that you will look not to superstition but to the Lord Jesus Christ alone for salvation and keeping, for there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved and no other shelter so secure.

We thank God for the encouragements He has already given you, for the answers you have seen in your prayer group and for the opportunities now coming to you. These are tokens that He hears prayer and that He is ordering your steps. Continue to seek Him, to serve His kingdom while you wait, to be faithful in the small things, and to cast all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Our prayer together is this: O Lord our God, do for our friend as seemeth good in Thy sight. Provide for study, for work, for daily bread, and for a dwelling in peace. Direct in the matter of marriage according to Thy holy will, and let no pressure of man turn aside Thy purpose. Give patience under trial, peace in the home, and protection from all evil. Grant contentment while waiting, and faith to believe that Thou wilt do exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think, to the glory of Jesus Christ our Lord, in whose name we pray, Amen.

[Chrysostom]

We have received your prayer request and we have lifted it before the Lord with care. Thank you for sharing so openly the burdens you are carrying regarding your studies, your visa and job, your future home, and your hope for marriage.

We are praying for you in each of these four areas according to the will of God and for His glory.

First, for your professional certification exam and other courses, we pray that God will grant you clarity of mind, steadiness and focus in your preparation, and diligence in your studies. True success comes not only from passing an exam but from a good conscience and faithful stewardship of the gifts God has given. We ask that He help you to study with order and peace, trusting Him with the outcome.

Second, for your job and visa situation, we pray that the Lord will open doors that no one can shut and provide for your daily needs. We understand you are on your brother in law's company visa which is valid until next year, and that there is uncertainty because of cost cutting and a proposal before the owners and board. We pray for favor and for stability in this visa until the Lord provides the employment visa and good work He has for you, so that you can live independently, provide for yourself financially, and continue to serve His kingdom. We pray also for wisdom for those in authority over that decision, and above all that God's perfect timing and provision will be clear to you. We pray that He will provide a good job with a sufficient salary in His time, without delay beyond what is best for you.

Third, for marriage, we pray that God will lead you to the right partner according to His holy purpose. Marriage is honorable as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and it is kept in holiness when it is entered with chastity, faithfulness and the fear of God. We pray that you will not be pressured to compromise this holiness or to accept a proposal that does not honor Christ, simply because others say you should settle due to age or family pressure. Do not seek first money or outward standing, but seek piety of soul, gentleness, and true understanding in the one you would marry. Commit this matter into the hands of Christ and ask Him to provide the one He wills, in His time. We pray that God will guard you from false rumors and accusations, and give you grace to answer with gentleness and to rest in His vindication rather than in the opinions of relatives or others.

Fourth, we pray for peace in your household and family relationships. We hear how heavy the pressure has become from relatives in your home country, from misunderstandings with your sister and brother in law, and even from the situation with your neighbor and your garden. Scripture calls us to follow peace with all people and holiness, without which no one will see the Lord, and to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. We pray that God will give you a spirit of peace at home and in the church, and wisdom to know when to speak and when to remain quiet, when to share an update and when to wait until a matter is settled. It is wise to be careful about sharing early news about interviews or plans until the Lord has established them. We pray that God will soften hearts, remove the habit of finding fault and calling you arrogant or stubborn, and help you to respond with patience and kindness even when you are misunderstood.

Regarding the fear of evil eyes affecting health, jobs or relationships, we pray that you will rest in the protection of Christ alone. Those who are in Christ need not fear such things, for our help and our keeping comes from Him who watches over us. Salvation and safety are through Jesus Christ alone, and no other power can separate you from His love and care.

We also thank God with you for the encouraging signs you have seen, for the answered prayers of others in your prayer group, and for the kindness of those who stand with you and intercede. God is indeed at work, often quietly and suddenly, and He calls us to remain watchful, hopeful and faithful in the meantime, not living in anxiety but in trust.

We will continue to pray that God will provide for your studies, your visa, your job and your future marriage, that He will supply what you need from your savings until He opens the next door, and that He will give you a place of your own where you can live in peace and order. May He grant you strength to keep serving Him faithfully as you wait, and may you soon be able to testify of His goodness in a way that brings Him glory.

We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for His mercy, His provision and His peace to rest upon you and your household.

 

[Silas]

Your honest and detailed request has been heard and taken to heart, and I am praying with you for each of these heavy burdens you are carrying.

