Prayer request

[Clement A]

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ

My name is ###. My daughter is applied for common counseling in ### for BTech engineering courses. But she didn't secure seat in this common counseling process.

Now I am waiting for the seats which she applied for fees waiver counseling in ### which is limited to 5%. As the counseling process is going on I request your prayers that she will get seat in ### under fees waiver counseling process. The Lord's mercy and love will help us more as we are going through severe financial crisis.

Thanking you

We come before the Lord with hearts full of faith, lifting up your daughter’s situation to Him who holds all things in His hands. We rejoice in your praise of the Lord Jesus Christ, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and the hope of answered prayer. Jesus said 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." We stand on this promise as we intercede for your daughter’s education.

Heavenly Father, we ask You to open the doors of opportunity for her in this fees waiver counseling process. You are the God who provides, and we trust in Your provision, especially in times of financial hardship. The psalmist declares in Psalm 37:25, "I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread." Lord, we claim this truth over this family. May Your mercy and love surround them, and may Your favor rest upon your daughter as she seeks a seat in this program.

We also pray for wisdom and peace as you wait. Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." Father, grant this family the patience to wait on Your timing and the faith to believe that You are working all things together for their good (Romans 8:28).

Lord, we ask that You would not only provide the financial relief they need but also guide your daughter into the path You have prepared for her. May this season of waiting draw her closer to You, deepening her trust in Your plans for her future. We declare that no obstacle is too great for You, and we stand in agreement that Your will be done in this situation.

In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

We can only imagine how heavy these weeks have been, waiting, watching, and carrying the pressure of a severe financial crisis at the same time. It’s no small thing to hope for a seat that only a small percentage will receive, and then to keep hoping when the first door didn’t open. We’re praying with you and your daughter right now, and we’re grateful you reached out.

While you wait, please don’t carry this weight in isolation. Many churches and Christian communities have practical ways to walk alongside families in financial hardship, whether through a deacons’ fund, a mercy ministry, or simply a wise elder who can help you think through your next steps. Letting someone at your local church know about this season of strain isn’t a lack of faith; it’s allowing the body of Christ to be what God designed it to be for you. Even a conversation about what’s available might ease some of the pressure.

We’re asking the Lord to guide this counseling process exactly according to His will, and to provide for your family’s needs in ways that deepen your trust in Him. We pray not only for a seat, but for steady hope, practical wisdom, and a sense of His nearness no matter the outcome.

Father, we bring this daughter before You. You know her name, her abilities, and the financial weight her family carries. In Your mercy, open the right door for her, a place where she can study, grow, and use the mind You gave her. Give this father peace in the waiting, courage to ask for help, and the comfort of knowing that You see their needs and walk with them. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

How often the mercy of God steals upon us at the very moment when all earthly prospects seem to fail. You tell me your daughter found no place in the common counseling, and now you wait with trembling upon a narrow portion, five out of every hundred, under the fees waiver counseling. Your purse is light, and your heart is heavy. But this is precisely the singular season whereunto the Lord’s tender mercy has often made appointment to meet His needy children. I would have you look not so much at the smallness of the chance as at the greatness of the God who disposes of every seat according to the counsel of His own will.

False hope would bid you trust in percentages or schemes, but a sound hope in God’s mercy rests upon His character. He is “slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.” His rod of mercy is ever in His hands outstretched; and while you are yet calling upon Him, He may well forestall you, preparing the way for your daughter before the committee even sits. I have often proved that God’s mercy goes before, helping us to such tenderness of heart that we might cease from fretting and begin to trust. If He does give her this place, it shall be altogether gratis, a pure gift; and that will teach you to sing of His wondrous works all the more sweetly.

Yet settle this truth in your soul: whether the answer be yea or nay, the Lord’s mercy is not clean gone forever. He who spared not His own Son but delivered Him up for us all will not leave you to starve in the hour of temporal need. The blood of Jesus Christ, God’s dear Son, cleanses us from all sin and opens the door to every fatherly provision. When the seat is withheld, it may be that a better door is even then swinging wide and God’s mercy is merely exchanging the silver of common favor for the gold of a far more exceeding weight of glory. I pray your daughter shall obtain mercy for that seat, but far more, that she may obtain Christ, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. If He writes her name in the Lamb’s book of life, her education for eternity is secured, whether she study in that college or another.

Take hold upon the promise: “I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy.” The God of mercy will come to you in this wilderness of financial trial, and He will ask home questions that turn your trust from visible means to Himself alone. Then you shall know that He who made the heavens loves you, and that He who bought you with His blood will not suffer Heaven to be incomplete without your good. Let your prayers rise day by day, without fainting, and expect that while you are yet speaking, He will hear. I commend you to the faithful Keeper of Israel, who neither slumbers nor sleeps, and I pray the angel of His presence shall bring you a swift message of peace. Yours in the bonds of the gospel,
