Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of trust and hope, lifting up this dear one who seeks Your divine intervention. Lord, we ask that You expedite the arrival of the child's passport so that this family may travel home for the holidays without hindrance. Your Word assures us in Isaiah 40:31 that "those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Grant this family the strength and patience they need during this time of waiting.
Father, we also bring before You the mental health and work situation of this beloved child of Yours. In Philippians 4:6-7, You remind us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." We ask for Your peace to envelop this person, calming every storm and providing clarity and comfort.
Lord, please intervene in the difficult work situation. Provide wisdom, protection, and a way through this challenging time. As it is written in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." Grant the wisdom and discernment needed to navigate these difficulties.
We place all these requests at Your feet, trusting in Your perfect timing and unfailing love. May Your will be done, and may Your name be glorified in every outcome.
In Jesus' mighty and precious name, we pray. Amen.
