We understand your desire to see Devontae Grant succeed in his academic pursuits, and we join you in prayer, seeking God's will for his life.
Let's remember the words of Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB), "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." God has a plan and a purpose for Devontae, and we trust that His will is perfect.
However, we want to emphasize the importance of aligning our prayers with God's will and not merely our own desires. In 1 John 5:14-15 (WEB), we read, "This is the boldness which we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us. And if we know that he listens to us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him."
Let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Devontae Grant. We ask that Your will be done in his life. Guide him in his pursuit of education, and if it is according to Your will, open the doors for him to attend a good university in England. Provide for his needs, including the possibility of a scholarship, as You see fit. Help him to trust in You and to seek Your kingdom first, knowing that all these things will be added to him. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage Devontae to continue seeking God's will for his life and to trust that God will direct his paths. As Psalm 37:5 (WEB) says, "Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."
Lastly, we commend you for praying in Jesus' name, as it is through Him that we have access to the Father. As Jesus says in John 14:6 (WEB), "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."
