Prayer requests

[Rajeswari@Esther]

Dear Prayer Warriors,

Please pray for the following to God through in the Name of Jesus. Amen.

I am worried about my marriage, due to delay. Since this generation has not gotten any Godly, spiritually good grooms. That's why I am very much upset. I am crying crying, but there is no answer and made as a Mad.

I am waiting for God's perfect time. But when? As per Bible, there is no possibilities that everybody get their marriage as early. God will permit them or allow them that at their older age. In that case there should be any future family will be there (i.e no son or daughter) and their generation will end. Moreover God will give obstacles and not favor for the honest persons and will favor for those who steal, cheat, lie, fraud with others, since God will wait for their repentance and not giving any obstacles or any earthly physical punishment or material punishment. If anybody believe Bible, then their life will be spoiled by the God. Nobody can follow as per Bible. Example is Israel don't believe Messiah (Jesus) and they are waiting till today. Hence, if anybody believe that God is there, then that is waste of time and instead of believing God, they have to work hard, sincere, take responsibilities, duty, which will give them fruitful answers and beneficial. Shall any honest have to wait until death for God's answers or God's Will or God's Time. If so, the honest cannot able to live in the earth and wicked persons only live.

Almost I have attained my marriage age. I believe that God's perfect time, but the perfect time will be my old age as per God's perfect time. According to age, the marriage has to be done within the proper age. If late marriage, then childbirth is very very critical. Moreover, there is very mental torture for the couples to give an answer to their relatives, friends, and the people among whom they live.

Still believing God that He will give the good groom for me. But the marriage should occur very very quickly. If not within the marriage age and the marriage has to occur at old age, then I have to suffer due to late marriage and cannot be able to tackle the situation around me.

(1) I am believing that our God will provide a permanent job position in Government or Public Sector (PSU) as Homoeopathy Physician or Homoeopathy Doctor or Medical Officer or Research Officer or GDMO or JRF or any other suitable job position and till up to God's Will & God's Time. I will wait and till that period God have to provide a Temporary Govt Job to me. Faith in our God that the God will grace on me and provide the appointment order for a permanent job position in Government or Public Sector enable me to explain regarding our God's mercies to my patients.

(2) My family member to get a permanent government / public sector (PSU) according to the Professional educational qualification. Please pray for ### to get the permanent government or public sector (PSU) job by God's Grace which will Glorify God. Hope God will definitely Mercy to him. Will send the PRAISE REPORT once he got the job from govt.

(3) Regarding My Marriage - Get the best bridegroom for me who will be a doctor with better earnings with GOOD HABITS and No Bad Habit according to the Bible and also a spiritually good. The marriage should be done very very quickly due to age, but I hope that God's time has not come till yesterday. Anyhow, my marriage has to occur at the earliest possible with a Godly Doctor or Government Employee Engineer with good habits and without bad habits and earning a good salary/income. Awaiting for God's order and will and God's time.

Is God is Powerful - No. But seems that He not powerful than Satan. Satan is doing Miracles in the earth now. Is God is Active - No. God is Inactive. Is God is Merciful - No. Satan is Merciful, since he is doing Miracles to their believers. Is God have Grace - No. Merciless, Graceless, Powerless, Inactive God. Why because the above prayer requests (1 to 3, 5 to 8) are not yet fulfilled. Eventhough I was having Faith with God that He will put Mercy on me. I was hoping that by God's Grace all requests will be fulfilled, but nothing fulfilled. Not only fulfilled, but also the requests are kept with God as the Stone into the Well Water (i.e Inactive). I am praying more than 4 years to God that all the requests have to be fulfilled, but till now nothing is fulfilled. Hence it is assumed that God is a stone. He cannot able to fulfil anything to their believers. As per Bible God is some count slowness, but I have seen that always slowness. Always Inactive. Always Powerless. Always Merciless. Always Graceless. Always favouring for wicked peoples. Always favouring for Dishonest persons not Honest persons and Lover of God. God is enjoying that when wicked persons are doing and wickedness to the Honest persons, God's Lover and that's He is silent.

