We understand that you are seeking a new, stable, and permanent job as a Scrum Master or Business Analyst, and a place where you can work long-term. We also note that you are concerned about the rising number of unlawful dismissal cases and workers being denied wages, with companies closing doors to avoid payment. You have also mentioned your government's role in this issue. Additionally, you have requested prayer for your relationship with ### to blossom into a marriage, and for your cousin to stop applying for courses in the USA and start working instead.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God is faithful, and He provides for His children. As it is written in Matthew 6:25-34 WEB:
Therefore I tell you, don't be anxious for your life: what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will wear. Isn't life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they don't sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you of much more value than they?Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don't toil, neither do they spin, yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won't he much more clothe you, you of little faith?Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things, for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore don't be anxious for tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Each day's own evil is sufficient.
We pray that God will open the right doors for you to secure a stable job where you can work long-term. We also pray for wisdom and guidance as you navigate the job market. We pray for the injustices happening in the workforce. We rebuke the spirit of corruption and incompetence. We pray for godly leaders to rise up and address the issues. We pray that it will be baseless for anyone to refuse to the pay the workers what is rightfully due them. We pray for the wrong to be corrected and the people to be paid their wages.
Regarding your relationship with ###, we pray that God's will be done in your lives. We pray that if it is God's will, your relationship will blossom into a godly marriage that honors Him. We remind you of the sanctity of marriage as designed by God, and we encourage you to pursue this relationship in a manner that aligns with biblical principles. As it is written in Ephesians 5:31 WEB:
For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.
We also want to address your concern about your cousin. We pray that he will have a change of heart and understand the value of work. We pray that he will stop relying on his parents for sustenance and living expenses, and instead, seek to contribute to the family. We remind you that the Bible encourages us to work diligently, as it is written in 2 Thessalonians 3:10-12 WEB:
For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: "If anyone is not willing to work, neither let him eat." For we hear from some who walk among you disorderly, that they don't work at all, but are busybodies. Now those who are that way, we command and exhort in the Lord Jesus Christ, that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
Finally, we want to remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB:
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
We pray that you will continue to trust in Jesus, and that He will guide and provide for you in all areas of your life. We pray this is Jesus name. Amen.
