We lift you up before the Father in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, knowing that He is your Provider and Protector. It is only through the name of Jesus that we can approach the throne of grace with boldness, for Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). We are grateful you have brought this request before the Lord, for He cares deeply about your needs and longs to guide you in His perfect will.
The desire to work and provide for your family is honorable, and we pray earnestly that your work permit will be approved swiftly and without delay. The Lord knows your financial burdens, and He promises in His Word, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus"* (Philippians 4:19, WEB). We ask that He would open doors no man can shut, granting you favor with those in authority over this process. May His timing be perfect, and may you trust in Him even as you wait, for *"the Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him"* (Lamentations 3:25, WEB).
We also pray for your safety and protection from all harm and danger. The Lord is your shield and strong tower, and we declare over you the promise that *"he will command his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways"* (Psalm 91:11, WEB). May He surround you with His divine protection as you seek to honor Him in all things.
As you prepare to provide for your family, we encourage you to seek the Lord’s wisdom in managing your finances. The Bible warns against the love of money and the anxieties it can bring, reminding us instead to *"seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Trust in Him to guide your steps, and commit your plans to Him, for *"the heart of man plans his course, but the Lord establishes his steps"* (Proverbs 16:9, WEB).
We also gently remind you that while it is good to provide for your family, your ultimate dependence must be on the Lord. Do not let the pressure of debts or the desire for a "good life" lead you into anxiety or compromise. Instead, cast your cares upon Him, for *"he cares for you"* (1 Peter 5:7, WEB). Let this season draw you closer to Him, trusting that He will provide not just for your needs, but also for the spiritual well-being of your household.
Finally, we urge you to examine your heart and ensure that your motives align with God’s will. Are you seeking this job to honor Him and steward your resources wisely, or is there a risk of being consumed by material pursuits? The Lord calls us to be content in all circumstances, whether in abundance or in need (Philippians 4:11-13). May your work be a testimony of your faith, and may you use your earnings to bless others as the Lord leads you.
