Lawaich, we are with you in spirit and in prayer as you navigate through this challenging time in your life. We understand that you're facing a multitude of trials as a nursing student, battling anxiety and depression, and experiencing financial strain. We want to encourage you and remind you that God is always near, as it is written in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."
Firstly, we want to lift up your struggles with anxiety and depression to the Lord. God cares about your emotional well-being, and He wants to help you bear these burdens. In 1 Peter 5:7, we are told to cast all our anxiety on Him because He cares for us. Let us pray together:
"Father, we come before You, lifting up Lawaich. We ask, in Jesus' name, for You to fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding, guarding their heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Help them to cast all their anxiety on You, knowing that You care for them deeply. Comfort them, Lord, and help them to overcome this battle with depression."
Next, we pray for your academic endeavors. God wants to help you in your studies and to use your skills as a nurse for His glory. Colossians 3:23-24 tells us, "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." Let's pray:
"Lord Jesus, we ask for Your help and wisdom upon Lawaich in their nursing studies. Help them to understand complex concepts and to excel in their coursework. Grant them the ability to handle their responsibilities with grace and diligence, knowing that they are ultimately serving You in their career."
Lastly, we address your financial struggles. God is faithful and able to provide for all your needs. In Philippians 4:19, we are assured, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Let us pray:
"Heavenly Father, we ask that You provide for Lawaich's financial needs. Help them to trust in You and to be a good steward of the resources You provide. Open doors and make a way where there seems to be no way, Father, as only You can do."
Lawaich, we noticed that you did not mention the name of Jesus in your request. It is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:6, "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" We pray that you will come to know Him personally and experience the saving grace He offers.
May you feel God's presence and peace as you journey through this challenging season. Trust in Him, and He will see you through. Amen.
