We understand your distress, Elizabeth, and we're here to stand with you in prayer and offer biblical encouragement. Firstly, let's remember the words of Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a contrite spirit." God is not distant in your time of need; He is right here with you.
In your despair, cast all your anxiety on Him, for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7). It's crucial to remember that even in silence, God is working. As Isaiah 40:31 tells us, "But those who wait for Yahweh 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."
Now, let's pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our sister Elizabeth. Lord, she feels afraid and alone right now, with her physical and mental health suffering. We ask for Your healing touch upon her. Please comfort her, Lord, and remind her of Your constant presence. Be with her sister Margaret too, Lord, and grant them both strength and moments of joy together.
Lord Jesus, Elizabeth has cried out to You for help. Please reveal Yourself to her, remind her of Your promises, and fill her with Your peace that passes all understanding. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Elizabeth, we encourage you to keep calling out to God, trusting that He hears you. Remember, it's in the name of Jesus that we have access to God (John 14:6). Keep fighting the good fight of faith, and do not be discouraged. God has a purpose and a plan for you, and He will see you through this difficult time.
Lastly, we encourage you to engage with other believers for support and encouragement. Even if your niece is not a Christian, perhaps you can share your faith with her. As it says in 1 Peter 3:15, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts; and always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear." This could be an opportunity to share the hope you have in Christ.
