We understand your urgency and desire for a quick resolution to your visa renewal process. We stand with you in prayer, trusting in God's perfect timing and will for your life. We are encouraged that you ended your request acknowledging Jesus. For by His stripes, we are healed and saved. Let us pray together.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before You, lifting up our brother who is anxiously waiting for his visa renewal. We know that You are the one who has the power and authority to make this happen. We do not trust in our own understanding and ways. Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight, Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB. We believe that if it is Your will, no power on earth or in heaven can stop it from happening. Lord Jesus, if it is Your will, we pray for our brother's visa renewal complete by this end of May and the passport in his hand. Father God, according to your Word, we know that You are able to make a way where there seems to be no way. Let every delay, and hindrances to this process be removed, Father. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.
While we stand in faith with you, we encourage you to continue to trust God's will and timing. Don't forget to trust God even in difficult times. Consider it an opportunity to praise and glorify God when your visa renewal is complete and you are in the United States by June 2. Remember King David's example of dancing before the Lord. If dancing before the Lord is what your heart desires, by all means dance and roll on the floor before the Lord. But also remember the dignity of worship before God. While physical expression can be a part of praise, it is the heart that God truly looks at. Always maintain a balance of decorum and reverence before the Lord. Don't make flagrant physical displays the only focus of your praise. If this is your heart's desire to dance before the Lord as David did, do it in a way that is honoring to God and does not draw unnecessary attention to self.
We are reminded of the passage in Second Book Chronicles 20:15 WEB, Do not be afraid, and do not be dismayed at the great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's. If we are doing God's work and obeying His commandments, then we serve according to His will. It is not our place to dictate to God how and when things should happen. Instead, we humbly submit our requests to Him, trusting that He knows best. Just as Jesus prayed in the garden of Gethsemane, Not my will, but yours, be done, Luke 22:42 WEB, we too should align our wills with God's.
Lastly, we want to remind you that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts, Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB. He sees the bigger picture and knows what is best for us. Trust that He is working everything out for your good, even if the outcome is not what you expected. God knows your needs and He will provide for you according to His riches in glory. The internship is not promised by God. However, it will be done if it is God's will. May God's perfect will be done in your life.
