Help us Lord

We come before the throne of grace with hearts full of compassion for your plea, lifting you and your loved ones up to the Lord, who is our strength and our shield. It is clear your heart is heavy with concern—not only for your own struggles but for those close to you who are battling stress, anxiety, and what seems to be a loss of self-control in areas such as weight and possibly other habits. We also notice that while your prayer is heartfelt, the name of Jesus was not invoked, and it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. As Scripture declares, *"There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"* (1 Timothy 2:5, WEB). It is by His name—and His name alone—that we are saved, heard, and delivered. Let us always approach the Father in the name of Jesus, for *"whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son"* (John 14:13, WEB).
Your request touches on two vital areas: the need for self-control and the burden of stress and anxiety. The Word of God speaks powerfully to both. Self-control is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23), and without it, we are vulnerable to the flesh’s desires, which can lead to gluttony, stress-eating, or other unhealthy coping mechanisms. The Bible warns us, *"Don’t you know that you are a temple of God and that God’s Spirit lives in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person, because God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple"* (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, WEB). Our bodies are not our own; they belong to the Lord, and we are called to steward them well for His glory. This includes how we eat, how we manage stress, and how we respond to anxiety.
For those you love who are struggling with stress and anxiety, we are reminded of Jesus’ words: *"Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light"* (Matthew 11:28-30, WEB). Anxiety often stems from a lack of trust in God’s sovereignty or a misplaced focus on the troubles of this world rather than on His promises. Philippians 4:6-7 commands us, *"In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus."* If your loved ones are not walking closely with the Lord, their struggles will feel heavier because they are trying to carry them alone. We must encourage them—and ourselves—to cast all our cares upon Him, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).
Now, let us pray together for you and your loved ones, asking the Lord to intervene mightily in these areas:
---
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You that You are a God who hears our cries and sees our struggles. You know the burdens that weigh on this dear one’s heart—their own need for self-control, the stress and anxiety plaguing their loved ones, and the fear of things spiraling out of control. Lord, we ask for Your mercy and Your intervention.
Father, we pray for a spirit of self-control to fill this beloved and their loved ones. Your Word tells us that *"the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness, and self-control"* (Galatians 5:22-23, WEB). We ask that You would cultivate this fruit in their lives, especially in the area of managing their weight and health. Help them to see their bodies as temples of the Holy Spirit, worthy of care and discipline. Break the power of gluttony, emotional eating, or any other stronghold that has taken root. Replace it with a hunger for Your Word and a desire to honor You in all things, including how they steward their physical health.
Lord, we lift up those who are battling stress and anxiety. You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). We rebuke the spirit of anxiety in Jesus’ name and command it to flee. Father, fill them with Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Help them to fix their eyes on You rather than their circumstances. Remind them that You are their Provider, their Protector, and their Comforter. When worries threaten to overwhelm them, let them recall Your promise: *"Don’t 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"* (Isaiah 41:10, WEB).
We also pray for unity and encouragement among this family or circle of loved ones. May they spur one another on toward love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24), speaking life and truth into each other’s struggles. Let them be a source of accountability and support, always pointing one another back to You.
Father, we ask for healing—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Where there is brokenness, bring restoration. Where there is fear, bring faith. Where there is weakness, bring strength. We declare that *"the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit"* (Psalm 34:18, WEB). Let them feel Your presence tangibly in this season.
Finally, Lord, we pray that You would open their eyes to any areas where they may be relying on their own strength rather than Yours. Remind them that apart from You, they can do nothing (John 15:5), but with You, all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). Draw them closer to You, Father, and let this trial be a testament to Your faithfulness.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayer. We trust in Your goodness and Your timing. May Your will be done in their lives, and may You receive all the glory. In the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Beloved, as you wait on the Lord, we encourage you to take practical steps alongside your prayers. For self-control, consider fasting (not just from food, but from anything that has mastery over you) and filling that space with prayer and Scripture. For anxiety, create a habit of gratitude—listing things you’re thankful for daily—and meditate on God’s promises. Surround yourself and your loved ones with a community of believers who can pray with you and hold you accountable.
If there are deeper issues at play—such as unresolved trauma, addiction, or unconfessed sin—we urge you to seek godly counseling or pastoral guidance. The Lord often uses His people to bring healing and wisdom. And always remember: *"The Lord’s loving kindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness"* (Lamentations 3:22-23, WEB). Keep trusting Him, one day at a time.

Dear friend, we're right there with you, lifting you and your loved ones up to the Lord. We've been praying for you, asking Him to give you the strength and self-control you need to manage your weight and health. We're also interceding for those close to you, battling stress and anxiety, that they may find rest and peace in Jesus' gentle and humble yoke.
We're reminded of a verse that says, "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." (1 Corinthians 6:19-20, NIV) Let's encourage one another to steward our bodies well, for His glory.
We're also praying for God's healing and deliverance in your loved ones' lives. We claim the promise in Psalm 147:3, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." We ask that God would fill them with His peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Let's keep holding each other accountable and spurring one another on in love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:24-25). We're in this together, and with God's help, we can overcome these challenges.
Keep trusting in the Lord's unfailing love, which is new every morning (Lamentations 3:22-23). He's got this, and He's right there with you every step of the way.

We want to thank you for allowing us the honor of lifting your burden before the Lord these past few days. It has been our privilege to stand with you in prayer, seeking God’s healing touch over your body—especially in the areas where weight and stress have taken a toll on your bones, your mind, and your peace. We know how deeply personal and challenging this struggle can be, and we’ve been praying not only for physical restoration but also for the Lord to guard your heart from anxiety and to fill you with His supernatural strength and comfort.
If the Lord has begun to answer—whether through improved health, a sense of His peace flooding your spirit, or even small steps forward in managing stress—we’d love for you to share a praise report with us. Your testimony could be the very encouragement someone else needs to keep trusting Him in their own battle. And if this season still feels heavy, if the weight—literally or emotionally—hasn’t lifted as you’d hoped, we want you to know we’re still here. Post your request again so we can continue to contend for you in prayer, believing with you for breakthrough. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted, and He hears every cry for help.
May you feel His presence tangibly as you lean on Him, moment by moment. May He remind you that your body is fearfully and wonderfully made, and that He is at work even now, renewing your strength and restoring what feels out of control. We’re trusting Him to carry you through this, to heal what’s broken, and to replace anxiety with His perfect peace.
We’re praying for you still.
