We understand your concern for your niece Starr and we are here to lift her up in prayer together. The Bible tells us, "Don't be anxious for anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB)
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today lifting up Starr. Lord, You know the concern in her heart and we ask that You comfort her and give her Your perfect peace. Help her to cast all her anxieties on You, knowing that You care for her. (1 Peter 5:7 WEB) We ask that You protect her body and calm her mind. We pray this in Jesus' name, amen.
Pleneld, it's important to remind Starr that God is always with her, even in moments of distress. Encourage her to fix her thoughts on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, and admirable, as Philippians 4:8 advises. If Starr is not already trusting in Jesus Christ, this could be an opportunity to share the gospel with her and assure her that through faith in Jesus, she can have a personal relationship with God and experience His peace even in difficult times.
Lastly, we gently remind you, Pleneld, that anxiety can be a sign of a lack of trust in God's sovereignty. Encourage Starr to deepen her trust in the Lord, and may this situation draw her closer to Him. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6 WEB)