(4) For our family good health

(5) A Person and his have cheated us that they have received a huge amount from us against a House for Lease. But as per their commitment and promise, they have not handed over their own house to us for Lease. Hence, we have asked the cheaters, Liars (and his wife both) to return the full amount to us, but till today they have not yet returned the full amount to us. We have taken a Loan for paying the House Lease. The Interest of the Loan is increasing huge day by day. Why God is seeing this kind of wickedness? Why God is patience almost more than eight months? The wicked person and his wife is under the control of Satan, hence, whatever they speak with us from mouth are lies only. The wicked person and his wife is purposely cheating us and cheating many others also as per the inquiry. Why God is Inactive? Why God is Merciless for the God fearing families? Why no Grace upon the the familes who are fearing for God to do any wrongdoing? Is there any punishment whether through physical or material for the Cheater, Liar, Fraud; if so when God will give punishment to the wicked persons enable them to return our money and repent and turn to God. If not punishment to a human, then never ever repent which is human nature. Awaiting for the return of our money from the wicked persons and a remarkable suffering to them by God enable them not to do any other wicked things in their life to anybody.

(5) To buy a house and run a Homoeopathy Clinic to explain the glory of our God.

(6) My family has to provide employment to give education to poor people which should change their lifestyle and glory to our God.

(7) Myself & my family member have to get a permanent job in Government or Public Sector as per our educational/professional qualifications urgently. Since we to settle in life and then only he has a plan to get married. Hope that our God is mercy on his life and do the mercy in his life. By God's grace, he has to get the permanent job position. Please pray that in God's mercy from God's eyes to this son.

(8) I have to study M.D. - PG Degree or PhD. By God's grace, I have to get a good Government College on merit with a safest college and place with a good valuable faculty. Our God have to mercy on me in this regard.

Can you tell me what is God's Time !!! How to know the God's Time !!! When will be God's Time (i.e. the period starts) How to find God's Will !!!! Any indication or any identity !!! What is God's Time is Perfect?

I am believing that our God will be mercy in my & our family life. We have faith that the above request will be fulfilled by today by the grace of our God. We are waiting for the grace occurred and also waiting for God

 

[Articles]

We have heard your cry and we join with you in prayer before our heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to God. You began your request in the name of Jesus and we thank God for that faith, for there is no other name by which we can be saved and no other way to come to the Father. As it is written, Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. John 14:6 and 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. Acts 4:12

We hear your deep distress about your marriage and your age, your tears and the feeling that you have been made as one who is mocked, and the pressure you feel from relatives and friends and the worry about childbearing if marriage is delayed. We also hear your honest confession of doubt and the very hard words you have spoken about God in your pain, that He is powerless, inactive, merciless and graceless, that He favors the wicked and is like a stone in a well. We love you and we must gently rebuke and correct these thoughts, not to condemn you, but to restore you, because they do not align with the truth of Scripture and they will only deepen your despair.

Our God is not powerless before Satan. He is Almighty and Sovereign. Greater is he who is in you than he who is in the world. 1 John 4:4 Satan may appear to do wonders for a time, but his power is limited and already defeated at the cross. Our God is not inactive or merciless. The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness. Psalm 103:8 The Lord is not slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness, but is patient with us, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9 What you have seen as slowness and inactivity is often His patience and His perfect wisdom working for your good, even when we cannot see it. His delay is not denial and His silence is not absence.

We also must correct the idea that believing the Bible spoils a life or that honest people cannot live on earth while the wicked prosper. The psalmist wrestled with this same sight and learned that the prosperity of the wicked is fleeting, but the Lord upholds the righteous. Do not be envious of evil doers. Psalm 37:1, Psalm 73:16-17 The wicked may seem to have no obstacles for a season because God in His mercy gives them time to repent, but that does not mean He approves their stealing, cheating and lying. He will surely bring justice in His time. Do not be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. Galatians 6:7 Vengeance belongs to Him. Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but give place to God's wrath. For it is written, Vengeance belongs to me, I will repay, says the Lord. Romans 12:19

You ask what is God's time and how to know His will. God's time is not our hurried time. My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, says the Lord. Isaiah 55:8 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Ecclesiastes 3:11 His time is perfect because He sees the end from the beginning and knows what is best for you, to give you a future and a hope. For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 We know His will as we trust Him, delight in Him, and seek first His Kingdom. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 and Seek first God's Kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Matthew 6:33 and Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Psalm 37:4 His will is revealed step by step as we walk faithfully, work diligently as unto the Lord, and pray without ceasing. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men. Colossians 3:23 Believing God is never a waste of time, for without faith it is impossible to please Him, and faith does not replace hard work, but gives hard work its eternal purpose.

Concerning your marriage, we affirm your desire for a godly marriage as God ordained between a man and a woman for life. We pray with you for a godly bridegroom, a believing man, a doctor or government employee as you have asked, but above all a man with good habits and no bad habits according to the Bible, spiritually mature, who will love you as Christ loved the church. We encourage you to seek courtship with the goal of marriage to a fellow believer, for Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. 2 Corinthians 6:14 We understand your fear about age and childbirth, and the mental torture of answering others. We remind you that our God is the God of Sarah and Hannah and Elizabeth, who opened wombs in His time. Nothing is impossible with God. But we also encourage you to cast your anxiety on Him, for He cares for you. Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 and to wait with hope. Wait for the Lord. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the Lord. Psalm 27:14 Marriage done quickly in our own haste without God's leading can bring greater sorrow, while marriage in His perfect time, even if later than we planned, brings peace.

We lift up all your requests together now.

Father, in the name of Jesus we come to You on behalf of our sister and her family. Lord, You see her tears and You collect them in Your bottle. You know her longing for a permanent position as a Homoeopathy Physician or Medical Officer or Research Officer or in any suitable government or public sector post, and her need for a temporary provision until then. You know her family member who also seeks a permanent government post according to his professional qualification. We ask that You open doors that no man can shut, according to Your will, and provide for their daily needs as they seek first Your Kingdom. We pray for good health for the whole family, for healing and strength. We pray for wisdom and favor for her desire to study M.D. or PhD in a good government college with safe place and valuable faculty, if it is Your will. We pray for the desire to buy a house and run a Homoeopathy clinic to show Your glory, and to provide employment and education to poor people. Lord, let all these be done not for pride but to glorify You.

We also bring before You the deep wound of being cheated in the house lease, the huge amount taken and not returned, the loan and increasing interest, the lies spoken by those who have done this. Lord, You see all wickedness and You are just. We ask that You would move upon the hearts of those who cheated, to bring them to repentance and to return what was taken. We ask that You would make a way for this debt to be resolved and provide for our sister's family. And we ask that You would guard her heart from bitterness, and help her to forgive as You forgave us, while still seeking what is right and lawful, leaving vengeance in Your hands.

Most of all, Father, we pray for her marriage. If it is Your will for her to marry, provide in Your perfect time a godly husband, a believing man of good character, free from bad habits, who walks with You and will honor marriage as You designed. Let this courtship be pure and lead quickly but not hastily, in Your wisdom, to a holy marriage that honors You. Comfort her heart while she waits, take away the shame she feels before relatives, and let her know that her worth is in You, not in her marital status or age. Help her to trust that You are powerful, active, merciful and gracious, and that You work all things together for good for those who love You. We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

Forgive her for the words spoken in anguish against Your character, as You forgave Job and David in their distress, and renew her faith. Let her see that You have not forsaken her, that Your mercy endures forever, and that Your timing, though it tests us, is always loving. Restore joy and hope, and let her future testimony be of Your faithfulness, so she can indeed tell her patients and all around her of Your mercies.

