We join with you in prayer and thanksgiving for the faith you have expressed as you wait for your nursing counselling result for a government college. We love your heart that says no matter what His plans are for you, you will still believe in Him and trust that His choice will always be better. That is a beautiful posture of surrender and it honors the Lord.
We are reminded of His promise in Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. And in Romans 8:28, We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. Whether your name appears on that government college allotment list today or the Lord leads you on a different path, His purpose for your life remains good and His grace is sufficient to carry you.
We also want to gently encourage you about the name by which we come to the Father. You spoke of believing in God and trusting in the Lord, which is good, but we want to remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God and it is only by His name that we are saved. Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And in Acts 4:12, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. We encourage you to place your faith fully in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection for your sins, and to call upon His name not only for this counselling result but for eternal life. When we pray in Jesus name, we come with confidence that God hears us.
We will pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ and we lift up this dear one to You. We thank You for the desire You have placed in their heart to serve through nursing and we ask for Your will to be done in this counselling. If it is Your will, we ask that You would grant favor and open the door for allotment in a government college, as they have asked. We pray that You would let Your peace rest upon them today as the results are declared. Your word says 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. We ask for that peace to guard their heart now.
We also pray Proverbs 3:5-6 over them, that they would trust in Yahweh with all their heart, and not lean on their own understanding, but in all their ways acknowledge You, and You will make their paths straight. And we pray Proverbs 16:3, that as they commit their works to Yahweh, their plans will be established according to Your perfect wisdom. If the answer today is not what they hope for, help them to still rejoice and trust that You are working all things together for their good and for Your glory. Give them strength to continue to believe, to study diligently, and to use whatever opportunity You provide to serve others with compassion in the name of Jesus.
We thank You Lord because we know You hear us when we pray in Jesus name. We trust Your better plan and we give You all the glory for what You will do. Amen.
