We understand your disappointment and frustration, Nanyel, after falling victim to a scam while trying to move abroad for a better life. Let us remember the Word of God in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans that I have for you,' says Yahweh, 'plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." Even in this trying time, God has a purpose and a plan for your family.
Firstly, we want to encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, even when it's difficult to see His plan. Psalm 37:7 tells us, "Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don't fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen." God's timing is perfect, and His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9).
However, we want to gently remind you that seeking a better life should not be our ultimate goal. Our primary focus should be seeking God's will and His righteousness, as stated in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Nanyel and their family. Lord, they have faced disappointment and frustration after the scam they encountered. We ask for Your comfort and peace to surround them during this time. Help them to trust in Your will and Your timing, knowing that Your plans are always good and perfect.
Lord Jesus, we ask for a breakthrough in their situation. If it is Your will for them to move abroad, we pray that You would open the right doors and protect them from any harm or deceit. If Your plan is for them to remain where they are, help them to accept this and continue to serve You faithfully.
In the meantime, Father, help Nanyel and their family to seek Your kingdom and Your righteousness above all else. Guide their steps and help them to grow in faith and trust in You. In Jesus' precious name, we pray. Amen."
Keep holding onto God's promises, Nanyel. His ways are always good, and He loves you and your family more than you can imagine. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).