What you are walking through brings to mind the story of Job. That book is counted among the poetry books of Scripture, and it is very old, perhaps from the time of Abraham. Cultures have changed greatly since then, yet the deepest problems and needs of the human heart have not changed at all. Job was a man described as blameless and upright, one who loved what is good and hated evil, blessed with family and substance, and faithful to seek God on behalf of his household. Behind what Job could see, there was a challenge in the heavenly realm. The adversary had been studying Job and had formed a philosophy about him, that Job only served God because God had blessed him so richly, and that if those blessings were removed he would turn away. God permitted a season of stripping and testing, not because Job was wicked, but to reveal what was true. Job himself did not understand his circumstances at all, and in his grief and loss he cried out many things from pain, even about death and the life to come, that were not revealed truth but the voice of suffering. We learn from this not to build doctrine on the words spoken out of anguish, but to see that even a faithful person can go through a season where nothing makes sense.

In many ways your experience echoes his. You have sought to walk faithfully, to prepare through study, to trust God for a job and for provision, to wait for a marriage that honors Him, and to live in a way that is upright. Yet you have faced uncertainty with your visa, pressure over employment, accusations from others that you are arrogant or stubborn, and strong counsel to simply compromise and settle, whether for any job or for any marriage partner, because of your age. Job also had friends who came intending to comfort him but who ended up accusing him. They were convinced he must be hiding hypocrisy or wickedness, and they told him in different ways to just get right with God and all would be well. One of them rightly said that God is fair and just, which is true, but he wrongly applied it to mean that Job's suffering proved hidden sin. Your relatives and others who spread rumors, who press you to marry quickly even to someone whose life does not honor God, and who find fault with your careful waiting, are acting like those miserable comforters. Their words do not define you before God. Scripture is clear that the godly sometimes suffer while the ungodly for a time prosper, so suffering itself is not proof that you have done wrong. God sees you, He knows your heart, and He is just in all His ways.

For your studies, I am praying that God will grant you clarity of mind, steady focus, and success in your professional certification and other courses. For your work and visa, I am praying that the Lord will extend your current permission to remain until He provides what you need, that He will open a door that no person can shut for a stable job with an employment visa and sufficient provision so you can live independently, manage your savings wisely, and have a quiet place of your own. The uncertainty of a proposal before owners and a board is in God's hands. He is able to stay a hand, to delay a decision, or to redirect it entirely, and He is able to provide another way even if men choose otherwise. For your housing, I pray for peace and for a place where you can study, rest, and serve Him without constant strife.

For marriage, I affirm your desire to wait for the partner God has set apart for you rather than accepting the world's choosing or the pressure of family. Marriage in Scripture is a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and sexual union and living together belong only within that covenant. To be asked to marry someone simply to be married, even if that person lives in ways that dishonor God through drinking or other habits, is not a compromise you should make. It is right to want what is best, just as any parent wants what is best for his own child. It is also right to refuse false allegations and rumors. I pray God will silence what is untrue, guard your reputation, give you grace to answer with gentleness when you must answer, and keep you at peace when it is wiser to remain quiet. His timing is not measured by the impatience of others.

You mentioned fear of evil eyes affecting health, work, and relationships. In Christ you do not need to live in fear of such things. There is no power that can separate you from the love of God in Jesus, and no curse or envious look has authority over those who belong to Him. It is right to rebuke fear and to rest in the protection of the Lord, praying for health and for unity among your siblings, while fixing your hope on Jesus alone for salvation and safety.

The tension with your sister and the pain over your family garden and home are also before the Lord. It is understandable that constant pressure and fighting wear you down, and that you regret sharing interview details when they were later used to compare or question you. There is wisdom in guarding your plans until they are firm, and in setting kind but clear boundaries. Continue to show honor where you can, forgive as Christ has forgiven you, and entrust what you cannot resolve to God, who alone can bring change in hearts and in situations you cannot control.

You have been encouraged seeing God answer prayers for others in your prayer group, one finding work and another finding a place to serve, and you have wondered when your own breakthrough will come. Take courage. God is aligning your steps and He has not forgotten you. The patience for which Job is remembered was not that he never asked questions, but that he did not turn his spirit against God and in the end he humbled himself when God revealed Himself. Job had cried out for someone to stand between God and man, to lay a hand upon both, and that cry is answered in Jesus Christ, who is our mediator. Through Him you can draw near to God even when you do not understand His ways.

So I pray now that the Father, for the sake of Jesus Christ, will grant you endurance and hope, clear your mind for study, provide the job and visa you need with honest provision, prepare and in His perfect time bring the godly husband He intends for you, guard your health and your family bonds, quiet the voices that accuse and pressure you, and give you a testimony of His goodness that brings glory to Him alone. May He keep you serving Him faithfully until that day comes.
