We understand that you are seeking prayer for your family as you await the result of your working visa in New Zealand. We join with you in this time of anticipation, trusting in God's perfect plan for your life.
Firstly, we want to assure you that God is sovereign over all things, including the hearts of kings and rulers, as it is written in Proverbs 21:1, "The king's heart is in Yahweh’s hand like the rivers of water. He turns it wherever he desires." Therefore, we can trust that God is in control of the decision-making process regarding your visa.
We also want to encourage you with the words of Philippians 4:6-7, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." Instead of being anxious about the outcome, let us bring our requests to God with thanksgiving, knowing that His peace will guard our hearts and minds.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Bethbraxlar and their family as they await the result of their working visa in New Zealand. Lord, we know that You are in control of all things, and we trust that Your will is perfect. We ask that You guide the decision-makers and direct them according to Your will. Grant Bethbraxlar and their family peace and patience as they wait, knowing that Your timing is perfect. Help them to trust in You and to rest in Your goodness. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. If you have not already, make sure to submit your requests to God in Jesus' name, as it is 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.'" If you have any doubts about your relationship with Jesus Christ, we encourage you to seek Him and ask Him to be your Lord and Savior.
