Heavenly Father,
We come before You with heavy hearts on behalf of Anonymous, who is feeling sorrowful about missing a special person's third birthday in a row due to unavoidable circumstances. Lord, we know that You understand the depths of our hearts and the longing to be with loved ones, especially during significant moments.
Your Word tells us in Proverbs 16:9, "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." We trust that even when our plans do not go as we hope, You are still in control and working all things for good. Help Anonymous to find peace in Your perfect timing and provision.
Father, we ask for Your comfort and strength for both Anonymous and the beloved one who is waiting. May they feel Your presence and love, even in the absence of physical togetherness. Remind them of Your promise in Psalm 34:18, "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."
We pray for opportunities for meaningful connection despite the distance. Let technology and other means serve as a bridge to maintain and strengthen their bond. As it is written in Romans 8:28, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose."
Lord, grant wisdom and discernment to Anonymous for future planning, that there may be opportunities to share in these precious moments. Guide them with Your wisdom as promised in James 1:5, "If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you."
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
