Dios en el cielo. Escuchenos a todos de nosotros que estan aqui esperando la respuesta del gobierno para aprobacion de la visa. Todos de nosotros estamos en la busqueda de amor y matrimonio, un sacremento santisimo.

Jehovah God,

You have been with us all this time Lord. We know this because you bought us together over 4 years ago. We have spent these years loving and growing and crying oh Lord. Never living in the same country still, we've maintained a sound relationship all this time.

Jehovah we ask you to continue to be with us as our interview date approaches. August 8th is the day that it will all come together and be validated by you. We sincerely love each other, want to marry and have a family, we want to live in the same country Lord. We prayerfully ask that you be with Salvador at the time of his interview and grant him his visa and please grant the Salir de Permiso in a timely manner so that we can finally be together.

Jehovah even though we already have our NOA2, we sincerely ask that you grant our prayer because we are yours and you are ours. We humbly ask that you continue to grant approvals on this visa journey website for each and every petitioner, each and every beneficiary and their families because these proceeding don't only affect the 2 people involved. Please Jehovah, grant the NOA1's and NOA2's and visa interview approvals that we've all so prayerfully and patiently waited for. Please allow all of our beneficiary finacees and their families safe journey to the United States and please Jehovah, please allow for a speedy and favorable entry process at the airport. We ask these and other blessings in the name of your son Jesus. Thank you so much Jehovah God, Amen

You know something, I never pray out loud.. Im always saying it in my mind...

I believe there is the God that sees everything, and he's reading my post right now.

Please God, help us be with the ones we love. Your grace has brought all of us this far, and your grace will lead us home.

So that all immigration officers are blessed with grace, I pray to the Lord.

So that every single human going through immigration speedily reaches into the arms of the one they love, I pray to the Lord.

So that I will see my husband soon, I pray to the Lord.

We are all in God's hands now.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed

he was walking along the beach with the LORD.

Across the sky flashed scenes from his life.

For each scene he noticed two sets of

footprints in the sand: one belonging

to him, and the other to the LORD.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him,

he looked back at the footprints in the sand.

He noticed that many times along the path of

his life there was only one set of footprints.

He also noticed that it happened at the very

lowest and saddest times in his life.

This really bothered him and he

questioned the LORD about it:

"LORD, you said that once I decided to follow

you, you'd walk with me all the way.

But I have noticed that during the most

troublesome times in my life,

there is only one set of footprints.

I don't understand why when

I needed you most you would leave me."

The LORD replied:

"My son, my precious child,

I love you and I would never leave you.

During your times of trial and suffering,

when you see only one set of footprints,

it was then that I carried you."

Hello everyone...i am starting this prayer brigade thread...please post your prayers for all of us waiting for our NOA2 approvals...whatever religion you have and whatever language you prefer...let us ask blessings and speedy processing of our papers...

Dear Lord Heavenly Father...we ask you to open the hearts and minds of USCIS people processing our documents....enlighten them...and give them the strength and passion to expedite the approvals...we ask you this in Jesus name.

Mahal nga Birhen Maria, gapangamuyo kami sa imo nga padasigon ang paghatag sang approval sa amon tanan..indi na paghatagan sang tiempo nga mag-ilis pinsar ang naga-proceso sang amon mga petition...taga-an nila kami ensiguida sang maayo nga balita para makapadulong na kami sa amon bag-o nga maayo nga pangabuhi...gapangayo man kami dayon nga mainterview kami ensiguida para mag-updanay na kami upod sang amon mga pinalangga. Espiritu Santo, gabayi kami...ikaw na bahala sa amon...indi namon controlado ang pag-pinsar kag pag-hulag sang mga ara sa USCIS...please take charge.

(L)

this is a great idea!! I wish you all the best :yes:

Father, I praise you for all you've done in weaving together this group and uniting myself and the others here with their partners. These relationships are a powerful gift from you and have provided joy, encouragement, and even healing to each of us. We see how your hand moves through what you have provided, and we thank you.

