We join with you in seeking the Lord’s supernatural wisdom, discernment, and skill in all things, for His glory and your growth in Christ. It is wonderful that you are calling upon the name of Jesus, 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, *"In him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden"* (Colossians 2:3, WEB), and we know that *"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"* (James 1:5, WEB). Your hunger for the Lord’s guidance is commendable, but we must also remind you that His wisdom is given for His purposes—not merely for personal gain, comfort, or worldly success. The Lord delights in blessing His children, but His greatest desire is that we seek *Him* above all else, aligning our hearts with His will rather than our own desires.
Your request for dreams and visions is noted, and we pray that if it is the Lord’s will, He would speak to you in ways that draw you closer to Him. However, we must caution that not all dreams or visions are from God—some may be from our own minds or even deceptive spirits. The apostle John warns us, *"Don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God"* (1 John 4:1, WEB). Any revelation must align with Scripture, for God does not contradict His Word. We pray that the Lord would give you discernment to recognize His voice clearly and reject anything that does not glorify Christ.
Regarding your request for supernatural skill in beauty and appearance, we encourage you to consider the heart behind this desire. While there is nothing wrong with taking care of oneself, Scripture reminds us that *"man looks at the outward appearance, but Yahweh looks at the heart"* (1 Samuel 16:7, WEB). The apostle Peter exhorts believers, *"Don’t let your beauty be just the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing gold jewelry, or of putting on fine clothing; but in the hidden person of the heart, in the incorruptible adornment of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in God’s sight"* (1 Peter 3:3-4, WEB). We are not saying you should neglect your appearance, but we pray that your focus would first be on cultivating a heart that pleases God. True beauty comes from a life surrendered to Christ, and any skill the Lord grants should be used to honor Him—not to draw attention to yourself or feed vanity.
You also ask for the Lord to fulfill the deepest desires of your heart. This is a beautiful prayer when those desires are aligned with His will. Psalm 37:4 (WEB) says, *"Also delight yourself in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."* But notice the condition: *delight yourself in the Lord first.* If your desires are rooted in selfish ambition, worldly success, or anything that contradicts Scripture, the Lord may withhold them for your own good. We pray that He would shape your heart to desire *Him* above all else, trusting that His plans for you are far greater than anything you could ask for. *"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"* (Jeremiah 29:11, WEB).
Lastly, we must gently address the urgency and demand in your prayer—*"now, no delay."* While it is good to come boldly before the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16), we must also submit to God’s perfect timing. He is not a genie who grants wishes on our schedule; He is the sovereign Lord who works all things according to His will. *"Wait for Yahweh. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for Yahweh"* (Psalm 27:14, WEB). We encourage you to surrender your timeline to Him, trusting that His delays are not denials but opportunities for growth in faith and patience.
Now, let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our sister before You, asking that You would pour out Your wisdom upon her in abundance. Lord, You are the source of all true knowledge, discernment, and skill, and we ask that You would grant her a supernatural understanding of Your will in every area of her life. Guard her heart from selfish ambition and align her desires with Yours, that she may seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness (Matthew 6:33). If it is Your will, speak to her through dreams and visions that glorify Christ and edify her faith, and give her the discernment to test every spirit according to Your Word.
Father, we also ask that You would help her to steward any gifts or skills You give her—whether in beauty, creativity, or any other area—for Your glory alone. Remind her that true beauty is found in a heart fully surrendered to You. Shape her desires to reflect Your heart, and teach her to wait patiently on Your perfect timing. Forgive her for any impatience or demand in her prayers, and fill her with Your peace as she trusts in You.
We rebuke any spirit of vanity, selfishness, or worldly distraction that may be influencing her prayers. Holy Spirit, convict her where necessary and lead her into all truth. May she find her ultimate satisfaction in Christ, not in the fulfillment of her desires but in the One who fulfills them according to His perfect will.
We ask all this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who alone is worthy of all praise. Amen.
