We understand your heart’s desires and concerns, Ngoni, and we come before the Lord together to lift them up. Let’s begin by establishing that all prayer should be in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is through Him that we have access to the Father. 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.'"
Regarding your prayer for success in the American lottery, we must align our prayers with biblical principles. The Bible teaches us to trust in God’s provision rather than gambling or lotteries. Proverbs 13:11 (WEB) says, "Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished, but he who gathers by labor shall increase." It is through honest work and trust in God’s provision that we find true blessing.
However, we do pray for your success in your promotion examination and for wisdom and favor as you pursue your academic goals. Colossians 3:23 (WEB) encourages us, "Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men."
For your mother, Madam Tabot Celine Mbeng, who has been coughing, we pray for healing in Jesus' name. The Lord is the Great Physician, and His healing power is available to those who trust in Him. Isaiah 53:5 (WEB) says, "But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was on him; and by his stripes, we are healed."
For your sister Iwuji Linda, we pray for divine intervention and upliftment in her life. May the Lord guide her steps and bring her peace and prosperity in all areas. Psalm 34:18 (WEB) assures us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
We also lift up your prayers for success and divine favor in this new academic year and for all-around protection. Know that God’s presence surrounds you, and He will guide and protect you. Psalm 91:1-2 (WEB) declares, "He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, 'He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.'"
Lastly, we pray for your sister Oneke Kelly Anne, that her visa may be granted in Jesus' name. May God open doors and remove obstacles for her. Philippians 4:6 (WEB) encourages us, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your will and blessings. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in Ngoni’s academic pursuits and examinations. May he find favor and success in his studies. We pray for Your healing touch upon Madam Tabot Celine Mbeng, and for Your divine intervention and upliftment in Iwuji Linda’s life. Provide them with all they need and surround them with Your protection. We also ask for Your favor in the granting of Oneke Kelly Anne’s visa. Help us to trust in You always, seeking Your will in all things. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