We ask all this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We hear how long you have been carrying this, waiting and praying for more than four years while the pressure around marriage, work and the house lease keeps growing. It makes sense that you feel worn down and even wonder if God is listening when honest waiting feels so costly and others seem to get ahead without consequences.

Waiting for a spouse within a certain age, especially with questions from family and friends, brings real mental strain. And carrying a loan with interest growing while you wait for money to be returned adds daily worry. You are not alone in finding that kind of delay painful, many believers have felt that same ache and asked similar what if questions when God seems silent.

We are praying with you for clear next steps and for peace as you wait.

It may help to share this burden more personally with one or two trusted people who know you well, a pastor or mature mentor who can walk with you in prayer about the job search and marriage hopes and also help you think through practical options. For the lease matter, if you have not already, consider showing all papers to a trusted legal aid or advisor in your area who can advise on how to seek the return of the amount. And for ongoing stress and health, it is good to stay connected to a doctor or counselor alongside prayer.

Father, we bring this friend and family before You in Jesus name. You see the tears, the waiting and the financial burden. Grant wisdom, provision, good health and faithful guidance for work and marriage according to Your will. Lift the discouragement and draw near with Your comfort and presence. Amen.

Praying for this in Jesus Name.

 

[Spurgeon]

Your sorrowful letter has been read with much tenderness of heart, and your tears and long waiting have not been overlooked by Him who bottles every tear. You have cried for more than four years, you feel pressed on every side by age and by the questions of relatives and friends, by the burden of a loan and by the deceit of those who have taken your money, and by the longing for a settled calling and a godly home. It is no small trial to wait, and the Lord knows the weight of it.

You have spoken hard things in your anguish, as if God were as a stone in the well, powerless and inactive, merciless and graceless, favouring the deceitful while afflicting the honest. Let me deal faithfully with you, for such thoughts dishonour the Lord who is your only hope. The Scripture declares that our God waits that He may be gracious, and blessed are all they that wait for Him. His waiting is not idleness nor impotence, but the patience of a Father who has all power in His hand and all mercy in His heart. Even the black brow of tempest has His name written upon it in letters of lightning, and how much more has He written His law and His love upon the hearts of His people. He does not send His epistles as blank paper. What He writes He preserves, and the heart that had His law written upon it years ago still has it in the last expiring moments.

You ask, what is God's time and how shall a man know it, and when does it begin, and how is His will to be discerned. God's time is not our time. With the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. He is never too early and never too late. His time is perfect because it is ordered by infinite wisdom and infinite love together. You shall know His will not by a sudden voice apart from His Word, but by that Word preserved century after century with freshness and force, by prayer that waits only upon God and not upon the arm of flesh, by providence that opens and shuts doors, and by a growing conformity to Christ. Waiting upon God is not waiting in despair nor in hesitation, but waiting in hope, as a servant waits upon his lord to know his master's wish, as a traveller waits upon his guide. Such waiting renews strength until we mount up with wings as eagles, it makes the world grow small and breeds peace within the soul.

You fear that to believe the Bible is to spoil your life, and that honest labour is more fruitful than faith. Yet faith does not set aside duty, it establishes it. We are to work hard, to be sincere, to take responsibility, and at the same time to trust the Lord who gives the increase. Without Him our labour is in vain. You have pointed to Israel's unbelief and to the prosperity of the wicked. The psalmist was troubled by the same sight until he went into the sanctuary and understood their end. God is not favouring the thief and the liar when He forbears for a season. His slowness is longsuffering, not slackness, and there is no wrong done to His people but it is registered in His archives. He will repay, and He will in His own holy way cause the deceiver to feel the weight of his sin, whether by the stings of conscience, by lawful restitution, or by judgment to come. Vengeance belongs to Him, and you may with a clear conscience seek what is just by lawful and honest means while leaving your heart free from bitterness.

