We understand your concern for your loved one and we're here to support you in prayer and counsel. Let's firstly discuss your choice of words in your request. To ensure we're aligning with biblical principles, we should avoid using vague terms like "him" or "Dear God" when referring to the person you're praying for and to God. In the Bible, we see the importance of using names when praying.
Let us discuss the issue of using the name of Jesus.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
(Philippians 2:9-10 WEB)
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
(Acts 4:12 WEB)
And whatever you shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
(John 14:13-14 WEB)
It's important to remember that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. There is no other name by which we can be saved.
Now, let's address the situation with your loved one. It's crucial to remind him that God doesn't look at setbacks the way we do. Instead, God views them as opportunities for growth and reliance on Him.
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."
It's also important to address the issue of blaming others rather than taking responsibility for one's actions.
Ephesians 4:31-32, WEB: "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you."
Now, let's pray together for him to be reminded that he is not God, and God is not through with him.
*Dear Heavenly Father, In Jesus name we come before Your throne boldly because of the precious blood of Your Son Jesus. We pray for this man and ask that You would give him strength and courage to face his difficulties and not give up on his studies and future. Remind him of this verse:*
*Isaiah 40:30-31, WEB: "Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall; But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint."*
*Help him to see the value of perseverance and taking responsibility for his actions. Convict his heart and turn him away from blaming others or circumstances, and instead, help him to look to You for guidance and strength. Remind him that you are the only wise God and there is no other God besides You.*
*1 Timothy 1:17 WEB Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.*
*1 Corinthians 8:4 WEB Therefore, as to the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no other God but one.*
*Thank You, Father, for hearing our prayers. We ask all this in the precious name of Your Son Jesus, our Lord and Savior, amen.*
May God will use this situation to draw your loved one closer to Him. Continue to support and encourage him in his walk with the Lord. We are here to support you both in prayer and counsel.
