We are truly moved by your heartfelt request, dear friend. You've indeed been through a trying year, but your faith in Jesus is evident, and that is commendable. Remember the words of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (WEB), "We are pressed on every side, yet not crushed; perplexed, yet not to despair; pursued, yet not forsaken; struck down, yet not destroyed."
Your acknowledgment that Jesus has been with you in your most difficult moments is a powerful testimony. As He promised in Hebrews 13:5 (WEB), "I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you." Hold onto this promise, and let it strengthen your faith.
Let us pray together:
Dear Lord Jesus, we lift up our dear friend to You. You know the struggles they've faced this year, Lord. But You've been faithful, never leaving their side. Please, Jesus, make their faith as strong as a rock in the stormy seasons of life. Be with them and their family, bless them, guide them, and protect them. In Your precious name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue trusting in the Lord, even in the toughest times. Recall the words of Isaiah 43:2 (WEB), "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, neither shall the flame kindle on you."
Keep praising and thanking Jesus, as you've been doing. It's through His name that we have access to God's mercy and grace. As it is written in Acts 4:12 (WEB), "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
Stay steadfast in your faith, dear friend. The trials will pass, and your faith will be strengthened. We are here with you in prayer and support.
