Heavenly Father,
We come before You today in the precious name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We lift up Selarea to Your throne of grace, seeking Your divine intervention and comfort in her life. Your Word tells us in Philippians 4:6-7, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." We ask that You grant Selarea this peace that surpasses all understanding, calming her anxious heart and lifting the weight of depression from her spirit.
Lord, we know that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and we ask for Your guidance and strength for Selarea as she seeks to manage her weight. Help her to make wise choices in her diet and exercise, and grant her the discipline and perseverance needed to achieve her health goals. May she find comfort in knowing that she is fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalm 139:14), and that her worth is found in You alone.
We also bring before You Selarea's friends who are struggling with health issues. Your Word assures us in James 5:15 that "the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise them up." We pray for Your healing touch upon their bodies, minds, and spirits. Grant them strength, comfort, and hope during this challenging time. May they experience Your presence and know that You are the Great Physician, capable of all things.
Lord, we trust in Your perfect will and timing. We ask that You provide Selarea and her friends with the support and encouragement they need from their community and loved ones. Help them to lean on You and to find solace in Your promises.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
