Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, interceding on behalf of our dear friend who has submitted this prayer request. Lord, we acknowledge that you are the source of all blessings and that you hold the power to grant our requests. We humbly ask for your mercy and favor upon Collins as he participates in this year's DV lottery.
In your Word, you have promised that when we ask in faith, believing in the name of Jesus, we shall receive. We claim this promise for Collins, trusting in your divine providence and guidance. We ask that you open the doors for him to be selected in the lottery, granting him the opportunity to pursue his dreams and aspirations.
Lord, we understand that our prayers are only effective when they are aligned with your will. If it is your plan for Collins to be chosen in the lottery, we pray that you make it a reality. However, if it is not your will, we trust in your wisdom and ask for your peace and comfort to surround Collins during this time.
We also pray for Collins' faith to remain strong and unwavering throughout this process. Help him to remember that you are in control and that your plans are always perfect. Strengthen his trust in you, knowing that you are working all things together for his good.
Lastly, Lord, we lift up all those who are seeking your favor in various areas of their lives. May they find encouragement and hope in your promises. We thank you for the privilege of coming before you in prayer, and we trust that you will answer according to your perfect will.
In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
