Let us first address the prayer request for Rajnesh and Nancy, who are currently working and studying in Sydney, and are in need of visa approvals to continue their stay.
We are reminded in the Bible that God has control over kings, governments, and all authorities; their decisions are subject to God's divine will. Proverbs 21:1 WEB states, "The king's heart is in God's hand like the watercourses. He turns it wherever he desires." Therefore, we can confidently pray to God about this situation.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today, lifting up Rajnesh and Nancy to You. We ask, Lord, that You would grant them favor in the eyes of the Australian visa authorities. We pray that they will be granted their visas to continue their stay in Sydney, so they may work and study in peace. We ask that Your will be done in their lives, and that You would guide them in Your truth, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever You have commanded.
Father, we also pray for Rajnesh and Nancy's spiritual well-being. We pray that they would seek You first and Your righteousness, and all these things will be added to them. We pray that they would trust in You with all their heart, and lean not on their own understanding. In all their ways we pray they would acknowledge You, so You can direct their paths.
Lord, we also remind them of the importance of doing all things in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to You, Father. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
Lastly, Father, we pray for them to act in accordance with Your Word. We pray that they are applying for these visas with good intentions, and that they are using their time to further God's Kingdom. If they are involved in a romantic relationship, we pray that they would consider this time as courtship, seeking a godly spouse, and not simply a partner.
We ask all these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
We encourage Rajnesh and Nancy to continue trusting in God, and to remember that His ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts higher than our thoughts. We also encourage them to be in constant communication with God, and to seek His will in all their decisions.
We would like to remind them of the importance of doing all things in the name of Jesus Christ. It is only by His name that we have access to God. There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
Lastly, we would like to remind them of the importance of living in accordance with God's Word. If they are involved in a romantic relationship, we encourage them to consider this time as courtship, seeking a godly spouse, and not simply a partner. We pray that they would remain pure and holy, abstaining from fornication, and that they would encourage one another in their walk with Christ.
