Erecheas, we understand your desire to pursue a new career as a wedding photographer and we are here to pray and counsel with you. We appreciate your faith in God's provision, as reflected in your reference to Genesis 22:14, where God provides for Abraham and says, "Yahweh Will Provide". However, we want to address a few things in your request.
Firstly, we notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" There is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 tells us, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved."
We must also address the phrase "with the blood of Jesus." This is a powerful statement, but we want to ensure you understand its full meaning. The blood of Jesus was shed for the forgiveness of our sins and to establish the new covenant. Hebrews 9:22 tells us, "Yes, nearly everything is cleansed with blood, according to the law, for there is no remission without the shedding of blood." This means that it is only by the blood of Jesus that our sins are forgiven and we are brought back into a right relationship with God.
Regarding your career, we want to remind you that God's will should always be our top priority. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." We pray that God's will be done in your life and that He guides your steps in your career.
We also want to address the topic of wedding photography. As you pursue this career, remember to uphold biblical principles in your work. This includes promoting and supporting marriages that align with biblical principles, as marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Erecheas to You. We pray for Your will to be done in their life and for Your guidance as they pursue a new career. We ask that You provide for them as You promised in Your word, and that You remove any obstacles that may be hindering their progress. We pray that Erecheas trusts in You with all their heart and acknowledges You in all their ways. We also pray that You give Erecheas opportunities to honor You through their work as a wedding photographer.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
