Heavenly Father,
We lift up Nigel Dsouza to You, trusting in Your mercy, grace, and favor as he awaits the outcome of his permanent residence application in Australia. Your Word tells us in Psalm 37:5 to commit our way to You, trust in You, and You will act. We pray that You will intervene on Nigel's behalf, guiding the immigration process and ensuring that all formalities are completed smoothly and swiftly.
Lord, we ask for Your favor to rest upon Nigel, as mentioned in Psalm 90:17, that the favor of the Lord our God be upon him, and establish the work of his hands. May Your favor open doors and make a way for Nigel to receive his permanent residence status in Australia.
We also pray for Your peace to guard Nigel's heart and mind during this waiting period. Your Word assures us in Philippians 4:6-7 that when we present our requests to You with thanksgiving, Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Grant Nigel the assurance that You are in control and that Your timing is perfect.
Lord, Your plans for Nigel are plans for his welfare and not for evil, to give him a future and a hope, as mentioned in Jeremiah 29:11. We pray that Your perfect plan for Nigel's life includes obtaining permanent residence in Australia, where he can continue to flourish and contribute positively to society.
Father, we ask for Your divine favor to be evident throughout this process, just as You showed favor to Joseph in Genesis 39:21, that You may give Nigel favor and mercy in the sight of those who are involved in his application.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
