Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Stephen Thomas to You. We ask that You would intervene in his situation as he seeks to obtain his Permanent Residency in Canada. Lord, we pray that You would send helpers and provide the necessary resources for the process to begin. We know that You are a God who opens doors and makes a way where there seems to be no way. Your Word assures us that no good thing will You withhold from those who walk uprightly . We pray that Stephen would continue to walk uprightly before You and that You would grant him favor and success in his endeavors.
Father, we also lift up the desire of Stephen's heart to be joined in marriage. We ask that You would bring forth the right circumstances and opportunities for him and his partner to come together in holy matrimony. Your Word tells us that when two or more are gathered in Your name, You are in their midst . We pray that You would be in the midst of their relationship, guiding and directing their steps.
Lord, we also lift up Stephen's health and his mind to You. We ask that You would touch his body and bring healing where it is needed. Your Word declares that by Your stripes, we are healed . We pray for restoration and wholeness in every area of his life.
Lastly, we pray for Stephen's relationship with his mother and stepfather, who are Jehovah Witnesses. We ask that You would soften their hearts and open their eyes to the truth of Your Word. May they come to know Jesus as their personal Savior and experience the transforming power of Your love.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for Your faithfulness to answer. We trust in Your perfect timing and Your perfect plan for Stephen's life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
