Our hearts go out to you, Hormemeo, as we understand the challenges you and Shawn are currently facing. We trust in the power of prayer and the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ to intervene in your lives.
Firstly, let's remember the words of Paul in 2 Corinthians 5:17 (WEB), "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new." It's encouraging to hear that Shawn has turned away from his past and is seeking a fresh start. This is a testament to the transformative power of God.
However, we must also address the concern about Shawn's difficulty in finding employment due to his past. While society may hold onto our past mistakes, God does not. We encourage Shawn to persevere and continue seeking honest work, for "whatever a man sows, that he will also reap" (Galatians 6:7 WEB). God honors diligence and perseverance.
Let's pray together:
*Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Shawn and Hormemeo in their time of need. Lord, You know their struggles and the challenges they face. We ask that You open the doors of opportunity for Shawn, that he may find a good, honest job that pays well. Help him to be a testimony of Your transforming power, and let his past be a story of redemption, not a barrier to his future.*
*Lord, we also ask that You provide for their financial needs according to Your riches in glory. May they trust in You, knowing that "my God will supply every need... according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 4:19 WEB).*
*We pray all these things in Jesus' precious name. Amen.*
Lastly, Hormemeo, as you continue to support Shawn, remember the words of Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 (WEB), "Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, and doesn't have another to lift him up." Keep encouraging and lifting each other up in faith and love.
As a final note, we see that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We believe that it is through His name that we have access to God, as it is written, "And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB). Trust in His name and His power to save and transform lives.
