Thank you, Tarred, for reaching out and sharing your prayer request. We stand with you in prayer as you seek God's will for your career and future.
Firstly, we commend your faith and trust in God's provision. It is wonderful to see your dedication and hard work as a nurse, and your desire to provide for your family. We are reminded of the words of Paul in Colossians 3:23-24 WEB: "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."
We pray that God will open the right doors for you and your family. We ask for His guidance as you apply for jobs, and for His favor upon your applications. Remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB). Trust that He has a plan and a purpose for you and your family.
However, we must also remind you of the importance of seeking God's kingdom first, and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33 WEB). Be open to His leading, even if it is in a direction you did not initially consider. Also, since someone didn't mention the name of Jesus, make sure to study the Bible to find what it actually says in Jesus' Name because it is the name known in heaven, on the earth, and under the earth. And, every tongue will confess Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. There is no other name under heaven by which man can be saved. Just praying to God is not what Jesus taught, but praying to the Father in Jesus Name. Also, if you are not aware of the basic Gospel and have not obeyed the commands of Jesus such as baptism, been saved, or become a new creature in becoming a Christian, please take the time to determine if you need to know. Basically, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and call on His name and you will be saved and your household. We will be praying for your salvation and your family.
As you consider international opportunities, also consider God's call for us to be lights in the world (Matthew 5:14-16 WEB). Wherever you and your family end up, remember that God has placed you there for a purpose, and that purpose includes shining the light and love of Christ to those around you.
Join us in praying:
Heavenly Father, we come before You today lifting up Tarred and their family. We ask, Lord, that You would guide them in their job search, and that You would open the door for an international job with visa sponsorship if it be area of ministry and in Your Will. We pray that Tarred would find a job that allows them to use their gifts and skills as a caregiver, and that they would be a blessing to others through their work. We ask that You would provide for all of their needs, both financial and spiritual, as they seek to serve You. Help them be a faithful husband and father dedicated to being a strong and dedicated Christian leader. Shed Your tender, merciful kindness on them in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We ask this all in Jesus' name, Amen and for the salvation of their family.
