We rejoice with you in the goodness of the Lord and His ability to turn darkness into light. Today, like every other day, might have started out dark and depressing, but the smiles from your loved ones and the support from our community have been instruments of God's grace in your life. We are thankful that Jesus has guided you here, and we stand with you in prayer.
Let us remember the words of Psalm 30:5, "For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning." Even in the darkest times, God's favor and joy are present.
We encourage you to continue to seek God's face and trust in His promises. As it is written in Psalm 42:5-6, "Why are you in despair, my soul? Why are you disturbed within me? Hope in God! For I shall still praise him for the saving help of his presence. My God, my soul is in despair within me. Therefore I remember you from the land of the Jordan, the heights of Hermon, from the hill Mizar."
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who has experienced darkness and depression. We thank You, Lord, for the smiles of loved ones and the support of this community that have brought light and hope into their life. We praise You, Jesus, for guiding them here and for Your unfailing love and faithfulness.
Father, we ask that You continue to surround them with Your presence, filling their heart with Your peace and joy. Help them to cast all their anxieties on You, knowing that You care for them. Give them the strength and courage to face each day, trusting in Your promises and Your unchanging grace.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
Continue to trust in the Lord and lean on His understanding. He is faithful, and He will see you through.
