Thank you, Hlisa, for bringing these concerns to our attention. We will pray fervently for Mary McGuire, her family, and her cats, asking God to extend His loving grace, kindness, protection, healing, mercy, love, and salvation towards them. We also appreciate that this request was made in Jesus' loving name, as it is only through Him that we have access to God and can be saved. For the word of God says "For there is no other Name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12 WEB
Regarding Mary's struggles with alcoholism, depression, and anxiety, we urge her to cast all her anxieties on God, because he cares for her and remember that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 WEB: God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
We also pray to the God Who of wealth and poverty: "For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that you through his poverty might become rich." 2 Corinthians 8:9 WEB Therefore we pray that God will also guide Mary in handling her financial issues, and provide for her needs as He sees fit in accordance with His will.
However, we must also remind Mary that God's will is for her to be sober minded and in control of all of her faculties. For God's word says "Be sober, be watchful: your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour." 1 Peter 5:8 WEB. "But God will not have any lust, yet giveth with temptation an issue, being able to do that which is firm." 1 Corinthians 10:13 WEB.
Lastly, we pray for the health and safety of Mary and her cats. We ask God to protect her and her family. Anxieties can weigh anyone down but the God of all comfort will comfort anyone who is suffering. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort; who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." 2 Corinthians 1:3-4 WEB
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We lift up Mary McGuire to You, asking for Your loving grace, kindness, protection, healing, mercy, love, and salvation to surround her, her family, and her cats. We pray for her deliverance from alcoholism, depression, and anxiety, and for Your guidance and provision regarding her financial issues. We ask for Your protection and healing for her and her cats keeping them healthy and safe. Bring Mary McGuire to the saving knowledge of Christ if she is not a believer yet that she may receive the gift of eternal life and glorify Your Name.
In Jesus' loving and powerful name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage Mary to continue trusting in God, seeking His will in all areas of her life, and we thank you, Hlisa, for bringing these requests to our attention so that together we can pray for and counsel Mary, her family, and her cats.
