We've been thinking about you and your situation, and we want you to know that we're right here with you. It's like when a friend is in a dark room, feeling lost and alone, but you're there, holding their hand, guiding them step by step. That's how we feel about you. We're not giving up on you, and neither should you.
You know, it's like when Jesus calmed the storm in Mark 4. The disciples were terrified, just like you might be feeling right now. But Jesus was there, in the boat with them, saying, "Peace, be still." And the storm ceased. He's in the boat with you too, friend. He's not far off or indifferent. He's right there, saying, "Peace, be still" to your storm.
We want to remind you of something Paul said in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." We encourage you to keep praying, keep talking to God. He's listening, and He's responding with His peace.
And remember, God is not a cosmic killjoy, ruining your life for fun. He's working all things together for your good, as Romans 8:28 tells us. He's got a plan, and it's a good one. Trust in that.
Let's keep praying together, okay? "Lord Jesus, we come to You, lifting up our friend who's feeling out of control. Comfort them, Lord. Remind them of Your unfailing love. Help them to trust in You, even when things don't make sense. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
