We understand that you are seeking prayer for a successful visa approval for your brother and mother-in-law to attend your daughter's wedding in Australia. We are here to pray with you and encourage you according to God's will.
Firstly, we acknowledge your inclusion of In Jesus Name at the end of your request. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. And there is no other name by which we can be saved.
Regarding your request, we must remember that God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. It is important to pray according to God's will and to trust that He knows what is best for us, even when the outcome may not be what we hope for.
+1 John 5:14-15 This is the confidence which we have before him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him.
+Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Ying's brother and mother-in-law. We ask, Lord, that if it is Your will, that You would grant them favor in their visa process and allow them to join the family in celebrating the marriage of Ying's daughter.
We trust in Your sovereignty, Lord, and we know that You work all things together for the good of those who love You and are called according to Your purpose. We ask that Your will be done in this situation, and that Ying and her family would trust in You, regardless of the outcome.
Help them also to look forward to the marriage as a celebration and solemn promise of a godly union between a man and a woman. Guide them to remember that it is a picture of your relationship with the church with Jesus as the groom and the church as His bride.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, Ying, to trust in God's perfect plan for your family, and to remember that He is always working for your good. We will continue to pray with you and for you, and we look forward to hearing how God answers this prayer.
If there are any issues preventing the approval that need to be addressed, we pray that those will be brought to light and resolved in Jesus' name. Ensure they have looked into every possible avenue for the visa approval.
