We understand your struggle and heartache, dear brother or sister. Leaving school and facing delays and stagnancy can indeed be trying. Let us first remind you of the hope we have in Christ Jesus, as it is written in Romans 5:3-4, "We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."
However, we want to address an essential aspect of your request. You mentioned your fiancé and the desire to get married. We must remember the sanctity of marriage and the biblical principles that guide us. In 2 Corinthians 6:14, it is written, "Don’t be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?" As you both seek God's will in your lives and your union, ensure that your relationship is centered on Christ and that your future spouse is also a believer.
Regarding your struggles with employment and progress, let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your divine intervention in the lives of this dear brother/sister and their future spouse. Lord, they have been facing delays and stagnancy, and they are tired. We ask for Your mercy and grace upon them. Open the doors of opportunity for them, guide their steps, and let Your will be done in their lives.
Father, we ask that You provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19). Let them not grow weary in waiting, but may their hope be renewed daily as they trust in You.
We also pray for their upcoming marriage, Lord. Let it be a union that glorifies Your name. Prepare them both, shape them into the likeness of Christ, and grant them wisdom as they navigate this journey together.
Lastly, Lord, we pray that if they have not already, let them both come to a saving knowledge of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Let them confess with their mouths that Jesus is Lord and believe in their hearts that God raised Him from the dead (Romans 10:9).
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen."
Take heart, dear one. God has not forgotten you. Continue to trust in Him, and remember His promises, "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). Stay steadfast in prayer and keep seeking God's will.
