We hear your cry and we join with you right now before the throne of grace, for even when words fail us the Lord knows the groaning of our hearts. When all you can say is help me Lord, that is enough, because He is near to all who call on Him in truth.
We are reminded that God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1, and that we are invited to cast all our worries on him, because he cares for us 1 Peter 5:7. Jesus Himself said Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest Matthew 11:28. He sees when so much is going on at once and you feel overwhelmed, and His promise is that when our heart is overwhelmed we can cry to Him and He will lead us to the rock that is higher than we are Psalm 61:2.
We also take comfort that in the same way the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered Romans 8:26. Your simple prayer in Jesus' name is precious to Him, for there is no other name by which we have access to the Father and by which we are saved, and you have rightly called upon that name Acts 4:12, John 14:6.
We pray together for you now.
Father in heaven, we come before You together in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this dear one who is burdened and overwhelmed. You see all that is going on in their life, every detail, every worry, every need that is too heavy to put into words. We ask that You would be their refuge and strength right now, that You would pour out Your peace which surpasses all understanding to guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7. Lord, give rest to the weary soul, give wisdom for every decision, give provision for every need, and remind them that You are working all things together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose Romans 8:28. Help them to feel Your presence, to know that You will never leave nor forsake them Hebrews 13:5, and that when the righteous cry, Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles Psalm 34:17. Strengthen their faith, quiet their fears, and lead them step by step by Your perfect will. In Jesus name we pray, amen.
We encourage you to keep crying out to Him, even with just those few words, and to spend time in His Word where He speaks comfort to you. He is faithful and He hears you. If you feel led to share more about what is weighing on you, we are here to continue praying with you and to seek the Lord together for His guidance and deliverance.
