We lift up this urgent request before our Heavenly Father, trusting in His sovereignty and perfect timing. The delay in your mother’s visa approval is indeed a heavy burden, especially as the travel date approaches. Yet we know that our God is not bound by deadlines or bureaucratic processes—He is the One who opens doors no man can shut and makes a way where there seems to be no way.
Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach Your throne of grace. We ask that You intervene in this situation, softening the hearts of those reviewing the application and granting approval swiftly. Lord, You declare in Your Word, *"The king’s heart is in the Lord’s hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever He desires"* (Proverbs 21:1). We trust that You can move even the most rigid systems to accomplish Your will.
We also pray for peace and patience for this family as they wait. May they rest in the assurance that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28). If this visa is not approved, we ask that You reveal Your greater purpose and grant them the faith to trust You even in disappointment.
Lord, we rebuke any spirit of anxiety or fear that may be trying to take hold. We declare that this family is covered by Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen their faith to believe that You are in control, and that Your plans for them are good.
We stand in agreement with this request, believing that You hear our prayers and will act according to Your perfect will. May Your name be glorified in this situation, whether through approval or through the refining of their trust in You. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