Concerning marriage, your desire is comely and according to Scripture, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, entered in purity and in the fear of God, with a partner of good habits and of spiritual mind. That desire the Lord does not despise. But do not measure His goodness only by haste. A late marriage is not a ruined life in His hands. He who formed the body is Lord of the womb and of all the seasons of life. Many have been tried by delay and have afterwards praised Him for that very delay which preserved them from an unequal yoke. Wait bravely, as the psalmist says, wait on the Lord and be of good courage. Do not give answer to every inquisitive tongue as if you must justify God's providence. Let your answer be quiet trust and diligent faithfulness in your present calling.

For your other burdens we will carry them to the throne of grace through Jesus Christ alone, for there is no other name by which we may come. We will pray that the Lord in His mercy will provide for you and for your family member such employment as is honest and sufficient, whether in government or public sector or elsewhere as He in His wisdom appoints, and that He will provide daily bread while you wait. We will pray for your health and the health of your household, for wisdom concerning the house and the clinic you hope to use for His glory, for open doors to help the poor with education, and for guidance in your further studies for the MD or research degree, that you may be placed where the faculty is sound and the path is safe. Above all we will pray that you may be kept holy and preserved in His ways, for holiness is the best testimony to His grace.

Do not say that Satan does miracles and therefore is merciful. The adversary may counterfeit power, but he has no mercy. He is a destroyer from the beginning. The blood of Jesus Christ, God's dear Son, alone cleanses from all sin and proves God's love beyond all dispute. Look into the side of the bleeding Saviour and see at once God's hatred of sin and God's love for sinners. There you will learn that mercy and grace are not absent, but flowing.

Therefore take courage. God's promise may tarry, but it never fails. Has God forgotten to be gracious. Let unbelief be answered by the cross and by the empty grave. Continue instant in prayer, continue diligent in duty, continue pure in hope. The Lord who taught you from your youth will not cast you out now. He who has begun a good work will preserve the writing upon your heart until He brings you to Himself at the last.

We join our prayers with yours now, that the Lord would grant you patience to wait, faith to trust, and grace to be content with His perfect will, and that in His time and in His way He would supply all that you need for life and godliness, to the praise of His own name. Amen.

[Chrysostom]

Your cries and your long waiting have been heard, and I thank you for pouring out your heart so honestly before God and before those who pray with you. Four years of prayer without seeing the answer you long for is a heavy burden, and the questions you raise about age, marriage, work, family needs, and even the honesty of those who have wronged you are real and painful. I want to answer you gently and truthfully from Scripture, and to pray with you in the name of Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have access to the Father and hope of salvation.

First, hear what Scripture says about God Himself, because your letter speaks as if He is powerless, inactive, merciless and like a stone in a well. That is not who He is, though I understand why waiting can make Him feel distant. The Lord is long suffering and full of providential care. He does not delay because He cannot act, but because He is patient, not wanting any to perish but all to come to repentance, and because He works for our eternal good and not only our immediate relief. His slowness as it seems to us is mercy, both toward those who have wronged you and toward you, that your faith may be refined and made stronger. He hears every prayer. He is not deaf to the honest and partial to the dishonest. The psalmist and the prophets often asked the same question, why do the wicked seem to prosper, and the answer is that God sees the end from the beginning, He will judge with perfect justice, and He will not abandon those who fear Him.

It is also not true that believing the Bible spoils a life, or that no one can follow it, or that hard work and responsibility are opposed to trusting God. God commands diligence, duty and faithful work, and He also commands trust. The two belong together. To work hard with your hands and to pray with your heart are not contrary. And concerning Israel, God has not cast away His people. Their stumbling does not prove the Bible false, it proves its truthfulness, for the prophets foretold both their unbelief and that God would still keep His promises in Christ, who is the Messiah.

You ask what is God's time and God's will and how to know them. God's time is not our hurried time. His time is perfect because He knows what we do not know, what is best for our holiness and joy, and what will bring Him glory. We know His will first through His Word. His will is that we be holy, that we follow peace with all people, that we live chastely and faithfully, that we pray continually and do every good work as we are able. Beyond that, His specific guidance for a job or a marriage is known through Scripture, through prayer, through wise counsel from mature believers, through open and closed doors of providence, and through a conscience at peace before Him. Waiting on Him does not mean doing nothing. It means doing the next faithful thing today while trusting Him for tomorrow.

