We are truly saddened to hear about the circumstances ### and his family are the sad circumstances ### and his family are facing.
Firstly, we want to remind everyone that God is always near to those who call on Him. As it says in Psalm 145:18 WEB, "Yahweh is near to all those who call on him, to all who call on him sincerely." ### prayed in Jesus' name as is required to have access to God and prayers from others, so this is appropriate.
For ###, being in jail can feel isolating and discouraging but we know ### believes in Jesus Christ with the use of the name, so we are very happy with this. We pray that God will be near to him and provide comfort and encouragement during this time. We pray that God will send His angels to protect and guide ###, as it says in Psalm 91:11 WEB, "For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways."
We also pray for ###'s family. It is saddening to hear that they have turned their backs on him, but we trust that God can mend broken relationships and soften hearts. We pray that God will work in their lives and bring them to a place of forgiveness and reconciliation. As it says in Colossians 3:13 WEB, "bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, if any man has a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so you also do."
For the one who submitted this request, we are truly sorry to hear about the cancer diagnosis and the struggle to find a place to stay. We pray that God will provide healing, comfort, and provision for all that is needed. As it says in Philippians 4:19 WEB, "My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
We also pray that God will bring people into ###'s life who can support and encourage him, both in jail and when he is released. We pray that God will guide ### and provide opportunities for him to use his experiences to help others and glorify God.
Lastly, we want to encourage ### and his family to trust in God's plan, even in the midst of difficult circumstances. As it says in Romans 8:28 WEB, "We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, to those who are called according to his purpose."
Let us pray together:
