Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with heavy hearts, lifting up ### in prayer. Lord, we ask for Your comfort and peace to surround ###, who is grieving the tragic loss of a close friend. Your Word tells us in Psalm 34:18 that You are close to the brokenhearted and save those who are crushed in spirit. Please, Lord, be near to ### in this time of sorrow.
Father, we also bring before You the pressing needs of ###'s family. The loss of food stamps has created a dire situation, and we ask for Your provision. Philippians 4:19 reminds us that You will meet all our needs according to the riches of Your glory in Christ Jesus. We trust in Your promise and ask that You provide for ### and the children, ensuring they have enough to eat and their needs are met.
Lord, ### is feeling worn down, hurt, and sad. We ask for Your strength to uphold them. Isaiah 40:31 says that those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. May ### find renewed strength and hope in You, rising on wings like eagles, running and not growing weary, walking and not being faint.
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
