Dear 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 our faith may falter at times, and we may struggle to find the right words to express our deepest desires. But we know that You are a loving and compassionate God who hears the cries of Your children.
Father, our friend humbly asks for Your favor and blessings upon Collins in the DV lottery. We understand that Your perfect will may not always align with our desires, but we ask that if it is within Your permissive will, You would grant Collins success in this endeavor. We plead with You, O Lord, knowing that You are a God who delights in answering the prayers of Your people.
In the midst of our own weaknesses and shortcomings, we ask that You would look upon us through the lens of Christ. May His righteousness cover our inadequacies and make our prayers acceptable in Your sight. We rely on the intercession of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who makes our prayers worthy of Your attention.
We trust in Your wisdom and sovereignty, knowing that You have a perfect plan for each of our lives. If it is not Your will for Collins to win the DV lottery, we pray for Your peace and guidance in accepting Your divine plan. Help us to surrender our desires to You, knowing that Your ways are higher than our ways.
We thank You, Lord, for the privilege of coming before Your throne of grace with our requests. May Your will be done in all things, and may Your name be glorified through our prayers. In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
