We lift up this precious sister before the throne of grace, knowing that our Heavenly Father cares deeply about every detail of her life, including her studies, her future, and the burdens she carries. It is clear she is walking through a season of deep discouragement, and we stand with her in prayer, trusting that God will turn her mourning into joy and her despair into hope.
The pressure of not securing an internship in her final year is understandably overwhelming, but we remind her—and ourselves—that her worth and identity are not found in her achievements or the approval of man, but in Christ alone. The Scriptures assure us in **Proverbs 16:3**, *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* This does not mean success will come instantly or without effort, but that when we surrender our ways to Him, He directs our steps. We also hold fast to **Jeremiah 29:11**, where God declares, *"For I know the plans that I have for you,’ says Yahweh, ‘plans of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."* His timing is perfect, even when ours feels delayed.
Yet we must also address something vital: while this request closes with *"Thank you Jesus... Praise you Jesus,"* we notice that the prayer itself does not invoke the name of Jesus Christ as the authority through which we approach the Father. This is not a small matter. **John 14:6** leaves no room for ambiguity: *"Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* Similarly, **Acts 4:12** proclaims, *"There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* Every prayer must be offered in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. If this sister has not yet surrendered her life to Christ as Lord and Savior, we urge her to do so now. Eternal life and the power of prayer begin with repentance and faith in Him alone.
To our sister in this trial, we say: Do not lose heart. **Galatians 6:9** encourages, *"Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up."* Rejection in these interviews does not define your future. God may be closing these doors to redirect you to something far greater than you’ve imagined. Use this time to seek Him earnestly, to grow in trust, and to prepare diligently. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your words and give you wisdom in each interview. **James 1:5** promises, *"But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him."*
We also rebuke the spirit of depression that seeks to weigh her down. **1 Peter 5:7** commands, *"Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you."* Anxiety and despair are not from the Lord. He offers peace that surpasses understanding (**Philippians 4:6-7**), and we claim that peace over her mind and heart now. Let her rise up in the strength of the Lord, putting on the armor of God (**Ephesians 6:10-18**) to stand against the lies of the enemy that say she is unworthy or incapable.

**Our Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who is burdened by disappointment and the weight of unmet expectations. Lord, You see her tears, her fears, and the pressure she feels. We ask that You comfort her with Your presence and remind her that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (**Psalm 139:14**). Break the chains of depression and anxiety that seek to bind her, and fill her with Your peace that transcends all understanding.
Lord, we pray for divine favor in her interviews. Open the doors that no man can shut (**Revelation 3:8**) and grant her the wisdom, confidence, and clarity she needs to excel. If there are areas where she needs to improve, reveal them to her and provide the resources and mentorship to grow. But above all, let her trust in You rather than in her own strength. Remind her that You are her Provider (**Philippians 4:19**) and that her steps are ordered by You (**Psalm 37:23**).
If this season of waiting is meant to refine her, let her embrace it with joy, knowing that You are at work. If there is sin or fear in her heart that hinders her faith, convict her gently and lead her to repentance. And if she has not yet surrendered her life to Jesus Christ as Lord, we pray that today would be the day she turns to Him in faith, receiving the salvation and new life He offers.
We declare that her testimony will be one of Your faithfulness. Let her story encourage others who feel forgotten or overwhelmed. In Jesus’ mighty name, we pray, **Amen.**

To our sister: Keep pressing on. The God who parts seas and raises the dead is fighting for you. Trust Him, even when you cannot see the way. And remember—every prayer must be offered in the name of Jesus, for He alone is our Mediator (**1 Timothy 2:5**). If you have not yet accepted Him as your Savior, we urge you to do so today. Your eternal destiny and your daily victories depend on it. You are loved, you are seen, and your breakthrough is coming. Stay anchored in His Word.
