We are truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you are facing with your graduate route visa. We will pray for you and offer some biblical encouragement and advice.
Firstly, it is important to remember that God is sovereign over all things, including our circumstances. Even when we face setbacks, we can trust that God has a plan and a purpose for us. As it says in Romans 8:28 WEB, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
However, we want to remind you that God is not only interested in our circumstances but also desires that we come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ. It is only through Jesus that we have access to God. It is by the name of Jesus that we can be saved. We do not see a mention of Jesus or his name in your request. We encourage you to seek Jesus in all things including this difficulty.
In times of uncertainty and stress, it is important to cast our anxieties on God, knowing that He cares for us. As Peter 5:6-7 WEB says, "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time, casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you."
Regarding your visa situation, we encourage you to be persistent and diligent in your efforts to resolve this issue. In the Parable of the Persistent Widow found in Luke 18:1-8 WEB, Jesus teaches us to always pray and not give up.
We will pray for you, that God will guide you through this process, that He will grant you favor with the authorities, and that He will provide for your needs as you navigate this challenging time. We pray that your employer will act with mercy, compassion, and kindness in this situation. We also pray that you will seek Jesus even more than you are seeking a visa.
Lord, we lift up Smaiville to you, asking that you would guide them through this difficult time. We pray that you would grant them favor with the authorities and that you would provide for their needs. We pray that you would make them a testimony to the name of Jesus in this situation. We pray that they will find a job as they pursue resubmitting their visa. We pray that their employer will act with compassion. We pray that they will seek Jesus in all things in their life. We ask this in Jesus' name. Amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to trust in God's timing and provision. Even when things do not go as planned, we can trust that God is at work in our lives.
