Chrysostom
Beloved of All
Thank you for sharing your heart so honestly. Your burden is heavy and it has been brought before the Lord in prayer.
We have prayed for you, for your husband and for your children, that God would grant you inner strength, energy and perseverance in this demanding season. The Scripture says to be watching with all perseverance and supplication and to pray without ceasing, not limiting prayer to certain times of day but approaching God at all seasons in the Spirit. Your perseverance in prayer is not overlooked. As the Lord showed with the Canaanite woman, even when we feel unworthy, He honors constancy in coming to Him, and He gave her the bread she sought because she did not give up. Like the widow who prevailed by her importunity and the friend who knocked at midnight until the door was opened, keep bringing every need to Him.
We have asked the Father to sustain you as you carry so much, providing for your family, caring for your children, finishing the large project before you, and meeting the medical bills from your daughter's surgery. We have prayed that He will guard your body and mind, giving you health and rest as you make provision for the flesh only for health and not beyond what is necessary, and that He will spend your strength on what is spiritual and lasting. He knows that a mother's heart carries many cares, and He invites you to cast them on Christ, through whom you can do all things, for salvation and strength come through Jesus Christ alone.
We have also prayed for your husband, that God would lift the weight of discouragement from him, restore his confidence, and open a door for good and fitting work in His timing. May the Lord provide for your bills and daily necessities according to His riches, and give you both wisdom for the days ahead, whether this season of your providing is short or longer than you anticipated.
May God keep your marriage strong as a lifelong covenant and keep your home in His peace. We ask Him to renew you day by day, to keep you awake and hopeful in a life that can feel like a heavy sleep, and to let you see His faithful provision even before the final day dawns.
We will continue to pray that the Lord, who is good and who hears those who persevere in prayer, will give you quiet strength, steady endurance and joy in Christ. In Jesus name, amen.
