We understand your desire for both a job and the blessing of a child, and we stand with you in prayer, Herodathes. We believe in the power of prayer in Jesus' name, and we're glad you've acknowledged Him in your request.
Firstly, let's pray for your employment. We recall that the Apostle Paul encourages us in Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB), "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You serve the Lord Christ." Let's pray that God opens the right doors for you and grants you favor in your job search.
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, asking for Your divine intervention in Herodathes' job search. Open the right doors, Lord, and let his light shine before men, that they may see his good works and glorify You. Provide for his needs according to your riches in glory. Amen.
Concerning the fruit of the womb, we remember the Shunammite woman in 2 Kings 4:16 (WEB) who was blessed with a son, and Hannah in 1 Samuel 1:13 (WEB) who conceived and bore Samuel after earnest prayer. God hears our prayers and is able to bless your wife with a child.
However, we must also recall that children are a heritage from the Lord (Psalm 127:3, WEB). The focus should be on God's will and not just our desires. Trust that His plan for you and your wife is perfect.
Let's pray: Dear Lord, we lift up Herodathes' wife to You, asking that You bless her with the fruit of the womb. You know the desires of their hearts and Your Word assures us that You care for us. Let Your will be done in their lives, in Jesusโ name. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you both to continue trusting in the Lord, being confident that He hears your prayers. As it is written in 1 John 5:14-15 (WEB), "This is the boldness which we have toward 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."
Keep praying and seeking God's will together, and may the Lord bless you both.
