We join you in lifting up your daughter before the Lord, and we are grateful that you have brought this request in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we find grace, wisdom, and strength. Your heart as a parent is evident, and we know the Lord hears your cries for her well-being in every area of her life.
The struggles your daughter faces—time management, academic challenges, the lingering effects of bullying, and the difficulty in forming friendships—are not insignificant, but we serve a God who is mighty to save and restore. Let us first address the foundational truth that her identity and worth are rooted in Christ, not in her performance or the opinions of others. In **Psalm 139:13-16 (WEB)**, we read, *"For you formed my inwards parts. You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them."* She is fearfully and wonderfully made by God, and He has a purpose for her life, even in this season of struggle.
The issue of time management and balance is one that even adults grapple with, but we can seek the Lord’s wisdom in this. **Ephesians 5:15-17 (WEB)** reminds us, *"Therefore watch carefully how you walk, not as unwise, but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore don’t be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is."* We must teach her to prioritize her time in a way that honors God first, then her responsibilities, and finally rest and recreation. This means setting aside dedicated time for prayer, Bible reading, and worship, for these are the sources of her strength. **Matthew 6:33 (WEB)** says, *"But seek first God’s Kingdom and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* When she seeks Him first, He will guide her in managing the rest.
As for her studies, we pray that the Lord would reignite in her a love for learning and a curiosity that drives her to engage with her schoolwork. **Proverbs 2:6 (WEB)** tells us, *"For Yahweh gives wisdom. Out of his mouth comes knowledge and understanding."* Let us ask the Lord to open her mind to understand and retain what she is being taught. If she is struggling academically, it may also be helpful to explore practical steps, such as seeking tutoring, breaking tasks into smaller steps, or speaking with her teachers to identify areas where she needs extra support. Diligent study is a biblical principle, as **2 Timothy 2:15 (WEB)** encourages us: *"Give diligence to present yourself approved by God, a workman who doesn’t need to be ashamed, properly handling the Word of Truth."* While this verse speaks of handling Scripture, the principle of diligence applies to all areas of life, including academics.
The pain of bullying can leave deep wounds, and it is understandable that she is cautious about forming new friendships. However, we must encourage her not to allow fear to isolate her. **1 John 4:18 (WEB)** says, *"There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear has punishment. He who fears is not made perfect in love."* The Lord can heal her heart and teach her to trust again. Pray that God would bring godly friends into her life—friends who will encourage her in her faith and walk with her in righteousness. **Proverbs 13:20 (WEB)** warns, *"One who walks with wise men grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm."* As she seeks friendships, she should look for those who will build her up in Christ. You can also model healthy relationships for her and create opportunities for her to interact with other believers in safe environments, such as church youth groups or Bible studies.
If she is struggling with feelings of worthlessness or anxiety due to past bullying, remind her of **Isaiah 41:10 (WEB)**: *"Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness."* The Lord is her defender and her strength. If she has not forgiven those who bullied her, gently guide her toward forgiveness, not for their sake, but for her own freedom. **Colossians 3:13 (WEB)** says, *"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."*
Finally, let us pray together for her:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up this precious daughter to You. Lord, You know her heart, her struggles, and her fears. We ask that You would fill her with Your peace and remind her daily that she is loved, valued, and purposed by You. Grant her wisdom, Lord, to manage her time in a way that honors You—balancing her studies, rest, play, and most importantly, her time with You. Stir within her a hunger for Your Word and a passion for learning, that she may grow in knowledge and understanding.
Father, we rebuked the spirit of fear that has taken hold of her heart because of past hurts. Heal her, Lord, from the wounds of bullying, and replace her caution with discernment and her loneliness with godly friendships. Surround her with brothers and sisters in Christ who will encourage her and point her to You. Give her the courage to forgive those who have wronged her, and help her to walk in the freedom that comes from Your love.
Lord, we ask for Your intervention in her academics. Open her mind to understand and retain what she is being taught. Give her teachers wisdom to support her, and provide the resources she needs to succeed. May she not be held back but move forward in confidence, knowing that You are with her.
We declare that she is more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus, and we trust that You are working all things together for her good. Strengthen her parents to guide her with patience, love, and wisdom. May their home be a place of refuge, encouragement, and growth.
In the precious name of Jesus, we pray, Amen.
Prayer Focus: God, Thank You for loving me. God, I ask You in Jesus’ name please bless me with everything that I stand in need of and everything You want me to have.
