We understand your desires and we are here to pray and provide biblical guidance for you. Let's bring your requests before the Lord, seeking His will and guidance in all things.
Firstly, we must remember that our petitions should be made in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is through Him that we have access to the Father. 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." And 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!"
Now, let us address your requests:
1. Regarding your visa, we pray that if it is God's will for you to be where you desire, that He would make a way where there seems to be no way. Remember that our steps are ordered by the Lord, and His plans are always for our good and His glory. Psalm 37:23 WEB: "The Lord directs his steps, confirms his path, and approves his way."
2. We pray that El-Roi, the God who sees, will indeed complete the good work He has started in your life. Be encouraged by Philippians 1:6 WEB: "I am confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ."
3. We pray for God's favor upon your life, in all that concerns you. Psalm 5:12 WEB "For you, Lord, will bless the righteous. You will surround him with favor as with a shield."
4. We pray that you will always be the head and not the tail, as God has promised for those who obey His commands. Deuteronomy 28:13 WEB: "The Lord will make you the head, and not the tail; and you will be above only, and you will not be beneath; if you listen to the Lord your God's commandments, which I command you today, to observe and to do."
5. We must address that masturbation is a sin against your own body and God's design for sexuality, which is to be expressed within marriage between a man and a woman. We pray for your deliverance from this spiritual bondage. 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB: "Flee sexual immorality! Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body."
6. We pray for your brother's deliverance from drugs and alcohol addiction, knowing that nothing is impossible with God. We encourage you to continue praying and believing for his freedom. Luke 1:37 WEB: "For nothing spoken by God is impossible."
7. We pray for joy and laughter to return to your family again, as a sign of God's restoration and blessing. Job 8:21 WEB: "He will yet fill your mouth with laughter, your lips with shouting, and those who hate you will be clothed with shame."
8. Regarding your relationship, we pray that God would be at the center, guiding both of you in His will. We must remind you that any romantic relationship should be one of courtship, with the goal of marriage, and that both parties should be believers in Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 6:14 WEB: "Don't be unequally yoked with unbelievers, for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? Or what communion has light with darkness?"
Finally, let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up these requests to You. Lord, guide our brother in all things, and may Your will be done in his life. Deliver him from any bondage of sin, and restore joy to his family. Be at the center of his relationship, and may Your blessing be upon his life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
