We join you, Pelbun, in lifting up your request to God, trusting in His sovereignty and the power of Jesus' name. We are reminded in this passage of your faith and obedience in invoking the name of Jesus in your prayer request in this group. We should be using the name of Jesus in all of our prayers and not just in our group. In fact, it is the only way that we can have access to God. We should also remember that it is only by the name of Jesus Christ that we can be saved. So it is important that we remember to use his name in dealing with all of life's issues and not just prayer requests. We are told in scripture the following.
And in no other is there salvation, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!Acts 4:12 WEB.
for there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the Man, Christ Jesus 1 Tim 2:5 WEB.
For a child will be born to us. A son will be given to us; and the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isa 9:6 WEB.
A rose by any name can smell as sweet, but no other name will give us access to God or save us as the Name of Jesus.
Therefore, let's align our prayers with God's will and remember that His ways are higher than ours. While we can ask God for specific things, like a sponsorship and university admission, we must ultimately trust in His timing and plan. We can only ask that by our requests that the will of God will be accomplished here on earth as it would be in Heaven.
Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Pelbun's brother. Lord, we ask that Your will be done in his life. If it is Your will, soften the heart of the sponsor to grant the sponsorship, and guide the university to process his admission swiftly. We trust in Your timing and Your plan, Lord. Help Pelbun's brother to rest in Your sovereignty and wait patiently for Your answer.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Pelbun, we encourage you to continue trusting in God, knowing that He hears your prayers and cares for you and your brother. Be filled in the Holy Spirit and encouraged in this scripture that assures you of answered prayer.
Therefore, I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. Mark 11:24 WEB.
Do you believe that you have received his answer to your prayer, or do you even have more assurance in the scripture above that leads you to believe that even more wonderful life changing things may be coming to pass?
