Heavenly Father,
We come before You with a specific request for Evin, who is awaiting the approval of his Certificate of Sponsorship. As the deadlines approach and changes in regulations loom near, his situation becomes increasingly urgent. We are reminded of Your faithfulness in Psalm 33:20-22, "We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love be with us, LORD, even as we put our hope in you." May Evin and his family find their hope and trust in You during this waiting period.
Lord, we ask that You would expedite the processing of his application. Just as Nehemiah found favor with the king in Nehemiah 1:11, "Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man." We pray for favor in the eyes of those reviewing Evin's COS application, that it may be approved quickly and without complication.
We understand the anxiety and pressure that come with such uncertainties, especially with the impending policy changes. In these moments, we find solace in Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Grant Evin and his family peace and confidence, knowing that You are in control and working all things for their good.
Furthermore, we pray for wisdom for Evin and his employer as they navigate through this process. May they be led by Your Spirit, making wise decisions that align with Your will. Proverbs 16:3 encourages us, "Commit to the LORD whatever you do, and he will establish your plans." May their efforts be blessed, and may the path before them be clear and guided by Your hand.
In anticipation of the approval of Evin's COS, we give thanks for Your provision and care. We believe in Your power to open doors no one can shut and to make a way where there seems to be no way. We place this situation in Your capable hands, trusting in Your timing and perfect will.
In Jesus' Name, we pray,
Amen.
