We join you, dear believer, in lifting up your father before the throne of grace, trusting in the power of Jesus' name. We are reminded in Matthew 7:7-8 WEB:
"Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened."
We pray that the Lord's favor will shine upon your father, and that the bank officials will look favorably upon his application. We ask that God's will be done and that, if it is in accordance with His perfect plan, the application will be approved.
However, we must also remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9 WEB). We pray that, if it is not God's will for the application to be approved, that your father will accept this with grace and trust that God has a better plan.
In either case, we pray that your father will continue to seek God's face and trust in His goodness. We ask that your father will be a witness of Christ's love and love to those around him, regardless of the outcome.
We also take this opportunity to remind you of the importance of praying in Jesus' name. As Jesus said in John 14:6 WEB:
"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."
It is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father, and it is only through His name that we can ask and receive according to God's will.
Together, let us pray:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up the father of our dear believer. We ask that You will pour out Your favor upon him, and that the bank will look favorably upon his application if it is in accordance with Your will. Help him to trust in You, whatever the outcome, and to be a witness of Your love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
