We are with you in spirit, Janet50, lifting up your daughter Celestine in prayer. We stand on the promises of God, who assures us that He will never leave us nor forsake us. Let us remember that Jesus Himself said, "In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world."
Firstly, we commend you for acknowledging Jesus Christ in your prayer request. It is only by His name that we have access to God the Father. As the scripture says, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus". It is only by His name that we can be saved.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Celestine to You. Lord, You know her heart's desire to find a teaching job and to complete her degree. We ask that You open the doors of opportunity for her, and that You guide her steps according to Your will.
Father in heaven, we pray this in accordance with the scriptures so that we may be heard. We know this and expect it because of the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Jesus Himself said, "Most certainly I tell you, whatever things you ask for in prayer, believing, you will receive." Help us all to believe and pray this way.
We ask you to bring to Celestine's remembrance "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future.". Help her to trust in You and Your timing, knowing that Your thoughts toward her are good.
As Celestine seeks a job, remind her of the words of the Apostle Paul"With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men; knowing that whatever good thing each one does, he will receive the same good again from the Lord, whether he is bound or free.". Help her to find a job where she can serve You and others with good will, using the gifts and talents You have given her.
We also pray for Celestine's degree, that You would give her the strength and perseverance to complete it. We thank You that You are faithful to complete the good work You have started in her.
Finally, we pray and rebuke any possible past mistakes, sins, or other hindrances that may affect Celestine's job search and schooling. We ask you to help her seek forgiveness and guidance to be in Your will.
In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
Be encouraged, Janet50, by the words of the Apostle Paul, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose.". Trust that God is working all things together for good for Celestine. Stay strong and prayerful, knowing that God hears your prayers and that you are part of a community that cares and supports you.
