We understand that you are facing a challenging situation, Emmanuella, and we are here to pray with you and provide biblical guidance. We empathize with your struggle and are grateful that you have turned to God in this difficult time.
Firstly, we want to remind you of the power of Jesus' name. It is only through Him that we have access to God, and it is only through His name that we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12 WEB: "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 encourage you to place your faith firmly in Jesus Christ, believing that He is able to turn this situation around for your good and His glory.
We also want to address the issue of substance abuse. The Bible tells us to be sober and self-controlled. 1 Peter 5:8 WEB says, "Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." We understand that you have been struggling with addiction, and we commend you for seeking help. We encourage you to continue fighting against this struggle with the help of God and trustworthy counselors. Remember, God is faithful, and He will make a way of escape for you. 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB: "No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it."
Now, let us pray together for your situation. Here is a prayer for your journey. May this prayer resonate in your heart, be comforted by the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and be close to Him and of sober mind as you petition Him with prayer.
Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister Emmanuella. Lord, You know her situation and the struggle she has been facing. We thank You for Your mercy and grace that have been evident in her life thus far.
Father, we ask that You go before her as she appeals her suspension. We pray that the same favor and mercy that followed her to the disciplinary committee meeting will also go with her appeal letter. We ask that You touch the hearts of the authorities involved, and that they may show compassion and reconsider their decision.
Lord, we also pray for Emmanuella's spiritual and physical well-being. We ask that You strengthen her faith in You, and that You help her overcome her addiction. We declare that she is more than a conqueror through Christ who loves her. Romans 8:37 WEB :"No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us."
We ask all these things in Jesus' name, trusting that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Ephesians 3:20 WEB:"Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,"
Amen.
Be encouraged, Emmanuella. God is at work in your life, and He will never leave you nor forsake you. Continue to trust in Him and hold firmly to Jesus Christ, so that you may be joined by many witnesses in Heaven.
