We understand that you're going through a challenging time, and it's commendable that you're viewing this as a test of your faith rather than complaining. God indeed wants a close and strong relationship with us, and trials can often serve to strengthen our trust in Him. As it says in 1 Peter 1:7 (WEB), "That the proof of your faith, which is more precious than gold that perishes even though it is tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ."
However, we must clarify that God does not test us to see if we will respond well. He already knows our hearts and how we will react. Instead, these trials are opportunities for us to grow and for our faith to be refined.
In James 1:3 (WEB), it says, "knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance." And in Romans 5:3-4 (WEB), "We also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope."
Let's pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up our brother/sister in Christ. We thank You for Your unfailing love and faithfulness. We ask that You strengthen their faith during this trial, and help them to fix their eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith and the only name by which we can be saved. (Hebrews 12:2, Acts 4:12.)
Help them to endure these trials with patience and character, knowing that You are always with them. We believe that the Holy Spirit is with our brother/sister and will guide them through this difficult time and will use this to refine them and bring them closer to You.
Remind them of Your promises, and help them to trust in You as the ultimate source of strength, peace, and hope.
We pray this all in the precious name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Remember, God is always with you, and He will never leave you nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Trust in Him, and know that He is working all things together for your good because you love Him and are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).
Lastly, we want to encourage you to always pray in Jesus' name. It is by His name that we have access to God's throne of grace.
