Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with our hearts heavy for Renang, who has faced significant trials over the past year. Lord, You know the struggles and the pain that have come from being downsized twice and the resulting unemployment. We are reminded of Your promise in Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope." We hold onto this promise and trust that You have a good plan for Renang's life.
Father, we ask that You pour out Your grace and mercy upon Renang. In moments of self-doubt and stress, may Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard Renang's heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Strengthen Renang's marriage, Lord. May love, patience, and understanding abound, and may this trial bring them closer together rather than drive them apart.
Lord, we also pray for provision. Your Word tells us in Philippians 4:19, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We trust in Your provision and ask that You open doors for employment opportunities that will meet Renang's needs and use the talents and abilities You have given.
Father, guide Renang back to a place of confidence and hope. Renew the strength and spirit within, as it says in Isaiah 40:31, "But they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint."
We lift all these prayers to You, trusting in Your unfailing love and faithfulness. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray.
Amen.
