Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up our dear brother Gwaerwethen who has recently retired and is experiencing deep depression. Lord, we ask for Your divine intervention in his life, especially as he faces division within his family. We pray for Your peace, love, and understanding to fill their hearts and home.
Your Word says in Philippians 4:6-7, "Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." We claim this promise for Gwaerwethen and his family, asking that Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, will guard their hearts and minds.
Lord, we also remember Your words in Psalm 55:22, "Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He shall sustain you: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved." We cast all of Gwaerwethen's burdens upon You, trusting that You will sustain him and bring healing to his family.
We pray for reconciliation and unity, that they may experience the love and grace that only You can provide. May Your Holy Spirit work mightily in their lives, bringing them closer to each other and to You.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
