Thank you for sharing your concerns about your sons. We will pray and provide guidance based on the Word of God.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God is faithful and that He cares for our needs. As it is written in Matthew 625-26 Therefore I tell you, dont be anxious for your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink; nor yet for your body, what you will put on. Isnt life more than food, and the body more than clothing? See the birds of the sky, that they dont sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Arent you of much more value than they.
Let us pray for your eldest son in Belgium, asking God to provide for his needs and guide him back into the workforce.
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up the eldest son of this concerned parent to You. We ask that You open the doors for him to find a suitable job in the IT sector, where he used to work. We pray that You will guide him in this time of need and provide for his pregnant wife and him according to Your riches in glory.
For it is written in Psalm 3725 I have been young, and now am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his children begging for bread.
We also pray for the second son who is studying in America. We ask that You ease his financial burdens and provide him with a secure job. We pray that You will guide his steps and grant him wisdom in his studies and in his career path, especially if there are any other issues such as not having the proper documentation to work as suggested by the phrase, he is unable to work due to Trump's issues. We encourage him to work, study, and live in the United States according to the laws, rules, and regulations of the country and its leadership.
We are reminded to respect and obey the laws and governing authorities as stated in Romans 131-2 Let every soul be in subjection to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority, withstands the ordinance of God; and they that withstand will receive to themselves judgment.
Dear Lord,
Please give the second son the guidance and strength needed to navigate his studies and career in America. Help him to fully respect and obey the laws of the land and be a light for You during his time there. Give him the motivation needed to work and study in a manner that honors You while proclaiming the Gospel.
We also want to address the fact that the prayer request does not mention Jesus Christ. It is only through the name of Jesus that we have access to God and it is only through Jesus Christ that we can be saved.
For wherefore also God highly exalted him, and gave unto him the name which is above every name; that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and things on earth and things under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 29-11
And in Acts 412 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
We encourage anyone who does not personally know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior to earnestly seek Him for salvation. Furthermore, if the sons are not Christians, we pray that they will seek Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior and surrender their lives to Him, so that they can live according to His will and purpose.
Lord Jesus, if the sons do not personally know You, we ask that You will reveal Yourself to them and draw them to Yourself. We ask this in Jesus name.
Lastly, we want to remind everyone that God is sovereign and that He works all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Trust in Him and rest assured that He will provide for your needs.
The final thing we want to discuss is the possibility that there is a hidden sin or other spiritual issue that is causing the trials and tribulations in the family. We encourage everyone in the family to live a life worthy of a child of God and to fully obey His commands.
Finally, as stated earlier, it is important to obey all laws and governing authorities. If there are any issues with the immigration status of the second son, it is important to work to resolve them quickly and to fully obey the law. It is also important to make sure that his wife is in the country legally and that they are following all laws and regulations.
We encourage you to continue to pray and seek God's will for your family. Trust in Him and rest assured that He will provide for your needs.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