Your word says to praise you in all circumstances, Father, and that is what I choose to do. This is an opportunity to grow. Waiting can be difficult. But you have a plan and trusting you always yields extraordinary results. You can use our circumstances to increase our faith and strengthen our love, commitment, and resolve. You know every moment of every day that was written for each of us in your book of life. Nothing that's happening right now is a surprise to you. While we are sometimes impatient, Father, your timing is perfect. You can see things that we can't. You have a reason for each moment spent apart from our loved ones--reasons that will one day be fully revealed. I look forward with excitement to seeing how everything worked together to bring about something remarkably beautiful for every romantic story on this site.

Remind us, Father, that you are the Creator of all. NOTHING is beyond your reach or control, and you always have our best intentions at heart. You are the author of time. You created humanity, human thought, and personality. No person or circumstance we currently face poses any challenge to you. You can accomplish ALL.

Be with each of us, Father, and our partners. Fill us with a supernatural calm and sense of your presence in our respective situations. Reassure us that we are not helpless, that you hold us and our stories in the palm of your hand...that you are busily writing those stories in the best way possible. We trust you, Father. I trust you...with all my heart. Keep our feet on your path and our eyes focused on you. I pray all these things in Jesus' name. Amen.

Let's not forget about our better halves........

"Lord, as much as I love my wife/husband, I know you love her/him more. I realize that I cannot meet her/his every need and expectation, but you can. I pray that you will give ____________the fulfillment of knowing you in a deeper and richer way than she/he ever has before. Help her/him to be diligent and steadfast in her/his walk with you, never doubting or wavering. Make her/him strong in spirit and give to her/him an ever increasing faith that always believes that you will answer her/his prayers.

Help her/him to carve out time every day to spend with you in your word and in prayer and praise. May your words abide in her/him so that when she/he prays you will give her/him the desires of her/his heart (John 15:7). Help her/him to increase her/his knowledge of you. May she/he turn to you first for everything as you become her/his constant companion. Give to her/him discernment and revelation and enable her/him to hear your voice instructing her/him. Help her/him to stay focused on you, no matter how great the storm is around her/him, so that she/he never strays off the path you have for her/him. Keep me aware of when she/he needs a fresh filling of your Spirit so that I will be prompted to pray.

It is the desire of her/his heart to be a godly example to her/his friends and family, so give to her/him patience with everyone she/he encounters. Help her/him to be so filled with your Spirit that people sense Your presence when they are in her/his presence. I know she/he wants to serve you, but help her/him to understand when to say no if she/he is being asked to do more than she/he should. May she/he glorify you in all that she/he does.

Your word says that whoever finds you finds life and obtains your favor (Proverbs 8:35), so I pray that

_______________will find a new life in you today and enjoy your blessings poured out upon her/him. Guide her/him in everything she/he does, so that she/he becomes the dynamic, mighty woman/man of God you want her/him to be. Give her/him of your will and enable her/him to stay in the center of it. Help her/him to trust you with all her/his heart and to not depend on her/his own understanding. May she/he acknowledge you in all her/his ways (Proverbs 3:5,6).

Taken from the book, " The Power of a Praying Husband", chapter two, by Stormie Omartian.

Our Heavenly Father,

Thank you for the chance to see your goodness each day....from waking up in the morning and going back to sleep. We know that you have a wonderful plan for us and your promises are greater than this world can offer.

You know our deep desire to be with our loveones and you will continue to sustain us with patience and strength each day. May we live each day doing Your Will for us and may our desires be aligned to your great plan for us.

Continue to teach our hearts to patiently wait. You said that everything we ask in your name, you will give it.....We are claiming that all our prayers will be answered in your own time. May you continue to strengthen our relationship with our loveones and be filled with your grace and unconditional love.

May you continue to bless us all through this wonderful journey with our loveones especially for all of us filing the Fiance Visa.

May you continue to keep our loveones from your mightly protection (especially my one and only Manny). Let our hearts be united though we're miles apart and continuously live in you love. We offer you the highest praise for you are the source of everything.

These things we ask in your Holy Name....Amen

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.
