We understand your family's difficult situation, and our hearts go out to you. Firstly, let us remember that our true help comes from God, as it is written in Psalm 121:2, "My help comes from Yahweh, who made heaven and earth."
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in Jesus' name, lifting up this family's urgent need. You know the struggles they're facing with the residence permit. We ask for Your divine intervention, Lord. Open the right doors, soften the right hearts, and provide the necessary funds for this need. We trust that You are the provider, as it is written in Philippians 4:19, 'My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.' Touch the hearts of the authorities, Lord, and grant them favor. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you to remain steadfast in faith and prayer, trusting that God is able to make a way where there seems to be no way. Also, we gently remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
In times of need, it's also important to reach out to the church community for support, as the body of Christ is called to bear one another's burdens (Galatians 6:2).
Lastly, we advise you to seek godly wisdom and guidance in navigating this situation. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, "Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." This includes exploring legal and sensible financial options, while trusting God for His provision.
