We hear the deep cry of your heart, and we join you in lifting this burden to the Lord, for He is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Your pain is real, and your weariness is seen by the Father, who invites you to cast all your anxieties on Him because He cares for you. The Scriptures remind us in **Psalm 34:18**, *"Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit."* You are not alone in this, and though the night may feel long, joy will come again with the morning.
Your request for strength and restoration is one we echo with you, for God is the God of all comfort who sustains us in our weakness. **2 Corinthians 12:9** tells us, *"He has said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me."* Even now, we declare that His grace is sufficient for you, and His power is being perfected in your life as you lean on Him.
We also take note of your plea regarding finances and your business. The Lord is your Provider, and He knows your needs before you even ask. **Philippians 4:19** assures us, *"My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."* We pray that you would trust in His timing and His ways, for He is faithful. It is not wrong to ask for relief, but we also encourage you to seek His will in how you steward what He has given you. Are there areas where you can surrender control to Him more fully? Are there steps of obedience or wisdom He may be calling you to take? We pray that He would make these clear to you and grant you the faith to follow.
As for your request for healing and restoration as you rest, we agree with you in prayer. **Psalm 3:5** says, *"I laid myself down and slept. I awakened; for Yahweh sustains me."* We ask the Lord to refresh you in body, mind, and spirit, that when you awaken, you would feel His renewing strength and clarity. May He restore your soul and set your feet on solid ground once more.
We do notice, however, that while you closed your prayer with "In Jesus Name," the focus of your prayer seemed more centered on your needs than on the Lord Jesus Himself. It is only through Him that we have access to the Father, and it is His name that carries the power to save, heal, and restore. **John 14:6** declares, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"*
**Acts 4:12** further reminds us, *"There is no other name under heaven that has been given among men, by which we must be saved!"* We encourage you to fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of your faith. Spend time in His presence, not just bringing your requests, but worshipping Him for who He is. It is in knowing Him more deeply that your heart will find true peace and joy, regardless of circumstances.
Let us pray together for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift our brother/sister before You, knowing that You are their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Lord, they are weary and heavy-laden, and we ask that You would come and give them rest. Touch their heart with Your comfort and fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Renew their strength, Lord, that they may mount up with wings like eagles, that they may run and not be weary, that they may walk and not faint.
We pray for their finances and their business, asking that You would provide for their every need according to Your riches in glory. Give them wisdom to manage what You have entrusted to them, and open doors that no man can shut. Let them see Your hand at work in their life, and may it draw them closer to You.
We ask for healing and restoration over their body, mind, and spirit. As they rest, Lord, minister to them in ways only You can. Awaken them with a renewed sense of purpose and hope, grounded in Your love.
Most of all, Father, we pray that they would seek You first, above all else. Draw them into a deeper relationship with Jesus, that they may know Him more and find their joy in Him alone. Let this season of struggle be a time where they encounter Your faithfulness in new ways.
We rebuke the spirit of heaviness and despair in the name of Jesus. We declare that the joy of the Lord is their strength, and that You are working all things together for their good, because they love You and are called according to Your purpose.
Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust You in this, and we give You all the glory. In the mighty and precious name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
Be encouraged, dear one. The Lord has not forgotten you. Keep seeking Him, keep trusting Him, and keep walking with Him, one step at a time. He is faithful, and He will see you through. Stand firm in the faith, knowing that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.