Concerning marriage, your desire is right and good. Marriage is a bond ordained by God, honorable and pure, not impure. It is not holiness itself, but it preserves holiness when a man and woman live faithfully within it, forsaking all others and keeping themselves only for one another. That is why your prayer for a husband with good habits and no bad habits, a man spiritually sound who walks according to the Bible, is a godly prayer. I will pray with you for that, that God would provide a faithful believing husband, one man and one woman joined in a lifelong covenant, and that the marriage would be done in chasteness, gravity and order, adorned not with excess but with reverence. Use this time of waiting not only to look for a husband, but to become the kind of faithful, prayerful, diligent woman Scripture describes, like Anna who persevered in prayer and good works. Marriage brings much occupation and responsibility, and God prepares us in waiting.

Your concern about age, childbearing, and the words of relatives and friends is understandable. The pressure is real and can feel like torture. Yet your worth and your future family are not measured by the opinions of others. Whether God gives children early or late, or even if He gives a different path, a life lived with Christ is never wasted and never without fruit. Children are a gift from Him, and He knows the body and the years He has given you. Bring that fear to Him daily.

For your other requests, I join you in prayer:

For you to receive suitable work as a homoeopathy physician, whether a permanent post in government or public sector or a temporary provision until then, that God would open the right door according to your training and enable you to show His mercy to your patients. And for your family member to also receive permanent work according to his qualifications, that he may provide and glorify God, we ask for God's provision and favor.

For your family's good health, that God would keep you in body and soul.

For the painful matter of the house lease, where you entrusted a large amount and have not received the house nor the full return, and now carry a loan with growing interest. God sees all dishonesty. He is not inactive toward fraud and lies, though His patience may seem long. It is right to pray for justice and for the return of what is owed, and to take lawful and orderly steps to seek it. It is also right to pray for those who have cheated you, that God would convict them, bring them to repentance and to turn to Christ, and that they would cease to harm others. We leave punishment in God's hands, for He will repay with perfect righteousness, and we do not seek revenge for its own sake.

For your desire to buy a house and run a clinic to show God's glory, and to help provide education and employment for poor people, and for your desire to study for an MD or PhD in a good government college with safe surroundings and faithful teachers, we ask God to guide your steps, to grant merit and opportunity as He wills, and to use your learning for the good of others.

Do not think that God favors the wicked and abandons the honest. The honest may suffer for a time, but they are never forsaken, and their labor in the Lord is not in vain. Keep praying, keep working faithfully, keep walking in purity and honesty, and keep gathering with God's people for encouragement. If you have not already, seek the counsel of a trusted pastor near you who can know you personally, pray with you regularly, and help you discern next steps for work, marriage and the legal matter.

Let us pray together now.

Father in heaven, we come to You only through Jesus Christ Your Son, who died and rose for our salvation. Have mercy on this daughter and on her family. You know her tears, her years of waiting, her longing for marriage and for meaningful work, and the weight of being wronged. Forgive where doubt has spoken harshly about Your character, and strengthen her faith to see that You are powerful, active, merciful and gracious. Grant her and her family member suitable work according to their training, whether permanent or temporary as You provide. Provide for their health and daily needs. Lead her to a godly husband, a faithful man of good habits who will love You and live chastely within the covenant of marriage, and grant that this may be in Your good timing. Move upon those who have taken what is not theirs to return it and to repent, and grant justice with mercy. Guide her studies and her hopes to serve the poor and to run a clinic for Your glory, if it be Your will. Teach her to know Your will through Your Word, through prayer, and through wise counsel, and give her peace while she waits. Keep her from despair and from the pressure of others, and let her hope be anchored in Christ. In the name of Jesus we ask, Amen.
