Thank you, Shaalkaari, for sharing your requests with us. We stand with you in prayer as you embark on this new journey in wedding photography.
Firstly, let's address the use of God's name. You mentioned "Jehovah Jireh," which is a beautiful name of God meaning "The Lord will provide." However, it's crucial to remember that it is in the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. 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." So, let's keep this in mind as we pray.
Now, let's address your desires and concerns. It's clear that you have a passion for wedding photography and a desire to excel in it. This is a wonderful gift from God, and we encourage you to pursue it with all your heart. Remember the words of Colossians 3:23 WEB: "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."
However, we must also address some areas of concern in your request. It's important to remember that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil (Ephesians 6:12 WEB). While it's true that we should resist the devil (James 4:7 WEB), our focus should be on God, trusting Him to handle the spiritual warfare.
Moreover, it's wonderful to see your enthusiasm for learning and growing in your career. Remember that God's timing is perfect. While you have a four-week goal, remember that God's thoughts and ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB). Trust in His timing.
Now, let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Shaalkaari. Thank You, Lord, for the passion and gifts You've placed in their heart. We ask that You guide them in their career path, that You open doors that no man can shut, and that You equip them with all they need to succeed in their wedding photography career.
We pray that You provide all their needs according to Your riches in glory (Philippians 4:19 WEB). We ask that You help them in their online schooling, that You grant them the certificate in wedding photography, and that You bless their side hustle business.
We also pray that You protect them from any spiritual warfare. We ask that You cover them with the blood of Jesus, that You shield them from the evil one, and that You bring to nothing all the plans of the enemy concerning their life and career.
Lastly, Father, we ask that You reveal Yourself to Shaalkaari more and more each day. We pray that they come to know You intimately, that they grow in their relationship with You, and that they walk in Your will all the days of their life.
We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
