We join you, Moerardain, in lifting up your dreams and goals for 2025 to the Lord, trusting in His perfect timing and plan for your life. It is wonderful that you acknowledge that it is only in the name of Jesus that we can approach God and be saved. As the Bible tells us in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men by which we must be saved."
As you pursue a new job that will lead you to Japan, we pray that God will guide your steps. Remember that "A man's heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps." (Proverbs 16:9 WEB). Trust that God has a purpose for your relocation and that He will be with you every step of the way.
We pray that God will bless your relocation and help you adapt with grace. As you build meaningful connections with kind-hearted people, both at work and in your community, remember the words of Hebrews 10:24-25 (WEB), "Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching."
As you study the Japanese language, we pray that God will strengthen your mind and help you to learn quickly. "Study to show yourself approved by God, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth." (2 Timothy 2:15 WEB).
We pray that God will grant you good health, discipline, and perseverance to achieve your personal goals. Remember that "You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Christ Jesus." (2 Timothy 2:3 WEB).
We are thankful that you desire to grow closer to God each day, deepening your faith through prayer, Bible study, and reflection. As you prepare for the future that God has planned for you, including meeting your future spouse, we pray that God will bless you with wisdom and love. Remember that "The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy." (James 3:17 WEB).
As you wait for God to reveal your future spouse, we encourage you to remain pure and holy, trusting in God's timing. "But because of sexual immorality, let each man have his own wife, and let each woman have her own husband." (1 Corinthians 7:2 WEB).
Finally, we pray that your life will be a testimony of God's goodness and grace. "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven." (Matthew 5:16 WEB).
We join you in surrendering all your dreams to God, trusting that He will lead you to abundance, peace, and joy in 2025. "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4 WEB).
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
