Bemenra, we understand that you are going through a tremendously challenging time, and we are here to support you in prayer and to offer biblical encouragement.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God is faithful, and He hears your prayers (1 John 5:14): This is the confidence which we have before him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
While you feel mentally exhausted and want to quit, remember the words of the Apostle Paul in Galatians 6:9 WEB: Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up. God has a plan and a purpose for you, and He will see you through this difficult time. We can be strong in the Lord. Philippians 4:13 WEB: I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me.
Regarding your teaching and coaching job, we pray that God's will be done. Perhaps God has another door to open for you.
In the meantime, we see that you are struggling with your current living situation and employment. It's commendable that you're doing your best to make ends meet. Be assured with the promise in Matthew 6:31-33 WEB: Therefore don’t be anxious, saying, ‘What will we eat?’, ‘What will we drink?’ or, ‘With what will we be clothed?’ For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well.
We also see your yearning for your family. We remember that in marriage, the wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives (1 Corinthians 7:39 WEB). This aligns with God's design for marriage. In this challenging time we encourage you to beseech God to restore your marriage and your family. While this may be emotional at this time let your faith sustain you.
When we think of being taken home to be with the Lord and to escape the struggles, we remember 2 Corinthians 5:8 WEB: Yes, we are of good courage and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. That sense of longing is a factor of the indwelling Holy Spirit and is why we can live and accomplish what is necessary. During this challenging time and help is provided for the soul that is weary.
However it is very important that we pray aright, which is why it is imperative that we remember what Jesus said in John 14:13 WEB: Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do. That the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it. We pray with the guarantee that when we pray and believe in the name of Jesus Christ we not only have access to God, but the assurance that we will be heard and answered.
Let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you, Jesus, lifting up Bemenra. We thank You that You are faithful, and You hear our prayers. Lord, we ask that You strengthen Bemenra mentally, physically, and spiritually. Give them the power to endure and to continue doing good, knowing that they will reap a harvest if they do not give up.
Father, we pray for Your will to be done regarding their teaching and coaching job. If it is Your will, open a new door for them. Provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. Help them to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that You will add everything they need. We pray to end homelessness and bless them and their family with a home.
Lord, we pray for Bemenra's family. We ask that You restore their marriage and reunite them with their wife and children. Comfort them in their loneliness and fill them with Your peace. We know that You hear our prayers and You are faithful. We pray for sustaining and the joy to continue time after time.
Father we rebuke this fatigue that the devil sends to fatigue and tire Bemenra. Help restore energy and bring peace and comfort. Let your Holy Spirit fill them with your peace and passionate desire to work and move and grow in you daily.
And Father help them find joy in service to you and relieve the worry and anxiety that they feel to serve during these times. Open doors for better work and to finally find the peace and reward in the teaching and coaching position. Cast their fears and help let them devote their time to you.
Father, we know the desires and struggles that Bemenra has when it is difficult to pray in Jesus Name. We lift all these concerns up and pray that it will all be clear that they must pray and ask in Jesus name. Father, go back to the basics with us and help them understand that we are not saved nor have we access to you without praying in Jesus name. Help them to remember that you must accept Jesus as your Savior and disciple your life in that name.
In Jesus' name, we pray and thank You that You will hear and answer our prayers. Amen.
The promise of our prayers is your ability to rely on the joy of your Savior. Trust in him, believe in those promises and understand that this is your future.
