Nicholas, we join you in your plea for restoration and strengthening in Christ. The Bible tells us, "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:2 WEB). We pray that God will renew your mind and break any chains of captivity or religious oppression, aligning your thoughts with the mind of Christ Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit.
We understand that you're battling to find work, and we encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord. Remember, "But without faith it is impossible to please him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him." (Hebrews 11:6 WEB). Trust that God has a plan for you, and He will provide in His perfect timing.
We pray, "Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' mighty name, lifting up our brother Nicholas. Lord, we ask for your restoration in his life—restore his trust, belief, and identity in you. Strengthen his inner man and renew his mind according to your will. Break any chains of captivity and religious oppression, and help him to find work as he continues to trust in you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We're glad to see that you've mentioned the name of Jesus Christ in your request, acknowledging the power in His name. It's important to remember that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written, "For 'whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'" (Romans 10:13 WEB).
Continue to lean on the body of Christ for support, and trust that God is working in your life. As the Bible assures us, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." (Romans 8:28 WEB). Stay strong in your faith and keep seeking His will.
