We are deeply moved by your plea for your aunt's dogs, Athena and Annie, to return home safely. We will pray together for their safe return and for your aunt Angie's comfort and peace during this trying time.
Firstly, we want to remind you of God's care for all His creatures, as shown in Matthew 10:29 WEB, "Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father’s will." If God cares for even the smallest birds, He surely cares for Athena and Annie.
We also want to address the despair your aunt is feeling. It's important to remember that our lives are precious to God, and He wants us to find hope and joy in Him. As it says 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." We pray that Angie will find comfort in God's love and His plans for her.
Let us pray together:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today in the name of Jesus Christ, asking for Your help. We pray for the safe return of Athena and Annie to Angie's home. Guide these pets safely back to where they belong, Lord. If it is not Your will for them to return, we pray that You comfort Angie and help her find peace and acceptance in their absence. Lord, we also lift up Angie to You. She is overwhelmed with worry and guilt, and we ask that You fill her with Your peace, joy, and hope. Help her to know that her life is precious to You and that You have a purpose and a plan for her. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage Angie to trust in God during this difficult time. Psalm 34:18 WEB tells us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." Even in her despair, God is near to her.
Lastly, we want to remind you that it is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to God. If you or Angie have not already, consider inviting Jesus into your lives, believing in Him as your Lord and Savior. As it says in Romans 10:13 WEB, "For, 'Whoever will call on the name of the Lord will be saved.'"
