Let us come together and lift up Gabriel in prayer, seeking God's will for his life and academic pursuits.
Firstly, we acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God. As it is written 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.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Gabriel in the mighty name of Jesus. We ask that You guide him in his academic journey and help him transfer to a suitable university that aligns with Your will for his life. Grant him wisdom, comfort, and peace in his heart as he navigates this important decision.
Lord, we also pray for Gabriel's spiritual life. We ask that You draw him back to You, that he may return to fellowship with Your people. We pray that he may use his gifts to serve You and become the man You have called him to be. As it is written in Hebrews 10:25 WEB: Not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching.
Father, we ask for Your healing touch upon Gabriel's left ear, that he may be made whole. We also pray for Your guidance and wisdom as he prepares to take his driving test again. Remove any fear or anxiety and grant him confidence and enthusiasm in his abilities and school work.
We ask that Your light shines upon Gabriel, that the Holy Spirit continues to work in his life, guiding him in all truth. As it is written in John 16:13 WEB: However, when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all Truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
Father, we pray that as Gabriel pursues his major in business, he may do so with integrity and excellence, that he may be a light in the marketplace.
We ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
We encourage Gabriel to trust in the Lord with all his heart, and lean not on his own understanding. In all his ways, may he acknowledge God, and He will make Gabriel's paths straight. As it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB: Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Lastly, we want to address that Gabriel's parents' divorce may have had an impact on his faith and personal life. We pray that God will heal any wounds from this and that Gabriel will forgive and love both of his parents, as God has called us to do. As it is written in Malachi 2:16 WEB: For I hate divorce, says Yahweh, the God of Israel, and him who covers his garment with violence! says Yahweh of Armies. Therefore keep watch to your spirit, and do not be unfaithful.
We pray that God will bless Gabriel in his personal and academic life and also be able to return to church and that he becomes a Christian Believer.
