Heavenly Father, we come before You with a heart that is heavy with burdens, lifting up Your child in prayer. Lord, You see the struggles they are facing right nowโtheir auntโs serious illness, the difficulties with finances and finding a job, the grief of losing their mother, and the weight of depression. We ask that You draw near to them in this challenging time, as Your Word promises, โThe Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spiritโ (Psalm 34:18).
Father, we pray for healing for their aunt, who is still in the ICU. We thank You for the progress she has made in responding, and we ask that Your healing touch continue to rest upon her body. Your Word says, โI am the Lord who heals youโ (Exodus 15:26). We trust in Your power to bring strength and restoration, and we ask for Your peace to comfort her and her loved ones during this time.
Lord, we lift up their financial needs to You, specifically the $510 still required for their security deposit. You know the weight of this need, and we trust that You are Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. Your Word reassures us, โAnd my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesusโ (Philippians 4:19). We ask that You open doors and provide the resources needed, that they may find relief from this burden.
We also ask for guidance and opportunities in their job search. Father, lead them to the right position that aligns with their skills and passions. As it is written, โThe steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in his wayโ (Psalm 37:23). Let them sense Your hand guiding them through each step, bringing hope and direction during this time of uncertainty.
Lord, we pray for comfort as they grieve the loss of their mother. The pain of losing a loved one can be so overwhelming, but we trust in Your promise, โBlessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comfortedโ (Matthew 5:4). Wrap them in Your love, and give them the strength to carry on, knowing that You are with them every step of the way.
Father, we ask for Your light to break through the darkness of depression that they are experiencing. Lift the heaviness from their heart, and replace it with the joy of Your presence. Your Word says, โThe joy of the Lord is your strengthโ (Nehemiah 8:10). May they find strength in You, even in the midst of their struggles, and may Your peace fill their mind and heart.
Thank You, Lord, for Your faithfulness and for never leaving or forsaking us, as You have promised in Hebrews 13:5. We place these needs into Your capable hands, trusting in Your perfect timing and love. In the name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
