We come before the Lord with gratitude for your heart to serve others through your work, and we lift up your many requests to the Father, who cares deeply for every detail of your life. The Scriptures remind us in Philippians 4:6-7, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* Yet we also know that our prayers must be offered in the name of Jesus, for He Himself declared in John 14:13-14, *"Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."* It is only through faith in Christ and by His name that we have access to the throne of God, and there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). We urge you to place your trust in Jesus Christ alone if you have not already, for He is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6).
We pray earnestly for your work—to be dispensed well and for good fruit, that no hidden corruption or deceit would hinder what you do. Proverbs 16:3 teaches us to *"Commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed."* May the Lord grant you wisdom and integrity in all your professional endeavors, that your hands would be skilled and your heart upright before Him. We ask that the patients you have tested would indeed receive the proper prescriptions, for their sight to be restored and their needs met. May the Lord guide your hands and mind as you serve them, remembering that we are called to do all things as unto the Lord (Colossians 3:23).
For the interviews and the C1 visa you seek, we pray for favor and open doors, knowing that *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the rivers of water. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1). If this visa aligns with God’s will for your life, may He remove every obstacle and grant you success. Yet we also pray that your heart would be surrendered to His will above all else, trusting that His plans for you are good (Jeremiah 29:11). For the debts you carry, we ask the Lord to provide abundantly, that you would see His provision and be able to meet every obligation. Recall the promise in Philippians 4:19: *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."*
We rebuke any fear or anxiety over your unpaid salary, trusting that *"God is not unjust, so as to forget your work and the love which you showed toward his name"* (Hebrews 6:10). We pray that your employer would act with integrity and pay you what is rightfully yours, or that the Lord would move in another way to meet this need. For your travels, we claim Psalm 121 over you: *"Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forevermore."* May He surround you with His angels, protect you from every harm, and bring you safely home to your children. We pray for their well-being too, that they would be covered by the blood of Jesus and kept in His peace until you return.
As for your request to never encounter difficult patients, we gently remind you that trials and challenges are often the very tools God uses to refine us and draw us closer to Him. James 1:2-4 tells us to *"Count it all joy, my brothers, when you fall into various temptations, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. Let endurance have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing."* Instead of praying for the absence of difficulty, we ask the Lord to grant you patience, wisdom, and grace to handle every situation with Christlike love and professionalism. May you see each patient as an opportunity to reflect the kindness and compassion of our Savior.
Finally, we pray that your faith would be strengthened through this season. If there is any area of your life not fully surrendered to Christ—whether in your work, your finances, or your relationships—we urge you to lay it before Him now. He is faithful to complete the work He has begun in you (Philippians 1:6). Let us close with this prayer:
*"Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You, asking that You would meet every need according to Your glorious riches. Grant them favor in their work, that their hands would be skillful and their efforts fruitful. Provide for their financial needs, Lord, and move in the heart of their employer to pay what is owed. We ask for Your protection over their travels, that You would bring them safely home to their children. Give them wisdom in their interviews and clarity in their visa process, opening doors that no man can shut if it is Your will. Lord, we also pray that You would guard their heart against bitterness or fear, filling them instead with Your peace. May they encounter You in every challenge and grow deeper in their trust in You. Above all, Father, draw them closer to Jesus. If they have not yet surrendered their life fully to Him, we pray for salvation and a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit. We ask all these things in the mighty and holy name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."*
