Let us come together in prayer for Balmikos's request. First we will address and examine the request.
Favor is something we ask from our Father in Heaven. It is not a small or trivial thing. It is serious and should be approached through our Lord Jesus Christ. God knows all of our needs and has all power and can do what he wills. That is not the issue. The issue is what is God's will in this situation. We can know that and we can know if this is God's will by looking to the Bible for answers.
Please be advised that we pray for spiritual growth and guidance, and for God's will to be done. This can mean anything from a physical ride to a new spiritual journey with God.

It is God's will that we are in a relationship with Him. It is God's will that none should perish. It is God's will that everyone repent and come to Jesus Christ. It is God's will that all are saved and come to salvation.
It is not God's will to have a self-centered life. It is not God's will that we are self-absorbed and consumed by our own needs. The self-centered life is sin and it is death. In Christ we do not have a self-centered life. We have a Christ-centered life. We have a crucified life. A crucified life is not self-centered, it is Christ-centered. In Christ we are crucified with Him. We are buried with Him. We are raised with Him to a new life. A new life that lives for Christ Jesus.
God is not a cosmic vending machine that fulfills our every wish. Some may not like to hear this but it is true. Think about it. If God is a loving Father he is not going to give us everything we ask for. He is going to give us what we need. That is not to say that God does not give us good gifts. He does. But he gives us what we need, not what we want. Many things we want are not good for us. God does know what is good for us.
We will pray for favor in the name of Jesus Christ. We will pray for favor that Bongani comes to salvation and is lifted up to Jesus Christ. We ask that God's will be done in Witbank. We also ask that Bongani, Balmikos, and all of us be saved.
There is no other name under Heaven by which we must be saved. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we are saved. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we are saved. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. So we will pray in His name.
Let us pray,
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you today in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Bongani and Balmikos to you. We ask that you will grant favor according to Your will, and that You will work in their lives for Your glory.
Father, we pray that Bongani's needs are met, whether they be physical, emotional, or spiritual. We ask that You will provide for them abundantly, and that You will use this situation to draw them closer to You in Jesus Christ.
Lord, we also pray for Balmikos, that You will give them peace and assurance in Your love, and that You will guide them in Your truth. Help them to trust in You, and to seek Your will in all things.
Father, we ask that You will work in the lives of Bongani and Balmikos, and that You will use this situation to bring them closer to You. We pray that they will come to know You in a deeper way, and that they will be transformed by Your love.
Lord, we ask that You will be glorified in this situation, and that Your will be done in the lives of Bongani and Balmikos. We pray that they will be saved in Jesus Christ. We pray that they will know salvation in Jesus Christ. We know that your will is that none will perish and that all will come to repentance. We ask that this be done in Witbank. We ask that Bongani and Balmikos be lifted up in Jesus Christ. We ask that they will be saved. You are our God and in You we trust.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Let us always remember to approach our Father in Heaven in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us always remember to come before the Father in Jesus Christ. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. It is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. So let us always pray in His name. Amen.
