Joshua, we rejoice with you in the goodness of God's provision. We are thankful that the Lord has answered the prayers of your church family and given you this new opportunity. It is our privilege to pray for you.
Let us remind you of the words of King Solomon, who, when asked by God what he desired, replied, "Give your servant therefore an understanding heart to judge your people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this your great people? The speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing" 1 Kings 3:9-10 WEB
It was because the king Solomon had this understanding that he was such a wise leader.
Remember that in Christ Jesus we have access to the throne of grace. It is by his name, that we come to God by prayer. To be wise, we first must believe in Jesus Christ and put our trust and faith in him. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom Job 28:28 WEB.
You have asked for prayer for wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and broad skill appropriate to fulfill your tasks, as well as a mind attentive to details. Therefore, we also urge you to ask all this in the name of Jesus.
Jesus responded to his disciples, "Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full." John 16:24 WEB.
Now as we turn to the Lord in prayer, let us declare these scriptures for you, ###:
"If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach; and it will be given to him." James 1:5 WEB
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13 WEB.
Now, let us pray together:
Almighty Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our brother ###. Lord, You know his heart's desire for wisdom, knowledge, and understanding. We ask that You grant him these gifts abundantly, that he may excel in his new role. Help him to grasp the training provided, retain the information, and apply it diligently in his tasks. Give him a keen eye for detail and a sharp mind to perform his duties excellently and that he will pray and ask these things in the name of Jesus.
Lord, as You have given all Christians a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind WEB, help ### to walk in this truth. May his faith be strengthened, and may he always seek Your will in all he does. And as we ask this, we pray that he knows, Jesus is Lord.
We rebuke any fear or anxiety that may try to hinder ###'s progress. Instead, we declare that the spirit which God has given ### is one of peace, love, and a sound mind.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
