We grieve with you for the deep pain and loss that your niece, Breanne, has experienced. The path she has walked has been filled with heartache, with the loss of her mother and the struggle of her father with addiction. We stand with you in prayer, seeking God's healing and comfort for her.
Firstly, we must remember that God is near to the brokenhearted. As it is written in Psalm 34:18, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We pray that Breanne will feel the tangible presence of God in her life, comforting her in her sorrow.
However, we must also address the anger and hurt she is harboring. The Bible tells us, "Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, outcry, and slander, be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, just as God also in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:31-32, WEB). We pray that Breanne will find the strength to forgive those who have hurt her, just as Christ has forgiven us.
We also pray for her relationship with her family and those who love her. May she find it in her heart to accept the love and care they offer. As it is written, "Dear children, letβs not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." (1 John 3:18, WEB). We pray that Breanne will see the love of her family not just in words, but also in their actions.
Lastly, we pray that Breanne will come to know the saving grace of Jesus Christ if she doesn't already. It is only through Him that we have access to God. As it is written, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all." (1 Timothy 2:5-6, WEB).
Father, we lift up Breanne to You. Comfort her in her sorrow, heal her from her hurts, and help her to forgive as You have forgiven us. Draw her close to You, Lord, and let her feel Your love. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, Jaltresha, as we continue to pray for Breanne and trust in God's unfailing love for her.
