Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear sister who is in desperate need of Your peace and strength. Lord, she has sacrificed so much for her child and is now worn to pieces. Her heart is heavy with the constant belittlement from the child's father and the pain of her child's actions.
Father, we ask that You surround her with Your love and comfort. Grant her the peace that surpasses all understanding, as promised in Philippians 4:7. Help her to find rest in You, knowing that You are her refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble .
Lord, we pray for her child, that You would touch their heart and lead them away from lying and stealing. Bring healing and restoration to their relationship. We also ask that You soften the heart of the child's father, that he may speak words of kindness and encouragement.
Father, give our sister the courage to continue, knowing that You are with her every step of the way. Remind her of Your promise in Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus says, "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
