Let's bring this situation before the Lord, seeking His will and guidance. It's clear that you're eagerly waiting for a letter of recommendation from this individual, and it's important to remember that our trust should ultimately be in the Lord, not in man. As it says in
Psalm 118:8-9 WEB:
It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,
than to put confidence in man.
It is better to take refuge in Yahweh,
than to put confidence in princes.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our ### who is awaiting this letter of recommendation. Lord, we ask that You would work in the heart of this individual who has promised to provide the letter. If it is Your will, prompt them to fulfill their promise swiftly.
However, Lord, if this delay is from You, help our ### to trust in Your timing and Your ways. We know that Your thoughts are not our thoughts, neither are Your ways our ways. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your ways higher than our ways, and Your thoughts than our thoughts. (Isaiah 55:8-9 WEB)
In the meantime, Lord, open up other doors for our ###. If this letter is not forthcoming, provide other opportunities for her to apply and move forward. We trust that You have a plan and a purpose in all things.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
In the meantime, ###, continue to trust in the Lord and His timing. Remember that His thoughts and ways are higher than ours. If this person is continually providing excuses, it may be wise to seek recommendations from others as well. The Bible tells us in Proverbs 11:14 WEB:
Where there is no wise guidance, the nation falls,
but in the multitude of counselors there is victory.
Seek godly counsel and wisdom, and trust that the Lord will direct your paths. We are here with you in spirit, praying and believing that God will make a way.
