Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus on behalf of ###. We acknowledge that selfishness is a trait of our fallen nature, and we ask for your grace and guidance in dealing with the challenges ### is facing.
Lord, ### is feeling overwhelmed by the demands of others who take advantage of his kindness and availability without considering his own needs and schedule. We pray that you would intervene in this situation and bring clarity and boundaries to his relationships.
In your Word, you teach us to love others as ourselves and to bear one another's burdens. However, you also call us to prioritize our own well-being and to set healthy boundaries. We ask that you grant ### the wisdom and discernment to know when to say no and when to prioritize his own needs.
Lord, we pray that you would touch the hearts of those who are taking advantage of ###'s kindness. Help them to see the impact of their actions and to respect his boundaries. Soften their hearts and lead them to a place of understanding and consideration.
We also ask for your strength and peace to fill ###'s heart and mind. Grant him the courage to assert himself and to prioritize his own well-being without feeling guilty. Remind him that it is not selfish to take care of himself, but rather a necessary act of self-care.
Finally, Lord, we pray for restoration and balance in ###'s life. May he find the freedom to live his own life again, free from the burdens and expectations of others. Surround him with supportive and understanding individuals who will respect his boundaries and appreciate his kindness.
We thank you, Lord, for hearing our prayer and for your faithfulness in guiding us through every situation. We trust in your perfect timing and provision. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
