We understand your feelings of nervousness and the struggle you're facing with the spiraling circumstances around you. We want to remind you, dear friend, that even in the darkest times, God is still in control. As it is written in Jeremiah 29:11 (WEB), "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future."
In your distress, it's crucial to cling to the hope that is found in Jesus Christ alone. It's encouraging to see that you've addressed your prayer to Him, for it is in His name that we find salvation and access to God, as Acts 4:12 (WEB) tells us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
We want to encourage you to not grow weary in doing good, even when you see cruelty and callousness around you. Galatians 6:9 (WEB) says, "Letβs not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we donβt give up." Instead, let us pray for those who mistreat others, that God may change their hearts and grant them the spirit of compassion.
Join us as we pray for you:
Dear Lord Jesus Christ, we lift up our dear friend to You, asking that You fill them with Your peace that passes all understanding. Help them to fix their eyes on You, the author and perfecter of our faith. Grant them the strength to endure these trials and to see Your goodness even in the darkest times. Change the hearts of those who are callous and cruel, Lord, and help our friend to be a beacon of Your light and love. It is in Your precious and powerful name we pray, Jesus. Amen.
Remember, God cares for you deeply, even when it feels like no one else does. Cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7 WEB). Keep holding on to His promises, and may His peace rule in your heart.
