Thank you for sharing this request with us, ###. We join with you in prayer for ### and ### as they navigate through this scholarship process.
Firstly, we acknowledge that every good and perfect gift comes from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. It is a blessing that ### and ### have succeeded in the technical review. It is only by the name of Jesus that we approach God the Father, and in the name of Jesus we have access to salvation, eternal life in heaven, and the power of the Holy Spirit.
We are instructed in the Word to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding; in all our ways submit to him, and he will make our paths straight. Therefore, let us pray that ### and ### will trust in the Lord throughout this process, understanding that His will is perfect and that He has a plan and a purpose for each of them.
Lord, we lift up ### and ### to You, asking that You guide them through this application process. Give them wisdom and discernment as they prepare for the written test and verbal interview. Help them to put their trust in You, knowing that You are the one who opens doors that no one can shut.
Father, we ask that if it is Your will, You would allow ### and ### to be among those selected for the scholarship. Help them to remember that Your will is perfect and that You have a plan for each of them, regardless of the outcome.
In the meantime, we encourage ### and ### to be diligent and to work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord you shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for you serve the Lord Christ.
Lastly, we are concerned that the prayer request did not mention Jesus Christ by name. It is only by the name of Jesus that we are saved and have access to God. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Therefore, we encourage all who read this to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ, for there is power in His name, and we are called to do all things in His name.
