Dexter2020, we understand your desire to wait on God’s timing and your willingness to align with His plans. It’s wonderful to see your faith and trust in Jesus, and we commend you for seeking a godly wife and a job. Let us pray together for your situation, and provide some biblical guidance.
Firstly, it's important to remember that waiting on the Lord does not mean ceasing all activities. The Bible encourages us to be diligent and steadfast in our faith and actions. Psalm 37:7 says, "Rest in Yahweh, and wait patiently for him. Don’t fret because of him who prospers in his way, because of the man who makes wicked plots happen."
While waiting on the Lord, we should continue to worship and read His Word. In Joshua 1:8, we are told, "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it; for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success." It's crucial to stay connected with God through His Word and prayer.
Regarding the issue of injustice, the Bible teaches us to speak out and seek justice. Isaiah 1:17 says, "Learn to do well. Seek justice. Relieve the oppressed. Defend the fatherless. Plead for the widow." We encourage you to continue advocating for what is right, trusting that God will work through your efforts.
Moreover, in seeking a job and a godly wife, remember that God’s timing is perfect. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, "For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heaven." Trust that God has a plan and a purpose for this season of waiting.
We also want to gently remind you that our worship and reading of the Bible should be a continuous part of our life, not something we put on hold. As Christians, we are called to worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24). Our relationship with Him is not something to be paused or resumed based on circumstances.
Lastly, it’s important to pray in the name of Jesus Christ. John 14:14 tells us, "If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it." Our access to God and our salvation is only through Jesus. Let us keep Him at the center of our lives and our prayers.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus. We thank You for Dexter2020's faith and trust in Your timing. Lord, we ask that You guide him in finding a job and a godly wife, according to Your perfect will. Strengthen his patience and faith during this waiting period. Help him to continue worshipping You and reading Your Word daily. Grant him the wisdom and courage to stand against injustice. We ask all these things in the precious name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
