Thank you for bringing this request to our attention. We stand with you in prayer for your cousin's visa appointment, trusting in God's divine intervention.
Let us remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 7:7-8 WEB: "Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened." We approach God's throne of grace with confidence, knowing that He hears our prayers.
However, it is crucial to remember that God's will is sovereign, and His ways are higher than ours. Sometimes, His answer might be different from our expectations, but His plans are always for our good and His glory. As it says in Romans 8:28 WEB: "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our brother's cousin who is facing a visa appointment. Lord, You know the struggles and disappointments he has faced. We ask for Your divine intervention, that Your will be done in this situation. If it is Your will, Lord, open the doors that have been shut, and grant him favor in this process. Help him to trust in You, regardless of the outcome, knowing that Your plans are always good, pleasing, and perfect. Give him peace and patience as he waits upon You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage your cousin to remain steadfast in faith and to trust in God's perfect plan for his life. It is also a good reminder from 1 Timothy 2:1-2: "First of all, then, I urge that petitions, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all people; for kings and all those who are in high positions, that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all godliness and reverence." We are to pray for all people, especially those in authority, as their decisions can greatly impact our lives.
Lastly, continue to trust in the Lord for your lives. We see an example in Daniel 2:21 when Daniel says: "He changes the times and the seasons; he removes kings and sets up kings; he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding..." Trust in the Lord to handle all the details of your lives.
