Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with heavy hearts, lifting up our dear one, ###, who is feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. Lord, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). We ask that You surround ### with Your love and peace, reminding them that You are always near and that You never forsake Your children.
Father, we know that Your ways are higher than our ways and Your thoughts higher than our thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). Sometimes, it is difficult to understand why our prayers seem to go unanswered. Yet, we trust in Your perfect timing and Your divine plan for our lives. Help ### to hold on to faith, even when it feels like hope is slipping away.
Lord, Your Word tells us to cast all our anxieties on You because You care for us (1 Peter 5:7). We lay all of ###'s burdens at Your feet, asking for Your intervention in every area of struggle. May Your Holy Spirit comfort and guide, providing wisdom and clarity in the midst of confusion and despair.
We pray that ### will be reminded of Your promises, especially the assurance that You work all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). Strengthen ###'s faith, Lord, and help them to see Your hand at work in their life, even in the smallest of details.
Father, we also ask for the grace to trust in Your goodness, even when circumstances seem bleak. May ### find solace in Your Word, and may their heart be filled with the peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7). Let them know that they are deeply loved and cherished by You, and that You have a plan for their life, a plan to prosper them and not to harm them, to give them hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11).
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
