Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with heavy hearts, lifting up Shabrim in prayer. Lord, You see the confusion and the weariness that Shabrim is experiencing. Your Word tells us in 1 Peter 5:7 to "cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." Father, we ask that You would bring peace and clarity to Shabrim's mind and heart.
Lord, we pray against the schemes of those who seek to take advantage of Shabrim. Your Word in Isaiah 54:17 declares, "No weapon formed against you shall prosper." We stand on this promise, asking that You would protect Shabrim from deceit and exploitation. Grant wisdom and discernment to recognize and avoid those who would cause harm.
We also lift up Manny to You, Lord. We know that mental health struggles can be overwhelming, but Your Word in 2 Corinthians 12:9 reminds us that Your grace is sufficient and Your power is made perfect in weakness. We pray that Manny would experience Your healing touch and find the peace and joy that only You can provide.
Father, we ask that You would lift the burden of responsibility that Shabrim feels for Manny’s happiness. Help Shabrim to understand that true joy and peace come from You alone. Philippians 4:6-7 encourages us, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Lord, we pray for strength, rest, and renewal for Shabrim. In the midst of exhaustion and stress, may Shabrim find solace in Your presence. Psalm 46:1 declares, "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." Let this truth be a source of comfort and assurance.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for the love and care You have for Shabrim and Manny. We trust in Your perfect plan and timing, and we ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
