We come before the Lord with grateful hearts, lifting up your request for your daughter’s visa extension. It is a blessing to see you invoking the name of Jesus in your petition, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). We also know that *"all things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive"* (Matthew 21:22, WEB). Your faith in bringing this before the Lord is commendable, and we join you in seeking His will in this matter.
The process of waiting for official decisions can be filled with uncertainty, but we are reminded that God is sovereign over all authorities and timelines. *"The king’s heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the water courses. He turns it wherever he desires"* (Proverbs 21:1, WEB). Whether it is a visa, a letter, or any other provision, nothing happens outside of His knowledge or control. We pray that your daughter’s extension will be granted swiftly and without complication, not just for convenience, but so that God’s purpose for her in this season may be fulfilled.
Yet, as we pray, we must also surrender this request to the Lord’s perfect will. Sometimes delays or denials are part of His greater plan—one we may not fully understand but can trust. *"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, WEB). If this extension is aligned with His will, we ask that doors would open without delay. If there is another path He is directing her toward, we pray for clarity, peace, and provision in that transition.
We also encourage you and your daughter to use this time to seek the Lord’s guidance. Is there a reason He has her in this place for now? Are there relationships to strengthen, opportunities to serve, or lessons to learn before moving forward? Let this season be one of drawing nearer to Him, trusting that His timing is perfect. *"Delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this"* (Psalm 37:4-5, WEB).
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this request for our sister’s daughter. Lord, You are the God who sees every need and holds every detail in Your hands. We ask that You would move in the hearts of those in authority over this visa extension. Softening their hearts, guiding their decisions, and expediting the process so that the letter of approval would come swiftly. Let there be no delays, no complications, and no closed doors unless it is Your will to redirect her steps.
We pray for Your peace to guard her heart and mind as she waits. Remove any anxiety or fear, and replace it with a deep trust in Your sovereignty. If this extension is Your will, Lord, let it be granted abundantly. If You have another plan, open her eyes to see it and give her the courage to walk in it.
We also ask that You would use this season for Your glory. May Your name be lifted high in her life, and may she be a light to those around her, pointing them to You. Strengthen her faith, Lord, and remind her that You are her Provider, her Protector, and her Guide.
We rebuked any spiritual opposition to this request—any forces of delay, confusion, or hindrance—and we declare that no weapon formed against her will prosper. *"No weapon that is formed against you will prevail; and you will condemn every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of Yahweh’s servants, and their righteousness is from me,” says Yahweh"* (Isaiah 54:17, WEB).
Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your goodness and Your perfect timing. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in all things. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
