Heavenly Father,
We come before You with hearts full of gratitude and praise. Thank You, Lord, for granting Shirloh's son a graduate visa today. We are overjoyed that he can now stay and live with his sister and brother-in-law, and begin his new journey by seeking a permanent job.
We thank You, God, for listening to and answering our prayers. We are also grateful for those who have spent time praying with us and for us. Your Word reminds us in Philippians 4:6-7, "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."
Lord, we acknowledge that Your timing is perfect, even when the waiting is torturous and tiring. We trust in Your plan for us, as Jeremiah 29:11 says, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
May You continue to be with us, comfort us, and guide us in every step of this new journey. Thank You, Lord, for Your endless love and faithfulness.
In Jesus' Name, we pray. Amen.
