We come before the Lord with your concerns, lifting them up in the name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer. First, we want to acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is by His grace and mercy that we can bring our requests before Him. "For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Timothy 2:5). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus, we encourage you to consider the words of Scripture: "that 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).
Now, let us address your concerns with wisdom and discernment from God’s Word.
Regarding the packages and the company’s request for a return, we understand your frustration, but we must also consider the principles of honesty and integrity. Scripture tells us, "Therefore, putting away falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another" (Ephesians 4:25). If the company has made an error, it is right to seek resolution, but we must do so with patience and a spirit of humility. Let us pray that God would grant you wisdom in handling this situation and that He would work all things together for good, as He promises in Romans 8:28.
We also lift up the matter of the test tomorrow. It is good to ask the Lord for help in your studies and for favor in your academic pursuits. However, we must also remember that diligence and responsibility are virtues God calls us to uphold. "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men" (Colossians 3:23). We encourage you to study diligently, trusting that God will grant you the focus and understanding you need. If your friend is struggling with motivation, pray that the Lord would stir his heart to prioritize his responsibilities.
Let us now come before the Lord in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking for Your intervention in these matters. Lord, we lift up the situation with the packages and the company. Grant wisdom and discernment to handle this with integrity and patience. If there has been a mistake, we ask that You would make it clear and provide a just resolution. Help us to trust in Your provision and timing, knowing that You are in control.
Father, we also pray for the upcoming test. Give clarity of mind, focus, and understanding to those preparing for it. Stir their hearts to seek You first and to approach their studies with diligence, knowing that all good things come from You. If there is any laziness or procrastination, convict their hearts and lead them to repentance, so they may honor You in their efforts.
Lord, we ask that You would work in the heart of the one who needs to study, drawing him closer to You and helping him to see the importance of responsibility and discipline. May he find strength in You and be able to make up any work if needed, all for Your glory.
We trust in Your faithfulness, Lord, and we thank You for hearing our prayers. May Your will be done in all these things, and may Your name be praised. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
