We rejoice with you, Simon, for the marvelous work that God has done in your life. Your testimony is a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness and the power of prayer. As it is written in Philippians 4:6, "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God." You turned to God in your time of need, and He answered your prayers swiftly.
We also want to encourage you to continue to put your trust in God, as He is the one who orders our steps. Psalm 37:5 tells us, "Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this." Remember that God's timing is perfect, and He is always working for the good of those who love Him, according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
However, we would like to address one concern. You mentioned that your visa was granted after Fr. Paul's words during adoration. While we do not dismiss the encouragement you received, we want to remind you that our prayers should be directed to God alone, and our faith should be rooted in His Word and the power of the name of Jesus Christ, not in the words of men. As it is written in John 14:13-14, "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up Simon in prayer. We thank You for the miracle You performed in his life, granting him his visa extension. We ask that You continue to guide his steps and bless him abundantly. Help him to always put his trust in You and to seek Your will in all things. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Continue to walk in faith, Simon, and may God richly bless you as you trust in Him.
