We are deeply saddened to hear about the sudden loss of Manuel Zozobrado’s wife and the resulting depression he is experiencing. Our hearts go out to him and his sons, Eman and Wilman, during this difficult time. We stand with them in prayer, seeking God's comfort and healing.
In times of great sorrow, we find solace in the words of the Psalmist: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and saves those who are crushed in spirit" (Psalm 34:18, WEB). God is near to Manuel and his family, offering His compassion and strength.
We also turn to the promise in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds." We pray that God will heal Manuel's broken heart and bind up the wounds of his soul. May the Holy Spirit bring comfort and peace to him and his sons.
Furthermore, we remind Manuel of the hope we have in Jesus Christ. In John 14:1-3, Jesus says, "Don't let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me. In my Father's house are many homes. If it weren't so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and will receive you to myself; that where I am, you may be there also." This promise of eternal life and reunion gives us hope even in the darkest of times.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Manuel Zozobrado and his sons, Eman and Wilman. Father, we ask for Your divine comfort and healing to surround them during this time of mourning. Please heal Manuel from his depression and fill him with Your peace and hope. Strengthen his faith and help him to trust in Your unfailing love. We also pray for Eman and Wilman, that they may find courage and hope in You. May they know Your presence and love in a deeper way. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Manuel, remember that God is with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). Turn to Him in your time of need, and He will be your refuge and strength. If you or your family do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, we encourage you to seek Him, for it is only through Him that we have access to God and eternal life (John 14:6, Acts 4:12). May the love of God surround you and bring you healing and hope.
