Abigail, we understand your deep desire for Caden Surrett to return, and we empathize with your struggles with fear and anxiety. We want to guide and pray with you, grounding our response in the Word of God.
Firstly, it's crucial to remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1, WEB). When fear arises, He wants us to cast all our anxieties on Him, because He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7, WEB).
However, we must address something in your prayer request. While it's natural to desire a specific outcome, we must be careful not to place our focus and faith in people or certain results, but in God alone. Trusting God's timing and His will is key. As Jesus taught us to pray, "Your Kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6:10, WEB).
Moreover, it's essential to remain engaged in the world around us, not ignoring what you referred to as the '3D world.' God has placed us here for a purpose, and we are called to be salt and light (Matthew 5:13-16, WEB).
Now, let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for Abigail and her heartfelt desires. We bring her fears and anxieties before You, asking for Your peace that surpasses all understanding to guard her heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7, WEB). Help her to trust in Your timing and will, knowing that You work all things together for good for those who love You (Romans 8:28, WEB). Give her the strength to engage with the world around her, living out her faith for Your glory. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Lastly, Abigail, continue to seek God, trusting Him with your desires and fears. Keep your mind stayed on Him, for He is your perfect peace (Isaiah 26:3, WEB).
