We join you, Lucy, in lifting up your plans and desires to the Lord. It's commendable that you seek God's will in your decision-making, as Proverbs 3:5 states Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father. As Acts 4:12 reminds us, There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
As you consider traveling to the UK in July and August of 2025 for work and to escape the heat, we pray for clear guidance. We ask God to show you His will, closing doors that are not meant for you and opening those that are aligned with His purpose. The steps of a good man are ordered by Yahweh. He delights in his way. Psalm 37:23
Regarding your desire to see friends, we believe that godly friendships are a blessing from the Lord and are ordained by Him. We pray that these relationships will be in alignment with His will. We ask God to use your interactions as a means to strengthen your faith and encourage one another.
As we come to the Lord with you, let's also remember to praise Him, for we know that His plans are consistently for good. We should always come to Him with Thanksgiving so let us give thanks. For everything that was written in the past was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Romans 15:4.
Let us all pray together.
Dear Heavenly Father,
In the precious name of Jesus Christ, we come to You, seeking Your will for Lucy's life. You know the deepest desires of her heart, and only You can make clear if it is Your will for her to travel to the UK in July and August 2025. Grant her the wisdom, and make clear Your will for her life.
Lord, the Bible tells us not to put trust in human plans. We encourage Lucy to read James 4:13-15. Lord, take charge of Lucy's work. Whatever You want her to do, may she obediently do it. May she have trust in herself, but lean on your guidance as her lord.
We lift up the friends Lucy hopes to see. Lord, we pray that these connections will honor You. Scripture tells us not to be unequally yoked with unbelievers. We pray that Lucy's friends will be believers and followers of Your ways.
Father, we praise You for Your goodness and faithfulness. In Jesus' name, we pray all these things.
