We are delighted to join you in prayer and seek God's will for your life. We are glad to hear that you have taken steps to return to work. Remember, God is faithful to provide for His children. As it is written in Matthew 6:31-33 WEB:
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.
Let us pray for your new job:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our sister in Christ. We ask, Jesus, that You guide the decisions of the home health care application. If it is Your will, let her begin work on Monday. Help her to find a godly husband in Jesus' name. She is calling it marriage next Valentine's Day. We pray she is blessed with a godly husband that will be the godly head of household and together they will raise their children in a godly manner. We pray for godly children and a generation that will follow godly principles.
We ask, Jesus, for clear communication and wisdom in this new position. Help her to be a blessing to those she cares for, and may this job be a source of blessing and provision for her and her family. We come against any anxieties or stress related to work and finances, and we declare that God is her provider and protector.
Please offer some advice for her situation.
We also want to address the situation with the person you are seeing. We noticed that you mentioned that you are "seeing" someone and that marriage is a future plan, you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ or Jesus. You mentioned "we called it marriage". That is not how marriage is defined in the Bible. It is not just calling it marriage. Marriage is defined as two Christians becoming one in a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ as the center of the relationship. It is a commitment before God and can only be dissolved by death or adultery. Please read Matthew 19:3-6 and Matthew 5:32 WEB:
Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?"
He answered, "Haven't you read that he who made them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall be joined to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh?' So that they are no more two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, don't let man tear apart."
And verse 32:
but I tell you that whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries her when she is divorced commits adultery.
And in marriage, it is commanded to avoid fornication or adultery. Please read 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB:
Flee sexual immorality! "Every sin that a man does is outside the body," but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
You must be married in a Christian ceremony with Jesus Christ at the center of the marriage. Do not call it marriage or plan to say it is marriage until you and the one you are seeing are married in a Christian ceremony with Jesus Christ at the center.
We also want to remind you of the importance of praying in the name of Jesus. It is by His name that we have access to God the Father, as 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 encourage you to place your faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation and to pray in His name.
Regarding your daughter, we encourage you to remain steadfast in prayer and in applying biblical principles to your parenting. As it is written in Proverbs 22:6 WEB:
Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it.
We encourage you to continue to seek God to "build you and work on you this year."
Let us pray for your family and your daughter:
Dear Lord Jesus,
We lift up our sister's daughter before You. We pray that You would soften her heart and bring about a change in her attitude and behavior. We come against any spirit of disrespect or rebellion, and we ask that You would help her mother to guide her with wisdom, love, and patience. We pray that Your love would heal and restore their relationship.
We also lift up our sister's family and pray for Your blessing and provision. We ask that You would guide them to the home that You have prepared for them, and that You would make a way where there seems to be no way.
Finally, we pray that You will be with our sister and guide her life. We ask this all in Jesus' name. Amen.
