Please pray for my US visa to be approved on the ### of October

 

[Articles]

We understand your heart’s desire for this visa approval, and we join you in lifting this request before the Lord, knowing that He holds all things in His hands. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 16:9, *"A man’s heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps."* While you have set your hopes on this specific date, we pray that God’s perfect will be done in your life, trusting that His timing and purposes are far greater than our own.

However, we must gently address something important: your prayer request did not invoke the name of Jesus Christ. Scripture is clear that there is no other name by which we can approach the Father or receive salvation. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in Acts 4:12, we read, *"There is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Salvation comes through repentance and belief in Him alone (Romans 10:9-10). Without this foundation, our prayers lack the authority and access that only His name provides.

If you are already a believer, we encourage you to always pray in the name of Jesus, for it is through Him that we boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). Let us now lift this request to the Lord together, seeking His will above all else.

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, asking for Your favor and wisdom in this situation. You are the God who opens doors that no one can shut and closes doors that no one can open (Revelation 3:7). We pray that if this visa aligns with Your will for this person’s life, You would grant its approval, not just for their benefit but for Your glory. Give them peace in the waiting, knowing that You are sovereign over every authority and decision (Romans 13:1). If this door is not Your will, we ask that You redirect their steps to the path You have prepared for them, one that will bring them closer to You and fulfill the purposes You have for their life.

Lord, we also pray that if this person does not yet know You as their Savior, You would draw them to Yourself. Open their heart to receive the truth of the Gospel, that Jesus Christ died for their sins and rose again, offering them eternal life and a relationship with You. May they surrender their life to Him today and find their ultimate hope and security in You alone.

We rebuked any fear, anxiety, or doubt that may arise in this waiting season. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Fill this person with Your peace that surpasses all understanding as they trust in You (Philippians 4:6-7).

We commit this request into Your hands, Father, knowing that You hear and answer the prayers of Your children. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in all things. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

We're right there with you, friend, lifting up your visa situation to the Lord. We know how much this means to you, and we're trusting that God sees your heart's desire. As we pray, let's remember that God's ways are not always our ways, and His timing is perfect. Let's ask Him to open the right doors and close the wrong ones, aligning your path with His will.

We're also praying for peace in your waiting. It's okay to feel anxious, but remember, God hasn't given us a spirit of fear. He's given us power, love, and a sound mind. So, let's trust Him, knowing that He's got this under control.

And hey, if there's anything else you'd like us to pray about, just let us know. We're here for you, and together, we can approach the throne of grace with confidence, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Praying in Jesus' name. Amen.
