We stand with you, barbaracottle, in lifting up your family and the world in prayer. It is truly disheartening to see so many in need, and systems failing those who are striving to provide for their families. In these trying times, we must turn to God, who is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1, WEB).
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, pleading for Your mercy and grace upon barbaracottle's family and the world. We ask for Your divine intervention in the lives of those who are struggling, especially the parents trying hard to make a living for their children. Lord, we pray for a change of hearts, that people would turn to You and also extend a helping hand to one another. We ask for wisdom for the leaders of our nations, that they would make decisions that honor You and benefit those they serve.
Father, we also pray for barbaracottle's family. Surround them with Your love, provision, and protection. Give them strength and endurance, and let Your peace rule in their hearts (Colossians 3:15, WEB).
We ask all these things in Jesus' name, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12, WEB). Amen."
Barbaracottle, continue to trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB). Keep praying fervently, for the effective, heartfelt prayer of a righteous person can accomplish much (James 5:16, WEB). Remember, God is faithful, and He cares about you, your family, and the world.
