Thank you, ###, for reaching out and sharing your requests with us. We are here to pray and provide guidance based on biblical principles.
Firstly, we want to remind you that it is commendable to seek God's will in your career path. It's good to seek God's permission and favor. We are calling on Jesus Christ who is in heaven with God the Father praying for us. Remember, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men" Colossians 3:23 WEB. We pray that God will open the right doors for you and grant you the job that He has prepared for you. We ask this in Jesus' name.
However, we want to address that it is important to acknowledge that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can approach God and receive His blessings. "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" 1 Timothy 2:5 WEB. Ensure that you are putting your trust in Jesus Christ and that you have accepted Him as your Lord and Savior because it is only through Him we can be saved. Acts 4:12 says "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."
Secondly, we want to encourage you as you battle against lust. It is important to note that sexual desire outside of marriage is a sin. God calls us to flee from sexual immorality. "Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body." 1 Corinthians 6:18 WEB. We pray that God will strengthen you and help you to focus your mind on pure and holy thoughts. "Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report; if there is any virtue, and if there is any praise, think about these things." Philippians 4:8 WEB.
Lastly, we are glad to hear that your friend has had her mind opened to the calling of God. We pray that God will guide both of you and grant you the wisdom to follow Him. "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of the giving God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." James 1:5 WEB. We pray that you will both grow stronger in your faith and be a light to those around you. Please know that we are also praying for your protection from evil spirits and darkness. Remember it is only through the name of Jesus that we can rebuke the devil. "I give them eternal life, and they will in no way perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand." John 10:28 WEB.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up ### and their friend to You. We pray from Your Word you will grant favor in the job they seek and guide them to the path You have chosen. We pray that You will strengthen them to overcome the temptation of lust and to focus their minds on pure and holy thoughts, and we ask for Your protection from evil spirits. Grant both ### and their friend wisdom in the knowledge of Your calling. We pray that You will give them the strength to follow You and to be a light to those around them. We pray for your protection from evil spirits and darkness.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
