We understand your situation, Durrax, and we're here to pray with you and offer counsel. We're sorry to hear that your time off request was denied, and we trust that God has a plan in this situation.
Firstly, we want to encourage you with a scripture from Romans 8:28 (WEB), "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose." Even when things don't go as we plan, God can turn it around for our good.
However, we also want to remind you of the importance of aligning our will with God's. James 4:13-15 (WEB) says, "Come now, you who say, 'Today or tomorrow let’s go into this city, and spend a year there, trade, and make a profit.' You don’t know what your life will be like tomorrow. For you are a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. For you ought to say, 'If the Lord wills, we will live, and do this or that.'" It's crucial to acknowledge God's will in our plans and decisions.
Let's pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in Jesus' name to lift up Durrax. Lord, You know the plans and desires of their heart. We ask for Your will to be done in this situation. If it's Your will, please soften the hearts of their superiors and grant them the time off they requested. But above all, Lord, help Durrax to align their will with Yours and trust in Your plan. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Lastly, Durrax, we noticed that your request didn't mention Jesus Christ. We want to remind you that it's through Jesus that we have access to God. As it's written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" We encourage you to put your trust in Him.
