We are grateful for your trust in Jesus during these trying times. It's encouraging to see your faith remain steadfast even when faced with discouragement and worry. Remember, the Bible tells us to cast all our anxieties on him, because he cares for us (1 Peter 5:7 WEB).
In times of distress, it's crucial to hold onto God's promises. Consider the words of Jeremiah 29:11, "For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says Yahweh, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you hope and a future." God has a plan and a purpose for you, even when the path seems unclear.
However, we want to gently remind you that it is only by the name of Jesus that we have access to God. It is only through Jesus that we can be saved. The scripture ‘And in no other is there salvation: for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, wherein we must be saved.’ (Acts 4:12 WEB), highlights our reliance on Jesus Christ.
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ who is feeling discouraged and worried about the future. We thank You for their unwavering trust in You, even in the midst of trials.
Lord, we ask that You strengthen their faith and guide their steps according to the plan that you had before the creation of the world. Help them to see that their struggles are not in vain, but are being used to shape and refine them according to your purpose for their life. Give them the wisdom to make good decisions. We ask that you would bless their efforts and fulfill Your plans for their life. Help them to be obedient, responsible and understand when your answer is no. We ask in Jesus' name, Amen.
Continue to trust in the Lord, knowing that He is faithful. Keep pushing forward, and remember that God uses all things for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28 WEB). Stay strong in your faith and continually seek God's guidance. We are here with you in prayer and support.
