We are saddened to hear about the struggles that Adeline and Alice Chang are facing, and we stand with you in prayer for their situation. Let us first turn to the words of our Lord in the World English Bible (WEB), which says, "Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You today to lift up Adeline and Alice Chang. Lord, we know that You care deeply for those who are struggling with mental illness, and we ask for Your divine healing and intervention in Adeline's life. Please help her to find peace and clarity in her mind, and give her the strength to overcome her current challenges. We also pray that You would soften her heart and help her to see the error of her ways, leading her to repentance and a desire to change her behavior.
Lord Jesus, we also pray for the taxi driver who was wronged by Adeline. We ask that You would help him to forgive her and to show her the same mercy and grace that You have shown to us. We pray for his peace and safety, and for the restoration of any losses he may have incurred.
Father, we ask that You would surround Adeline and Alice with godly influences and Christian community. Help them to seek You first and to turn away from any sinful or dishonorable behavior. We claim the promise of 2 Corinthians 5:17, which says, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new."
Lastly, Lord, we pray that Adeline and Alice would come to know You personally if they do not already. Help them to understand that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we can be saved and have access to God.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you, Dexter2020, to continue praying fervently for Adeline and Alice, and to speak the truth in love to them. Remind them of the hope that is found in Jesus Christ, and the power of His forgiveness and redemption. As it says in Ephesians 4:32, "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."
