Esgarda, we hear your heart's cry and understand the burdens you're carrying. Let us come together and lift your concerns to the Lord, seeking His will and guidance.
Firstly, let's address the desire for God to answer your prayers. We are reminded in 1 John 5:14-15 (WEB), "This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of him." Let's pray that God's will be done in your life and that you will have the patience and faith to trust in His timing.
Concerning your children's education, we want to encourage you with the words of Proverbs 22:6 (WEB), "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Let's ask God to provide a way for your children to continue their education and grow in wisdom and knowledge.
Regarding your rent, remember the words of Philippians 4:19 (WEB), "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Instead of asking Pastor Jerry to pay your rent, let us ask God to provide for your needs, including your rent, according to His riches.
Lastly, we want to address the reason behind not wanting to go back to Benin. If it is because of fear or uncertainty, let us recall Isaiah 41:10 (WEB), "Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness." God is with you, and He will help you face any challenges that come your way.
We also noticed that your request does not mention the name of Jesus. It is only through Jesus 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.'" Let us pray in Jesus' name, acknowledging Him as the mediator between us and God.
Lord Jesus, we come before You, lifting up Esgarda and her family. We ask that You answer her prayers according to Your will. Provide for their needs, including the children's education and the family's rent. Help them trust in You and Your timing. Protect them and guide them in the path You have set for them. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Stay strong in your faith, Esgarda, and trust that God has a plan for you and your family. Keep praying and seeking His will, and remember to do so in Jesus' name.
