We are lifting up ### and their family before the throne of grace, petitioning our loving Father for His divine intervention in their lives. We are reminded of the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:25-34 (WEB), "Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they?"
Firstly, we must address the fact that the request does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father to pray. There is no other name given to mankind by which we can be saved. Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6, WEB). For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB).
In times of financial strain, it is crucial to remember that God is our provider, and He knows our every need. We pray that God will open the doors to a good job for the family, so that the student may pursue education at a reputable university. We ask that God's will be done in their lives, and that He grants them the wisdom to make decisions that align with His purpose.
As their family may have concerns about his future, we want to remind them of the promises in God's word. Romans 8:28 (WEB) says, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Trust that God is working behind the scenes, orchestrating events for their good and His glory.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up ### and their family. Lord, You know their financial struggles and the desires of their hearts. We ask that You provide a good job, so that the student may study in the university he applied. Guide them through this process, and help them to trust in Your perfect will.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage the family to continue seeking God's face, trusting in His perfect plan, and believing that He is more than able to meet their every need. Be anxious for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God (Philippians 4:6, WEB).
