We hear your cry after three and a half years of frustration and waiting for this transfer from your current place to the place where you desire to be, and we join with you in bringing this burden before the Lord. We know how wearying it is to wait when an answer seems delayed, but we are reminded that God sees your situation and His timing is perfect even when we do not understand it. We encourage you to trust Him with this desire while continuing to serve faithfully where He has placed you for now. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men Colossians 3:23. A man's heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps Proverbs 16:9. For we know His thoughts toward us are good, 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 Jeremiah 29:11. We encourage you to commit your way to Him and rest in His leading. 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 Proverbs 3:5-6. Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him Psalm 37:7. Those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint Isaiah 40:31. 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 Philippians 4:6-7.
We also noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, and we want to lovingly share that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. If you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved Romans 10:9. It is because of His sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection that we can boldly bring our requests to God and know that He hears us when we pray in Jesus name.
We now pray together for you. Father in heaven, we lift up our dear one to You in the name of Jesus Christ. You know the frustration and weariness of these three and a half years and the deep desire for this transfer. We ask that if it is Your will, You would open the doors that no man can shut and grant this transfer according to Your perfect timing and purpose. If it is not Your will, we ask that You would make that clear and give peace and contentment to serve faithfully where You have planted this life for now. Guard this heart from discouragement and fill it with Your peace that surpasses understanding. Help our friend to continue to work with diligence and integrity as unto You, to seek Your wisdom in every step of the process, and to trust that You are working all things together for good for those who love You Romans 8:28. We ask all of this in the mighty and saving name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and only hope. Amen.
