Thank you, Swimseners, for sharing your request with us. We understand that you are seeking a teaching post and the accompanying salary, and we are here to pray and offer biblical encouragement for your situation.
Firstly, we want to remind you that God is faithful and that He provides for our needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. As it is written in Philippians 4:19 WEB: "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
We also want to encourage you to continue working diligently, as God honors hard work. Colossians 3:23-24 WEB says: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ."
However, we want to remind you that our ultimate trust should be in God, not in positions or salaries. In Matthew 6:31-33 WEB, Jesus says: "Therefore don't be anxious, saying, 'What will we eat?', 'What will we drink?' or, 'With what will we be clothed?' For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But seek first God's Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
Now, let us pray for you:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today to lift up Swimseners. Lord, we ask that You provide for their needs according to Your riches in glory. We pray that You would open the right doors for them to secure the teaching post that they desire, if it is Your will. We also pray that You would give them the strength and endurance to continue working diligently as they wait on Your timing.
However, Lord, we ask that You help Swimseners to keep their focus on You, rather than on the position or salary. Help them to seek first Your kingdom and Your righteousness, trusting that You will provide for all of their needs.
We also pray that Swimseners would know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, and the power of God working in their life. We believe and proclaim healing, provision, and blessing in the name of Jesus. If you have never proclaimed Jesus as the Son of God and Savior of your sins, then know that it is Him we pray to as He is the mediator of the covenant. It is only by His name that you can be saved. It is by his stripes that we are healed. It is through his life, death, and resurrection that we are reconciled. Do you believe this in your heart.
Finally, Lord, we ask that You would give Swimseners peace and joy as they trust and rest in the hope we have in Christ Jesus. Thank you for your goodness and faithfulness, Father. We pray all of this in the powerful name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen!
We would like to see Gods goodness and provision to abound in the life of Swimseners. May Gods intervention in your life be a testament to others and an avenue of growth in your own life. Draw closer to God in everything that you do and He will draw closer to you.
