Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear brother or sister who has applied for citizenship. Lord, You know the desires of their heart and the steps they have taken in faith. We ask that You expedite the processing of their application and grant them favor with the authorities.
Your Word says in Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." We stand on this promise, believing that You will provide peace and swift resolution.
Father, we also pray that they will receive their passport in time to travel to Italy and watch their daughter play. We trust in Your perfect timing and provision. Thank You for hearing our prayer and for the assurance that You are working all things together for good.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
