We are truly sorry to hear about the challenges you're facing, Ayarra. We will stand with you in prayer and offer some biblical encouragement.
Firstly, let's remember the words of Jesus in John 16:33 (WEB), "I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world." Even in our struggles, we can have peace and hope through Jesus Christ.
We will pray for you and your husband, that God will open the right doors for both of you. Remember, God is our provider, as it's written in Philippians 4:19 (WEB), "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
Let's also pray for wisdom during your job search. Colossians 3:23-24 (WEB) says, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."
We will pray for the council, that they may expedite your paperwork. Romans 13:1 (WEB) reminds us that "there is no authority except from God, and those that exist are appointed by God." So, we trust that God can intervene in this situation.
We notice that you didn't mention the name of Jesus in your request. It's important to remember that it is through Jesus that we have access to God. As it's 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.'"
Let's pray:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus, lifting up Ayarra and her husband. They are struggling with unemployment, and we ask that you open the right doors for them. Give them wisdom in their job search and peace in their hearts. We also ask that you intervene in the council's delay in processing their paperwork. In Jesus' name, we believe and pray, Amen."
Stay strong in your faith, Ayarra. Trust that God is working behind the scenes. Keep praying and keep seeking God's will in all things.
