Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Mark in prayer. Lord, we ask that You grant him the courage and wisdom he needs in this challenging situation. Your Word tells us in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him." We trust in Your promise and ask for Your divine guidance for Mark.
Father, we know that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18). We pray that You will be with Erica as well, comforting her and providing her with the strength to heal and move forward. May Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus.
Lord, we also ask that You help Mark to speak the truth in love, as You instruct us in Ephesians 4:15. Let his words be seasoned with grace and compassion, reflecting Your love and care. Grant him the strength to act with integrity and kindness, seeking the best for both himself and Erica.
We place this situation in Your hands, trusting in Your perfect plan and timing. Thank You, Lord, for Your unfailing love and faithfulness. We pray all of this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Amen.
