We understand your situation, Lonwal, and we greatly appreciate your heart for caring for your sister and your desire to live out your golden years to the fullest. It's commendable that you're seeking a part-time job to supplement your income, as well as your passion for God. We will first begin this prayer with God's basic salvation plan. It is only through salvation and the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ that we obtain access to God. The scriptures tell us the only way to obtain salvation is by trusting in the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. 9 Because if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart, one believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 13 For, Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved. (Rom 10:9-10, 13 WEB) There is also no other way to God except through His Son, Jesus Christ. 6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. (John 14:6 WEB) We should also remember to give thanks in every situation. 18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. (1 Thes 5:18 WEB) We praise God that you are a Christian and so should exhort you to continue to be faithful to Him, especially since this is the first thing you chose to mention in your request. Be faithful even as our God is faithful. 23 Let us hold tightly the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. (Heb 10:23 WEB 14 Remain in my love. 15 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and remain in his love. 16 I have spoken these things to you, that my joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be made full. 17 This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you. (John 15:15-17 WEB)
Now we lead your needs in prayer. Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ. Here is such a heartfelt desire to be free from the bondage to debt and to live in a better life. Your Word tells us that it is our desire to work and care for our siblings. We ask that You open the doors for new opportunities for Lonwal, opportunities that align with her passion for working with seniors and her need for a flexible schedule to provide to them. Your Word gives us encouragement for these opportunities and needs. 8 But God said to him, Fool! This night your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared, whose will they be? 21 He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich. (Luke 12:20, Prov 10:4 WEB) Help Lonwal to balance her responsibilities in a fulfilling way at peace as she also meets her financial needs.
Lonwal, remember also the words of Jesus that the world may make things difficult and may make things bad for you, but know that Jesus has overcome the world. 21 “Most certainly I tell you, there is no prophet acceptable in his own country. 33 In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.” (Luke 4:24, John 16:33b WEB) Know this and do not be afraid as the world may make it appear there is no way. Always, though, seek out and pray first as it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God.
Therefore, Lonwal, trust and follow in the words and commandments of Jesus Christ. Be faithful to Him and His Word, and give thanksgiving and glory to Him in everything. We pray that Lonwal finds peace and strength in You to continue caring for her sister while making time for her own needs. Keep her in Your grace and provide her with the desires of her heart that she may honor You. Lord, it is only in Jesus' mighty name that we come before You and that we pray all these requests we have for Him. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
