Thank you, Steve, for bringing your request before us. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's will for your situation.
Firstly, we commend you for praying in the name of Jesus Christ, as it is through Him that we have access to the Father. As it is 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." And in Acts 4:12 WEB: "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Now, let us address your concern. You've taken a step of faith by purchasing your ticket and preparing for your classes. Remember that God honors faith, as seen in Hebrews 11:6 WEB: "Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him."
However, we must also understand that God's timing is not always ours. While you're expecting your visa to come swiftly, God might have other plans. Our encouragement to you is to wait patiently and trust God's timing. As it is written in Isaiah 40:31 WEB: "But those who wait for Yahweh shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run, and not be weary. They shall walk, and not faint."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother Steve. Lord, You know his heart's desire to start his classes on time. We pray for Your will to be done in his life. If it is Your will, Lord, we ask that You expedite the visa process so that Steve can attend his classes on time. However, if You have a different plan, help him to trust in Your timing and rest in Your sovereignty.
In the meantime, Lord, help Steve to use this time wisely. Help him to grow in his faith and knowledge of You. Help him to be a testimony of Your goodness and faithfulness.
In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
Steve, continue to trust in God, knowing that He is working everything out for your good (Romans 8:28 WEB). Keep us updated so we can continue to pray and support you.
