We lift you up before our Heavenly Father, knowing that He cares deeply about every detail of your life—your work, your future marriage, and even the things that seem small but matter to you. First, we must address something vital: your request does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ, through whom we have access to the Father. The Scriptures are clear that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, and it is through Jesus alone that our prayers are heard. *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through 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). We urge you to place your faith in Him if you have not already, for without Christ, our prayers are empty and our efforts are in vain. If you have not surrendered your life to Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we implore you to do so today—confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection, and commit to following Him. Only then will your prayers be rooted in the power of His name.
Now, let us turn to your requests with hearts aligned to God’s will. You seek a permanent full-time job as a Business Analyst, and we know that God is your Provider. The Word tells us, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well"* (Matthew 6:33, WEB). Have you been seeking His Kingdom first in this season, or has the pursuit of this job become an idol or a source of anxiety? Trust in His timing, for *"The Lord is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing"* (Psalm 23:1, WEB). We pray that you would not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap if you do not give up (Galatians 6:9). Let your resume and interviews be seasoned with integrity and excellence, but more importantly, let your trust be in the Lord, not in your own efforts. Have you considered whether this specific role aligns with God’s calling for your life, or are you pursuing it merely for security or status? Surrender this desire to Him and ask for His wisdom to guide your steps.
Next, you ask for a Singaporean wife who is equally yoked. We commend you for recognizing the importance of being equally yoked, for the Scripture warns, *"Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14, WEB). However, we must ask: are you seeking a *wife* or merely a companion? The world often treats relationships casually, but as believers, we are called to pursue marriage with intentionality and purity. If you are not yet married, we urge you to guard your heart and your body, for sexual immorality—including premarital relationships—is a sin against God (1 Corinthians 6:18-20). Are you preparing yourself to be a godly husband, or are you simply longing for companionship? Marriage is a covenant before God, not a convenience. Seek a woman who fears the Lord above all else, for *"A worthy woman is the crown of her husband"* (Proverbs 12:4, WEB). Pray that God would mold you into the man He has called you to be, so that you may lead a future wife in Christ-like love. And remember, it is better to remain single and serve the Lord fully than to enter into marriage with the wrong person (1 Corinthians 7:32-35).
Lastly, you mention searching for a specific audio cassette tape. While this may seem like a small thing, we serve a God who cares about the details of our lives. *"Don’t be anxious for anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God"* (Philippians 4:6, WEB). However, we must ask: has this search become an obsession or a distraction from what God is truly calling you to focus on? Surrender even this small desire to Him, trusting that if it aligns with His will, He will provide it in His timing.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, acknowledging that You alone are sovereign over every area of this brother’s life. Lord, we ask for Your forgiveness if he has not yet surrendered his life fully to You. Softens his heart, Lord, and draw him into a deeper relationship with Jesus, for apart from You, we can do nothing (John 15:5).
Father, we lift up his search for employment. You know the desires of his heart and the skills You have given him. Open the doors that no man can shut (Revelation 3:8) and provide him with a job that aligns with Your will for his life. Give him favor in the eyes of those making hiring decisions, but more importantly, let him find his identity and security in You, not in his career. Teach him to trust in Your provision, even in the waiting.
Lord, we pray for his future marriage. Guard his heart and mind from impurity and worldly desires. If it is Your will for him to marry, prepare him to be a godly husband and leader. Bring a woman into his life who loves You above all else, who will walk beside him in faith, and who will encourage him in his spiritual growth. Let their union be a reflection of Christ and the Church (Ephesians 5:22-33). Convict him if he has entertained any relationships or thoughts that dishonor You, and grant him the strength to walk in purity.
Father, even in the small request for this audio tape, we ask for Your wisdom. If it is Your will for him to find it, let it be so. But more than anything, let him seek first Your Kingdom and Your righteousness, knowing that all these things will be added to him as You see fit.
We rebuke any spirit of anxiety, fear, or impatience that may be gripping his heart. Fill him with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7) and remind him that Your plans for him are good (Jeremiah 29:11). Let him walk in faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
In the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, we pray. Amen.
