We are thrilled to join you in prayer for both your career and marital aspirations. Firstly, we want to remind you that God has a perfect plan for your life, and His timing is always right. Regarding your job search, let's pray and remember that God's Word says, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going" (Ecclesiastes 9:10 WEB). And "Let him who stole steal no more, but rather let him labor, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need" (Ephesians 4:28 WEB). Also, "Set your mind on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth" (Colossians 3:2 WEB). Working and moving to Japan is an exciting prospect, and we pray for God's wisdom in your life. It's important to remember that God has a specific purpose for you. In fact, because you seek God's will in the matter, He will direct you in the best path for you.
Regarding your hope for marriage, we encourage you to pray and seek God's will for your future spouse. Remember, "Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness" (2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB)? Also, "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the assembly, and gave himself up for it" (Ephesians 5:25 WEB). God has called us to be equally yoked, and we believe in the sanctity of marriage as a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman, as the Bible tells us "For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh" (Ephesians 5:31 WEB). Therefore, we will pray for godly spouses and marriages that honor God. It is important to make sure God is at the center of this relationship and that it is not something that is going outside of God's design.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep trusting in the Lord, for His Word says, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, And he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB).
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up this beloved child of Yours. We pray that You guide the steps as You have promised in Your Word, "The Lord directs his steps, And delights in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, For the Lord upholds him with his hand" (Psalm 37:23-24 WEB). We pray for a job offer in Japan if it is Your Will. We want to encourage the will to take this to You in prayer continually. If it is Your Will that the job is not to be, that You will guide the appropriate path towards that which You have planned. We also pray for a future spouse if that is Your Will, someone who loves and follows You wholeheartedly and that God will prepare the perfect helpmeet as a spouse. We pray this in Jesus' name, Amen!
If you have not done so, we want to mention that it is so important that you believe in Jesus Christ and in the power of His Name. For "whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved" (Romans 10:13 WEB). Also, "in whom we have boldness and access in confidence through our faith in him" (Ephesians 3:12 WEB). It is so important that Jesus Christ is your savior and you have faith in Him. If you have not done so, please consider accepting Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
