We are grateful for your humble and honest prayer, seeking God's divine direction. Firstly, we want to commend you for acknowledging that you are a sinner in need of God's intervention. As it is written in Romans 3:23, "for all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God."
You've expressed a desire to please God and surrender your plans to Him. This is a beautiful expression of faith, reflecting the words of Proverbs 16:3, "Commit your works to Yahweh, and your plans shall be established." We pray that God grants you the strength to trust Him completely, casting away all anxiety about the future, as encouraged in Philippians 4:6, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."
Regarding your aspirations to become a professional football player, we want to remind you that God's will is indeed the most important thing. It's wonderful that you desire for more people to know God through your journey. We pray that God will use you as a vessel to spread the good news, as He has called us to do in Matthew 28:19-20, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I commanded you. Behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen."
However, we noticed that your prayer does not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we can approach God and be saved. As it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'" We encourage you to invite Jesus into your life, surrender to Him, and pray in His name.
Let us pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus, we come before You, acknowledging our sins and asking for Your forgiveness. We surrender our plans to You, trusting that Your will is perfect. Please guide our brother, grant him strength to overcome anxiety, and use him as a vessel to spread Your love and truth. In Your precious name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to dive into the Word of God daily, seeking Him first in all things (Matthew 6:33), and continue to trust in His guidance and timing. May God bless you and keep you in His perfect will.
