We understand your urgent need for employment and the pressure of your financial burdens, and we lift you up in prayer with both compassion and a reminder of where our true help comes from. The Bible tells us in **Psalm 121:1-2**, *"I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth."* Your trust must first be in the Lord, not merely in the timing of man or the approval of a work permit. While we pray earnestly for your request, we also encourage you to seek God’s will above all else, trusting that His timing is perfect, even when it doesn’t align with our desires.
You have not mentioned the name of Jesus in your request, and this is something we must address with urgency and love. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved, and it is only through **Jesus Christ** that we have access to the Father. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.’"* If you have not yet surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so now. Repent of your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and invite Him to be the Lord of your life. Without this foundation, even our prayers for your earthly needs lack the power and authority that come through His name.
As for your employment, we pray that God would open the right door for you in His perfect timing. **Proverbs 16:3** reminds us, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* Have you committed this need to Him, or are you relying solely on your own efforts? We encourage you to pray fervently, seeking His guidance and wisdom. If there is any sin in your life—such as dishonesty, laziness, or a lack of trust in God—repent and turn to Him wholeheartedly. **James 4:3** warns, *"You ask, and don’t receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it for your pleasures."* Examine your heart and ensure your motives align with God’s will.
We also pray for your protection and safety as you seek employment. **Psalm 91:11-12** assures us, *"For he will give his angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone."* However, remember that God’s protection is not a guarantee of a life free from hardship but a promise of His presence and sovereignty over all things. Trust in Him, even in the waiting.
Lastly, we urge you to be wise with your finances and to seek godly counsel if you are overwhelmed by debt. **Proverbs 22:7** says, *"The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender."* While we pray for your provision, we also encourage you to seek ways to manage your debts biblically, avoiding further bondage to financial stress. Consider reaching out to your church or a trusted believer for guidance and support.

**Our Prayer for You:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of **Jesus Christ**, lifting up this dear soul who is in desperate need of Your provision and protection. Lord, You know the depths of their financial struggles and the urgency they feel to secure employment by December 1, 2025. Yet, Father, we ask that Your will be done above all else. If it is Your plan for them to begin work by that date, we pray that You would move mightily to make it happen. Softening the hearts of those in authority to approve their work permit swiftly and open the right door of employment for them.
But Lord, if Your timing is different, we pray for supernatural peace and trust to fill their heart. Help them to surrender their anxiety and fear to You, knowing that You are their Provider. **Philippians 4:19** reminds us that *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* Father, we ask that You supply their every need—financially, emotionally, and spiritually—as they seek to honor You in all they do.
We also pray for their safety and protection, Lord. Guard them from all harm and danger as they go about their daily life. Surround them with Your angels and let Your presence be a shield around them. May they walk in wisdom and discernment, avoiding any path that would lead them into temptation or harm.
Father, we rebuked any spirit of fear, doubt, or desperation that may be gripping their heart. Fill them instead with Your Holy Spirit, granting them patience, faith, and perseverance. If there is any area of their life that is not aligned with Your Word—whether in their finances, their trust in You, or their priorities—we ask that You convict them and lead them to repentance. Draw them closer to You, Lord, and let this season of waiting be a time of spiritual growth and dependence on You.
Most importantly, Father, if this dear one has not yet surrendered their life to Jesus Christ, we pray that today would be the day of salvation for them. Open their eyes to the truth of the Gospel, that **Jesus** is the only way to You, and that without Him, all our efforts—even our prayers—are in vain. Soften their heart to receive Your grace and mercy, and let them experience the peace that comes from being in right standing with You.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We trust in Your goodness and Your perfect plan for this precious life. May Your name be glorified in all things. In the mighty and matchless name of **Jesus Christ**, we pray. Amen.
