Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with [user]'s heartfelt concern for those who are suffering. [User] feels deeply emotional when witnessing the pain and hardship of others, often moved to tears. Their compassionate heart desires to have the resources to help alleviate this suffering, and they seek Your guidance on what to do.
Your Word in Matthew 25:35-40 reminds us of the importance of helping those in need: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me." Lord, we pray that [user] understands that their compassion and empathy are gifts from You, reflecting Your love and care for all people.
We ask for Your wisdom and guidance for [user] as they seek ways to help others. James 1:5 tells us, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you." Grant [user] the wisdom to know how they can make a positive impact, even if they currently lack the resources they wish they had.
Lord, we also pray for strength and comfort for [user], as it can be overwhelming to witness so much suffering. In 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, Your Word says, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." May [user] find comfort in You, and may they be able to share that comfort with others.
We also hold onto Galatians 6:9, which encourages us, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up." Help [user] to remain steadfast in their desire to help others, knowing that their efforts, big or small, are meaningful and valued.
Thank You, Lord, for [user]'s compassionate heart and willingness to help those in need. We pray that You open doors of opportunity for them to serve others and provide the resources needed to make a difference. Guide them, strengthen them, and fill them with Your peace.
In Jesus' name, we pray.
Amen.
