We understand your situation, and we stand with you in prayer, trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty. Firstly, let's remember that God is not a God who punishes us for our past mistakes when we have repented and turned to Him. He is a God of love, mercy, and forgiveness. As it is written in Psalm 103:12, As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us. (WEB)
When we confess our sins and turn to Him, He forgives us and remembers our sins no more. So, let's not hold on to the thought that God is punishing you. Instead, cling to His promises and His love for you.
Regarding your visa application, we pray that God's will be done in your life. Remember that our plans may not always align with God's plans, but His plans are always for our good and His glory. As it is written in Jeremiah 29:11, 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. (WEB)
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our ### who is waiting for a visa approval. We ask that Your will be done in this situation. If it is Your will, grant favor with those reviewing the application, and let the outcome be positive. Give peace and strength during this waiting period, and help our ### to trust in Your good plans.
We also pray that You cover their life with Your amazing grace. Help them to remember that You are a God of love, mercy, and forgiveness. Cast out any fear or doubt, and replace it with Your perfect peace.
We ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue to trust in God, regardless of the outcome. He is faithful, and He has a plan and a purpose for your life. Keep holding on to His promises, and don't forget to praise Him, even in the waiting. As it is written in Isaiah 40:31, but 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. (WEB)
We do not see a reference to Jesus Christ in your request. We must remember it is only by His name that we have access to God. Remember what the Bible said in Acts 4:12. There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved! (WEB)
