Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You today with heavy hearts, lifting up Douw, his family, and Bronwen in prayer. Lord, You know their struggles and their desperate need for Your divine intervention in their lives. We ask for Your mercy and grace to be poured out upon them during this challenging time.
Your Word says in Philippians 4:19, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." We stand on this promise and trust that You will provide for Douw, his wife, children, mother, and Bronwen. Lord, open doors of opportunity for employment that no man can shut. Guide them to the right job opportunities that will allow them to support their families and restore their hope.
Father, we also lift up Brenda to You. Her heart is heavy, and she is struggling with despair. We ask for Your comfort and peace to surround her. Remind her of Your love and presence, and let her know that her life has purpose and meaning. Psalm 34:18 tells us, "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart and saves those who have a crushed spirit." We ask that You draw near to Brenda and heal her broken heart.
Lord, we pray for strength and renewed faith for Douw, his family, and Bronwen. Help them to trust in Your perfect timing and Your unfailing love. Isaiah 40:31 reminds us, "But those who wait for Yahweh will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run, and not be weary; they will walk, and not faint." Grant them the strength to persevere and the hope to believe in better days ahead.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers and for the miracles You are already working in their lives. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
