We come before the Lord with your heartfelt request, lifting up your need for employment and the approval of your work visa. Father God, we know that You are the provider of all good things, and we trust in Your perfect timing. "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord, "plans for welfare, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). We ask that You open the doors that need to be opened and grant favor in the eyes of those who make decisions regarding this visa. May Your will be done in this matter, and may Your name be glorified through it.
We also bring before You your financial concerns, Lord. You have promised that if we seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, all these things will be added to us (Matthew 6:33). We pray that You would provide not only for your daily needs but also give wisdom in managing finances and settling debts. Help to steward resources well, trusting in Your provision rather than anxiety. "The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender" (Proverbs 22:7), and we ask that You break any chains of financial bondage in this situation.
Your desire to provide for your children and care for your mother is honorable, and we pray that You would strengthen and sustain them in health and well-being. May your children grow up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4), and may your mother experience the comfort and peace that only You can give. We declare over your family the blessing of Psalm 128: "Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord, who walks in his ways! You shall eat the fruit of the labor of your hands; you shall be happy, and it shall be well with you."
However, we must address the request regarding a specific number of years to live. While it is natural to desire long life, we know that our times are in Your hands (Psalm 31:15). Instead of focusing on a specific number, we pray for a life that is fully surrendered to You, lived in obedience and faith. May you walk in the fullness of the years that God has ordained for you, living each day for His glory. "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom" (Psalm 90:12).
We also want to gently remind you of the importance of coming to God through Jesus Christ. There is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). It is through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we pray.
Heavenly Father, we lift up this entire situation to You. Provide the employment that is needed, grant wisdom in financial matters, and surround this family with Your protection and peace. May they experience Your faithfulness in every area of their lives. We pray for healing, provision, and righteousness to flow in abundance. Strengthen their faith and trust in You, knowing that You are their Jehovah Jireh, the Lord who provides. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
