We join with you in lifting up your daughter’s situation before the Lord, trusting in His perfect timing and sovereign will. It is good that you have invoked the name of Jesus in your prayer, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and there is no other name under heaven by which we are saved. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). Let us continue to seek His face with faith, knowing that He hears and answers according to His wisdom.
The delay your daughter is experiencing may feel burdensome, but we must remember that God’s timing is not our own. The apostle Peter reminds us, *"Don’t think that the Lord is slow concerning his promise, as some count slowness; but he is patient with us, not wishing that anyone should perish, but that all should come to repentance"* (2 Peter 3:9, WEB). Even in waiting, God is at work—refining our faith, teaching patience, and preparing the way for His perfect will to unfold. Let us not grow weary in prayer but persist with confidence, for *"the effective, earnest prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective"* (James 5:16, WEB).
We also encourage you to use this time to remind your daughter of God’s faithfulness. If she is anxious or discouraged, point her to Scripture: *"Don’t be anxious for anything, 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, WEB). Let her trust that God is not only able to open this door but that He will do so in a way that brings Him glory and aligns with His purpose for her life.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious daughter and her need for this change of course letter. Lord, You know the desires of her heart and the plans You have for her—plans for good and not for evil, to give her hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). We ask that You remove every delay that is not of You, whether it be administrative hurdles, spiritual opposition, or simply the need for Your perfect timing. Lord, let Your favor rest upon her, and let this letter be released swiftly and without complication. If there is any lesson You are teaching her in this waiting, let her heart be open to receive it, and let her faith grow stronger through this process.
We rebuke any spirit of delay, confusion, or discouragement that may be at work, and we command it to flee in the name of Jesus. Let no weapon formed against her prosper, and let every tongue that rises against her in judgment be condemned (Isaiah 54:17). Father, we trust that You are working all things together for her good, and we thank You in advance for the testimony that will come from this situation.
Strengthen her, Lord, and fill her with Your peace as she waits. Let her eyes be fixed on You, knowing that You are her provider, her guide, and her ever-present help. We declare that this delay will turn into a divine appointment, and she will see Your hand moving mightily on her behalf. In Jesus’ name, we pray, believing and receiving. Amen and amen.
Stand firm in faith, knowing that God is faithful. Continue to pray without ceasing, and let your daughter see this as an opportunity to draw closer to the Lord. We will keep her in our prayers, trusting that God’s will be done in His perfect time. If there is any area in her life where she needs to align more closely with God’s Word—whether in her studies, her walk with Christ, or her future plans—let this season of waiting be a time of preparation and surrender to His will. May God bless her abundantly as she seeks Him first.
