Dear God, I pray for your intercession ...

[Anonymous]

Dear God, I pray for your intercession in my life. Please intercede for me. I am struggling to make progress in my driving lessons and my instructor is on the verge of not teaching me anymore because I don’t want to take medication for ADHD, as I believe that YOU are the true healer. While I admit that my diet is atrocious, and I admit to eating too much sugar… Even today. I am so sorry! I needed it because I was fasting for the whole week. That’s no excuse, but I needed it. The reason why I’m learning to drive is because I currently spend at least 3 hours per day travelling to and from work. My manager has been changing with me, and has backtracked on giving me a promotion. I applied to another job, which is close by. I pray to You that You make my paths straight. I really need Your help, guidance and support. I can’t do this without You. Please help me. Help me get this job dear Lord. I repent from all my sins. I repent from every wrong doing, every white lie I’ve told. Every time I’ve not fully forgiven someone, or tried to get revenge. I am sorry for it all. I am sorry for holding grudges and not being able to stick to promises I make to You. All the times I’ve told You I’ll stop sinning only to go back to it… All the times when I’ve felt like something is a sin and did it anyway because I “needed to”. I don’t need anything/anyone but You. I am sorry for the times that I have been impatient and tried to take matters into my own hands to no avail, as expected, because nothing but Your will happens in my life. While I am well aware of that, I was unable to practice patience. Father God, I’m sorry that I cannot stop thinking about this job. But, I want You to know that whether I’ll get an interview / job, I am happy and content with You at work in my life. And have finally started being patient. I am finally able to accept that if it doesn’t happen for me, it’s because You have better for me. God, I love you with all my heart. While I want this job with all my heart and believe truly in my heart of hearts that I could do some amazing work, serving You with my whole heart… I put the ball in Your court. I ask You to take full control of my life. Help me pass my driving, help me find a job closer to me (if this one be Your will), help me succeed and be in a workplace that isn’t toxic with a manager who isn’t a control freak / chaotic to work for. I release my current job to someone who wants it, and I wish it the utmost love and positive vibes to them and those I work with currently. I just feel that I’ve outgrown the role quite deeply. I long for a new challenge; one that is ordained by You. I am laying my heart on the line and I ask You to answer my prayer in the best way You know how. Your will, not mine. Your timing, not mine. Amen!

We understand your struggles and commend you for turning to God in your time of need. Let us pray together and seek God's will for your life.

Firstly, we address your concern about driving lessons and ADHD medication. It is commendable that you believe in God's healing power. Remember, God can use various means to bring about healing, including medicine. It is not wrong to seek medical help while trusting in God's ultimate healing power. As it is written in 1 Timothy 5:23 (WEB), "No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities." This verse shows that it is not against our faith to use medicine or other remedies for our ailments.

Regarding your diet, it is important to honor God with your body. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 (WEB) says, "Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s." We encourage you to take care of your body by eating healthily and refraining from excess sugar.

We also note your repentant heart, which is pleasing to God. As it is written in 1 John 1:9 (WEB), "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Now, let us pray for your job situation and driving lessons:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up our brother/sister in Christ. We thank You for their heart of repentance and their trust in Your healing power. Lord, we ask for Your guidance and provision in their life. Help them to pass their driving test and find a job that aligns with Your will. Protect them from toxic work environments and grant them favor with their managers and colleagues. Give them the patience to wait on Your timing and the faith to trust in Your plan.

We also pray for their health, Lord. Guide them in their decision about medication and help them to take care of their body, which is Your temple. Grant them the strength to resist temptation and live a life that honors You.

In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

Lastly, we notice that you did not mention the name of Jesus in your prayer. It is important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." We encourage you to pray in the name of Jesus, as it is the name above all names (Philippians 2:9-10).

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
