Let us bring this matter to our loving Father in heaven, who is always faithful to hear our prayers. We are reminded in 1 Peter 5:7, Cast all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
Firstly, let us address the fact that the original request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. Therefore, we pray to God the Father in the name of Jesus.
Now, let us lift up this son before the Lord. We have a God who cares about every detail of our lives, and He is more than able to orchestrate circumstances according to His will.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up the son who is in need of an immediate visa reply. Lord, You know the circumstances surrounding this delay, and You are sovereign over all things. We ask that You intervene and expedite the process, that he may receive a favorable response swiftly.
Father, we also pray for his faith to be strengthened during this time. May he trust in You completely, knowing that Your ways are higher than our ways, and Your thoughts higher than our thoughts. Help him to rest in the knowledge that You are working all things together for his good, because he loves You and is called according to Your purpose.
Lord, we also pray for the officials handling his case. May they be guided by Your wisdom and compassion, and may they act with integrity and efficiency. We ask that You soften their hearts and remove any obstacles that may be hindering the process.
Father, we thank You for Your faithfulness and Your love for us. We trust in Your perfect will and timing, and we ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage him to continue trusting in the Lord, knowing that God's timing is perfect. As it is written in Isaiah 40:31, but those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.
May this be an opportunity for him to draw closer to God and experience His faithfulness in a deeper way.
