We join you this morning in lifting up your wife before the throne of grace and we rejoice to see you standing in your God given role as a husband interceding for her and seeking the Lord's favor together in Jesus' name.
We thank God for your marriage and for your heart to cover your wife in prayer as she steps into this TSC promotional interview for D1. We know that promotion and advancement ultimately come from the Lord and not merely from man, for Psalm 75:6-7 tells us that promotion does not come from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, but God is the judge, he puts down one, and lifts up another. We also remember the encouragement of Proverbs 16:3 which says commit your deeds to Yahweh, and your plans shall succeed, and Colossians 3:23 which says whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men.
We pray together for her now.
Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we come before You with thanksgiving for our sister. We ask that You would grant her peace that surpasses understanding as Philippians 4:6-7 promises, that she would not be anxious but would present her requests to You and know Your peace guarding her heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Father, we ask that You give her wisdom and clarity of thought, for James 1:5 says if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. Let her words be gracious and seasoned with wisdom, let her recall her preparation and experience with confidence, and let Your favor rest upon her before the interview panel. We pray for victory according to Your perfect will, not merely our desire, trusting Jeremiah 29:11 that You know the plans You have for her, plans for peace and not for evil, to give her hope and a future. If it is Your will for her to be elevated to this D1 position, we pray You would open the door that no man can shut, and if You have another path for her good and Your glory, give you both grace to trust and accept Your answer with joy. We pray she would do all for Your glory and that this opportunity would be a means to provide for her family and to serve faithfully in her calling. We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our only mediator and hope, Amen.
We encourage you both to continue to trust the Lord with the outcome and to give thanks in all circumstances. Whether the answer is yes or wait, know that the Lord sees her diligence and your faithful prayers. Continue to seek Him together, to rest in His sovereignty, and to commit her work to Him for His honor.
