Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before you in the name of Jesus, seeking your guidance and favor for our dear friend who is in need of a visitor's visa to Australia. Lord, we acknowledge that you are the ultimate authority and that you hold the power to open doors and make a way where there seems to be no way.
We lift up this request to you, knowing that you are a God who hears and answers prayers. Just as Jacob reminded you of your promise in Genesis 32, we also remind you of your faithfulness and your promise to be with us always. We ask that you grant our friend favor in the eyes of the visa authorities, that their application may be accepted this time.
Lord, we understand the responsibilities our friend has towards their crippled brother and elderly mother. We pray for strength and provision for them as they fulfill their caregiving duties. We ask that you provide them with the opportunity to visit their sister in Australia and return safely to their country, knowing that their presence is needed at home.
We trust in your perfect timing, knowing that you work all things together for the good of those who love you. Help our friend to remain patient and steadfast in their faith, knowing that you are working behind the scenes on their behalf.
In the name of Jesus, our advocate and intercessor, we present this prayer request to you. May our friend's prayers be mingled with the incense of Christ's intercession, making them powerful and effective. We thank you in advance for the answered prayer and give you all the glory.
Amen.
