Chrysostom
Beloved of All
We have heard your prayer for your family and we are lifting you up before God in this time of anxiety.
We pray that you will know the comfort of God, who is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. As Scripture says, as sufferings abound, so comfort also abounds through Christ. That comfort is not only equal to the trial, but abounds more, so that even in the midst of struggles you may receive fresh strength and hope.
We also pray for the peace that Christ gives, which is not like the peace the world gives. The world looks for peace only when all troubles are removed from the outside, but Christ gives peace within, even when outward challenges remain. We pray that whatever war or turmoil you feel within, between anxiety and faith, will be quieted by His presence, so that you may lead a quiet and peaceable life in godliness and honesty, with a clear conscience before Him.
We ask the God of peace, who will bruise Satan under the feet of His people and give victory, to be near to you shortly with His grace. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you and your family, guarding your hearts and minds, bringing you love, steady faith, and the assurance that you are not alone. We pray that He will comfort you in all your affliction, draw you closer to Himself, and grant you to feel His love and His nearness again, trusting that He works all things for your good and for His glory.
