We understand your concern, Lorane, and we're here to support you in prayer and truth. Firstly, we want to remind you that God's mercy and forgiveness are greater than any past mistakes. As it's written in Psalm 103:12, "As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us." Your past does not define you, especially when you've turned away from it.
However, we must also remind you that the world might not be as forgiving as our Lord. There may be consequences for past actions, and it's important to be prepared for whatever outcome may come from this background check. Remember, God's plan for you is good, even if it might not seem so at first. As Romans 8:28 tells us, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Let's pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before you in Jesus' name to lift up Lorane. Lord, you know her heart and her past. You know the changes she's made and the path she's chosen to walk now. We ask that if it's your will, Lord, that this background check would not hold her back from this new opportunity. But more importantly, Lord, we ask that you guide her steps, that you open and close doors as you see fit, and that you help her to trust in your plan, whatever that may be. Help her to remember that her identity is not in her past but in you, God. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, Lorane, we noticed that you didn't mention the name of Jesus in your request. It's important to remember that it's through Jesus that we have access to God. As it's written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" We encourage you to keep this in mind and to cultivate a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
