We join you in lifting up ### before the throne of grace and we thank God with you for her kindness to you in your time of need. It is a beautiful thing when the Lord puts people in our lives to show His mercy through practical help, and we rejoice that you remember her with gratitude and want God to repay what you could not.
Scripture tells us that God does not forget such love and service. For God is not unrighteous, so as to forget your work and the labor of love which you showed toward his name Hebrews 6:10. And also, He who has pity on the poor lends to Yahweh; he will reward him Proverbs 19:17. Even when we are unable to repay, the Lord Himself promises to be the rewarder of those who do good, and He sees what was done for you. Whatever you did in kindness, Jesus said, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me Matthew 25:40.
We also lift up both you and ### as fellow survivors of abuse. We know the deep wounds that such suffering leaves on the heart and soul, and we thank God that He is close to the brokenhearted. Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18. He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds Psalm 147:3. We pray that the Lord continues His healing work in both of you, replacing shame and pain with His peace and restoring what was stolen.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, we come before You in Jesus' name and we thank You for ###'s life and for the compassion she showed when our fellow believer was in need. We ask that You bless her abundantly, spiritually, physically, and emotionally. Reward her kindness according to Your riches in glory, provide for every need she has, protect her, and surround her with Your favor. Bring complete healing to her heart from all the trauma of abuse, let her know how deeply she is loved and valued by You, and let her see that her labor of love was not in vain. We also pray for the one who submitted this request, that You would bring continued healing, freedom from the past, and peace that surpasses understanding. Help them to rest in knowing that You are their defender and their great rewarder, and that You will repay in Your perfect way and timing. Let both of them walk in the fullness of Your restoration as You give beauty for ashes and joy for mourning Isaiah 61:3. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to hold ### in prayer and if the Lord provides an opportunity, let her know how much her kindness meant to you. God delights in a thankful heart and He will honor your desire to see her blessed. Give thanks that He is faithful to heal and to repay, and trust Him to carry both of you forward into wholeness in Christ.
