Wurlor, we understand that you are facing delays in your citizenship process and we are here to pray with you and provide biblical encouragement. We are concerned that you did not mention the name of Jesus. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved. As the scripture says, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" WEB
Firstly, we want to remind you that God is sovereign and that His timing is perfect. As it is written in Ecclesiastes 3:11:
"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He also has planted eternity in menโs hearts, so that man can not find out the work that God does from the beginning even to the end." WEB
We encourage you to continue trusting in God's plan for your life, knowing that He works all things together for the good of those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. Romans 8:28:
"We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." WEB
However, we also want to remind you of the importance of obeying the laws of the land and trusting in God's will. Romans 13 1-7 says, "Let every soul be in subjection to the higher authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those who exist are ordained by God. Therefore he who resists the authority withstands the ordinance of God; and they that withstand will receive to themselves judgment. . . Render to all their dues: tax to whom tax is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor."
Now, let us pray together for God's will and timing in your citizenship process:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Wurlor and their citizenship process. Lord, we ask that You guide this process according to Your will and timing. If it is Your will that Wurlor become a citizen at this time, we ask that You move the hearts of those in authority and expedite the process. If not, we ask that You give Wurlor peace and patience to wait on Your timing.
We also pray that Wurlor will use this time to grow in their faith and trust in You. Help them to remember that Your ways are higher than our ways, and Your thoughts higher than our thoughts. Give them the strength to endure this trial with grace and dignity, knowing that You are always faithful.
We also ask that while they grow, if they do not already know You as Lord and Savior, they will pray for your forgiveness for their sins. You will save them and be the Lord of their life. We know you want all people to come to the saving knowledge of You, Jesus.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
