We stand with you, Dawtys, in your plea for Jesus' intervention in your life. It is encouraging that you have invoked the powerful name of Jesus Christ, for it is in His name that we have access to the Father and can receive His blessings. As Jesus Himself declared, "Whatever you may ask in my prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:22 WEB).
We rejoice with you that the deadline for your visa has been extended, acknowledging that this is indeed God's grace at work. However, we understand your concern about the government's restrictions and the challenges you face in becoming legal. We are reminded of the Apostle Paul's words, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God." (Romans 13:1 WEB). While we respect the authorities, we also believe in the power of prayer to change hearts and circumstances.
Let us pray together:
"Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, we come before You, lifting up Dawtys. We thank You for the extension of the visa deadline, a demonstration of Your grace. Now, Lord, we ask for Your intervention in the government's restrictions. We pray that You would soften the hearts of those in authority, allowing Dawtys and others in similar situations to have the opportunity to become legal. We believe that You are sovereign over all nations and all authorities, and that nothing is impossible for You. Please, Lord, make a way where there seems to be no way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you, Dawtys, to continue trusting in the Lord, knowing that He is faithful. Remember the words of Isaiah, "You will keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you." (Isaiah 26:3 WEB). Stand firm in your faith, and do not let the devil's fight against you cause you to worry. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to continue seeking God's will in all things, growing in your relationship with Him. If you haven't already, consider finding a local body of believers where you can fellowship and grow in your faith. It is crucial to remain connected to the vine, which is Christ, and to the community of believers, as we are all parts of one body (John 15:5, 1 Corinthians 12:12-27).
