Cithid, we join you in lifting up your family to our Heavenly Father, the God who sees all (El-roi), during this challenging time. We are reminded of His promise in Psalm 121:1-2, "I will lift up my eyes to the hills. Where does my help come from? My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth."
Firstly, we commend you for your faith in God, recognizing Him as your only hope. However, we want to remind you that our hope is in God through His son Jesus Christ. As it is written in Romans 5:1-2, "Being therefore justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God." Let us ensure we are calling upon the name of Jesus, for it is in His name that we have access to the Father and our salvation (John 14:6).
We pray that God will show you mercy, favor, and restoration in your finances, immigration status, and careers. We rebuke the spirit of lack, confusion, and despair that may be attacking your family. We claim God's promise in Joel 2:25, "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you."
In addressing your financial struggles, we encourage you to continue trusting God and also be good stewards of your resources. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:33, "But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."
Regarding immigration challenges, we pray for God's divine intervention. As Paul encourages us in Ephesians 6:12, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
Lastly, we pray for ### as he fasts and prays, that God will strengthen him and use him mightily for His glory. We ask God to give you a tangible sign of His work in your life today, as you have requested.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus. We lift up ###'s family to You, asking for Your mercy, favor, and restoration. Lord, intervene in their finances, immigration struggles, and careers. Give them evidence of Your work today, and help them to remain steadfast in their faith. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
