Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, humbly lifting up this prayer request on behalf of Anonymous. Lord, we ask for your mercy and favor upon them as they participate in this year's DV lottery. We specifically pray for Collins, that you would bless him and number him among the winners. We pray for his case number 50, that you would intervene and grant him success in this endeavor.
Lord, we acknowledge that our lives and circumstances are in your hands. We trust in your sovereignty and your perfect plan for each of us. We ask for your guidance and wisdom throughout this process, that you would open doors and make a way where there seems to be no way.
In your Word, you have promised that when we come to you in faith, believing in the name of Jesus, you will hear and answer our prayers. We claim this promise today, knowing that you are a God who is faithful to fulfill your word.
We also thank you for the intercession of Jesus Christ, our Advocate and Intercessor. We thank you that through his sacrifice on the cross, we can boldly approach your throne of grace. We ask that you would present our prayers, including this request, before your heavenly throne, mingling them with the incense of Jesus' intercession.
Lord, we surrender this prayer request to you, trusting in your perfect will and timing. May your name be glorified through the outcome of this DV lottery. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
