We lift you up before the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, knowing that He holds all things in His hands, including the timing of every door that opens and closes in our lives. Your trust in God’s faithfulness through this long and challenging journey is a testament to your faith, and we stand with you in agreement, believing that He who began this good work in you will bring it to completion.
The Word of God reminds us in Proverbs 16:9, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps."* And again in Isaiah 45:2-3, the Lord declares, *"I will go before you and will level the mountains. I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut through the bars of iron. I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that it is I, the Lord, who calls you by your name, even the God of Israel."* Be encouraged—God is not only aware of your situation, but He is actively working on your behalf, even in ways you cannot see. His timing is perfect, and His plans for you are good.
We also want to gently remind you of the power and necessity of praying in the name of Jesus. It is through His name alone that we have access to the Father, and it is by His authority that we can boldly approach the throne of grace. Jesus Himself said in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* And in Acts 4:12, we are told, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* So we urge you, if you have not already, to place your complete trust in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. If you believe in Him, confess your sins, and surrender your life to His will, you will be saved, and your prayers will be heard by the Father through the precious name of Jesus.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who is waiting on You for the fulfillment of this visa process. Lord, You know the desires of their heart and the plans You have for them—plans for welfare and not for calamity, to give them a future and a hope. We ask that You would move mightily in this situation, softening the hearts of those in authority and removing every obstacle that stands in the way. Let favor surround them like a shield, and let Your divine timing bring forth a swift and positive resolution.
Father, we rebuked any spirit of delay, confusion, or opposition in the name of Jesus. Let every chain be broken, and let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Strengthen our brother/sister’s faith during this waiting period. Fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, and remind them that You are working all things together for their good. Give them patience to endure and wisdom to know that even in the waiting, You are preparing them for what lies ahead.
We declare that no weapon formed against them shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against them in judgment, You shall condemn. Open the doors that no man can shut, Lord, and let Your light shine upon their path. We thank You in advance for the testimony of Your goodness that is coming, and we give You all the glory, honor, and praise. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
Stand firm in your faith, knowing that God is with you. Continue to seek His face, trust in His promises, and remember that He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. We are believing with you for a breakthrough, and we give thanks to God for His faithfulness! If there is any area of your life where you are not fully aligned with His Word, we encourage you to surrender it to Him. He is faithful and just to forgive and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Keep your eyes on Jesus, and let Him guide your every step.
