We understand your desires and concerns, and we stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will together. Let's bring your requests before the Lord, while also ensuring we are aligned with biblical principles.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus, as it is written in John 14:6 WEB: "Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me." It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, through which we must be saved!"
Let's address your requests one by one.
For the individual seeking employment aligned with his health conditions, we pray for God's provision and guidance. Remember that God has a plan and purpose for each of us, and He cares about our needs. 1 Peter 5:7 WEB: "...casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you." We pray that this job will not only meet his physical needs but also allow him to use his talents for God's glory.
For your child's admission into their dream college, we pray for God's will to be done. Proverbs 16:9 WEB: "A man's heart plans his course, but Yahweh directs his steps." While we want the best for our children, let's trust that God has the perfect plan for them.
Regarding your request for busyness in your job to avoid negative thoughts, we must be cautious. While it is good to be productive and responsible, we should not use busyness to escape negative thoughts or feelings. Instead, we should cast our anxieties on God and trust in Him. Philippians 4:6-7 WEB: "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."
Moreover, it is crucial to have a balanced life that includes time for rest, family, and worship. Luke 10:38-42 WEB reminds us of the importance of spending time with Jesus, as Mary did, rather than being constantly busy like Martha.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up these requests to You. We pray for the individual seeking employment, that You would guide them to a job that aligns with their health conditions and allows them to serve You. We ask for Your will to be done in the life of the child seeking admission to their dream college. And for the one requesting busyness in their job, we pray for a balanced life, filled with Your peace, and for Your grace to help manage negative thoughts. Help us all to trust in You more.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue to trust in God and His plans, always seeking His will in all aspects of life. Be mindful to maintain a balanced life, not using busyness to avoid negative thoughts, but rather turning to God in all circumstances.
